Abstract

A wire harness includes a tubular shaped exterior member, a conductive path protected by the exterior member, and a vibration suppression member post-fitted to the conductive path and disposed inside the exterior member. The exterior member is formed into a shape having no slit. Ribs are formed in an outer circumferential surface of the vibration suppression member so as to be disposed at circumferential intervals. The rib is formed into a shape in which a front end surface thereof in a protruding direction thereof protrudes to a position near an inner surface of the exterior member or to a position contacting the inner surface.

Claims (11)

1. A wire harness comprising:

an exterior member including a first opening portion and a second opening portion on both ends thereof and having a tubular shape;

a conductive path protected by the exterior member; and

a vibration suppression member attached to the conductive path on an outside of the conductive path, and disposed inside the exterior member, wherein

the exterior member is formed into a shape having no slit, and configured to receive the conductive path therethrough from the first opening portion toward the second opening portion, the vibration suppression member is formed so that the vibration suppression member can be inserted into the exterior member together with the conductive path,

a plurality of ribs extending in a direction in which the vibration suppression member is inserted into the exterior member are formed in an outer circumferential surface of the vibration suppression member so as to be disposed at predetermined circumferential intervals, and

each of the plurality of ribs is formed into a shape in which a front end surface of each of the plurality of ribs in a protruding direction of each of the plurality of ribs protrudes to a position near an inner surface of the exterior member or to a position contacting the inner surface.

2. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein

the each of the plurality of ribs is formed to be tapered for the vibration suppression member to be guided when inserted into the first opening portion.

3. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein

a tape winding portion as a part on which a tape can be wound is formed in the vibration suppression member.
