Abstract

A power-supplying system for a sliding structure includes: a protector cover having a base plate and a flange-shaped peripheral wall; a link arm rotatably supported along the base plate in the protector cover, and supporting a wiring harness at a top end side of a rotation; and an elastic member urging the link arm in a harness slack absorbing direction. The power-supplying system is disposed in the sliding structure. The protector cover is fixed to a panel of the sliding structure. An opening of the protector cover facing the base plate at a rear side is covered by the panel. The wiring harness is guided out from an oblong opening interposed between the protector cover and the panel toward a fixing structure.
