Abstract

There is disclosed a wire harness fixing structure for fixing a wire harness to a mounting portion, the wire harness comprising wires, and a corrugated tube through which the wires pass. The corrugated tube is divided into a plurality of sections in a longitudinal direction thereof. That portion of the wires exposed at a division portion is held by a fixing device, and the fixing device is fixed to the mounting portion.

Claims (35)

1. A wire harness fixing structure for fixing a wire harness to a mounting portion, comprising:

a wire; and

a corrugated tube through which the wire passes;

wherein said corrugated tube is divided into a plurality of sections in a longitudinal direction thereof;

a part of said wire exposed at a division portion between the adjacent sections is held by a fixing device; and

said fixing device is fixed to the mounting portion;

wherein the fixing device comprises a holder having an arc shape that holds only the wire exposed at the division portion, and a fixing band that binds the wires held on the holder, and a pair of holes provided at opposite ends of the holder in the longitudinal direction through which the fixing band is inserted.

2. A wire harness fixing structure according to claim 1 , wherein said wire is covered with a braid made of metal.

3. A wire harness fixing structure according to claim 1 , wherein a first portion of the wire extends longitudinally from an end of a first section of the plurality of sections;

a second portion of the wire extends longitudinally from an end of a second section of the plurality of sections; and

a first band fastens the wire to the fixing device at the first portion of the wire and a second band fastens the wire to the fixing device at the second portion of the wire.

4. A wire harness fixing structure according to claim 3 , wherein a mounting piece portion that fixes the fixing device to the mounting portion is disposed between said first band and said second band.

5. A wire harness fixing structure according to claim 1 , further comprising an insulative tape wound on an end portion of the corrugated tube thereby fixing the end portion to the wire.

6. A wire harness fixing method for fixing a wire harness including a wire and a corrugated tube through which the wire passes to a mounting portion, comprising the steps of:

dividing said corrugated tube into a plurality of sections in a longitudinal direction thereof to expose a part of said wire at a division portion between the adjacent sections;

holding said wire at said division portion by a fixing device comprising a holder having an arc shape that holds the wire, and a fixing band that binds the wires exposed at the division portion and held on the holder, and a pair of holes provided at opposite ends of the holder in the longitudinal direction through which the fixing band is inserted; and

fixing said fixing device to the mounting portion.

7. A wire harness fixing method according to claim 6 , wherein an insulative tape is wound on an end portion of the corrugated tube thereby fixing the end portion to the wire.

8. A wire harness fixing structure for fixing a wire harness to a mounting portion, comprising:

a wire covered with a braid made of metal; and

a corrugated tube through which the wire passes;

wherein said corrugated tube is divided into a plurality of sections in a longitudinal direction thereof;

a part of said wire exposed at a divisional portion between the adjacent sections is held by a fixing device; and

said fixing device is fixed to the mounting portion;

wherein said fixing device comprises a holder having an arc shape that holds the wire, and a fixing band that binds the wires exposed at the division portion and held on the holder, and a pair of holes provided at opposite ends of the holder in the longitudinal direction through which the fixing band is inserted.

9. A wire harness fixing structure according to claim 8 , further comprising an insulative tape wound on an and portion of the corrugated tube thereby fixing the end portion to the wire.

10. A wire harness fixing structure for fixing a wire harness to a mounting portion, comprising:

a wire; and

a corrugated tube through which the wire passes;

wherein said corrugated tube is divided into a plurality of sections in a longitudinal direction thereof;

a part of said wire exposed at a division portion between the adjacent sections is held by a fixing device; and

said fixing device is fixed to the mounting portion;

wherein said fixing device comprises a holder having an arc shape that holds the wire, and a fixing band that binds the wires exposed at the division portion and held on the holder, and a pair of holes provided at opposite ends of the holder in the longitudinal direction through which the fixing band is inserted; wherein

the holder comprises a mounting portion that fixes the holder to the mounting portion.

11. A wire harness fixing structure according to claim 10 , further comprising an insulative tape wound on an end portion of the corrugated tube thereby fixing the end portion to the wire.
