Abstract

Inflexible tube portions are formed so that their inner surfaces are located at the same position as inner surface portions of flexible tube portions. Therefore, the inner diameter of the former is set the same as that of the latter. The inner surface of each inflexible tube portion is formed so as to be connected to the inner surface portion of each adjacent flexible tube portion so as to form a gentle curved surface.

Claims (9)

1. A wire harness comprising:

one or plural conductive paths; and

an exterior member that has a tube shape and covers the conductive path or paths, wherein:

the exterior member comprises a flexible tube portion and an inflexible tube portion that does not have flexibility on the order of the flexibility of the flexible tube portion,

the flexible tube portion and the inflexible tube portion each has a rectangular cross section, and inner surfaces of the flexible tube portion and the inflexible tube portion are connected to each other so as to form a gentle surface,

one of the one or plural conductive paths includes a conductor, an insulator covering the conductor, an electromagnetic shield member covering the insulator, and a sheath disposed on an exterior of the electromagnetic shield member, and

a pair of longer side walls extending in a horizontal direction of the inflexible tube portion are provided with a plurality of projections.

2. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein inner diameters of the flexible tube portion and the inflexible tube portion are set identical.

3. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive path or paths are formed so as to extend under a vehicle floor and have such a front-rear length as to span the vehicle floor, and the exterior member is formed so as to extend under the vehicle floor and have such a front-rear length as to span the vehicle floor.
