Power feeding structure for sliding door
View Patent ↗Provided is a power feeding structure for a sliding door, in which the wire harness is routed from a swinging member placed near a rear portion of a vehicle body-side step portion to a sliding door-side swinging member through an opening behind the step portion, and a forward turning angle of the vehicle body-side swinging member is restricted so that the wire harness forms a projection which projects from the vehicle body-side swinging member toward an outer side of the vehicle than the step portion and a curved portion which projects in a convex form outward of the vehicle when the sliding door is slid forward of a vehicle and is fully closed. When the sliding door is fully closed, the sliding door-side swinging member is biased inward of the vehicle by a spring member.
1. A power feeding structure for a sliding door, comprising:
a wire harness;
a vehicle body-side swinging member placed near a rear portion of a vehicle body-side step portion; and
a sliding door-side swinging member, the wire harness being routed from the vehicle body-side swinging member to the sliding door-side swinging member through an opening behind the step portion, wherein
a forward turning angle of the vehicle body-side swinging member is restricted so that the wire harness forms a projection which projects from the vehicle body-side swinging member toward an outer side of the vehicle more than the step portion and a curved portion which projects in a convex form outward of the vehicle, and the wire harness curves toward an inner side of the vehicle following the curved portion when the sliding door is slid forward of a vehicle and is fully closed.
2. The power feeding structure for a sliding door according to claim 1 , wherein when the sliding door is fully closed, the sliding door-side swinging member is biased inward of the vehicle by a spring member.
3. The power feeding structure for a sliding door according to claim 2 , wherein when the sliding door is fully closed, the wire harness is bent substantially in S shape between the vehicle body-side swinging member and the sliding door-side swinging member.
