View Patent ↗An exterior member has an exterior member body having a base color, and an identification mark having an identification color different from the base color. The identification mark includes at least one of a plurality of line marks provided parallel to each other, and a line mark provided continuously and spirally.
1. An exterior member for covering, along an electric wire arranged between electric components, an outer peripheral surface of the electric wire, the exterior member comprising:
an exterior member body configured to have an elongated tubular shape and having a base color; and
an identification mark provided on an external surface of the exterior member body and having an identification color different from the base color,
wherein the identification mark comprises at least one of:
a plurality of line marks provided continuously along a longitudinal direction of the exterior member body and parallel to each other; and
at least one line mark provided continuously and spirally along the longitudinal direction of the exterior member body, and
wherein each line mark has a line width, the line marks that are next to each other are provided so as to be separated at a given interval, and a ratio of the interval to the line width is between two and ten.
2. The exterior member according to claim 1 , wherein each line mark has a line width, the line marks that are next to each other are provided so as to be separated at a given interval, and a ratio of the interval to the line width is twice or more.
3. The exterior member according to claim 1 , wherein the identification color of the auxiliary mark is a complementary color to the identification of the line mark.
4. The exterior member according to claim 1 , wherein
the identification mark comprises an auxiliary mark provided along one side or each side of the line mark in a width direction of the line mark and colored in another identification color different from the identification color of the line mark.
5. An electric wire arrangement structure comprising an electric wire arranged in a front-rear direction of a vehicle and below a floor of the vehicle, and an exterior member covering an outer periphery of the electric wire, the exterior member comprising:
an exterior member body configured to have an elongated tubular shape and having a base color; and
an identification mark provided on an external surface of the exterior member body and having an identification color different from the base color,
wherein the identification mark comprises at least one of:
a plurality of line marks provided continuously along a longitudinal direction of the exterior member body and parallel to each other; and
at least one line mark provided continuously and spirally along the longitudinal direction of the exterior member body, and
wherein each line mark has a line width, the line marks that are next to each other are provided so as to be separated at a given interval, and a ratio of the interval to the line width is between two and ten.
6. The exterior member according to claim 5 , wherein the identification color of the auxiliary mark is a complementary color to the identification color of the line mark.
