Abstract

A wire harness includes a harness main body including one or a plurality of conductive paths and an exterior member through which the one or a plurality of conductive paths is inserted, a packing bent portion arranged in a middle of the harness main body and used as a bent portion at a position suitable for packing the wire harness, and a routing path regulating portion arranged at the position suitable for packing the wire harness and configured to regulate the wire harness at a desired path when routing the wire harness.

Claims (11)

1. A wire harness comprising:

a harness main body including one or a plurality of conductive paths and an exterior member through which the one or a plurality of conductive paths is inserted;

a packing bent portion arranged in a middle of the harness main body and used as a bent portion at a position suitable for packing the wire harness; and

a routing path regulating portion arranged at the position suitable for packing the wire harness and configured to regulate the wire harness at a desired path when routing the wire harness,

wherein the exterior member includes a joint mechanism in accordance with the position suitable for packing the wire harness,

wherein the joint mechanism includes one divided portion and another divided portion that are arranged so as to be separated from each other in an axial direction of the exterior member, an integral base portion arranged so as to overlap the one divided portion and the other divided portion, one rotating shaft portion for making the one divided portion rotatable with respect to one end of the base portion, and another rotating shaft portion for making the other divided portion rotatable with respect to the other end of the base portion,

wherein the packing bent portion is formed when the one divided portion and the other divided portion are arranged in a folded state without being connected to each other by the joint mechanism,

wherein the routing path regulating portion is arranged at the position suitable for packing the wire harness when the one divided portion and the other divided portion are arranged in a substantially linear shape by the joint mechanism,

wherein the wire harness is further comprising a flexible pipe portion having a flexibility in a middle of the exterior member in an axial direction,

wherein the packing bent portion of the flexible pipe portion is formed when the flexible pipe portion is bent into the folded state, and

wherein the routing path regulating portion is arranged at the position suitable for packing the wire harness when a post-attaching member having a recess portion for the desired path is assembled to the flexible pipe portion released from the folded state.
