Abstract

A wire harness includes a conductive path and an exterior member with a tubular shape which covers the conductive path. The exterior member includes a bent route portion and a straight route portion with a straight shape. The straight route portion includes a first straight tubular portion; a second straight tubular portion; a third straight tubular portion that is disposed between the first straight tubular portion and the second straight tubular portion; and a shift correction portion that allows the third straight tubular portion to be displaced relative to the first straight tubular portion and the second straight tubular portion in a perpendicular axial direction of the straight route portion.

Claims (12)

1. A wire harness comprising:

a conductive path; and

an exterior member with a tubular shape which covers the conductive path, wherein the exterior member includes a bent route portion and a straight route portion with a straight shape, and the straight route portion includes

a first straight tubular portion;

a second straight tubular portion;

a third straight tubular portion that is disposed between the first straight tubular portion and the second straight tubular portion; and

a pair of shift correction portions that allows the third straight tubular portion to be displaced relative to the first straight tubular portion and the second straight tubular portion in a perpendicular axial direction of the straight route portion,

wherein the shift correction portions are more rigid than the bent route portion.

2. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein a fixing portion is provided in each of the first straight tubular portion, the second straight tubular portion, and the third straight tubular portion, and is fixed to a fixation target at a routing destination.

3. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of displacement of the third straight tubular portion relative to the first straight tubular portion and the second straight tubular portion due to the shift correction portions is set within a range of a width dimension of the straight route portion.

4. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the exterior member is formed to have a length so as to straddle a front and a rear of a vehicle underfloor via the vehicle underfloor, and the straight route portion is disposed and formed conforming to at least a position of the vehicle underfloor.

5. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the shift correction portions have a shape different from the bent route portion.
