A protector includes a case main body and a cover member. The cover member includes the cover main body part, the first cover part, and the second cover part. The first cover part and the second cover part are at the positions overlapping with each other in the longitudinal direction when viewed from the lateral direction of the cover main body part, and form an insertion space for passing a third extension part of a wiring material WH through in the lateral direction when viewed from the orthogonal direction of the cover main body part. The first cover part includes a movable part that is movable in the orthogonal direction with respect to the cover main body part when viewed from the lateral direction of the cover main body part, and a hinge part that rotatably connects the cover main body part and the movable part.

Protector

A wire harness installation structure includes a wire harness, a protector, and a bending motion mechanism that causes the wire harness to make a bending movement. The wire harness has a first portion that is fixed to the protector, a second portion that is distant from both of the first portion and the protector beyond a bending position of the wire harness, and a third portion that is located between the first portion and the second portion. The second portion and the third portion of the wire harness are fixed on a movable member of the bending motion mechanism, and the wire harness is routed so that a second excess length between the second portion and the third portion is shorter than a first excess length between the first portion and the third portion.
