Detailed Embodiments

[0009] [Description of Embodiments of the Present Disclosure] First, embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described. [1]The path limiting component of the present disclosure limits the path of the wire component. The path limiting component includes a bending component and a limiting component. The bending component includes a first holding portion that holds the wire component and has a bending portion, a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, a third connecting portion having the same structure as the first connecting portion, and a fourth connecting portion having the same structure as the second connecting portion. The limiting component has a second holding portion that holds the wire component, a fifth connecting portion connected to the second connecting portion, and a sixth connecting portion connected to the first connecting portion. The first holding portion has a first bottom wall and first and second side walls protruding from both side edges of the first bottom wall. The bending component has a first end portion and a second end portion in the axial direction of the bending component. The first connecting portion is provided at the first end portion of the first side wall. The second connecting portion is provided at the first end portion of the second side wall. The third connecting portion is provided at the second end portion of the second side wall. The fourth connecting portion is provided at the second end portion of the first side wall.

[0010] According to this structure, at the first end portion of the bending component, the first connecting portion is provided on the first side wall, and the second connecting portion is provided on the second side wall. On the other hand, at the second end portion of the bending component, the third connecting portion having the same structure as the first connecting portion is provided on the second side wall, and the fourth connecting portion having the same structure as the second connecting portion is provided on the first side wall. Thus, the third connecting portion and the fourth connecting portion at the second end portion of the bending component are formed into a structure in which the structures of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion at the first end portion of the bending component are rotated by 180°. Therefore, the limiting component can be connected to the first end portion of the bending component and also to the second end portion of the bending component. That is, the limiting component can be connected to both the first end portion and the second end portion of the bending component. Thereby, by appropriately changing the connection direction of the limiting component with respect to the bending component in accordance with the path of the wire component, the bending component with the same structure and the limiting component with the same structure can be shared in two or more bending paths. Therefore, compared with the prior art that requires preparing path limiting components with different shapes for each bending path, the versatility of the path limiting component can be improved.

[0011] [2]Based on the above [1], it can also be that the restricting component includes a fifth connecting portion having the same structure as the first connecting portion, a sixth connecting portion having the same structure as the second connecting portion, a seventh connecting portion having the same structure as the fifth connecting portion, and an eighth connecting portion having the same structure as the sixth connecting portion. The second holding portion has a second bottom wall, and a third side wall and a fourth side wall protruding from both side edges of the second bottom wall. The second holding portion has a third end portion and a fourth end portion in the axial direction of the second holding portion. The fifth connecting portion is provided at the third end portion of the third side wall, the sixth connecting portion is provided at the third end portion of the fourth side wall, the seventh connecting portion is provided at the fourth end portion of the fourth side wall, and the eighth connecting portion is provided at the fourth end portion of the third side wall.

[0012] According to this structure, at the third end portion of the restricting component, the fifth connecting portion is provided on the third side wall, and the sixth connecting portion is provided on the fourth side wall. On the other hand, at the fourth end portion of the restricting component, the seventh connecting portion having the same structure as the fifth connecting portion is provided on the fourth side wall, and the eighth connecting portion having the same structure as the sixth connecting portion is provided on the third side wall. In this way, the structures of the seventh connecting portion and the eighth connecting portion at the fourth end portion of the restricting component are formed to be the structures in which the structures of the fifth connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion at the third end portion of the restricting component are rotated by 180°. Therefore, the bending component can be connected to both the third end portion and the fourth end portion of the restricting component. Thus, by appropriately changing the connecting direction of the bending component with respect to the restricting component in accordance with the path of the wire component, the bending component with the same structure and the restricting component with the same structure can be shared in two or more bending paths. Therefore, the versatility of the path restricting component can be improved.

[0013] [3]Based on the above [1] or [2], it can also be that the first connecting portion is engaged with the sixth connecting portion in the axial direction of the path restricting component, and the second connecting portion is engaged with the fifth connecting portion in the axial direction of the path restricting component.

[0014] According to this structure, in the state where the first connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion are connected, the first connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion are engaged with each other in the axial direction of the path restricting component. In addition, in the state where the second connecting portion and the fifth connecting portion are connected, the second connecting portion and the fifth connecting portion are engaged with each other in the axial direction of the path restricting component. In summary, the relative movement of the restricting component with respect to the bending component in the axial direction of the path restricting component can be appropriately suppressed.

[0015] [4]Based on the above [3], it can also be that the first connecting portion has a protruding portion protruding from the first end portion of the first side wall along the axial direction of the first holding portion and an engaging protrusion protruding from the top end of the protruding portion along the height direction of the first side wall. The sixth connecting portion has a first concave portion for fitting the protruding portion and a second concave portion for fitting the engaging protrusion. The side surface of the engaging protrusion is engaged with the inner side surface of the second concave portion in the axial direction of the path restricting member.

[0016] According to this structure, in the state where the first connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion are connected, the side surface of the engaging protrusion of the first connecting portion and the inner side surface of the second concave portion of the sixth connecting portion are engaged with each other in the axial direction of the path restricting member. Thus, it is possible to appropriately suppress the relative movement of the restricting member with respect to the bent member in the axial direction of the path restricting member.

[0017] [5]Based on the above [4], it can also be that the first side wall and the second side wall are each formed in a plate shape, and the length dimension of the engaging protrusion in the axial direction of the path restricting member is larger than the length dimension of the first side wall in the plate thickness direction of the first side wall.

[0018] According to this structure, the length dimension of the engaging protrusion in the axial direction of the path restricting member, that is, the length dimension of the engaging protrusion in the direction of engagement with the inner side surface of the second concave portion, is formed to be larger. Therefore, for example, even when an external force that presses the side surface of the engaging protrusion and the inner side surface of the second concave portion together is applied to the path restricting member in the above axial direction from a wire member or the like, it is possible to appropriately suppress damage to the engaging protrusion due to this external force.

[0019] [6]Based on any one of the above [1] to [5], it can also be that in a plan view observed from the height direction of the first side wall, the bent member has a first engaging portion provided at a position overlapping the first connecting portion, a second engaging portion provided at a position overlapping the second connecting portion, a third engaging portion provided at a position overlapping the third connecting portion, and a fourth engaging portion provided at a position overlapping the fourth connecting portion. The restricting member has a fifth engaging portion engaged with the second engaging portion in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member and a sixth engaging portion engaged with the first engaging portion in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member. The third engaging portion and the fifth engaging portion each have the same structure as the first engaging portion, and the fourth engaging portion and the sixth engaging portion each have the same structure as the second engaging portion.

[0020] According to this structure, the first engaging portion of the bent component and the sixth engaging portion of the restricting component are engaged with each other in the circumferential direction of the path restricting component. In addition, the second engaging portion of the bent component and the fifth engaging portion of the restricting component are engaged with each other in the circumferential direction of the path restricting component. In summary, relative movement of the restricting component with respect to the bent component in the circumferential direction of the path restricting component can be appropriately suppressed.

[0021] [7] Based on the above [6], it can also be that the first engaging portion has a base portion that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the first holding portion along the axial direction of the first holding portion, an elastic piece that protrudes from the tip of the base portion along the circumferential direction of the first holding portion, and an engaging claw that is provided at the tip of the elastic piece and engages with the sixth engaging portion.

[0022] According to this structure, by means of a buckling method that utilizes elastic deformation of the elastic piece of the first engaging portion, the engaging claw of the first engaging portion can be appropriately engaged with the sixth engaging portion. By engaging the engaging claw of the first engaging portion with the sixth engaging portion, relative movement of the restricting component with respect to the bent component in the circumferential direction of the path restricting component can be appropriately suppressed.

[0023] [8] Based on the above [1] or [2], it can also be that there is a connecting member that connects the first connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion. The first connecting portion has a fixing portion that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the first side wall along the axial direction of the first holding portion and a through hole provided in the fixing portion. The sixth connecting portion has a third concave portion that communicates with the through hole. The fixing portion is engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the restricting component in the radial direction of the first holding portion. The connecting member has a columnar insertion portion that is inserted into the through hole and the third concave portion.

[0024] According to this structure, the insertion portion of the connecting member is inserted into the through hole of the first connecting portion and the third concave portion of the sixth connecting portion. The first connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion are connected by this connecting member. In addition, in a state where the first connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion are connected, the fixing portion of the first connecting portion and the outer peripheral surface of the restricting component are engaged with each other in the radial direction of the first holding portion. Thereby, relative movement of the restricting component with respect to the bent component in the radial direction of the first holding portion can be appropriately suppressed.

[0025] [9]On the basis of the above [8], it may also be that the first connecting portion has an annular first elastic member disposed inside the through hole and having a first insertion hole, the sixth connecting portion has an annular second elastic member disposed inside the third concave portion and having a second insertion hole, the connecting member is a connecting pin, the connecting pin has a head and an insertion portion extending from the head and inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole, and the outer diameter of the insertion portion is set to be equal to or greater than the inner diameter of the first insertion hole and set to be equal to or greater than the inner diameter of the second insertion hole.

[0026] According to this structure, the insertion portion of the connecting pin is inserted into the first insertion hole of the first elastic member disposed inside the through hole and the second insertion hole of the second elastic member disposed inside the third concave portion. The first connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion are connected by the connecting pin. At this time, the outer diameter of the insertion portion is set to be equal to or greater than the inner diameter of the first insertion hole and set to be equal to or greater than the inner diameter of the second insertion hole. Therefore, the inner peripheral surface of the first elastic member can be properly adhered to the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion, and the inner peripheral surface of the second elastic member can be properly adhered to the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion. As a result, the detachment of the connecting pin from the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole can be appropriately suppressed.

[0027]

[10] On the basis of the above [8] or [9], it may also be that the connecting member is a connecting pin, the connecting pin has a head having an opposing surface opposing the fixing portion, an insertion portion extending from the opposing surface and inserted into the through hole and the third concave portion, and an elastic member with an adhesive disposed on the opposing surface. A part of the adhesive of the elastic member with an adhesive penetrates into the through hole and the third concave portion, and the insertion portion is adhered to the first connecting portion through the adhesive and adhered to the sixth connecting portion through the adhesive.

[0028] According to this structure, the insertion portion of the connecting pin is adhered to the first connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion through the adhesive. Thereby, the detachment of the connecting pin from the through hole and the third concave portion can be appropriately suppressed.

[0029]

[11] On the basis of the above [8], it may also be that the connecting member has a male threaded member having the insertion portion and a female threaded member fastened to the male threaded member, and the first connecting portion is threadedly fastened to the sixth connecting portion through the male threaded member and the female threaded member.

[0030] According to this structure, the first connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion are connected by threaded fastening using the male threaded member and the female threaded member. Thereby, the detachment of the male threaded member and the female threaded member as the connecting member from the through hole of the first connecting portion and the third concave portion of the sixth connecting portion can be appropriately suppressed.

[0031]

[12] Based on the above

[11] , it is also possible that the female threaded member is a nut provided inside the third recess, the sixth connecting portion forms the nut as an insert, the male threaded member is a bolt having a head and the insertion portion extending from the head, and the tip of the insertion portion is fastened to the nut in a state of passing through the through hole.

[0032] According to this structure, the nut and the sixth connecting portion are formed integrally, and the tip of the insertion portion of the bolt is fastened to the nut. By using the thread fastening of the above nut and bolt, the first connecting portion and the sixth connecting portion can be properly connected.

[0033]

[13] Based on the above

[12] , it is also possible that the first connecting portion has ribs protruding radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the fixing portion toward the first holding portion, and in a plan view observed from the through direction of the through hole, the ribs are formed to surround the through hole, and the ribs contact the head of the bolt.

[0034] According to this structure, ribs are provided on the portion of the outer peripheral surface of the fixing portion that contacts the head of the bolt. The rigidity of the fixing portion can be improved by these ribs. Therefore, when the bolt is fastened to the nut, it is possible to appropriately suppress the generation of cracks, etc. in the fixing portion due to the fastening force.

[0035]

[14] Based on any one of the above [1] to

[13] , it is also possible that the restricting component is a linear component formed to extend linearly in one direction. According to this structure, the linear component can be connected to both the first end portion and the second end portion of the bent component. Thus, by appropriately changing the connection direction of the linear component with respect to the bent component in accordance with the path of the wire component, the same-structured bent components and the same-structured linear components can be shared in two or more bending paths. Therefore, the versatility of the path restricting component can be improved.

[0036]

[15] Based on any one of the above [1] to

[13] , it is also possible that when the bent component is the first bent component, the restricting component is a second bent component having the same structure as the first bent component.

[0037] According to this structure, two first bent components and the second bent component having the same structure are directly connected to each other. Thus, compared with the case where there is one bent component, the bending angle of the path restricting component can be changed. In this way, by adjusting the number of connected bent components having the same structure, the bending angle of the path restricting component can be easily changed.

[0038]

[16] Based on any one of the above [1] to

[15] , it is also possible that the bent component has a first insertion port that opens in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the bent component and extends throughout the axial direction of the bent component, the restricting component has a second insertion port that opens in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the restricting component and extends throughout the axial direction of the restricting component, and the first insertion port communicates with the second insertion port.

[0039] According to this structure, the first insertion port that opens in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the bent component and the second insertion port that opens in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the restricting component communicate with each other. Thus, after terminal processing such as installing a connector at the end in the axial direction of the wire component, the path restricting component can be installed on the wire component from the first insertion port and the second insertion port. In this way, the path restricting component can be installed on the wire component later, so that the assembly workability of the wire harness can be improved.

[0040]

[17] The wire harness of the present disclosure includes: the path restricting component according to any one of the above [1] to

[16] ; and the wire component whose path is restricted by the path restricting component. According to this structure, the same effect as the path restricting component of the above [1] can be obtained.

[0041] [Details of the Embodiment of the Present Disclosure] Hereinafter, specific examples of the path restricting member and the wire harness of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] (First Embodiment) Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the path restricting member and the wire harness will be described. (Overall Structure of Wire Harness 10) Figure 1The wire harness 10 shown is mounted on a vehicle V such as a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle, for example. The wire harness 10 electrically connects two or more electrical devices to each other. The wire harness 10 electrically connects, for example, an inverter M1 provided at the front of the vehicle V and a high-voltage battery M2 provided at a position rearward of the inverter M1 with respect to the vehicle V. The wire harness 10 is disposed on the vehicle V in such a manner that an intermediate portion in the axial direction (length direction) of the wire harness 10 passes outside the vehicle body, such as under the floor of the vehicle V. The inverter M1 is connected, for example, to a motor for driving wheels (not shown) that serves as a power source for vehicle travel. The inverter M1 generates alternating current from the direct current of the high-voltage battery M2 and supplies the alternating current to the motor. The high-voltage battery M2 is, for example, a battery capable of supplying a voltage of several hundred volts.

[0043] The wire harness 10 includes a wire component 11. The wire component 11 includes one or more wires 12 and a tubular outer covering member 13 that surrounds the outer periphery of the wire 12. The wire harness 10 includes connectors C1 and C2 mounted at both end portions in the length direction of the wire 12. The first end portion in the length direction of the wire 12 is connected to the inverter M1 via the connector C1, and the second end portion in the length direction of the wire 12 is connected to the high-voltage battery M2 via the connector C2.

[0044] The wire 12 is, for example, a thick wire having a relatively large cross-sectional area of the conductor. Here, the "thick wire" in this specification is a wire having a cross-sectional area of the conductor of 10 mm 2 (referred to as 10 sq) or more. The outer covering member 13 is, for example, integrally formed in a long tubular shape. The outer covering member 13 has, for example, a function of protecting the internal wire 12 from flying objects and water droplets. The outer covering member 13 has, for example, flexibility and can be easily bent. Examples of the flexible outer covering member 13 include a synthetic resin bellows and a rubber waterproof cover.

[0045] As Figure 2As shown, the wire component 11 is bent two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally, for example, in a state of being mounted on a vehicle V. The wire component 11 of the present embodiment has a straight portion 14A extending linearly in the X-axis direction, a bent portion 15A provided at an end of the straight portion 14A, and a straight portion 14B extending obliquely downward to the right in the drawing from the bent portion 15A. The wire component 11 of the present embodiment has a bent portion 15B provided at an end of the straight portion 14B, a straight portion 14C extending linearly in the X-axis direction from the bent portion 15B, and a bent portion 15C provided at an end of the straight portion 14C. The wire component 11 of the present embodiment has a straight portion 14D extending linearly in the Y-axis direction from the bent portion 15C, a bent portion 15D provided at an end of the straight portion 14D, and a straight portion 14E extending linearly in the X-axis direction from the bent portion 15D. The wire component 11 of the present embodiment has a bent portion 15E provided at an end of the straight portion 14E and a straight portion 14F extending obliquely upward to the right in the drawing from the bent portion 15E. In this way, the wire component 11 of the present embodiment has five bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, and 15E.

[0046] The bent portion 15A is formed, for example, in such a manner that the path of the wire component 11 is bent at a bending angle θ1. Here, the bending angle θ1 is the angle formed by the central axis L1 of the straight portion 14A and the central axis L2 of the straight portion 14B. The bent portion 15A bends the path of the wire component 11 in such a manner that the bending angle θ1 becomes 45°. The bent portion 15A is formed, for example, in such a manner that the path of the wire component 11 bends to the right in the drawing with respect to the central axis L1 of the straight portion 14A. That is, the bent portion 15A is formed in such a manner that the path of the wire component 11 bends to the right with a bending angle θ1 of 45° with respect to the central axis L1 of the straight portion 14A.

[0047] The bent portion 15B bends the path of the wire component 11 such that the bending angle θ2 formed by the central axis L2 of the straight portion 14B and the central axis L3 of the straight portion 14C is, for example, 45°. The bent portion 15B is formed such that the path of the wire component 11 bends leftward in the drawing with respect to the central axis L2 of the straight portion 14B. That is, the bent portion 15B is formed such that the path of the wire component 11 bends leftward with a bending angle θ2 of 45° with respect to the central axis L2 of the straight portion 14B. The bent portion 15C bends the path of the wire component 11 such that the bending angle θ3 formed by the central axis L3 of the straight portion 14C and the central axis L4 of the straight portion 14D is, for example, 90°. The bent portion 15C is formed such that the path of the wire component 11 bends leftward with a bending angle θ3 of 90° with respect to the central axis L3 of the straight portion 14C. The bent portion 15D bends the path of the wire component 11 such that the bending angle θ4 formed by the central axis L4 of the straight portion 14D and the central axis L5 of the straight portion 14E is, for example, 90°. The bent portion 15D is formed such that the path of the wire component 11 bends rightward with a bending angle θ4 of 90° with respect to the central axis L4 of the straight portion 14D. The bent portion 15E bends the path of the wire component 11 such that the bending angle θ5 formed by the central axis L5 of the straight portion 14E and the central axis L6 of the straight portion 14F is, for example, 45°. The bent portion 15E is formed such that the path of the wire component 11 bends leftward with a bending angle θ5 of 45° with respect to the central axis L5 of the straight portion 14E.

[0048] The wire harness 10 includes one or more path restricting members 20 that restrict the path of the wire component 11. The path restricting member 20 is mounted on the outer periphery of the wire component 11. The path restricting member 20 is provided at at least one of the plurality of bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E of the wire component 11 and maintains the bent shape of the wire component 11 at the bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E. The wire harness 10 of the present embodiment includes five path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E. The five path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E are provided corresponding to the five bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E, respectively.

[0049] (Structure of the path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E) A plurality of path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E are provided separately from each other in the longitudinal direction of the wire member 11, for example. Each of the path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E includes, for example, one or more straight members 30 and one or more bent members 60. The path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E are set to match the bent shapes of the corresponding bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E, and the combinations of the straight members 30 and the bent members 60 are different. Here, the straight members 30 included in the respective path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E have the same structure as each other, and the bent members 60 included in the respective path restricting members 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E have the same structure as each other.

[0050] (Structure of the path restricting member 20A) As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the path restricting member 20A is configured such that the straight member 30, the bent member 60, and the straight member 30 are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction of the wire member 11. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, the straight member 30 provided at a position to the left of the bent member 60 in the drawing may be referred to as the "straight member 30A", and the straight member 30 provided at a position to the right of the bent member 60 in the drawing may be referred to as the "straight member 30B".

[0051] The straight members 30A, 30B, and the bent member 60 hold the exterior member 13, respectively. The exterior member 13 is, for example, more difficult to bend than in a state where the straight members 30A, 30B, and the bent member 60 are not installed. The straight members 30A, 30B, and the bent member 60 are made of metal or resin, for example. The straight members 30A, 30B, and the bent member 60 of the present embodiment are made of resin. As the materials of the straight members 30A, 30B, and the bent member 60, synthetic resins such as polypropylene, polyamide, and polyacetal can be used, for example. The materials of the straight members 30A, 30B and the material of the bent member 60 may be different materials from each other or may be the same material as each other.

[0052] The straight member 30A is installed on the outer periphery of the exterior member 13 at the straight portion 14A in the path of the wire member 11, for example. The straight member 30B is installed on the outer periphery of the exterior member 13 at the straight portion 14B in the path of the wire member 11, for example. Each of the straight members 30A, 30B restricts the path of the wire member 11 in the straight portions 14A, 14B, respectively. Each of the straight members 30A, 30B includes a holding portion 31 for holding the wire member 11.

[0053] The bent component 60 is mounted on the outer periphery of the exterior component 13, for example, at the bent portion 15A in the path of the wire component 11. The bent component 60 restricts the path of the wire component 11 in the bent portion 15A. The bent component 60 has a holding portion 61 for holding the wire component 11.

[0054] (Structure of the straight components 30A and 30B) Next, the specific structure of the straight component 30A will be described. In addition, since the straight component 30B has the same structure as the straight component 30A, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same structures as those of the straight component 30A, and the detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0055] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the straight component 30A of the present embodiment includes a holding portion 31, two connecting portions 40A and 40B having the same structure as each other, and two connecting portions 45A and 45B having the same structure as each other. The straight component 30A of the present embodiment includes two engaging portions 50A and 50B having the same structure as each other and two engaging portions 55A and 55B having the same structure as each other. The straight component 30A is formed, for example, in a point-symmetrical shape about the central axis of the straight component 30A that passes through the center of the straight component 30A in the XY plane and extends in the Z-axis direction. The top view shape of the straight component 30A as viewed from the Z-axis direction is formed, for example, in a point-symmetrical shape about the central axis of the straight component 30A that extends in the Z-axis direction.

[0056] As Figure 4 shown, the holding portion 31 is in a cylindrical shape that covers the outer periphery of the exterior component 13 at a part of the circumferential direction of the exterior component 13. The overall cross-sectional shape of the holding portion 31 is in a U shape. The holding portion 31 is formed in a shape that extends linearly in one direction. That is, the axial direction of the cylindrical holding portion 31 extends linearly in one direction.

[0057] The holding portion 31 has, for example, a bottom wall 32 and two side walls 33 and 34 that project from both side edges of the bottom wall 32. The bottom wall 32 extends linearly in the X-axis direction, for example. The cross-sectional shape of the bottom wall 32 is formed in an arc shape, for example.

[0058] Each of the side walls 33 and 34 is continuous with the bottom wall 32 and formed integrally. Each of the side walls 33 and 34 projects in the Z-axis direction from the two end edges in the width direction (here, the Y-axis direction) of the bottom wall 32, for example. The two side walls 33 and 34 face each other in the width direction of the bottom wall 32, for example. Each of the side walls 33 and 34 is formed in a plate shape, for example. Each of the side walls 33 and 34 extends linearly in the Z-axis direction and extends linearly in the X-axis direction. Each of the side walls 33 and 34 extends over the entire length in the length direction of the bottom wall 32.

[0059] As shown Figure 5 in FIG. 1, the linear component 30A has an insertion port 35 that opens in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the linear component 30A. The insertion port 35 is formed by a gap between the upper ends of the side wall 33 and the side wall 34. The insertion port 35 extends, for example, throughout the entire axial direction of the linear component 30A along the axial direction of the linear component 30A. That is, the insertion port 35 is formed to open in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the linear component 30A and to open at both ends in the axial direction of the linear component 30A.

[0060] The linear component 30A has end portions 36 and 37 in the axial direction of the linear component 30A. The end portion 36 is, for example, an end portion facing the bent component 60. The end portion 37 is an end portion provided on the opposite side of the end portion 36 in the axial direction of the linear component 30A.

[0061] As shown Figure 6 in FIG. 2, the connecting portion 40A is provided at the end portion 36 in the side wall 34. The connecting portion 40B is provided at the end portion 37 in the side wall 33. In a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, the two connecting portions 40A and 40B are provided at positions that are point-symmetric with each other about the central axis of the linear component 30A extending parallel to the Z-axis direction.

[0062] The connecting portion 45A is provided at the end portion 36 in the side wall 33. The connecting portion 45B is provided at the end portion 37 in the side wall 34. In a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, the two connecting portions 45A and 45B are provided at positions that are point-symmetric with each other about the central axis of the linear component 30A extending parallel to the Z-axis direction.

[0063] In a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, the two engaging portions 50A and 50B are provided at positions overlapping the two connecting portions 40A and 40B, respectively. In a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, the two engaging portions 50A and 50B are provided at positions that are point-symmetric with each other about the central axis of the linear component 30A extending parallel to the Z-axis direction.

[0064] The engaging portion 55A is provided at the end portion 36 in the side wall 33. The engaging portion 55B is provided at the end portion 37 in the side wall 34. In a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, the two engaging portions 55A and 55B are provided at positions overlapping the two connecting portions 45A and 45B, respectively. In a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, the two engaging portions 55A and 55B are provided at positions that are point-symmetric with each other about the central axis of the linear component 30A extending parallel to the Z-axis direction.

[0065] Next, the specific structure of the connecting portion 40A will be described. In addition, since the connecting portion 40B has the same structure as the connecting portion 40A, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same structures as those of the connecting portion 40A, and the detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0066] The connecting portion 40A has a protruding portion 41 that protrudes from the end portion 36 in the side wall 34 along the axial direction of the holding portion 31, and an engaging protrusion 42 that protrudes from the top end of the protruding portion 41 along the height direction of the side wall 34 (here, the Z-axis direction). In the connecting portion 40A, the protruding portion 41 and the engaging protrusion 42 are continuous and formed as one body.

[0067] The protruding portion 41 is continuous with the side wall 34 and formed as one body. The protruding portion 41 is provided, for example, in a part of the height direction of the side wall 34. The protruding portion 41 is, for example, connected to the lower end portion of the side wall 34 at the end portion 36. The protruding portion 41 extends linearly, for example, along the axial direction of the linear component 30A (here, the X-axis direction). The protruding portion 41 is formed over the entire length in the plate thickness direction of the side wall 34 (here, the Y-axis direction) along the plate thickness direction of the side wall 34. The length dimension of the protruding portion 41 in the Y-axis direction is, for example, equal to the length dimension of the side wall 34 in the Y-axis direction.

[0068] The engaging protrusion 42 protrudes from the upper surface at the top end of the protruding portion 41 along the Z-axis direction. The engaging protrusion 42 is provided, for example, in a part of the length direction of the protruding portion 41 (here, the X-axis direction). The engaging protrusion 42 extends linearly, for example, along the height direction of the side wall 34. In the connecting portion 40A, a concave portion 43 is formed by the side wall 34 at the end portion 36, the upper surface of the protruding portion 41, and the side surface of the engaging protrusion 42. The length dimension of the engaging protrusion 42 in the Y-axis direction is, for example, equal to the length dimension of the protruding portion 41 in the Y-axis direction.

[0069] As Figure 7 shown, the length dimension of the engaging protrusion 42 along the axial direction of the linear component 30A, here the length dimension of the engaging protrusion 42 in the X-axis direction, is, for example, equal to the length dimension of the concave portion 43 in the X-axis direction. The length dimension of the engaging protrusion 42 in the X-axis direction is, for example, larger than the length dimension of the side wall 34 in the plate thickness direction of the side wall 34 (here, the Y-axis direction). In addition, the length dimension of the engaging protrusion 42 in the X-axis direction can be, for example, equal to the length dimension of the side wall 34 in the Y-axis direction, or smaller than the length dimension of the side wall 34 in the Y-axis direction.

[0070] Next, the specific structure of the connecting portion 45A will be described. In addition, since the connecting portion 45B has the same structure as the connecting portion 45A, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same structures as those of the connecting portion 45A, and the detailed description thereof is omitted here.

[0071] The connecting portion 45A has a first recess 46 that is recessed from the axial end face of the side wall 33 at the end portion 36 toward the end portion 37. The first recess 46 is formed, for example, to extend from the lower end portion of the side wall 33 to a part of the bottom wall 32 in the circumferential direction of the holding portion 31. The first recess 46 is formed, for example, to penetrate the side wall 33 in the thickness direction (here, the Y-axis direction).

[0072] The first recess 46 has a first inner side surface 46A, a second inner side surface 46B, and a bottom surface 46C. The first inner side surface 46A is disposed at a position above the second inner side surface 46B in the Z-axis direction in the drawing. The first inner side surface 46A is disposed, for example, at the same position as the upper surface of the protruding portion 41 in the Z-axis direction. The first inner side surface 46A extends in the X-axis direction.

[0073] The second inner side surface 46B is disposed, for example, at a position spaced apart from the first inner side surface 46A in the Z-axis direction by an interval larger than the length dimension of the protruding portion 41 in the Z-axis direction. As Figure 5 shown, the second inner side surface 46B is disposed, for example, at a position where it can be engaged with the engaging portion 80A of the bent component 60 in the Z-axis direction. The second inner side surface 46B constitutes an engaging portion 55A that engages with the engaging portion 80A in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member 20A. As Figure 7 shown, the second inner side surface 46B extends in the X-axis direction. The bottom surface 46C extends, for example, in the Z-axis direction. The bottom surface 46C extends from the first inner side surface 46A to the second inner side surface 46B in the Z-axis direction.

[0074] The first recess 46 is formed to have a size into which the protruding portion 41 can be fitted. The amount of depression of the first recess 46, that is, the length dimension of the first recess 46 in the X-axis direction is, for example, equal to the length dimension of the protruding portion 41 in the X-axis direction.

[0075] The connecting portion 45A has a second recess 47 that is recessed upward in the drawing from the first inner side surface 46A. The second recess 47 is formed, for example, to have a size into which the engaging protrusion 42 can be fitted. The amount of depression of the second recess 47, that is, the length dimension of the second recess 47 in the Z-axis direction is, for example, equal to the length dimension of the engaging protrusion 42 in the Z-axis direction. The length dimension of the second recess 47 in the X-axis direction is, for example, equal to the length dimension of the engaging protrusion 42 in the X-axis direction.

[0076] Next, the specific structure of the engaging portion 50A will be described. In addition, since the engaging portion 50B has the same structure as the engaging portion 50A, the same reference numerals are given to the same structures as those of the engaging portion 50A, and detailed description thereof is omitted here. In addition, the structure of the engaging portion 50A will be described with reference to the engaging portion 50B as well.

[0077] As Figure 6As shown, the engaging portion 50A has, for example, a base portion 51 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the bottom wall 32. The base portion 51 is, for example, continuous with the outer peripheral surface of the bottom wall 32 and formed integrally therewith. The base portion 51 is formed to project outward from the outer peripheral surface of the bottom wall 32 along the axial direction of the holding portion 31. The base portion 51 is formed to project more outward in the axial direction of the holding portion 31 than the axial end surface of the side wall 34.

[0078] The engaging portion 50A has an elastically deformable elastic piece 52 that projects along the circumferential direction of the holding portion 31 from the tip of the base portion 51, and an engaging claw 53 provided at the projecting tip of the elastic piece 52. The elastic piece 52 is, for example, provided at a position separated from the bottom wall 32 in the X-axis direction. The elastic piece 52 is, for example, formed along the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the bottom wall 32. The shape of the elastic piece 52 observed from the X-axis direction is, for example, formed in an arc shape. The elastic piece 52 is, for example, provided so as not to overlap with the holding portion 31 in a plan view observed from the X-axis direction. The elastic piece 52 is, for example, formed in a cantilever shape with the base end connected to the projecting tip of the base portion 51 as a fixed end and the tip on the side opposite to the base end as a free end. The length dimension of the elastic piece 52 in the Y-axis direction is smaller than the length dimension of the bottom wall 32 in the Y-axis direction. The elastic piece 52 is, for example, configured to be elastically deformable and deflectable in the radial direction of the holding portion 31.

[0079] The engaging claw 53 projects, for example, from the tip of the elastic piece 52 in a direction intersecting the circumferential direction of the holding portion 31. The engaging claw 53 is, for example, formed to project radially inward of the holding portion 31 from the tip of the elastic piece 52. The engaging claw 53 is provided to overlap with the holding portion 31 in a plan view observed from the X-axis direction.

[0080] Next, the specific structure of the engaging portions 55A and 55B will be described. The engaging portion 55A is constituted by the second inner side surface 46B of the first concave portion 46 of the connecting portion 45A. The engaging portion 55B is constituted by the second inner side surface 46B of the first concave portion 46 of the connecting portion 45B.

[0081] (Structure of the bending member 60) Next, the specific structure of the bending member 60 will be described. As Figure 5 and Figure 8 shown, the bending member 60 of the present embodiment includes a holding portion 61, two connecting portions 70A and 70B having the same structure as each other, and two connecting portions 75A and 75B having the same structure as each other. As Figure 5 shown, the bending member 60 of the present embodiment includes two engaging portions 80A and 80B having the same structure as each other and two engaging portions 85A and 85B having the same structure as each other.

[0082] As Figure 4As shown, the holding portion 61 is in a cylindrical shape that wraps around the outer periphery of the exterior member 13 at a part of the circumferential direction of the exterior member 13. The overall cross-sectional shape of the holding portion 61 is in a U shape. As Figure 3 shown, the holding portion 61 is formed in a bent shape having a bent portion 60R bent at a predetermined bending angle θ. The bending angle θ of the bent portion 60R in the present embodiment is set to 45°. The axial direction of the cylindrical holding portion 61 is bent and extended at the predetermined bending angle θ.

[0083] The holding portion 61 has, for example, a bottom wall 62 and two side walls 63, 64 protruding from both side edges of the bottom wall 62. For example, in a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, the bottom wall 62 is bent and extended at the predetermined bending angle θ. For example, in a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, the bottom wall 62 is formed to be bent in an arc shape. As Figure 5 shown, the cross-sectional shape of the bottom wall 62 is formed in an arc shape, for example. The cross-sectional shape of the bottom wall 62 is formed in the same shape and the same size as the cross-sectional shape of the bottom wall 32, for example.

[0084] Each of the side walls 63, 64 is continuous with the bottom wall 62 and formed integrally. Each of the side walls 63, 64 protrudes in the Z-axis direction from both end edges in the width direction (here, the Y-axis direction) of the bottom wall 62, for example. The two side walls 63, 64 are opposed to each other in the width direction of the bottom wall 62, for example. The length dimension in the Z-axis direction of the side walls 63, 64 is equal to the length dimension in the Z-axis direction of the side walls 33, 34, for example.

[0085] As Figure 3 shown, the side wall 63 is provided, for example, on the inner side of the bend of the bent portion 60R at both end edges in the width direction of the bottom wall 62. The side wall 64 is provided, for example, on the outer side of the bend of the bent portion 60R at both end edges in the width direction of the bottom wall 62. In a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the side walls 63, 64 are formed to be bent in an arc shape. The length dimension of the side wall 63 in the axial direction of the holding portion 61 is smaller than the length dimension of the side wall 64 in the axial direction of the holding portion 61.

[0086] As Figure 5 shown, the bending component 60 has an insertion port 65 that opens in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the bending component 60. The insertion port 65 is formed by a gap between the upper ends of the side wall 63 and the side wall 64. The insertion port 65 extends, for example, throughout the entire axial direction of the bending component 60 in the axial direction of the bending component 60. That is, the insertion port 65 is formed to open in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the bending component 60 and also open at both ends in the axial direction of the bending component 60.

[0087] The bent component 60 has axial ends 66 and 67 of the bent component 60. The end 66 is, for example, the end facing the end 36 of the linear component 30A. The end 67 is the end provided on the opposite side of the end 66 in the axial direction of the bent component 60. The end 67 is, for example, the end facing the end 37 of the linear component 30B (refer to Figure 3 ).

[0088] The connecting portion 70A is provided at the end 66 in the side wall 63. The connecting portion 70B is provided at the end 67 in the side wall 64. The connecting portion 75A is provided at the end 66 in the side wall 64. The connecting portion 75B is provided at the end 67 in the side wall 63. At the end 66 of the bent component 60, the connecting portion 70A is provided in the side wall 63, and the connecting portion 75A is provided in the side wall 64. On the other hand, at the end 67 of the bent component 60, the connecting portion 70B having the same structure as the connecting portion 70A is provided in the side wall 64, and the connecting portion 75B having the same structure as the connecting portion 75A is provided in the side wall 63. The connecting portions 70B and 75B provided at the end 67 are formed into structures in which the structures of the connecting portions 70A and 75A provided at the end 66 are rotated by 180°.

[0089] In a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, two engaging portions 80A and 80B are provided at positions overlapping the two connecting portions 70A and 70B, respectively. In a plan view observed from the Z-axis direction, two engaging portions 85A and 85B are provided at positions overlapping the two connecting portions 75A and 75B, respectively. The engaging portions 80B and 85B provided at the end 67 are formed into structures in which the engaging portions 80A and 85A provided at the end 66 are rotated by 180°.

[0090] Here, the two connecting portions 70A and 70B each have the same structure as the connecting portion 40A of the linear component 30A. That is, the two connecting portions 70A and 70B each have a protruding portion 41, an engaging protrusion 42, and a recess 43. The two connecting portions 75A and 75B each have the same structure as the connecting portion 45A of the linear component 30A. That is, the two connecting portions 75A and 75B each have a first recess 46 and a second recess 47. The two engaging portions 80A and 80B each have the same structure as the engaging portion 50A of the linear component 30A. That is, the two engaging portions 80A and 80B each have a base portion 51, an elastic piece 52, and an engaging claw 53. The two engaging portions 85A and 85B each have the same structure as the engaging portion 55A of the linear component 30A. That is, the two engaging portions 85A and 85B are each constituted by the second inner side surface 46B of the first recess 46 respectively possessed by the connecting portions 75A and 75B. Here, the detailed description of the structures of the connecting portions 70A and 70B, the connecting portions 75A and 75B, the engaging portions 80A and 80B, and the engaging portions 85A and 85B is omitted.

[0091] As shown Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the axial end 66 of the straight component 30A is connected to the bent component 60. Specifically, as Figure 9 shown, the connecting portion 40A of the straight component 30A is connected to the connecting portion 75A of the bent component 60. Specifically, the protruding portion 41 of the connecting portion 40A is fitted into the first concave portion 46 of the connecting portion 75A, and the engaging projection 42 of the connecting portion 40A is fitted into the second concave portion 47 of the connecting portion 75A. Moreover, the side surface of the engaging projection 42 of the connecting portion 40A and the inner side surface of the second concave portion 47 of the connecting portion 75A are engaged with each other in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20A. As Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the connecting portion 45A of the straight component 30A is connected to the connecting portion 70A of the bent component 60. Specifically, the protruding portion 41 of the connecting portion 70A is fitted into the first concave portion 46 of the connecting portion 45A, and the engaging projection 42 of the connecting portion 70A is fitted into the second concave portion 47 of the connecting portion 45A. Moreover, the side surface of the engaging projection 42 of the connecting portion 70A and the inner side surface of the second concave portion 47 of the connecting portion 45A are engaged with each other in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20A. In summary, in the axial direction (horizontal in the figure) of the path restricting member 20A, relative movement of the bent component 60 with respect to the straight component 30A can be appropriately suppressed. In addition, as Figure 9 shown, the engaging claw 53 of the engaging portion 50A of the straight component 30A and the engaging portion 85A of the bent component 60 are engaged with each other in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member 20A. The engaging portion 50A and the engaging portion 85A are engaged with each other, for example, by a buckling method using elastic deformation of the elastic piece 52 of the engaging portion 50A. In addition, the engaging claw 53 of the engaging portion 80A of the bent component 60 and the engaging portion 55A of the straight component 30A are engaged with each other in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member 20A. The engaging portion 55A and the engaging portion 80A are engaged with each other, for example, by a buckling method using elastic deformation of the elastic piece 52 of the engaging portion 80A. In summary, in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member 20A, relative movement of the bent component 60 with respect to the straight component 30A can be appropriately suppressed.

[0092] As Figure 4 shown, similar to the straight component 30A, the straight component 30B is connected to the end 67 of the bent component 60. Here, in the path restricting member 20A in a state where the straight components 30A and 30B are connected to the bent component 60, the insertion port 35 of the straight component 30A, the insertion port 65 of the bent component 60, and the insertion port 35 of the straight component 30B communicate with each other.

[0093] At the first end portion in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20A, a connecting portion 40B and an engaging portion 50B are provided so as to protrude more outwardly than the holding portion 31 at the end portion 37 of the straight member 30A. Further, at the second end portion in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20A, a connecting portion 40A and an engaging portion 50A are provided so as to protrude more outwardly than the holding portion 31 at the end portion 36 of the straight member 30B.

[0094] As Figure 3 shown, the wire harness 10 has, for example, a sliding restricting member 90 that restricts the sliding movement of the path restricting member 20A in the length direction with respect to the exterior member 13. As the sliding restricting member 90, for example, a resin or metal bundling tape, a riveting ring, or a tape can be used. The sliding restricting member 90 of the present embodiment is a tape. The sliding restricting member 90 is provided at the first end portion and the second end portion in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20A, respectively. The sliding restricting member 90 provided at the first end portion of the path restricting member 20A is wound, for example, around the outer peripheral surface of the end portion 37 of the straight member 30A and the outer peripheral surface of the exterior member 13. The sliding restricting member 90 provided at the second end portion of the path restricting member 20A is wound, for example, around the outer peripheral surface of the end portion 36 of the straight member 30B and the outer peripheral surface of the exterior member 13. Further, although not shown, the sliding restricting member 90 is also provided with respect to Figure 2 the path restricting members 20B, 20C, 20D, and 20E shown.

[0095] (Structure of the path restricting member 20B) As Figure 2 shown, the path restricting member 20B is configured such that the straight members 30, the bent members 60, and the straight members 30 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the wire member 11. The straight members 30 and the bent members 60 in the path restricting member 20B are configured to have the same structure as the straight members 30 and the bent members 60 in the path restricting member 20A, respectively. Among them, the path restricting member 20B is arranged such that the structure of the path restricting member 20A is rotated by 180°. In other words, the bent member 60 can be commonly used for the bent portion 15A as the rightward bent portion and the bent portion 15B as the leftward bent portion. That is, the bent members 60 having the same structure can be shared in the bent portion 15A as the rightward bent portion and the bent portion 15B as the leftward bent portion.

[0096] (Structure of the path restricting member 20D) As Figure 11As shown, the path restricting member 20D is configured such that the straight members 30, the bent members 60, the bent members 60, and the straight members 30 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the wire member 11. Each of the straight members 30 and each of the bent members 60 in the path restricting member 20D are configured to have the same structure as the straight member 30 and the bent member 60 in the path restricting member 20A, respectively. The connection between the two bent members 60 can be made in the same manner as the connection between the straight member 30 and the bent member 60. For example, the two bent members 60 are connected in a state where the end portion 66 of one bent member 60 (the first bent member) is opposed to the end portion 67 of one bent member 60 (the second bent member). For example, the connecting portions 70A, 75A at the end portion 66 of one bent member 60 are respectively connected to the connecting portions 75B, 70B at the end portion 67 of one bent member 60. For example, the engaging portions 80A, 85A at the end portion 66 of one bent member 60 are respectively engaged with the engaging portions 85B, 80B at the end portion 67 of one bent member 60. As Figure 2 shown, in the path restricting member 20D provided at the bent portion 15D with a bending angle θ4 of 90°, by connecting the two bent members 60, the bending angle of the path restricting member 20D is adjusted. That is, in the path restricting member 20, by adjusting the number of directly connected bent members 60, the bending angle of the path restricting member 20 can be adjusted.

[0097] (Structure of the path restricting member 20C) The path restricting member 20C is configured such that the straight members 30, the bent members 60, the bent members 60, and the straight members 30 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the wire member 11. The straight members 30 and the bent members 60 in the path restricting member 20C are configured to have the same structure as the straight member 30 and the bent member 60 in the path restricting member 20D, respectively. Among them, the path restricting member 20C is arranged so that the structure of the path restricting member 20D is rotated 180°.

[0098] (Structure of the path restricting member 20E) The path restricting member 20E is configured such that the straight members 30, the bent members 60, and the straight members 30 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the wire member 11. The straight members 30 and the bent members 60 in the path restricting member 20E are configured to have the same structure as the straight member 30 and the bent member 60 in the path restricting member 20A, respectively. Among them, the path restricting member 20E is arranged so that the structure of the path restricting member 20A is rotated clockwise by 135°.

[0099] (Manufacturing method of the path restricting member 20A) Next, a manufacturing method of the path restricting member 20A will be described. First, in Figure 12 the process shown, prepare the straight member 30A and the bent member 60, and arrange the bent member 60 such that the end portion 66 faces the end portion 36 of the straight member 30A. Bond them, and arrange the bent member 60 to be inclined with respect to the axial direction of the straight member 30A.

[0100] Next, in Figure 13 the process shown, keep the bent member 60 in the inclined state, and insert the connecting portion 70A of the bent member 60 into the first recess 46 of the connecting portion 45A of the straight member 30A. At this time, by bringing the engaging claw 53 provided at the tip of the elastic piece 52 into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the bottom wall 32 of the straight member 30A, the elastic piece 52 of the engaging portion 80A of the bent member 60 elastically deforms so as to flex radially outward of the holding portion 61.

[0101] Next, rotate the bent member 60 in the direction of the arrow in the figure. In this way, the bent member 60 relatively rotates with respect to the straight member 30A while the elastic piece 52 of the engaging portion 80A of the bent member 60 is elastically deformed. After that, as Figure 14 shown, when the engaging claw 53 of the engaging portion 80A passes over the engaging portion 55A of the straight member 30A, the elastic piece 52 of the engaging portion 80A elastically returns to its original shape. Thereby, the engaging claw 53 of the engaging portion 80A engages with the engaging portion 55A of the straight member 30A. At this time, the engaging projection 42 of the connecting portion 70A of the bent member 60 fits into the second recess 47 of the connecting portion 45A of the straight member 30A. Through the above process, the bent member 60 is connected to the straight member 30A.

[0102] Bond them, in Figure 15 the process shown, connect the straight member 30B to the end portion 67 of the bent member 60. Specifically, arrange the straight member 30B such that the end portion 37 faces the end portion 67 of the bent member 60. At this time, arrange the straight member 30B to be inclined with respect to the axial direction of the bent member 60. Moreover, while keeping the straight member 30B inclined, insert the connecting portion 40B of the straight member 30B into the first recess 46 of the connecting portion 75B of the bent member 60. After that, by rotating the straight member 30B in the direction of the arrow in the figure, the straight member 30B can be connected to the bent member 60 in the same manner as the connection between the straight member 30A and the bent member 60.

[0103] Through the above process, it is possible to manufacture Figure 4 the path restricting member 20A shown. Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described. (1-1) The path restricting member 20 includes a bent member 60 having a holding portion 61 that holds the wire member 11 and has a bent portion 60R, two connecting portions 70A and 70B having the same structure, and two connecting portions 75A and 75B having the same structure. The path restricting member 20 includes a straight member 30 having a holding portion 31 that holds the wire member 11, a connecting portion 40A that is connected to the connecting portion 75A, and a connecting portion 45A that is connected to the connecting portion 70A. The holding portion 61 has a bottom wall 62 and side walls 63 and 64 that project from both side edges of the bottom wall 62. The bent member 60 has end portions 66 and 67 in the axial direction of the bent member 60. The connecting portion 70A is provided at the end portion 66 in the side wall 63. The connecting portion 75A is provided at the end portion 36 in the side wall 64. The connecting portion 70B is provided at the end portion 67 in the side wall 64. The connecting portion 75B is provided at the end portion 67 in the side wall 63.

[0104] According to this structure, at the end portion 66 of the bent member 60, the connecting portion 70A is provided in the side wall 63, and the connecting portion 75A is provided in the side wall 64. On the other hand, at the end portion 67 of the bent member 60, the connecting portion 70B having the same structure as the connecting portion 70A is provided in the side wall 64, and the connecting portion 75B having the same structure as the connecting portion 75A is provided in the side wall 63. Thus, the connecting portions 70B and 75B at the end portion 67 of the bent member 60 are formed in a structure in which the structure of the connecting portions 70A and 75A at the end portion 66 of the bent member 60 is rotated by 180°. Therefore, the straight member 30 can be connected to the end portion 66 of the bent member 60 and can also be connected to the end portion 67 of the bent member 60. That is, the straight member 30 can be connected to both the end portion 66 and the end portion 67 of the bent member 60. Accordingly, by appropriately changing the connection direction of the straight member 30 with respect to the bent member 60 in accordance with the path of the wire member 11, the bent member 60 having the same structure and the straight member 30 having the same structure can be shared among two or more bending paths. Therefore, compared with the prior art that requires path restricting members having different shapes to be prepared for each bending path, the versatility of the path restricting member 20 can be improved.

[0105] (1-2) At the end 36 of the linear component 30, a connecting portion 40A is provided on the side wall 34, and a connecting portion 45A is provided on the side wall 33. On the other hand, at the end 37 of the linear component 30, a connecting portion 40B having the same structure as the connecting portion 40A is provided on the side wall 33, and a connecting portion 45B having the same structure as the connecting portion 45A is provided on the side wall 34. In this way, the connecting portions 40B and 45B at the end 37 of the linear component 30 are formed in a structure in which the connecting portions 40A and 45A at the end 36 of the linear component 30 are rotated by 180°. Therefore, the bent component 60 can be connected to both the end 36 and the end 37 of the linear component 30. Thus, by appropriately changing the connection direction of the bent component 60 with respect to the linear component 30 in accordance with the path of the wire component 11, the bent component 60 having the same structure and the linear component 30 having the same structure can be shared among two or more bent paths. Therefore, compared with the prior art that requires path restricting components of different shapes to be prepared for each bent path, the versatility of the path restricting component 20 can be improved.

[0106] (1-3) The connecting portions 40A and 40B have the same structure as the connecting portion 70A, and the connecting portions 45A and 45B have the same structure as the connecting portion 75A. Therefore, the connecting portion 70A of another bent component 60 can be connected to the connecting portion 75A that can be connected to the connecting portion 40A. In addition, the connecting portion 75A of another bent component 60 can be connected to the connecting portion 70A that can be connected to the connecting portion 45A. Thus, two bent components 60 can be directly connected. Similarly, two linear components 30 can be directly connected. Therefore, the degree of freedom of the combination of the linear component 30 and the bent component 60 in the path restricting component 20 can be improved. In addition, by changing the combination of the linear component 30 and the bent component 60, the path restricting component 20 corresponding to various bent paths can be constituted while using the linear component 30 having the same structure and the bent component 60 having the same structure. For example, by changing the number of directly connected bent components 60, the bending angle of the path restricting component 20 can be changed. In summary, the path restricting component 20 corresponding to various bent paths can be constituted while suppressing an increase in the types of components constituting the path restricting component 20. As a result, the versatility of the linear component 30 and the bent component 60 can be improved.

[0107] (1-4)In a state where the connecting portion 70A of the bent component 60 is connected to the connecting portion 45A of the straight component 30, the side surface of the engaging protrusion 42 of the connecting portion 70A and the inner side surface of the second recess 47 of the connecting portion 45A are engaged with each other in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20. Further, in a state where the connecting portion 75A of the bent component 60 is connected to the connecting portion 40A of the straight component 30, the inner side surface of the second recess 47 of the connecting portion 75A and the engaging protrusion 42 of the connecting portion 40A are engaged with each other in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20. In summary, relative movement of the straight component 30 with respect to the bent component 60 in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20 can be appropriately suppressed.

[0108] (1-5)The length dimension of the engaging protrusion 42 in the axial direction of the path restricting member 20, that is, the length dimension of the engaging protrusion 42 in the direction of engagement with the inner side surface of the second recess 47, is formed to be larger than the length dimension of the side wall 63 in the thickness direction of the side wall 63. Therefore, for example, even when an external force that presses the side surface of the engaging protrusion 42 and the inner side surface of the second recess 47 together is applied to the path restricting member 20 from the wire component 11 or the like in the above axial direction, damage to the engaging protrusion 42 due to this external force can be appropriately suppressed.

[0109] (1-6)The engaging portion 80A of the bent component 60 and the engaging portion 55A of the straight component 30 are engaged with each other in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member 20. Further, the engaging portion 85A of the bent component 60 and the engaging portion 50A of the straight component 30 are engaged with each other in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member 20. Thereby, relative movement of the straight component 30 with respect to the bent component 60 in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member 20 can be appropriately suppressed.

[0110] (1-7)The engaging portion 80A and the engaging portion 85A are provided at the end portion 66 of the bent component 60. Further, the engaging portion 80B having the same structure as the engaging portion 80A and the engaging portion 85B having the same structure as the engaging portion 85A are provided at the end portion 67 of the bent component 60. Therefore, when the straight component 30 is connected to the end portion 67 of the bent component 60, the engaging portion 80B of the bent component 60 and the engaging portion 55A of the straight component 30 can be engaged with each other, and the engaging portion 85B of the bent component 60 and the engaging portion 50A of the straight component 30 can be engaged with each other. Thereby, even when the straight component 30 is connected to the end portion 67 of the bent component 60, relative movement of the straight component 30 with respect to the bent component 60 in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member 20 can be appropriately suppressed.

[0111] (1-8) The engaging portion 80A has a base portion 51 that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 61 along the axial direction of the holding portion 61, an elastic piece 52 that protrudes from the tip of the base portion 51 along the circumferential direction of the holding portion 61, and an engaging claw 53 provided at the tip of the elastic piece 52. According to this structure, by using the buckling method of elastic deformation of the elastic piece 52 of the engaging portion 80A, the engaging claw 53 of the engaging portion 80A can be properly engaged with the engaging portion 55A. By engaging the engaging claw 53 of the engaging portion 80A with the engaging portion 55A, relative movement of the linear component 30 relative to the bent component 60 in the circumferential direction of the path restricting member 20 can be appropriately suppressed.

[0112] (1-9) In the path restricting member 20, an insertion port 35 that opens in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the linear component 30 and an insertion port 65 that opens in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the bent component 60 communicate with each other. Thus, after terminal processing such as mounting the connectors C1, C2, etc. at the axial ends of the wire component 11, the path restricting member 20 can be mounted on the wire component 11 from the insertion ports 35, 65. In this way, the path restricting member 20 can be mounted on the wire component 11 later, so that the assembly workability of the wire harness 10 can be improved.

[0113] (Modification example of the first embodiment) The first embodiment can be implemented with the following changes. The first embodiment and the following modification examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a range where no technical contradiction occurs.

[0114] · The structure of the path restricting member 20 in the first embodiment can be appropriately changed. For example, by changing the combination of the linear component 30 and the bent component 60, that is, the number and connection direction of the linear component 30 and the bent component 60, the path restricting member 20 can be formed into various structures. The number of the linear component 30 and the bent component 60 constituting the path restricting member 20 is not particularly limited. For example, the path restricting member 20 may also be composed of only two or more bent components 60.

[0115] For example, it can also be as Figure 16 and Figure 17 shown, connect two bent components 60A, 60B to form the path restricting member 20. Here, the bent components 60A, 60B each have the same structure as the bent component 60 shown in Figure 5 etc. The bent component 60B is arranged, for example, in a state where the structure of the bent component 60A is rotated by 180°. As Figure 16As shown, the bent component 60A and the bent component 60B are connected to each other in a state where the end 67 of the bent component 60A faces the end 67 of the bent component 60B. For example, the connecting portion 70B provided at the end 67 of the side wall 64 of the bent component 60B is connected to the connecting portion 75B provided at the end 67 of the side wall 63 of the bent component 60A. In addition, the connecting portion 70B provided at the end 67 of the side wall 64 of the bent component 60A is connected to the connecting portion 75B provided at the end 67 of the side wall 63 of the bent component 60B.

[0116] As Figure 17 shown, the path restricting member 20 of this modification example is formed in a shape in which a bent portion that bends to the right and a bent portion that bends to the left are continuous along the axial direction of the path restricting member 20 when viewed from above in the Z-axis direction.

[0117] · In the first embodiment, in the wiring path of the wire component 11, the path restricting member 20 is provided only for the bent portions 15A, 15B, 15C, 15D, 15E, but is not limited thereto. For example, the path restricting member 20 may also be provided for the straight portions 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, 14E, 14F. For example, the path restricting member 20 may be provided for the straight portion 14C provided between the path restricting member 20B and the path restricting member 20C. For example, a straight component 30 connected to both the path restricting member 20C and the path restricting member 20D may be provided for the straight portion 14D provided between the path restricting member 20C and the path restricting member 20D. In this case, the path restricting member 20C and the path restricting member 20D are formed as one body by the straight component 30 provided on the straight portion 14D. In this case, the top view shape of the path restricting members 20C and 20D is formed in an S shape.

[0118] · For example, it may also be as Figure 18 and Figure 19 shown, one or more reinforcing ribs 38 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the straight component 30. The straight component 30 of this modification example has two reinforcing ribs 38. Each reinforcing rib 38 is formed, for example, over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 31. Each reinforcing rib 38 is formed, for example, to continuously extend along the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33, the outer peripheral surface of the bottom wall 32, and the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 34. Each reinforcing rib 38 is formed to project radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 31. According to this structure, by providing the reinforcing ribs 38, the bending rigidity of the straight component 30 can be improved.

[0119] · For example, it may also be as Figure 18 and Figure 20 shown, one or more reinforcing ribs 68 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the bent component 60. The bent component 60 of this modification example has two reinforcing ribs 68. As Figure 20As shown, each reinforcing rib 68 is formed, for example, over the entire circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 61. Each reinforcing rib 68 is formed, for example, to continuously extend along the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 63, the outer peripheral surface of the bottom wall 62, and the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 64. Each reinforcing rib 68 is formed to protrude radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 61. According to this structure, by providing the reinforcing rib 68, the bending rigidity of the bent component 60 can be improved.

[0120] ·For example, it is also possible to Figure 18 and Figure 19 as shown, provide one or more groove portions 39 on the outer peripheral surface of the linear component 30. The linear component 30 of this modification example has one groove portion 39. The groove portion 39 is provided, for example, between two reinforcing ribs 38 in the axial direction of the linear component 30. The groove portion 39 is formed, for example, to be recessed downward from the upper surfaces of the side walls 33, 34. The groove portion 39 is formed, for example, over the entire circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the holding portion 61.

[0121] As Figure 18 shown, a bundling band 91 that functions as a sliding restricting member 90 is housed in the groove portion 39. The groove portion 39 restricts the relative movement of the bundling band 91 with respect to the linear component 30 in the axial direction of the linear component 30.

[0122] ·It is also possible to provide a groove portion on the outer peripheral surface of the bent component 60 in the first embodiment that is the same as the Figure 18 groove portion 39 shown. (Second Embodiment) Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the path restricting member and the wire harness will be described.

[0123] As Figure 21 and Figure 22 shown, in the path restricting member 120 of the present embodiment, Figure 4 the linear component 30 shown is changed to a linear component 130, Figure 4 and the bent component 60 shown is changed to a bent component 160. The path restricting member 120 of the present embodiment is configured by connecting one linear component 130 and one bent component 160. In the path restricting member 120, the linear component 130 and the bent component 160 are connected by a connecting pin 190. Hereinafter, the structures of the linear component 130, the bent component 160, and the connecting pin 190 will be described in detail. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to the same structures in the linear component 130 and the bent component 160 as those in the linear component 30 and the bent component 60, and part or all of the description may be omitted.

[0124] (Structure of the Linear Component 130) As Figure 23 and Figure 24As shown, the linear component 130 includes a holding portion 31 having a bottom wall 32 and side walls 33 and 34, connecting portions 140A and 140B having the same structure, and two connecting portions 150A and 150B having the same structure. The linear component 130 is formed, for example, in a point-symmetrical shape about the central axis of the linear component 130 extending in the Z-axis direction and passing through the center of the linear component 130 on the XY plane.

[0125] As Figure 23 shown, the holding portion 31 includes, for example, reinforcing ribs 38. The holding portion 31 of the present embodiment includes two reinforcing ribs 38. The connecting portion 140A is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 34 at the end portion 36. The connecting portion 140B is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 at the end portion 37. The connecting portion 150A is provided on the side wall 33 at the end portion 36. The connecting portion 150B is provided on the side wall 34 at the end portion 37. The two connecting portions 140A and 140B are provided at positions that are point-symmetrical with respect to each other about the central axis of the linear component 130 extending parallel to the Z-axis direction when viewed from above in the Z-axis direction. The two connecting portions 150A and 150B are provided at positions that are point-symmetrical with respect to each other about the central axis of the linear component 130 extending parallel to the Z-axis direction when viewed from above in the Z-axis direction.

[0126] Next, the specific structure of the connecting portion 140A will be described. In addition, since the connecting portion 140B has the same structure as the connecting portion 140A, the same reference numerals are given to the same structures as those of the connecting portion 140A, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted here.

[0127] The connecting portion 140A has a fixing portion 141 formed integrally with the holding portion 31 and a through hole 142 provided in the fixing portion 141. The connecting portion 140A has, for example, an annular elastic member 143 provided inside the through hole 142.

[0128] As Figure 23 and Figure 24 shown, the fixing portion 141 is continuous with the side wall 34 and formed integrally. The fixing portion 141 is formed, for example, to protrude radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 34 at the end portion 36 toward the holding portion 31. The fixing portion 141 is formed to protrude outward from the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 34 in the axial direction of the holding portion 31. The fixing portion 141 protrudes more outward in the axial direction of the holding portion 31 than the axial end surface of the side wall 34 at the end portion 36. As Figure 21 shown, the fixing portion 141 is configured to be able to cover the outer peripheral surface of the bent component 160 from the outer side in the radial direction of the holding portion 31.

[0129] As Figure 23As shown, the fixing portion 141 is formed in a plate shape, for example. The fixing portion 141 is formed in a plate shape extending along the height direction of the side wall 34 (here, the Z-axis direction) and the axial direction of the holding portion 31 (here, the X-axis direction). The fixing portion 141 extends downward from the upper end of the side wall 34, for example. The length dimension of the fixing portion 141 in the Z-axis direction is smaller than the length dimension of the side wall 34 in the Z-axis direction, for example.

[0130] The through-hole 142 is formed to penetrate the fixing portion 141 in the plate thickness direction (here, the Y-axis direction). The through-hole 142 is provided in a portion of the fixing portion 141 that protrudes more outward than the axial end face of the side wall 34. The through-hole 142 is provided in the middle portion in the height direction (here, the Z-axis direction) of the fixing portion 141. The plan view shape of the through-hole 142 observed from the through direction of the through-hole 142 can be any shape. In the present embodiment, the plan view shape of the through-hole 142 observed from the through direction of the through-hole 142 is formed in a circular shape.

[0131] The elastic member 143 is disposed inside the through-hole 142. The elastic member 143 is configured to be elastically deformable. As the material of the elastic member 143, for example, elastic materials such as rubber and elastomer can be used. The elastic member 143 of the present embodiment is made of rubber.

[0132] The elastic member 143 has an insertion hole 144 into which a connection pin 190 (refer to Figure 22 ) is inserted. The insertion hole 144 is formed to penetrate the elastic member 143. The elastic member 143 is formed in a ring shape by having the insertion hole 144. The elastic member 143 is formed in a ring shape in which the peripheral wall is continuous throughout the entire circumferential direction of the elastic member 143. The outer peripheral shape of the elastic member 143 is formed in a shape corresponding to the inner peripheral shape of the through-hole 142. The inner peripheral shape of the elastic member 143 is formed in a shape corresponding to the outer peripheral shape of the connection pin 190.

[0133] The plan view shape of the insertion hole 144 observed from the through direction of the insertion hole 144 can be any shape. In the present embodiment, the plan view shape of the insertion hole 144 observed from the through direction of the insertion hole 144 is formed in a circular shape.

[0134] The elastic member 143 is, for example, an injection molded body integrally formed with the fixing portion 141. The elastic member 143 is integrally formed with the fixing portion 141 by two-color molding, for example. In this case, the fixing portion 141 and the elastic member 143 can be treated as an integral body. In addition, the elastic member 143 may be formed separately from the fixing portion 141.

[0135] Next, the specific structure of the connecting portion 150A will be described. In addition, since the connecting portion 150B has the same structure as the connecting portion 150A, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same structures as those of the connecting portion 150A, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted here.

[0136] As Figure 23 shown, the connecting portion 150A includes a third recess 151 that is recessed radially inward from the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 at the end portion 36 toward the holding portion 31, and an annular elastic member 152 disposed inside the third recess 151. The third recess 151 of the present embodiment is formed to penetrate the side wall 33 in the thickness direction (here, the Y-axis direction). The third recess 151 is provided at the middle portion in the height direction (here, the Z-axis direction) of the side wall 33. The third recess 151 is provided at the same position as the through hole 142 in the height direction of the side walls 33 and 34.

[0137] The top view shape of the third recess 151 as viewed from the thickness direction of the side wall 33 can be any shape. For example, the top view shape of the third recess 151 is formed to be the same as the top view shape of the through hole 142. In the present embodiment, the top view shape of the third recess 151 as viewed from the thickness direction of the side wall 33 is formed to be circular.

[0138] As Figure 25 shown, the third recess 151 is formed to communicate with the through hole 142 of the bent component 160. The opening width of the third recess 151 is, for example, equal to the opening width of the through hole 142. For example, the inner diameter of the third recess 151 is equal to the inner diameter of the through hole 142.

[0139] The elastic member 152 is disposed inside the third recess 151. The elastic member 152 is configured to be elastically deformable. As the material of the elastic member 152, for example, elastic materials such as rubber and elastomer can be used. The elastic member 152 of the present embodiment is made of rubber.

[0140] The elastic member 152 has an insertion hole 153 into which the connecting pin 190 is inserted. The insertion hole 153 is formed to penetrate the elastic member 152. The elastic member 152 is formed into an annular shape by having the insertion hole 153. The elastic member 152 is formed into an annular shape in which the peripheral wall is continuous throughout the entire circumference of the elastic member 152. The outer peripheral shape of the elastic member 152 is formed to be a shape corresponding to the inner peripheral shape of the third recess 151. The inner peripheral shape of the elastic member 152 is formed to be a shape corresponding to the outer peripheral shape of the connecting pin 190.

[0141] The top view shape of the insertion hole 153 as viewed from the penetrating direction of the insertion hole 153 can be any shape. In the present embodiment, the top view shape of the insertion hole 153 as viewed from the penetrating direction of the insertion hole 153 is formed to be circular.

[0142] The elastic member 152 is, for example, an injection molded body integrally formed with the holding portion 31. The elastic member 152 is integrally formed with the holding portion 31 by, for example, two-color molding. In this case, the holding portion 31 and the elastic member 152 can be treated as an integral object. Additionally, the elastic member 152 may be formed separately from the holding portion 31.

[0143] (Structure of the bending component 160) As Figure 23 and Figure 24 shown, the bending component 160 includes a holding portion 61 having a bottom wall 62 and side walls 63, 64, two connecting portions 170A, 170B having the same structure as each other, and two connecting portions 180A, 180B having the same structure as each other. The holding portion 61 is formed in a bent shape having a bent portion 60R. The holding portion 61 includes, for example, one or more (two in this embodiment) reinforcing ribs 68.

[0144] The connecting portion 170A is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 63 at the end portion 66. The connecting portion 170B is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 64 at the end portion 67. The connecting portion 180A is provided on the side wall 64 at the end portion 66. The connecting portion 180B is provided on the side wall 63 at the end portion 67. At the end portion 66 of the bending component 160, the connecting portion 170A is provided on the side wall 63, and the connecting portion 180A is provided on the side wall 64. On the other hand, at the end portion 67 of the bending component 160, the connecting portion 170B having the same structure as the connecting portion 170A is provided on the side wall 64, and the connecting portion 180B having the same structure as the connecting portion 180A is provided on the side wall 63. The connecting portions 170B, 180B provided at the end portion 67 are formed in a structure in which the structure of the connecting portions 170A, 180A provided at the end portion 66 is rotated by 180°.

[0145] As Figure 23 shown, the two connecting portions 170A, 170B each have the same structure as the connecting portion 140A of the linear component 130. That is, the two connecting portions 170A, 170B each have a fixing portion 141, a through hole 142, and an elastic member 143. The two connecting portions 180A, 180B each have the same structure as the connecting portion 150A of the linear component 130. That is, the two connecting portions 180A, 180B each have a third concave portion 151 and an elastic member 152. Here, the detailed description of the structures of the connecting portions 170A, 170B and the connecting portions 180A, 180B is omitted.

[0146] (Structure of the connecting pin 190) As Figure 25As shown, the path restricting member 120 includes two connecting pins 190. One connecting pin 190 is configured to connect the connecting portion 140A of the straight member 130 and the connecting portion 180A of the bent member 160. One connecting pin 190 is configured to connect the connecting portion 150A of the straight member 130 and the connecting portion 170A of the bent member 160. Hereinafter, the connecting pin 190 that connects the connecting portions 140A and 180A among the two connecting pins 190 will be mainly described. Among them, the connecting pin 190 that connects the connecting portions 150A and 170A will also be described with reference thereto.

[0147] The connecting pin 190 includes a head 191 and a columnar insertion portion 193 that extends from the head 191 and is inserted into the through hole 142 of the connecting portion 140A and the third recess 151 of the connecting portion 180A. The head 191 is formed to have a size that cannot be inserted into the insertion hole 144. The head 191 is formed to have a size that cannot be inserted into the through hole 142. The head 191 has an opposing surface 192 that faces the fixing portion 141. The insertion portion 193 extends from the opposing surface 192 of the head 191 along the through direction of the through hole 142 (here, the Y-axis direction). The insertion portion 193 of the present embodiment is formed in a cylindrical shape. The insertion portion 193 is inserted into the insertion hole 144 of the connecting portion 140A and the insertion hole 153 of the connecting portion 180A.

[0148] The outer diameter of the insertion portion 193 is set to be, for example, equal to or greater than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 144 and equal to or greater than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 153. Thus, when the insertion portion 193 of the connecting pin 190 is pushed into the insertion holes 144 and 153, the elastic members 143 and 152 are elastically deformed so as to be pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 193. The insertion portion 193 is configured to be press-fitted into the insertion holes 144 and 153, for example.

[0149] The length dimension of the insertion portion 193 in the Y-axis direction is set to be, for example, equal to or less than the sum of the length dimensions of the insertion hole 144 in the Y-axis direction and the insertion hole 153 in the Y-axis direction. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately suppress the tip of the insertion portion 193 from protruding more inward than the inner surface of the side wall 64.

[0150] (Connection structure between the straight member 130 and the bent member 160) As Figure 21 and Figure 22 shown, the axial end portion 36 of the bent member 160 is connected to the straight member 130. Specifically, as Figure 22As shown, first, the linear component 130 and the bent component 160 are arranged such that the end portion 66 of the bent component 160 contacts the end portion 36 of the linear component 130. At this time, the fixing portion 141 of the connecting portion 140A is arranged to cover the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 64 of the bent component 160, and the fixing portion 141 of the connecting portion 170A is arranged to cover the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 of the linear component 130. In addition, as Figure 25 shown, the linear component 130 and the bent component 160 are arranged such that the insertion hole 144 of the connecting portion 140A communicates with the insertion hole 153 of the connecting portion 180A, and the insertion hole 144 of the connecting portion 170A communicates with the insertion hole 153 of the connecting portion 150A.

[0151] For bonding, a connecting pin 190 is inserted into the insertion hole 144 of the connecting portion 140A and the insertion hole 153 of the connecting portion 180A. Specifically, the insertion portion 193 of the connecting pin 190 is pushed into the insertion holes 144, 153 of the connecting portions 140A, 180A until the opposing surface 192 of the head 191 of the connecting pin 190 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the fixing portion 141 of the connecting portion 140A. At this time, since the outer diameter of the insertion portion 193 is set to be larger than the inner diameters of the insertion holes 144, 153, the elastic members 143, 152 of the connecting portions 140A, 180A are elastically deformed so as to be pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 193. By the elastic deformation of the elastic members 143, 152, the detachment of the connecting pin 190 from the insertion holes 144, 153 can be suppressed. Moreover, the connecting portion 140A of the linear component 130 and the connecting portion 180A of the bent component 160 are connected by the connecting pin 190.

[0152] Similarly, a connecting pin 190 is inserted into the insertion hole 144 of the connecting portion 170A and the insertion hole 153 of the connecting portion 150A. The connecting portion 150A of the linear component 130 and the connecting portion 170A of the bent component 160 are connected by this connecting pin 190.

[0153] According to the second embodiment described above, in addition to the effects of (1-1), (1-2), (1-3), and (1-9) of the first embodiment, the following effects can also be achieved. (2-1) The path restricting member 120 includes a connecting pin 190 that connects the connecting portion 170A and the connecting portion 150A. The connecting portion 170A has a fixing portion 141 that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 63 along the axial direction of the holding portion 61 and a through hole 142 provided in the fixing portion 141. The connecting portion 150A has a third concave portion 151 that communicates with the through hole 142. The fixing portion 141 engages with the outer peripheral surface of the linear member 130, specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33, in the radial direction of the holding portion 61. The connecting pin 190 has a columnar insertion portion 193 that is inserted into the through hole 142 and the third concave portion 151.

[0154] According to this structure, the insertion portion 193 of the connecting pin 190 is inserted into the through hole 142 of the connecting portion 170A and the third concave portion 151 of the connecting portion 150A. The connecting portion 170A and the connecting portion 150A are connected by the connecting pin 190. In addition, in a state where the connecting portion 170A and the connecting portion 150A are connected, the fixing portion 141 of the connecting portion 170A and the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 33 of the linear member 130 engage with each other in the radial direction of the holding portion 61. Thereby, relative movement of the linear member 130 with respect to the bent member 160 in the radial direction of the holding portion 61 can be appropriately suppressed.

[0155] (2-2) In addition, in a state where the connecting portion 170A and the connecting portion 150A are connected, the insertion portion 193 of the connecting pin 190 and the inner surface of the third concave portion 151 engage with each other in the axial direction of the path restricting member 120. Thereby, relative movement of the linear member 130 with respect to the bent member 160 in the axial direction of the path restricting member 120 can be appropriately suppressed.

[0156] (2-3) The insertion portion 193 of the connecting pin 190 is inserted into the insertion hole 144 of the elastic member 143 provided inside the through hole 142 and the insertion hole 153 of the elastic member 152 provided inside the third concave portion 151. The connecting portion 170A and the connecting portion 150A are connected by the connecting pin 190. At this time, the outer diameter of the insertion portion 193 is set to be equal to or greater than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 144 and equal to or greater than the inner diameter of the insertion hole 153. Therefore, the inner peripheral surface of the elastic member 143 can be appropriately brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 193, and the inner peripheral surface of the elastic member 152 can be appropriately brought into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 193. As a result, detachment of the connecting pin 190 from the insertion hole 144 and the insertion hole 153 can be appropriately suppressed.

[0157] (Modification of the Second Embodiment) The second embodiment can be implemented with the following modifications. The second embodiment and the following modification examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a range where no technical contradiction occurs.

[0158] · The connection structure of the path limiting member 120 in the second embodiment can be appropriately changed. For example, the structure of the connection pin 190 can be appropriately changed. · For example, it can also be as Figure 26 shown, and the connection pin 190 is changed to a structure in which an elastic member 194 with an adhesive is provided on the opposing surface 192 of the head 191. The elastic member 194 with an adhesive is formed to cover the entire surface of the opposing surface 192 exposed from the insertion portion 193, for example.

[0159] As Figure 27 shown, the elastic member 194 with an adhesive is, for example, an elastic member 195 in which an adhesive 196 is infiltrated. The elastic member 195 is configured to be elastically deformable. As the elastic member 195, for example, sponge or rubber can be used. The elastic member 195 in this modification example is a sponge. Since the sponge is porous, the adhesive 196 can be appropriately infiltrated into the interior of the sponge. As the adhesive 196, for example, silicone resin or epoxy resin can be used.

[0160] When the connection pin 190 is pushed into the through hole 142 of the connection portion 140A and the third recess 151 of the connection portion 180A, the elastic member 195 elastically deforms in a manner of being compressed in the insertion direction of the connection pin 190 (here, the Y-axis direction). In this way, the adhesive 196 infiltrated into the elastic member 195 penetrates along the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 193 into the through hole 142 and the third recess 151. Specifically, the adhesive 196 penetrates into the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 193 and the inner surface of the through hole 142, and the adhesive 196 penetrates into the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the insertion portion 193 and the inner surface of the third recess 151. By means of this adhesive 196, the insertion portion 193 is bonded to the connection portion 140A, and the insertion portion 193 is bonded to the connection portion 180A. In this way, the connection portion 140A of the linear component 130 and the connection portion 180A of the bent component 160 are connected by the connection pin 190. Similarly, the connection pin 190 having the elastic member 194 with an adhesive is inserted into the through hole 142 of the connection portion 170A and the third recess 151 of the connection portion 150A. By means of the adhesive 196 of this connection pin 190, the insertion portion 193 is bonded to the connection portion 170A, and the insertion portion 193 is bonded to the connection portion 150A. In summary, the bent component 160 and the linear component 130 are connected and formed into one body.

[0161] According to this structure, the insertion portion 193 of the connection pin 190 is bonded to the connection portion 170A and the connection portion 150A by the adhesive 196. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately prevent the connection pin 190 from detaching from the through hole 142 of the connection portion 170A and the third recess 151 of the connection portion 150A.

[0162] · In Figure 26 andFigure 27 In the illustrated modification example, the elastic members 143 and 152 are omitted, but not limited thereto. For example, in Figure 26 and Figure 27 the illustrated modification example, the connecting portions 140A and 170A may also include the elastic member 143, and the connecting portions 150A and 180A may also include the elastic member 152.

[0163] · In the second embodiment, it is embodied as the connecting pin 190 as the connecting member, but not limited thereto. That is, in the above second embodiment, the connecting portion 140A and the connecting portion 180A are connected by the connecting pin 190, but not limited thereto.

[0164] · For example, as shown in Figure 28 the connecting portion 140A and the connecting portion 180A may be connected by screw fastening. Specifically, the connecting portion 140A and the connecting portion 180A may be connected by screw fastening using the bolt 200 as the male threaded member and the nut 210 as the female threaded member.

[0165] As shown in Figure 29 the nut 210 is disposed inside the third recess 151 of the connecting portion 180A. The nut 210 is formed in a ring shape. The inner circumferential surface of the nut 210 has an internal thread portion capable of being fastened to the bolt 200. The nut 210 is formed integrally with the connecting portion 180A, for example. The nut 210 is formed integrally with the holding portion 61 by insert molding, for example. For example, the holding portion 61 including the connecting portion 180A is formed by insert molding with the nut 210 as an insert.

[0166] As shown in Figure 28 the bolt 200 has a head 201 and a columnar insertion portion 202 extending from the head 201. The outer circumferential surface of the insertion portion 202 has an external thread portion capable of being fastened to the nut 210. The head 201 is formed to have a size that cannot be inserted into the through hole 142. The insertion portion 202 extends along the through direction of the through hole 142 (here, the Y-axis direction). The insertion portion 202 of this modification example is formed in a cylindrical shape. The insertion portion 202 is inserted into the through hole 142 (refer to Figure 29 ) of the connecting portion 140A and the third recess 151 of the connecting portion 180A. The nut 210 is attached to the tip of the insertion portion 202. In this way, by fastening the insertion portion 202 of the bolt 200 to the nut 210 formed integrally with the connecting portion 180A, the connecting portion 140A and the connecting portion 180A are connected and formed into one body.

[0167] Similarly, the connecting portion 170A and the connecting portion 150A may be connected by screw fastening using the bolt 200 and the nut 210. According to this structure, the nut 210 is formed integrally with the connecting portion 180A, and the top end of the insertion portion 202 of the bolt 200 is fastened by the nut 210. The connecting portion 140A and the connecting portion 180A are connected by using the screw fastening of the nut 210 and the bolt 200. Thus, it is possible to appropriately prevent the bolt 200 and the nut 210 as the connecting members from coming off from the through hole 142 of the connecting portion 140A and the third concave portion 151 of the connecting portion 180A. In addition, by removing the bolt 200 from the nut 210, the connected state between the connecting portion 140A and the connecting portion 180A can be easily released.

[0168] · It is also possible to appropriately change Figure 28 and Figure 29 the structure of the through hole 142 of the fixing portion 141 in the modification examples shown. For example, as shown in Figure 30 and Figure 31 it is also possible to form the through hole 142 so as to extend in the height direction (here, the Z-axis direction) of the fixing portion 141. The through hole 142 of this modification example is formed to open downward in the drawing in the Z-axis direction. In other words, the through hole 142 of this modification example is formed to be recessed upward in the drawing from the lower end surface of the fixing portion 141. The through hole 142 of this modification example is formed in a notch shape.

[0169] · As shown in Figure 30 it is also possible to provide a rib 145 on the connecting portion 170A that projects radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the fixing portion 141 toward the holding portion 61. The rib 145 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fixing portion 141 located at the periphery of the through hole 142.

[0170] As shown in Figure 31 the rib 145 is provided at a portion that contacts the head 201 of the bolt 200. In a plan view observed from the through direction (here, the Y-axis direction) of the through hole 142, the rib 145 is formed to surround the through hole 142. In this modification example, the plan view shape of the rib 145 observed from the Y-axis direction is formed in a U shape.

[0171] According to this structure, the rib 145 is provided at a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the fixing portion 141 that contacts the head 201 of the bolt 200. The rigidity of the fixing portion 141 can be increased by this rib 145. Therefore, when the bolt 200 is fastened to the nut 210, it is possible to appropriately prevent cracks, etc. from occurring in the fixing portion 141 due to this fastening force.

[0172] · It is also possible to omit Figure 30 and Figure 31 the rib 145 in the modification examples shown. · It is also possible to Figure 28 and Figure 29The fixed part 141 shown is provided with ribs 145. In this case, when viewed from above in the penetrating direction of the through hole 142, the ribs 145 may also be formed to surround the through hole 142 throughout the entire circumferential direction. The ribs 145 in this case are formed in a cylindrical shape, for example.

[0173] ·In Figures 28 to 31 In the modified example shown, the nut 210 is provided only inside the third recess 151, but it is not limited thereto. For example, the nut 210 may also be provided inside the third recess 151 and inside the through hole 142. For example, the nut 210 may also be provided only inside the through hole 142.

[0174] ·In Figures 28 to 31 In the modified example shown, the nut 210 is formed integrally with the connecting portion 180A, but the bolt 200 may also be formed integrally with the connecting portion 180A. In this case, for example, the tip of the insertion portion 202 of the bolt 200 is made to protrude more outward than the outer peripheral surface of the fixed part 141. And the nut 210 is fastened to the tip of the insertion portion 202. At this time, the nut 210 is formed to be of a size that cannot be inserted into the through hole 142.

[0175] ·In Figures 28 to 31 In the modified example shown, when an internal thread portion is formed in either the third recess 151 or the through hole 142, the nut 210 may be omitted. ·In the second embodiment and the above-described various modified examples, the third recess 151 is formed to penetrate the side walls 33, 34, 63, 64 in the thickness direction, but it is not limited thereto.
