Abstract
A device for absorbing harness slack is disclosed wherein a leaf spring (resilient member) is provided with a harness-guide member which supports a curved portion of a wire harness slidably. The harness-guide member has an upper surface (harness-support member) curved throughout its length toward the curved portion . Alternatively, the leaf spring may be provided with the curved harness-guide member rotatably through a coupling member . Also alternatively, a protector protecting the curved portion of the wire harness may be provided with the curved harness-guide member rotatably, and the leaf spring may urge the harness-guide member through such as a cap in a direction of absorbing harness slack slidably. Also alternatively, the upper surface may compose a groove curved in a circumferential direction of the wire harness.
