Abstract

A wire harness ( 11 ) includes a one-sided self-adhesive sheet ( 28 ) which has a special adhesive layer ( 23 ) and is formed with a sheet hole ( 21 ), and which is folded at a folded part ( 25 ) so that two parts of the adhesive surface ( 23 ) are adhered and fixed, electric wires ( 15 ) which are sandwiched between the two parts of the special adhesive layer ( 23 ) along the folded part ( 25 ), and which have two end parts which are derived from the one-sided self-adhesive sheet ( 28 ), and a clip ( 17 ) which has a base plate ( 37 ), from which an elastic locking leg ( 43 ) which is inserted into the sheet hole ( 21 ) is raised, and which is formed with a regulating edge portion ( 45 ) which is sandwiched by the one-sided adhesive sheet ( 28 ) along the folded part ( 25 ).

Claims (11)

1. A wire harness, comprising:

a one-sided adhesive sheet having a first terminating edge, a second terminating edge, an adhesive surface extending from the first terminating edge to the second terminating edge, a sheet hole, and a folded part so that two parts of the adhesive surface adhere and fix to each other with the first terminating edge in alignment with the second terminating edge to define a sheet edge bonded part;

an electric wire, sandwiched between the two parts of the adhesive surface along the folded part, and having two end parts of which derived from the one-sided adhesive sheet; and

a clip having a regulating edge portion in a base plate on which an elastic locking leg inserted into the sheet hole is raised, and the clip having a pair of convex pieces which protrude from a respective end of the base plate and extend parallel to the base plate, wherein the regulating edge portion is sandwiched by the one-sided adhesive sheet along the folded part and abuts against the folded part, wherein

the base plate is formed with an opposite regulating edge portion, and

the opposite regulating edge portion, which is opposite to the folded part, is abutted against a step part which is defined by a bend in the one-sided adhesive sheet that extends along a thickness of the base plate, and wherein

the regulating edge portion and the opposite regulating edge portion are located between the pair of convex pieces, and

the one sided adhesive sheet encloses each of the convex pieces therein.

2. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the regulating edge portion is secured by the folded part so as to prevent rotation of the folded part.

3. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the opposite regulating edge portion is secured by the step part so as to prevent rotation of the folded part.

4. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the electric wire and the clip are separated by a sheet middle bonded portion where the one-sided adhesive sheet folds over itself and the two parts adhere and fix together without a gap.
