Abstract
An object is to prevent electric wires from being brought into contact with, and being damaged by, an edge of a rigid pipe of an electromagnetic shielding component, without need for an additional component such as a cover for an end portion of the pipe, despite the increased density of the electric wires within a hollow space in the pipe. A shielding pipe includes an expanded-diameter portion that is an end portion whose inner and outer circumferential surfaces each have a diameter that is greater than diameters of inner and outer circumferential surfaces of a portion that is contiguous with the expanded-diameter portion. A ring-shaped coupling member holds an overlapping portion of a flexible shielding member, the overlapping portion being sandwiched between the coupling member and the inner circumferential surface of the shielding pipe. The overlapping portion overlaps the inner circumferential surface of the expanded-diameter portion.
