An electric junction box has a binding band fitting hole, and two through holes through which a binding band for securing wire harnesses which are arranged along a lower face of a bottom wall of the binding band fitting hole are provided on the bottom wall so as to be positioned at both sides of the wire harnesses. When the wire harnesses are secured, a tip end of the binding band is inserted into one of the two through holes from a lower side of the bottom wall, the tip end of the binding band which has been exposed to an upper side of the bottom wall is U-turned in a downward direction to be inserted into the other of the two through holes, and then, the tip end of the binding band which has been exposed to the lower side of the bottom wall is locked to a lock part provided at a base end of the binding band, thereby to secure the wire harnesses to the lower face of the bottom wall. An upper face of a part of the bottom wall between the two through holes is formed as an arc-shaped wall which is curved upward in a convex shape, whereby a convex arc-shaped face and a concave arc-shaped face are formed on upper and lower faces of the bottom wall between the two through holes.

Electric junction box

In a wire harness installation structure, a main wire Wof a wire harness WH is installed in such a manner that it is fixed to a vehicle body panel, and an electric connection boxis connected to a branch wire Wbranching off from the main wire Wof the wire harness WH, and the electric connection boxis mounted in a predetermined receiving position within a vehicle body. The branch wire Wis installed along a bottom surfaceof the electric connection box, and is connected at its distal end S to a portion of the bottom surfaceof the electric connection boxwhich is spaced a distance, larger than the shortest distance between a branching position P of the branch wire Wand the electric connection box, from the branching position P.
