Abstract

A wiring member includes: a wire-like transmission member (for example, an electric wire); a first sheet member including one main surface to which the wire-like transmission member is fixed; and a second sheet member fixed to the first sheet member on a side of another main surface of the first sheet member. The first sheet member is suitable for fixing of the wire-like transmission member in comparison to the second sheet member. One member of the first sheet member and the second sheet member includes a space into which another member being melted can be filled. The first sheet member and the second sheet member overlap each other with the another member out of the first sheet member and the second sheet member being melted, filled and then solidified in the space of the one member.

Claims (27)

1. A wiring member comprising:

a wire-like transmission member, including a core wire and a coating surrounding an entire periphery of the core wire;

a first sheet member including one main surface to which the wire-like transmission member is fixed; and

a second sheet member fixed to the first sheet member on a side of another main surface of the first sheet member, wherein

the first sheet member is suitable for fixing of the wire-like transmission member in comparison to the second sheet member,

one sheet member of the first sheet member and the second sheet member includes a space, and the other sheet member of the first sheet member and the second sheet member is melted and filled into the space of the one sheet member, and

the first sheet member and the second sheet member overlap each other with the other sheet member being melted, filled and then solidified in the space of the one sheet member,

the first sheet member is made of resin of a type same as a type of resin of the coating of the wire-like transmission member, and

the coating of the wire-like transmission member is fixed to the one main surface of the first sheet member, with one of the first sheet member and the coating of the wire-like transmission member being melted and solidified.

2. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein

a melting point of the one sheet member is higher than a melting point of the other sheet member.

3. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein

the first sheet member is a sheet-like member with inside being uniformly filled,

the second sheet member is a nonwoven sheet member including a plurality of fibers and the space between the plurality of fibers, and

the first sheet member and the nonwoven sheet member overlap each other with the first sheet member being melted being filled and then solidified in the space of the nonwoven sheet member.

4. The wiring member according to claim 3 , wherein

the first sheet member being melted is filled and then solidified in the space of the nonwoven sheet member on a side of the first sheet member, and

the space remains in a part of the nonwoven sheet member away from the first sheet member.

5. The wiring member according claim 1 , wherein

the coating of the wire-like transmission member and the first sheet member are made of resin containing polyvinyl chloride as a main component, and

the second sheet member is made of resin less extensible than the resin of the first sheet member.

6. A laminated sheet comprising:

a first sheet member; and

a second sheet member fixed to the first sheet member on a side of a main surface of the first sheet member, wherein

one sheet member of the first sheet member and the second sheet member includes a space, and the other sheet member of the first sheet member and the second sheet member is melted and filled into the space of the one sheet member,

the first sheet member and the second sheet member overlap each other with the other sheet member being melted, filled and then solidified in the space of the one sheet member, and

the second sheet member is a nonwoven sheet member including a plurality of fibers and adhesive resin having a melting point lower than a melting point of the fibers.
