Feeding device and harness wiring structure using the same
View Patent ↗A feeding device includes a case, which includes a body receiving a wire harness with extra length portion and a guide tube projecting from the body, a distal-end protector and an intermediary protector both of which are attached to the wire harness. The intermediary protector is inserted into the guide tube so as to be able to move forward and backward freely, and the distal-end protector is projected out of the guide tube, and a bendable portion of the wire harness is exposedly formed between the distal-end protector and the intermediary protector. A hood along a bending outer surface of the bendable portion is provided at the distal-end protector. The extra length portion of the wire harness is received in the body so as to be formed into a loop shape.
1. A feeding device comprising:
a case having a body receiving a wire harness including an extra length portion thereof and a guide tube projecting from the body; and
a distal-end protector and an intermediary protector, both of which are attached to the wire harness,
wherein the intermediary protector is inserted into the guide tube so as to be able to move forward and backward freely, and the distal-end protector is projected out of the guide tube, and a bendable portion of the wire harness is exposedly formed between the distal-end protector and the intermediary protector.
2. A feeding device according to claim 1 , wherein a hood along a bending outer surface of the bendable portion is provided at the distal-end protector.
3. A feeding device according to claim 1 , wherein the extra length portion of the wire harness is received in the body so as to be formed into a loop shape.
4. A harness wiring structure using the feeding device according to any one of claims 1 to 3 ,
wherein the distal-end protector is fixed to a movable structure, and the case is fixed to a fixed structure, and
wherein the wire harness is bent at the bendable portion following a rotation trajectory of the movable structure while the intermediary protector is received in the guide tube.
5. A harness wiring structure according to claim 4 , wherein the intermediary protector is entered into the guide tube by the movable structure pushing the hood.
