Abstract
A protector includes a main body and a cover, which are a pair of T-shaped semi-annular sections formed by halving a T-shaped cylindrical body, and thin hinges connecting the main body and the cover. A setting jig is provided with a main body receiver including a main body receiving recess as an upper surface opening having a cross-sectionally arcuate shape and with a pressing wall projecting upward from one side end of the main body receiving recess. The cover of the protector in an open state is hooked and placed on the pressing wall; the main body is positioned and set above the main body receiving recess; and the T-shaped branch section of the wire harness is inserted into the main body and set into the main body receiving recess. Thereby, the cover is pressed by the pressing wall to rotate toward the main body; and locking hooks provided on the main body engage with locked portions provided on the cover, thus locking and closing the main body and the cover.
