Abstract

A wiring member includes: a first sheet material; a second sheet material overlapped with the first sheet material; and a fixed wire-like transmission member and a free wire-like transmission member located between the first sheet material and the second sheet material, wherein the second sheet material is fixed to the first sheet material in a first fixing part and a second fixing part away from the first fixing part, the fixed wire-like transmission member is fixed to the first sheet material between the first fixing part and the second fixing part, and the free wire-like transmission member is disposed between the first sheet material and the second sheet material while being parallelly arranged to the fixed wire-like transmission member.

Claims (29)

1 . A wiring member, comprising:

a first sheet material;

a second sheet material overlapped with the first sheet material; and

a fixed wire-like transmission member and a free wire-like transmission member located between the first sheet material and the second sheet material, wherein

the second sheet material is fixed to the first sheet material in a first fixing part and a second fixing part away from the first fixing part,

an intermittent weld is provided along a longitudinal direction of the fixed wire-like transmission member and fixes the fixed wire-like transmission member is fixed to the first sheet material, the fixed wire-like transmission member being positioned between the first fixing part and the second fixing part, and

the free wire-like transmission member is disposed between the first sheet material and the second sheet material while being parallelly arranged to the fixed wire-like transmission member.

2 . The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein

the fixed wire-like transmission member includes a first fixed wire-like transmission member and a second fixed wire-like transmission member located away from each other and fixed in a parallel state between the first fixing part and the second fixing part, and

the free wire-like transmission member includes an intermediate free wire-like transmission member disposed between the first fixed wire-like transmission member and the second fixed wire-like transmission member.

3 . The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein

rigidity is different between the first sheet material and the second sheet material.

4 . The wiring member according claim 1 , wherein

the fixed wire-like transmission member is thicker than the free wire-like transmission member.

5 . The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein

the fixed wire-like transmission member has contact with the second sheet material.

6 . A wiring member, comprising:

a first sheet material;

a second sheet material overlapped with the first sheet material; and

a fixed wire-like transmission member and a free wire-like transmission member located between the first sheet material and the second sheet material, wherein

the second sheet material is fixed to the first sheet material in a first fixing part and a second fixing part away from the first fixing part,

an intermittent weld is provided along a longitudinal direction of the fixed wire-like transmission member and fixes the fixed wire-like transmission member is fixed to the first sheet material, the fixed wire-like transmission member being positioned between the first fixing part and the second fixing part,

the free wire-like transmission member is disposed between the first sheet material and the second sheet material while being parallelly arranged to the fixed wire-like transmission member, and

a surface material of the fixed wire-like transmission member has characteristics that peeling strength by fusion to the first sheet material is larger than peeling strength of the free wire-like transmission member by fusion to the first sheet material.

7 . The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein

the fixed wire-like transmission member is fused and fixed to the first sheet material, and

the free wire-like transmission member is disposed between the first sheet material and the second sheet material without being fused and fixed to the first sheet material and the second sheet material.

8 . The wiring member according to claim 6 , wherein

the fixed wire-like transmission member is fused and fixed to the first sheet material, and the free wire-like transmission member is disposed between the first sheet material and the second sheet material without being fused and fixed to the first sheet material and the second sheet material.
