Wire fitting and wire harness

Abstract

The invention relates to a wire fitting and a wire harness. The wire harness is provided, with which a wire fitting can be arranged in an irregular space that is three-dimensionally bent, and with which the number of man-hours for manufacturing the wire harness can be reduced. A wire fitting includes a base that is molded into an uneven plate shape and forms a wiring space, and a cover that is assembled to the base. The base includes a level wiring portion and a slanted wiring portion that extends along a plane that is slanted with respect to the plane along which the level wiring portion extends. The cover includes a level opposing wall portion opposing the level wiring portion and a slanted opposing wall portion that opposes the slanted wiring portion and extends along a plane that is slanted with respect to the plane along which the level wiring portion extends.

Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, the wire joints of JP2010-27242A all extend along a single plane, which causes the problem that it is not suitable for being arranged in a three-dimensionally curved irregular space in a car

That is, the wire joint of JP2010-27242A poses a problem requiring troublesome wire arrangement operations

[0016] On the other hand, although common conventional wire harnesses have a high degree of freedom with respect to their shapes, their manufacture requires large tools such as drawing boards, a large number of resin parts such as corrugated tubes, a large number of tools for fastening electric wires to the resin parts. Bonding parts, and the cumbersome operation of attaching many components to wires

[0017] As described above, conventional electric wire joints and wire harnesses have caused the following problems: they are not suitable for protecting the electric wires while maintaining the electric wires in an irregular three-dimensional state, or require a large number of components for their manufacture, troublesome for handling them operation, and expensive tools
