Abstract

A curved wall portion along which a wiring harness is bendably extended has a foreign-matter-escape side opening, at one wall continuing to a top opening of an upward guiding cylinder of a protector. A foreign-matter-escape side opening on the other wall of the cylinder proximate to the opening is opposed to the curved wall portion. A projection on the other wall in the guiding cylinder and below the side opening of the wall has an upwardly sloping surface continuing thereto. A projection in the guiding cylinder is above the side opening of the other wall, traversing the cylinder. The protector includes one separate protector member and the other separate protector member, the former having a projection extending toward the latter to cover a joining area thereof.

Claims (8)

1. A protector structure for an electric power feeding apparatus comprising a curved wall portion provided at one wall of an upwardly extending guiding cylinder of a protector, the curved wall portion continuing to a top opening of the guiding cylinder such that a wiring harness is bendably pulled out along the curved wall portion, and the curved wall portion having a first side opening for exiting of a foreign matter, the first side opening being proximate to the opening.

2. A protector structure for an electric power feeding apparatus comprising:

a curved wall portion provided at one side wall of an upwardly extending guiding cylinder of a protector having a first side opening, the curved wall portion continuing to a top opening of the guiding cylinder such that a wiring harness is bendably pulled out along the curved wall portion;

an other side wall of the guiding cylinder; and

a second side opening for exiting of a foreign matter provided on the other side wall of the guiding cylinder, the second side opening being proximate to the top opening and the other side wall being opposite the curved wall portion of the guiding cylinder.

3. The protector structure for the electric power feeding apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a projection provided inside of the guiding cylinder and on the other side wall thereof, the projection projecting from a lower side of the side opening and having an upwardly sloping surface continuing to the side opening.

4. The protector structure for the electric power feeding apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a projection provided inside of the guiding cylinder and on the other side wall thereof, the projection projecting from an upper side of the side opening and traversing inside of the guiding cylinder.

5. The protector structure for the electric power feeding apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the protector includes two separate protector members, the one separate protector member having the projection that extends towards the other separate protector member such that a joining area between the separate protector members is covered by the projection.
