Abstract
A harness slack absorbing apparatus includes a resilient member a harness support member attached to a distal end portion of the resilient member, and a wire harness supported by the harness support member and pushed upward by resilience of the resilient member thereby to absorb a slack of the wire harness. The harness support member includes a recess having a curved shape in cross section, in which the wire harness is held. The harness support member may be provided at its distal end with a curved or inclined face which is continued from the recess in a shape along a bending direction of the wire harness. The recess may have a depth at least larger than a radius of the wire harness. The harness support member may be composed of a support member body and a lid respectively having recesses adapted to be joined together to form a harness insertion bore, so that the wire harness can be held by the member body and the lid along an entire circumference thereof. The harness support member includes an insertion slit for the resilient member and locking means.
