Abstract

A wire harness routing device includes: a rail for a sliding seat, which is installed on a floor surface of a vehicle; a slider that is slidably attached to the rail; a wire harness extending from the sliding seat side; a guide member configured to connect the wire harness to the slider, and to guide the wire harness to the side of the rail and in a direction along the rail; and an accommodation portion that is provided to the side of the rail, and that accommodates the wire harness that is guided by the guide member so that the wire harness is movable along with the movement of the slider, wherein the guide member is connected to the slider to be able to approach and separate from the slider, and to be inclined to the slider.

Claims (24)

1. A wire harness routing device, comprising:

a rail for a sliding seat, which is installed on a floor surface of a vehicle;

a slider that is slidably attached to the rail;

a wire harness extending from the sliding seat side;

a guide member that connects the wire harness to the slider, and that guides the wire harness to the side of the rail and in a direction along the rail; and

an accommodation portion that is provided to the side of the rail, and that accommodates the wire harness that is guided by the guide member so that the wire harness is movable along with the movement of the slider,

wherein the guide member is connected to the slider while being able to approach the slider and separate from the slider, and to be inclined to the slider.

2. The wire harness routing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the guide member includes a connection portion for connecting to the slider, and the connection portion is connected to the slider side via elastic members.

3. The wire harness routing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein a first attachment portion including a pair of vertical surfaces that extend in a vertical direction with respect to the floor surface and are disposed facing each other is provided on the slider side, and

the connection portion is connected to the first attachment portion in a state where the connection portion is disposed between the pair of vertical surfaces and the elastic members are disposed on both sides of the connection portion.

4. The wire harness routing device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the connection portion is connected to the first attachment portion through bolt fastening, and

a bolt insertion hole of the connection portion for inserting a bolt has a long hole shape extending in the vertical direction.

5. The wire harness routing device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the elastic members are disposed around the bolts.

6. The wire harness routing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein a second attachment portion including a pair of parallel surfaces that extends in a direction parallel to the floor surface and is disposed facing each other is provided on the slider side,

the guide member is provided with a second connection portion extending in the parallel direction for connecting to the slider, and

the second connection portion is connected to the second attachment portion in a state where the second connection portion is disposed between the pair of parallel surfaces and the elastic members are disposed on both sides of the second connection portion.

7. The wire harness routing device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the second connection portion is connected to the second attachment portion through bolt fastening, and

a second bolt insertion hole of the second connection portion for inserting the bolt has a long hole shape extending in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the accommodation portion and in the parallel direction.
