Abstract

For preventing a slack of a wire harness and bending the wire harness more smoothly, a harness holder includes an inner clamp member for supporting the wire harness and an outer clamp member supporting rotatably the inner clamp member. The slack preventing member is formed longer than the harness guide in a harness leading direction. Mounting the harness holder at a vehicle body and disposing a protector for receiving the wire harness at a slide door, the wire harness is wired from the harness holder to the protector. In a partially opened slide door, the slack preventing member supports the wire harness. In a full opened and a completely closed door, the harness guide supports the wire harness.

Claims (11)

1. A harness holder, comprising:

an inner clamp member for supporting a wire harness, said inner clamp member having a clamp body with a cylindrical portion having projecting means at axial ends thereof for engaging with grooves of a harness, and a harness support wall with a slack preventing member, extending axially from said clamp body in a direction of leading the harness out, for preventing slack of the wire harness; and

an outer clamp member for supporting rotatably the inner clamp member, wherein

said slack preventing member is formed integrally with an opposed harness guide of the harness support wall.

2. The harness holder according to claim 1 , wherein said slack preventing member has a curved surface, a diameter of which increases outwardly in a direction of leading the harness out.

3. The harness holder according to claim 1 , wherein said harness guide has a curved surface, a diameter of which increases outwardly in a direction of leading the harness out.

4. The harness holder according to claim 1 , wherein said slack preventing member is formed longer than the harness guide in a direction of leading the harness out.

5. The harness holder according to claim 4 , wherein a cutout is disposed opposite said slack preventing member and said harness guide is formed shortly at a side of the cutout.

6. The harness holder according to claim 1 , wherein an opening is formed along a lengthwise direction of the harness between the harness guide and the slack preventing member.

7. The harness holder according to claim 1 , wherein said harness guide is continued with an annular shape to the slack preventing member.

8. The harness holder according to claim 1 , wherein the outer clamp member is provided at the top end thereof with a guide surface being positioned on a surface extending along a curved surface of the harness guide.
