The additional segment of a wire harness which is required for opening/closing a slide door and constitutes a curved segment is housed in a protector The protector has curved walls guide rail slider and first and second harness outlets When the slide door is opened/closed, the wire harness shuttles to and fro within the second wire harness outlet The looseness of the wire harness when the slide door is opened/closed may be absorbed in such a manner that it is supported by an elastic member in a state where the wire harness has been curved within the protector without using the guide rail and slider The protecting member may be provided with a bending limiting portion, harness securing portion and flange or slanted sliding-contact portion which serve to slide the wire harness smoothly. In this configuration, it is possible to realize improvement of easiness of assembling, saving of the space and smooth operation of a power supply apparatus.
