Abstract
A wire harnesshas a sheathing materialthat is flexible and covers wires, a path-regulating memberfor regulating a path along which the wiresare arranged from outside of the sheathing material, the path-regulating memberhaving an axial direction parallel to the path along which the wiresare arranged, and an intermediate clamp. The intermediate clamphas a support portionfor supporting the path-regulating member, and an attachment portionwith a ring-shaped structure for attaching the sheathing material. The attachment portionhas an insertion portionthat enables the sheathing materialto be inserted therefrom in a radial direction of the ring-shaped structure. The attachment portioncan be changed between an open orientation that enables the sheathing material to be inserted from the insertion portion, and a closed orientation that makes the ring-shaped structure into a continuous ring shape. The closed orientation is formed by locking structures, which include a first locking structureand a second locking structurethat are arranged separately from each other in the axial direction of the ring-shaped structure.
