Abstract

A wire harness includes a flexible conductor connecting a vehicle body with a movable body mounted on a vehicle and sliding relative to the vehicle body, a flexible limiting member extending along the conductor to limit the path of the conductor, a flexible outer member in which the conductor and the limiting member are inserted, and a holding member having a first trench for routing the conductor and a second trench adjacent to the first trench and holding an end of the limiting member. The holding member has a partition wall separating the first trench from the second trench, locking walls facing each other and locking an end of the outer member, and side walls defining the first trench. The locking walls project higher than the side walls, and the partition wall projects higher than the locking walls in a height direction of the side walls.

Claims (32)

1. A wire harness comprising:

a flexible conductor connecting a vehicle body of a vehicle with a movable body mounted on the vehicle and sliding relative to the vehicle body;

a flexible limiting member extending along the conductor to limit a path of the conductor;

a flexible outer member in which the conductor and the limiting member are inserted; and

a holding member having a first trench in which the conductor is routed and a second trench disposed adjacent to the first trench and holding an end of the limiting member, wherein

the holding member has a partition wall that separates the first trench from the second trench, a pair of locking walls that face each other and lock an end of the outer member, and side walls that define the first trench, and

in a height direction of the side walls, the locking walls project to a higher position than the side walls and the partition wall projects to a higher position than the locking walls.

2. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein

the partition wall is a flat wall extending along a routing path of the conductor.

3. The wire harness according to claim 2 , wherein

the partition wall is disposed in an extension of a passage formed between the pair of locking walls.

4. The wire harness according to claim 3 , wherein

the holding member has a facing wall facing the partition wall and defining the second trench, and

the facing wall has a raised portion projecting toward the partition wall, the limiting member being sandwiched between the raised portion and the partition wall.

5. The wire harness according to claim 4 , wherein
