A connection structure for a housing member and a protective tube, the connection structure includes: a wire-shaped transmission member; a housing member for housing a first portion which is a portion of the wire-shaped transmission member; and a protective tube for covering a second portion which is another portion of the wire-shaped transmission member. The housing member includes: a housing body portion for housing the first portion, and an extended portion that protrudes toward the second portion from the housing body portion, and an end portion of the protective tube covers the extended portion.

Connection structure for housing member and protective tube

A wiring member including: three or more electrical wire portions extending in different directions from a branching position; and a retaining member that is an elastic member and covers base end portions of the three or more electrical wire portions. The retaining member includes three or more cylindrical portions that are joined to each other at respective base end portions thereof, one or two adjacent cylindrical portions of the three or more cylindrical portions being a base cylindrical portion provided with a slit extending over the entire length thereof on one side, and the remaining cylindrical portion being a divided cylindrical portion provided with slits extending over the entire length thereof on two sides, and the retaining member is closed via a fixing member.

Wiring member and retaining member

A wire harness for connecting a vehicle body-side device and a wheel-side device includes: a first wiring member; and a second wiring member that has higher flex resistance than the first wiring member. A first outer path length of the first wiring member is defined by a length of a first outer path portion of the first wiring member. A second outer path length of the second wiring member is defined by a length of a second outer path portion of the second wiring member. The first outer path length of the first wiring member is greater than the second outer path length of the second wiring member.

An object of the present invention is to reduce the size of a connection structure for a housing member for housing a portion of a wire-shaped transmission member and a protective tube for covering the wire-shaped transmission member. A connection structure for a housing member and a protective tube includes a wire-shaped transmission member, a housing member for housing a first portion which is a portion of the wire-shaped transmission member, and a protective tube for covering a second portion which is another portion of the wire-shaped transmission member. The housing member includes a housing body portion for housing the first portion and an extended portion that protrudes toward the second portion from the housing body portion, and an end portion of the protective tube covers the extended portion.

It is an object to provide a wire harness for connecting a vehicle body-side device and a wheel-side device that can be routed in a small space appropriately, and can have an improved flex resistance. A wire harness for connecting a vehicle body-side device and a wheel-side device includes: a first wiring member; and a second wiring member that has higher flex resistance than the first wiring member. The first wiring member has an outer path length that is greater than an outer path length of the second wiring member.

It is an object to make a wire harness for connecting a vehicle body-side device and a wheel-side device suited to routing in a small space, and improve its flex resistance. A wire harness for connecting a vehicle body-side device and a wheel-side device includes: a first wiring member; and a second wiring member, and at least part of an outer path portion of the first wiring member, and at least part of an outer path portion of the second wiring member are separated from each other outside a vehicle body.

A wire cover disclosed by this specification is for covering a plurality of wires pulled out from a housing, and includes a cover body into which the plurality of wires pulled out from the housing are introduced from front and from which the plurality of wires are drawn out in a rightward direction, and a guiding portion provided on an inner surface of the cover body and configured to guide small-diameter wires arranged to have shorter in-cover lengths, out of the plurality of wires, than a large-diameter wire on a left side arranged to have a longest in-cover length from a wire introduction position PI where the wire is introduced into the cover body to a wire draw-out position PO where the wire is drawn out from the cover body, out of the plurality of wires to an extra length accommodation space provided in the cover body.
