There are provided a wire harness and a manufacturing method thereof which can reduce number of components and which does not require an electric wire to be formed longer than necessary. A wire harness includes an electric wire and a tubular corrugated tube made of synthetic resin and arranged to receive the electric wire to protect the electric wire. The corrugated tube is bent at an appropriate section when wired on an automobile. The corrugated tube includes recessed grooves and protrusions arranged alternately along a longitudinal direction. The adjacent protrusions of the appropriate section on the inward side are attached to each other by welding. The appropriate section is bent in a non-restorable fashion in a direction in which the appropriate section is bent when wired in the automobile.

Wire harness and method of manufacturing the same

There is provided a wire harness. The wire harness is wired in a predetermined wiring pattern with respect to an attached body. The wire harness is packaged by being held by a one-sided adhesive sheet so that the wiring pattern is kept. The one-sided adhesive sheet is formed into an external shape that fits a wiring course shape of the wire harness with respect to the attached body.

A mounting structure includes a resin member that includes a mounting portion having a mounting hole, and a reinforcing member that has a insertion hole through which a fastening member is inserted for mounting the resin member on a bearing surface of a mounting target member. A mounting surface of the resin member is inclined so that the axis direction of the insertion hole of the reinforcing member coincides with a fastening direction of the fastening member to the mounting target member. The mounting hole of the mounting portion has a polygonal shape.

Mounting structure

Herein disclosed is a protector-attached connector which includes a connector which accommodates terminals which are connected to ends of a group of electric wires, and a protector whose opening end is fitted to the rear end of the connector and which protects the group of electric wires which is derived from the rear of the connector, wherein a groove into which a binding band is mounted is formed at the opening end of the protector along a circumferential direction, a gap, which is formed when the opening end is fitted to the rear end of the connector, is provided at a part of the opening end in the circumferential direction along which the groove is formed, and the width of the gap is narrowed by a binding force of the binding band which is mounted into the groove.

Protector-attached connector

A wiring clipincludes: an attaching portionconfigured to be overlapped with a wiring harness; a locking portionextended vertically from the attaching portionand configured to be locked in a hole provided on a panel; and a pressing portionconfigured to press the panel in a direction away from the attaching portionwhen the locking portionis locked in the hole. The pressing portionincludes: an inclined portioncontinued to the attaching portionand inclined with respect to both a vertically extending direction of the locking portionfrom the attaching portionand a longitudinal direction of the wiring harness overlapped with the attaching portion; and a parallel portioncontinued to the inclined portionand extended parallel to the locking portionfrom the inclined portion. A surfaceaway from the panel of an intersecting portioncontinued to both the inclined portionand the parallel portionis disposed further away from the panel than a surfacenearest the panel of the attaching portion

Information with regard to each finished part model is transmitted from a part design terminalto an exclusive serverat each time of finishing each part model formed in steps for designing a part. Further, the information with regard to the each part model is acquired by making access to the exclusive serverfrom a die design terminal. Therefore, tasks with regard to designing the die can be progressed in parallel based on the acquired information without awaiting for finishing all of the respective part models for designing the die.
