[0024] [Description of Embodiments of the Present Disclosure]

[0025] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described by way of examples.

[0026] The wiring component of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0027] (1) A wiring component, comprising: a wiring body including a linear transmission component and a sheet material for fixing the linear transmission component; a cover covering the wiring body; and a buffer component, wherein the linear transmission component includes a transmission line body and a coating layer covering the transmission line body, the cover being a component harder than the coating layer, and the buffer component being provided at at least one end of the cover and disposed between the linear transmission component and the cover. By providing the buffer component between the cover and the linear transmission component, the linear transmission component contacts the buffer component. Thus, the linear transmission component is prevented from contacting the edge of the cover, and the edge of the cover is prevented from damaging the linear transmission component.

[0028] (2) The buffer member may be a member softer than the cover. Thus, the buffer member which is less likely to damage the linear transmission member than the cover can be easily provided.

[0029] (3) The buffer member may be a member softer than the coating layer. This makes it more difficult for the buffer member to damage the linear transmission member.

[0030] (4) The buffer member may have a size along the width direction of the sheet material that allows the buffer member to contact the plurality of linear transmission members. This allows the plurality of linear transmission members to be easily covered.

[0031] (5) The buffer member may be provided by bending a portion of the sheet. Thus, even when the buffer member is provided, an increase in the number of parts can be suppressed.

[0032] (6) The cushioning member may be provided separately from the sheet material. This improves the degree of freedom in the properties of the cushioning member.

[0033] (7) The buffer member may be fixed to the linear transmission member. Thus, the buffer member is positioned on the linear transmission member.

[0034] (8) The buffer member may be fixed to the cover. Thus, the buffer member is positioned on the cover.

[0035] (9) The buffer member may be fixed to the sheet material at the side of the linear transmission member. Thus, the buffer member is positioned on the sheet material.

[0036] (10) The cushioning member and the object to be fixed may be fixed by bonding or hot-melt connection. Thus, the cushioning member and the object to be fixed can be fixed simply.

[0037] (11) The buffer member may include a portion overlapping with the edge of the cover and a portion extending from the edge of the cover. This makes it more difficult for the edge of the cover to contact the linear transmission member.

[0038] (12) The buffer member may be formed of nonwoven fabric, thereby making it more difficult for the buffer member to damage the linear transmission member.

[0039] (13) The cover may include a first cover that covers only a portion of the sheet along the length direction, one end of the first cover is located in the middle of the sheet along the length direction, and the buffer component is provided at the edge of the one end of the first cover. Thus, the linear transmission component is protected from the edge of the cover at the middle of the sheet.

[0040] (14) The cover may include a second cover spaced apart from the first cover along the length direction of the sheet, and the buffer member may be provided across one end of the first cover and one end of the second cover. Thus, a portion of the linear transmission member located between the first cover and the second cover is protected by the buffer member.

[0041] [Details of the embodiments of the present disclosure]

[0042] Hereinafter, specific examples of the wiring component of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited to these examples, but is indicated by the claims, and is intended to include all changes within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.

[0043] [Implementation Method 1]

[0044] Hereinafter, the wiring component according to the first embodiment will be described. Figure 1 It is a plan view showing the wiring member 10 according to the first embodiment. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An enlarged top view of an area A1 in FIG. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A front view of an area A1 in FIG. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 Schematic cross-sectional view of area A2 in FIG.

[0045] The wiring component 10 includes a wiring body 12 , a cover 40 , and a buffer member 50 .

[0046] The wiring body 12 includes a linear transmission component 20 and a sheet 30. The linear transmission component 20 includes at least one. Here, a plurality of linear transmission components 20 are included. Each linear transmission component 20 is a linear component that transmits electricity or light. The sheet 30 is formed into a flat shape as a whole. By fixing the plurality of linear transmission components 20 to the sheet 30, the wiring body 12 is kept in a flat shape. Figure 2 In the example shown, a plurality of linear transmission members 20 having the same diameter and structure are arranged on one sheet 30. However, the diameter and structure of the plurality of linear transmission members 20 may be appropriately set, and linear transmission members 20 having different diameters and structures may be arranged on the same sheet 30.

[0047] The plurality of linear transmission components 20 are assumed to be components for connecting parts in a vehicle. A connector C, for example, is provided at the end of the linear transmission component 20. The linear transmission component 20 is connected to the counterpart component by connecting the connector C to a connector provided on the counterpart component. That is, the wiring component 10 is used as a wiring component 10 for connecting various components to each other electrically (or in a manner that enables optical communication) in a vehicle or the like. The connector C may also be fixed to the sheet 30.

[0048] The paths of the plurality of linear transmission components 20 are set according to the positions of the components as the connection destinations, etc. By fixing the plurality of linear transmission components 20 to the sheet 30, the plurality of linear transmission components 20 are maintained along the wiring paths corresponding to the positions of the components as the respective connection destinations, etc. The plurality of linear transmission components 20 may be fixed to the sheet 30 in such a manner that the branch line portion branches off from the main line portion. The sheet 30 may be formed in a shape in which the portion to which the branch line portion is fixed branches off from the portion to which the main line portion is fixed.

[0049] The linear transmission component 20 includes a transmission line body 22 and a coating layer 24. The transmission line body 22 transmits electricity or light, etc. The coating layer 24 covers the transmission line body 22. For example, the linear transmission component 20 may be a general electric wire having a core wire and a coating layer around the core wire, or may be a shielded wire, a twisted wire, an enameled wire, a nichrome wire, an optical fiber, etc.

[0050] The power transmission linear transmission means 20 may be various signal lines or various power lines. A part of the power transmission linear transmission means 20 may be used as an antenna or a coil for transmitting or receiving signals or power to or from space.

[0051] Furthermore, the linear transmission member 20 may be a single linear object or a composite of a plurality of linear objects (a twisted wire, a cable in which a plurality of linear objects are assembled and covered with a sheath, etc.).

[0052] The linear transmission component 20 is fixed on the sheet 30. The sheet 30 may also be a resin sheet. For example, the sheet 30 may also be formed of a resin such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc. The sheet 30 may also be a sheet having a uniform and solid cross-section. Furthermore, the sheet 30 may also be a fiber material such as a knitted fabric, a woven fabric, or a non-woven fabric. Furthermore, the sheet 30 may also be a foamed sheet, etc. Furthermore, the sheet 30 may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. Furthermore, the sheet 30 may also have a metal layer.

[0053] The linear transmission component 20 only needs to be fixed to the sheet 30, and the fixing structure of the linear transmission component 20 relative to the sheet 30 is not particularly limited. As the fixing scheme, it can be fixed at the contact part, fixed at the non-contact part, or both. Here, the contact part fixing refers to a method in which the contact part of the linear transmission component 20 and the sheet 30 is tightly fixed. And, the non-contact part fixing refers to a fixing method other than the contact part fixing, such as a method of pressing the linear transmission component 20 toward the sheet 30 by sewing thread, a cover, an adhesive tape, etc., or clamping the linear transmission component 20 and the sheet 30 and maintaining this state. In the following, the description is made assuming that the linear transmission component 20 and the sheet 30 are in a state of being fixed at the contact part.

[0054] As the method of fixing the contact part, it can be indirect fixing of the contact part or direct fixing of the contact part, and both can be used in different regions. Here, indirect fixing of the contact part refers to a method in which the linear transmission component 20 and the sheet 30 are indirectly fixed in close contact via an adhesive, a bonding agent, a double-sided adhesive tape, etc. provided therebetween. And, direct fixing of the contact part refers to a method in which the linear transmission component 20 and the sheet 30 are directly fixed in close contact without using an adhesive or the like provided separately. In direct fixing of the contact part, for example, it is considered that the linear transmission component 20 and the sheet 30 are fixed in close contact by melting a resin contained in at least one of the linear transmission component 20 and the sheet 30.

[0055] When the contact parts are directly fixed, the resin may be melted by heat or dissolved by a solvent. That is, the contact parts may be directly fixed by heat or by a solvent. Preferably, the contact parts are directly fixed by heat.

[0056] At this time, the means for forming the state where the contact parts are directly fixed are not particularly limited, and known means such as welding, heat fusion connection, and welding can be used. For example, in the case of forming the state where the contact parts are directly fixed by heat by welding, various welding means such as ultrasonic welding, heat and pressure welding, hot air welding, and high-frequency welding can be used. And, when the state where the contact parts are directly fixed is formed by these means, the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet material 30 are formed in the state where the contact parts are directly fixed by the means. Specifically, for example, when the state where the contact parts are directly fixed is formed by ultrasonic welding, the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet material 30 are formed in the state where the contact parts are directly fixed by ultrasonic welding.

[0057] Hereinafter, the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet 30 will be described in a state where the contact portions are directly fixed.

[0058] The plurality of linear transmission members 20 may be fixed to the sheet 30 at a plurality of locations spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. The plurality of linear transmission members 20 may also be fixed to the sheet 30 in series as a whole in the longitudinal direction.

[0059] The cover 40 covers the wiring body 12. Here, the cover 40 covers the linear transmission member 20 fixed to the sheet 30 from the side opposite to the sheet 30. The cover 40 may be provided so as to cover the back side of the sheet 30. The cover 40 is a member harder than the coating layer 24.

[0060] The cover 40 may overlap the sheet 30 as a whole or partially. The cover 40 may be formed of the same material as the sheet 30 or of a different material. The cover 40 may also be a resin sheet. For example, the cover 40 may be formed of a resin such as PVC, PE, PP, or PET as the sheet 30. One of the sheet 30 and the cover 40 may be softer than the other. The softness here, or in other words, the hardness, is evaluated by Rockwell hardness. For example, the cover 40 may be formed of a material such as hard PVC, nylon, PET, or PP, and the sheet 30 may be a soft component formed by laminating a sheet component formed of soft PVC and a non-woven fabric formed of PET. For example, the sheet 30 may also have flexibility that can follow the bending of the linear transmission component 20. That is, the wiring body 12 may also be able to bend in the width direction (the kind of bending where the fold line is along the main surface of the sheet 30). In addition, the cover 40 may also be able to limit the bending of the wiring body 12.

[0061] The cover 40 includes a plurality of partial covers 42 and 44. Each partial cover 42 and 44 covers only a portion of the sheet 30 along the length direction. Each partial cover 42 and 44 covers a different area of ​​the sheet 30. The two partial covers 42 and 44 are arranged at intervals from each other along the length direction of the sheet 30. One of the two partial covers 42 and 44 is a first cover, and the other is a second cover.

[0062] The cover 40 is fixed to the sheet 30, for example, at the side of the linear transmission member 20. As for the fixing structure of the sheet 30 and the cover 40, one of the fixing structures described in the fixing structure of the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet 30 can be adopted. For example, the fixing structure of the sheet 30 and the cover 40 may be fixing at the contact part, or may be any one of direct fixing at the contact part and indirect fixing at the contact part. The fixing structure of the sheet 30 and the cover 40 may be the same as or different from the fixing structure of the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet 30.

[0063] The buffer member 50 is provided between the linear transmission member 20 and the cover 40 at at least one end of the cover 40. Here, the buffer member 50 is provided between the linear transmission member 20 and the cover 40 at a portion of the edge 41 of the cover 40 that is not covered by the sheet 30. Figure 1 The regions A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 are provided with buffer members 50. It should be noted that, hereinafter, when it is necessary to distinguish the buffer members 50 provided in the regions A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5, they may be referred to as buffer members 50A1, 50A2, 50A3, 50A4, and 50A5.

[0064] The region A1 is a region along the length direction of the sheet 30 where the end of the cover 40 (partial covers 42, 44) coincides with the end of the sheet 30. Here, the coincidence of the end of the cover 40 and the end of the sheet 30 means, for example, that one of the end edge of the cover 40 and the end edge of the sheet 30 is within 20 mm of the other along the length direction. The buffer member 50A1 is provided at the end of the sheet 30.

[0065] Area A2 is an area where the ends of the partial covers 42 and 44 are located in the middle of the sheet 30 along the length direction. Area A2 is an area where the ends of the covers 40 (partial covers 42 and 44) ​​and the ends of the sheet 30 are inconsistent along the length direction of the sheet 30. Area A2 is an area where another partial cover 44 is provided next to a partial cover 42. In area A2, the two partial covers 42 and 44 are provided at intervals, but the two partial covers 42 and 44 may also be provided without intervals. The buffer component 50A2 is provided at the ends of the partial covers 42 and 44 that are located in the middle of the sheet 30 along the length direction. The buffer component 50A2 is provided across the two ends of the two partial covers 42 and 44.

[0066] The region A3 is also a region where the end of the partial cover 42 is located in the middle of the sheet 30 along the length direction. The region A3 is a region where another partial cover 44 is not provided next to one partial cover 42. The linear transmission member 20 is exposed at a position closer to the end of the sheet 30 than the region A3. The buffer member 50A3 is provided at the end of the partial cover 42 located in the middle of the sheet 30 along the length direction.

[0067] The area A4 is located at the branching portion. In the area A4, the sheet 30 is formed into a branching shape, whereas the partial cover 44 is not formed into a branching shape. In the area A4, the side edge of the partial cover 44 covers the linear transmission member 20. The buffer member 50A4 is provided at the middle portion of the sheet 30 and at the side edge of the partial cover 44.

[0068] Region A5 is also located at the branching portion. In region A5, the sheet 30 and the partial cover 42 are not formed into a branching shape. In region A5, the side edge of the sheet 30 and the side edge of the partial cover 44 cover the linear transmission member 20. The buffer member 50A5 is provided in the middle portion of the sheet 30 and the side edge of the partial cover 42.

[0069] The buffer member 50 may be a member that is less likely to damage the linear transmission member 20 than the cover 40. For example, from the perspective of physical properties, the buffer member 50 is a member that is softer than the cover 40 and is less likely to damage the linear transmission member 20 than the cover 40. The softness here can be evaluated by, for example, Rockwell hardness as described above. In addition, the buffer member 50 is a member that is softer than the coating layer 24. The buffer member 50 may be a member that is as soft as the coating layer 24 or a member that is harder than the coating layer 24.

[0070] The cushioning component 50 is provided separately from the sheet 30. For example, the cushioning component 50 may be formed into a sheet shape by a resin such as PVC, PE, PP, or PET, as in the sheet 30. The cushioning component 50 may also have a uniform and solid cross section. The cushioning component 50 may also be a fiber material or a foamed sheet. In the following, it is assumed that the cushioning component 50 is formed of a nonwoven fabric and described.

[0071] The buffer member 50 includes a first portion 52 and a second portion 54. The first portion 52 is a portion overlapping the edge 41 of the cover 40. The first portion 52 is a portion sandwiched between the linear transmission member 20 and the cover 40. The second portion 54 is a portion extending from the edge 41 of the cover 40. Thus, the buffer member 50 is arranged so as to straddle the edge 41 of the cover 40.

[0072] The buffer member 50 has a size along the width direction of the sheet 30 that can contact the plurality of linear transmission members 20. Here, the buffer member 50 crosses the plurality of linear transmission members 20. The buffer member 50 is formed to have a size equal to or longer than the interval between the two linear transmission members 20 located at the outermost sides along the width direction at the edge 41 where the buffer member 50 is provided. Here, the buffer member 50 is formed to have a size shorter than the sheet 30 and the cover 40.

[0073] The buffer member 50 is fixed to the sheet 30 at the side of the linear transmission member 20. Figure 3 As shown, the buffer member 50 is provided inside the fixed portion FP1 of the sheet 30 and the cover 40 is provided inside the fixed portion FP2 of the sheet 30 in the width direction. The portion of the first portion 52 located on the side of the linear transmission member 20 is fixed to the sheet 30. The second portion 54 is not fixed to any of the linear transmission member 20, the sheet 30 and the cover 40. The second portion 54 is supported by the first portion 52 in a cantilevered manner.

[0074] Regarding the fixing structure of the buffer component 50 and the fixing object (here, the sheet 30), one of the fixing structures described in the fixing structure of the linear transmission component 20 and the sheet 30 can be adopted. For example, the fixing structure of the buffer component 50 and the fixing object (here, the sheet 30) can be either fixing at the contact part, or directly fixing at the contact part, or indirectly fixing at the contact part. The fixing structure of the buffer component 50 and the fixing object (here, the sheet 30) can be the same as or different from the fixing structure of the linear transmission component 20 and the sheet 30. Similarly, the fixing structure of the buffer component 50 and the fixing object (here, the sheet 30) can be the same as or different from the fixing structure of the sheet 30 and the cover 40. In the following, it is assumed that the buffer component 50 and the fixing object (here, the sheet 30) are fixed by bonding (indirect fixing at the contact part) or hot melt connection (direct fixing at the contact part) and the description is given.

[0075] The buffer member 50 is not fixed to the linear transmission member 20 and the cover 40 by adhesive bonding or thermal fusion bonding. The buffer member 50 may be fixed to at least one of the linear transmission member 20 and the cover 40 by adhesive bonding or thermal fusion bonding in addition to the sheet 30.

[0076] <Effects of Implementation Method 1, etc.>

[0077] According to the wiring member 10 configured as above, the buffer member 50 is provided between the cover 40 and the linear transmission member 20, so that the linear transmission member 20 contacts the buffer member 50. This prevents the linear transmission member 20 from contacting the edge of the cover 40, thereby preventing the edge of the cover 40 from scratching the linear transmission member 20.

[0078] Furthermore, the buffer member 50 is softer than the cover 40 and is therefore less likely to damage the linear transmission member 20 than the cover 40. Furthermore, the buffer member 50 is softer than the coating layer 24 and is therefore less likely to damage the linear transmission member 20.

[0079] Furthermore, since the buffer member 50 has a size that allows it to contact the plurality of linear transmission members 20 along the width direction of the sheet 30 , the plurality of linear transmission members 20 can be easily covered.

[0080] Furthermore, since the cushioning member 50 and the sheet 30 are provided separately, the degree of freedom of the properties and the like of the cushioning member 50 is improved.

[0081] Furthermore, since the buffer member 50 is fixed to the sheet 30 on the side of the linear transmission member 20 , the buffer member 50 is positioned on the sheet 30 .

[0082] Furthermore, since the cushioning member 50 and the fixing target (here, the sheet 30 ) are fixed by bonding or heat-fusion connection, the cushioning member 50 and the fixing target (here, the sheet 30 ) can be easily fixed.

[0083] Furthermore, since the buffer member 50 includes a portion overlapping with the edge 41 of the cover 40 and a portion extending from the edge 41 of the cover 40 , the edge 41 of the cover 40 is less likely to come into contact with the linear transmission member 20 .

[0084] Furthermore, since the buffer member 50 is formed of nonwoven fabric, it is more difficult for the buffer member 50 to damage the linear transmission member 20 .

[0085] Since the buffer members 50A2 and 50A3 are provided at one end portions of the partial covers 42 and 44 , the linear transmission member 20 is protected from the edge portions 41 of the partial covers 42 and 44 at the middle portion of the sheet 30 .

[0086] Since the buffer member 50A2 is provided across both ends of the two partial covers 42 and 44 , the portion of the linear transmission member 20 located between the two partial covers 42 and 44 is protected by the buffer member 50A2 .

[0087] [Implementation Method 2]

[0088] The wiring component according to the second embodiment will be described. Figure 5 It is a plan view showing the wiring member 110 according to the second embodiment. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 It should be noted that in the description of this embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those described above, and the description thereof is omitted.

[0089] The wiring member 110 is different from the wiring member 10 in that a buffer member 150 is fixed to the cover 40. The buffer member 150 is provided in the area A1. The structure of the buffer member 150 can also be applied to the buffer members 50 provided in the other areas A2, A3, A4, and A5.

[0090] Specifically, the buffer member 150 also includes a first portion 152 and a second portion 154. The first portion 152 is fixed to the inner surface of the cover 40 (the surface on the linear transmission member 20 side). The second portion 154 is folded back and a portion overlaps with the outer surface of the cover 40. The portion of the second portion 154 that overlaps with the outer surface of the cover 40 is fixed to the outer surface of the cover 40. Figure 6 As shown, the fixing portion FP4 of the cover 40 to the second portion 154 is located on the rear side of the fixing portion FP3 to the first portion 152 .

[0091] The portions of the first portion 152 and the second portion 154 that overlap with the outer surface of the cover 40 have the same size along the length direction of the sheet. The portions of the first portion 152 and the second portion 154 that overlap with the outer surface of the cover 40 may also be set so that one is longer than the other along the length direction of the sheet. The portions of the first portion 152 and the second portion 154 that overlap with the outer surface of the cover 40 have the same size along the width direction of the sheet. The portions of the first portion 152 and the second portion 154 that overlap with the outer surface of the cover 40 may also be set so that one is longer than the other along the width direction of the sheet.

[0092] The fixing structure of the buffer component 150 and the fixing object (here, the cover 40) is an adhesive or hot-melt connection. Of course, the fixing structure of the buffer component 150 and the fixing object (here, the cover 40) can also adopt the other fixing structures mentioned above. In addition, the fixing structure with the fixing object (here, the cover 40) in the first part 152 and the fixing structure with the fixing object (here, the cover 40) in the second part 154 can be the same or different.

[0093] The buffer member 150 is not fixed to the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet 30 by adhesive or thermal fusion. The buffer member 150 may be fixed to at least one of the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet 30 by adhesive or thermal fusion in addition to the cover 40.

[0094] According to such wiring component 110, buffer component 150 is fixed to cover 40, so buffer component 150 is positioned in cover 40. Also, buffer component 150 can be fixed to cover 40 before cover 40 is fixed to sheet 30. That is, cover 40 with buffer component 150 can be fixed to sheet 30. Also, second portion 154 is fixed to the outer surface of cover 40, so edge 41 of cover 40 is covered by buffer component 150.

[0095] [Implementation method 3]

[0096] The wiring component according to the third embodiment will be described. Figure 7 It is a plan view showing the wiring member 210 according to the third embodiment. Figure 8 It is a front view showing the wiring member 210 of Embodiment 3. In the description of this embodiment, the same components as the components described so far are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

[0097] The wiring member 210 is different from the wiring members 10 and 110 in that a buffer member 250 is fixed to the linear transmission member 20. The buffer member 250 is provided in the area A1. The structure of the buffer member 250 can also be applied to the buffer members 50 provided in the other areas A2, A3, A4, and A5.

[0098] The buffer member 250 is provided individually in the plurality of linear transmission members 20. Each buffer member 250 is formed to a size corresponding to each linear transmission member 20. The buffer member 250 also has a first portion 252 and a second portion 254. Both the first portion 252 and the second portion 254 in the buffer member 250 are fixed to the linear transmission member 20. However, only one of the first portion 252 and the second portion 254 may be fixed to the linear transmission member 20.

[0099] The fixing portion FP5 of the buffer member 250 and the linear transmission member 20 may extend along the periphery of the linear transmission member 20. Figure 8 In the example shown, the fixing portion FP5 is set along about half the circumference of the linear transmission member 20. Of course, the buffer member 250 and the linear transmission member 20 may be fixed along the circumference of the linear transmission member 20 in a smaller area or a larger area.

[0100] The fixing structure of the buffer member 250 and the fixing object (here, the linear transmission member 20) may be adhesive or hot-melt connection, or other fixing structures mentioned above. In addition, the fixing structure of the first part 252 and the fixing structure of the second part 254 and the fixing object (here, the linear transmission member 20) may be the same or different.

[0101] The buffer member 250 is not fixed to the sheet 30 and the cover 40 by adhesive bonding or thermal fusion bonding. The buffer member 250 may be fixed to at least one of the sheet 30 and the cover 40 in addition to the linear transmission member 20 by adhesive bonding or thermal fusion bonding.

[0102] According to such a wiring member 210 , the buffer member 250 is fixed to the linear transmission member 20 , and thus the buffer member 250 is positioned with respect to the linear transmission member 20 .

[0103] [Implementation Method 4]

[0104] The wiring component according to the fourth embodiment will be described. Fig. 9 It is a front view showing the wiring member 310 according to the fourth embodiment. Fig.10 It is an exploded plan view showing the wiring member 310 according to Embodiment 4. In the description of this embodiment, the same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

[0105] The wiring member 310 of this example is different from the wiring members 10, 110, and 210 described above in that a buffer member 350 is provided by bending a portion of the sheet 30. The buffer member 350 is provided in the region A1. The structure of the buffer member 350 can also be applied to the buffer members 50 provided in the other regions A2, A3, A4, and A5.

[0106] Specifically, if Fig.10 As shown, a substrate B1 is prepared. The substrate B1 has a sheet portion B1a and a buffer component portion B1b. The sheet portion B1a is a portion that serves as the sheet 30. The linear transmission component 20 is fixed to the sheet portion B1a. The buffer component portion B1b is a portion that serves as the buffer component 350. The buffer component portion B1b is connected to the sheet portion B1a. The buffer component portion B1b is overlapped with the linear transmission component 20 by being bent. Here, the bent buffer component portion B1b also overlaps with the sheet portion B1a. Fig.10 In the example shown, the cushioning member portion B1b is connected to the sheet portion B1a in the width direction. In this case, the folding line L when the cushioning member portion B1b is folded extends along the longitudinal direction of the sheet portion B1a.

[0107] The end portion where the sheet 30 and the buffer component 350 are connected at the respective ends of the sheet 30 and the buffer component 350 is called the base end portion. In addition, the end portion where the sheet 30 and the buffer component 350 are not connected at the respective ends of the sheet 30 and the buffer component 350, that is, the end portion on the side opposite to the base end portion is called the front end portion. The sheet 30 and the buffer component 350 may fix at least the front end portions to each other among the base end portions and the front end portions to each other. The sheet 30 and the buffer component 50 may also fix the base end portions to each other.

[0108] Here, the cushioning member 350 covers the entire sheet 30 in the width direction. Therefore, the cover 40 is fixed to the cushioning member 350 at the portion where the cushioning member 350 is provided. The cushioning member 350 is fixed to the sheet 30 and the cover 40 at the same position in the width direction of the sheet 30. Fig. 9 As shown, the fixing portion FP7 of the cover 40 and the buffer component 350 is located above the fixing portion FP6 of the sheet 30 and the buffer component 350. The fixing structure of the buffer component 350 and the fixing object (here, the sheet 30 and the cover 40) is an adhesive or hot-melt connection. The fixing structure of the buffer component 350 and the fixing object (here, the sheet 30 and the cover 40) can also adopt the other fixing structures mentioned above. The fixing structure of the buffer component 350 and the sheet 30 and the fixing structure of the buffer component and the cover 40 can be the same or different.

[0109] Through Fig.10As shown, the cover 40 overlaps the cushioning member 350 at a position slightly offset to the rear, and the first portion and the second portion are provided in the cushioning member 350 .

[0110] According to such a wiring member 310 , the buffer member 350 is provided by bending a part of the sheet 30 . Therefore, even when the buffer member 350 is provided, an increase in the number of components can be suppressed.

[0111] [Modifications]

[0112] Fig.11 It is an exploded plan view showing a modification of the wiring member 310 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0113] In the wiring member 410 of the modification, the buffer member portion B2b and the sheet portion B2a are connected in the longitudinal direction of the base material B2. In this case, the folding line L when the buffer member portion B2b is folded extends in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the sheet portion B2a.

[0114] The buffer member portion B2b is connected to only one of the two ends of the sheet portion B2a in the width direction. Therefore, the buffer member portion B2b can be easily arranged on the opposite side of the sheet portion B2a with respect to the linear transmission member 20.

[0115] It should be noted that in Fig.11 In the example shown, the shape is formed by cutting off a portion between the buffer component portion B2b and the sheet portion B2a in the base material B2. More specifically, the side portion of the connecting portion connecting the buffer component portion B2b and the sheet portion B2a is cut off. A slit may also be formed on the side of the connecting portion connecting the buffer component portion B2b and the sheet portion B2a.

[0116] The buffer member 450 formed by bending the buffer member portion B2b can be fixed to the sheet at positions on both sides of the linear transmission member 20. The width dimension of the buffer member 450 can also be as follows: Figure 3 As in the example shown, it is smaller than the width dimension of the sheet 30 and the cover 40.

[0117] It should be noted that in Fig.11 In the illustrated base material B2, the cover 40 may be disposed on the buffer material portion B2b without bending the buffer material portion B2b.

[0118] In addition, it has been described so far that the buffer member is softer than the cover 40 and is less likely to damage the linear transmission member 20 than the cover 40, but this is not necessarily a configuration. There may be a case where the buffer member has the same hardness as the cover 40 or is harder than the cover 40. In this case, for example, the edge of the buffer member may be rounded from the perspective of shape so that the edge of the buffer member does not contact the linear transmission member 20, thereby making the buffer member less likely to damage the linear transmission member 20 than the cover 40.

[0119] Furthermore, it is described that the cover 40 includes a plurality of partial covers 42 and 44, but this is not a necessary structure. The cover may also include only one partial cover. In other words, one cover may cover the wiring body 12 in an area smaller than the sheet 30. The cover may also cover the wiring body 12 in an area equal to or larger than the sheet 30.

[0120] Furthermore, although the buffer member includes the first portion overlapping the edge 41 of the cover 40 and the second portion extending from the edge 41 of the cover 40, this is not necessarily the case. The second portion extending from the edge 41 of the cover 40 may be omitted.

[0121] Furthermore, the buffer member may be an adhesive tape wound around the linear transmission member 20. Furthermore, the buffer member may be a tubular member such as a bellows that accommodates the linear transmission member 20 inside.

[0122] It should be noted that the structures described in the above embodiments and modifications can be appropriately combined as long as they do not contradict each other. For example, the buffer components 50, 150, 350, and 450 can also be formed to a size corresponding to the linear transmission component 20 like the buffer component 250, and the buffer component 250 can also be formed to a size that can cover a plurality of linear transmission components 20 like the buffer components 50, 150, 350, and 450.
