Harness protector and wire-harness wiring structure

1. A harness protector comprising:

a protector body comprising a substantially planar-shaped bottom-plate section on which a wire harness is placed and a substantially planar-shaped holding plate section that is integrally and rotatably formed on a first side of the bottom-plate section and extends to a second opposite side thereof and crushes the wire harness into an oblate cross-section shape with the wire harness being interposed between the holding plate section and the bottom-plate section;

a tying band which extends from the first side of the bottom-plate section to the second side thereof and along a top surface of the holding plate section to anchor the holding plate section onto the bottom-plate section in a state where the holding plate section crushes the wire harness into the oblate cross-section shape by shifting relative positions of electric wires of the wire harness; and

extension sections configured to lead branched wires of the wire harness from the protector body at a plurality of orthogonal angles to a longitudinal axis of the protector body, wherein

the extension sections are orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the protector body, and

the longitudinal axis extending substantially parallel to a longest side of the protector body,

wherein the tying band extends from the first side to the second side in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and covers an entire width of the wire harness in the protector body, and

wherein the harness protector is used as a means for anchoring the wire harness to the structures in the vicinity of a moveable connection section,

the harness protector further comprising:

an anchoring section that protrudes from an outer surface of the protector body and is fitted into an attaching hole of a structure on a wiring path of the wire harness, thereby connecting the protector body to the structure;

a protector cover that is detachably engaged with the protector body and covers an opening section of the protector body; and

side-plate deficiency sections for leading branched wires of the wire harness through respective side-plate sections,

wherein the protector body comprises a pair of side-plate sections that is provided to stand at both sides of the bottom-plate section, and the holding plate section is integrally and rotatably formed with one of the pair of side-plate sections, and

wherein the side-plate deficiency sections are provided other than at an end of the protector body in the longitudinal direction at which the extension sections are provided.

2. The harness protector according to claim 1 , wherein the holding plate section is provided with a first movement restraint projection configured to press into a contacting surface of the wire harness to thus restrain axial movement of the wire harness.

3. The harness protector according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom-plate section is provided with a second movement restraint projection configured to press into a contacting surface of the wire harness to thus restrain axial movement of the wire harness.

4. A wire-harness wiring structure that arranges a wire harness between two structures over the moveable connection section moveably connecting the two structures,

wherein the harness protector according to claim 1 is used as the means for anchoring the wire harness to the structures in the vicinity of the moveable connection section.

5. The harness protector according to claim 1 , wherein the tying band is wound around an outside of the protector body.

6. The harness protector according to claim 1 , wherein the extension sections extend from the bottom-plate section and formed in a trough shape so as to hold a plurality of branched wires which are branched from the wire harness.

7. The harness protector according to claim 1 , wherein the extension sections branch from an end of the protector body along the longitudinal axis.

8. The harness protector according to claim 7 , wherein another extension section branches from the end of the protector body and is configured to lead a plurality of wires of the wire harness from the end of the protector body in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.

9. The harness protector according to claim 1 , wherein a second holding plate section is provided on the protector body and spaced from the holding plate section along the longitudinal axis.
