[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2013-239419 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] [Description of the embodiments of the present disclosure] First, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.

[0010] The hose-attached wiring member of the present disclosure is as follows.

[0011] (1) A wiring member with a hose, comprising: a linear transmission member; a sheet extending along the wiring path of the linear transmission member and having the linear transmission member fixed onto a holding surface; and a hose fixed onto the holding surface of the sheet. The linear transmission member and the hose are integrated by being fixed to the sheet. This makes it difficult for the linear transmission member and the hose to interfere with each other, and the hose and the wiring member can be integrated with a simple configuration without crushing the flow path of the hose.

[0012] (2) In the wiring member with a hose of (1), the sheet and the hose may be directly fixed to each other at the contact area, thereby allowing the sheet and the hose to be easily fixed to each other without using any other member.

[0013] (3) In the wiring member with a hose of (2), the sheet and the linear transmission member may be directly fixed to each other at the contact area, so that the sheet and the linear transmission member can be integrated in the same manner as the sheet and the hose.

[0014] (4) In the wiring member with a hose according to any one of (1) to (3), the hose may be disposed on one outer edge of the sheet, and a plurality of the linear transmission members may be disposed on the other outer edge of the sheet, thereby preventing the linear transmission members and the hose from crossing each other.

[0015] (5) In the wiring member with a hose of (4), a part of the plurality of linear transmission members may be branched at the other outer edge, thereby preventing the linear transmission members and the hose from crossing each other at the branched portion.

[0016] (6) In the wiring member with a hose of (4) or (5), the sheet may be provided with a bending path portion that bends so that the one outer edge is more outer than the other outer edge. This allows the hose to be positioned more outer than the linear transmission member in the bending path portion, and prevents the radius of curvature of the hose from becoming smaller.

[0017] (7) In the wiring member with a hose according to any one of (1) to (3), the linear transmission member and the hose may cross on the sheet. Even when the linear transmission member and the hose cross on the sheet, the linear transmission member and the hose are fixed to the sheet in a crossed state in advance, thereby preventing the hose from being crushed.

[0018] [Details of the embodiment of the present disclosure] Specific examples of the hose-attached wiring member of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to these examples, but is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.

[0019] [Embodiment 1] Hereinafter, a description will be given of the wiring member with a hose according to embodiment 1. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the wiring member with a hose 10 according to embodiment 1. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing the wiring member with a hose 10 according to embodiment 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in Fig. 2.

[0020] The hose-attached wiring member 10 comprises a linear transmission member 20, a sheet 30, and a hose 40. The sheet 30 extends along the wiring path of the linear transmission member 20. The linear transmission member 20 is fixed onto the holding surface of the sheet 30. The hose 40 is also fixed onto the holding surface of the sheet 30. The hose 40 extends along the linear transmission member 20 in at least a portion of the section. The portion where the linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40 are parallel is fixed to the sheet 30. As a result, the linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40 are held in a parallel state (integrated state) via the sheet 30.

[0021] The hose-attached wiring member 10 of this example is described as having a portion disposed in the space between a roof panel 60 and a roof liner 62 (roof space). The roof panel 60 and the roof liner 62 are located at the upper part of the passenger compartment and form the ceiling of the vehicle. The roof panel 60 is a member that is exposed to the outside of the vehicle and forms the exterior of the vehicle. The roof liner 62 is a member that is exposed to the inside of the vehicle and forms the interior of the vehicle. The roof liner 62 is also sometimes called a roof lining, roof trim, etc.

[0022] The linear transmission member 20 is a linear member that transmits electricity or light. It is assumed that the linear transmission member 20 is a member that connects components in a vehicle. The linear transmission member 20 includes a transmission line body 22 and a coating layer 24. The transmission line body 22 is a transmission path that transmits electricity or light. For example, when the linear transmission member 20 is an electric wire, the transmission line body 22 is a conductor core wire. The conductor core wire is composed of one or more strands. The strands are formed of copper, copper alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy, or the like. Also, when the linear transmission member 20 is an optical fiber, the transmission line body 22 is a core and clad. The coating layer 24 is a layer that covers the transmission line body 22. The resin material that constitutes the coating layer 24 is not particularly limited and can be set appropriately. For example, the linear transmission member 20 may be a general electric wire having a core wire and a coating layer around the core wire, or may be a shielded wire, a twisted wire, an enamel wire, a nichrome wire, an optical fiber, or the like.

[0023] The linear transmission member 20 that transmits electricity may be any of various signal lines and various power lines. A part of the linear transmission member 20 that transmits electricity may be used as an antenna, a coil, or the like that transmits a signal or power to or receives it from space.

[0024] Furthermore, the linear transmission member 20 may be a single-core wire. A single-core wire is a single linear object. A single-core wire is a linear transmission member with one transmission path. The linear transmission member 20 may be a multi-core wire. A multi-core wire is a composite of multiple linear objects. A multi-core wire is a linear transmission member with multiple transmission paths. A multi-core wire may be, for example, a twisted wire, a cable in which multiple linear objects are assembled and covered with a sheath, or the like.

[0025] The sheet 30 is not particularly limited in material, structure, etc., as long as it can fix the linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40. Regarding the material constituting the sheet 30, the sheet 30 is formed of a resin material here. The material constituting the sheet 30 may be a material other than resin, such as a metal or an inorganic material.

[0026] Here, an example is described in which the sheet 30 has a two-layer structure including a first layer 32 and a second layer 34. The sheet 30 may have a one-layer structure or a multi-layer structure of three or more layers. The first layer 32 is a fusion layer 32. The linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40 are fusion-fixed to the fusion layer 32. The fusion layer 32 contains a resin material, preferably a thermoplastic resin material. The resin material of the fusion layer 32 softens and is fused to the fusion partner. The type of such resin material is not particularly limited, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc. can be used.

[0027] The structure of the fusion layer 32 is not particularly limited. For example, the fusion layer 32 may be a sheet having a uniform solid cross section (also called a non-foamed sheet or solid sheet). For example, the fusion layer 32 may be a foamed sheet or the like. For example, the fusion layer 32 may be a fibrous sheet such as a knitted fabric, a woven fabric, or a non-woven fabric. One surface of the first layer 32 is one main surface of the sheet 30.

[0028] The second layer 34 is an additional layer 34. The additional layer 34 is formed of a different material or has a different structure from the fusion layer 32. The additional layer 34 enhances the function of the fusion layer 32 or adds a function not present in the fusion layer 32 to the sheet 30. The material constituting the second layer 34 may be a metal, an inorganic material, or the like in addition to the materials described for the fusion layer 32 above. The structure of the second layer 34 may be any of the structures described for the fusion layer 32 above. One surface of the second layer 34 is the other main surface of the sheet 30.

[0029] The first layer 32 and the second layer 34 are fixed together while the other surface of the first layer 32 and the other surface of the second layer 34 are in contact with each other. The manner in which the first layer 32 and the second layer 34 are fixed together is not particularly limited, but they may be fixed together by fusion or adhesion. For example, if at least one of the first layer 32 and the second layer 34 is a sheet having voids on the surface, such as a fiber material sheet or a foam sheet, a resin material or adhesive can be inserted into the voids to fix them together. This produces a so-called anchor effect, and the first layer 32 and the second layer 34 are firmly fixed together.

[0030] Here, the first layer 32 is described as a solid sheet made of resin, and the second layer 34 is described as a fibrous sheet. Here, the first layer 32 and the second layer 34 are described as being fused together. That is, the resin of the first layer 32 penetrates between the fibers of the second layer 34 while in a fluid state, and is then cured. This maintains the state in which the resin of the first layer 32 penetrates between the fibers of the second layer 34, and the first layer 32 and the second layer 34 are firmly fixed together.

[0031] The first layer 32 and the second layer 34 may be formed to have the same size (same planar shape). One of the first layer 32 and the second layer 34 may be formed to be larger than the other. The first layer 32 and the second layer 34 are fixed over the entire area where they contact. The first layer 32 and the second layer 34 may be fixed over only a part of the area where they contact.

[0032] The sheet 30 may be a soft member. For example, the first layer 32 is a solid sheet made of a soft resin such as soft PVC, and the second layer 34 is a nonwoven fabric made of PET, so that the sheet is a soft member. For example, the sheet 30 may have flexibility that can follow the bending of the linear transmission member 20. The wiring member may be capable of bending in the thickness direction (bending such that the folds follow the holding surface of the sheet 30).

[0033] The paths of the multiple linear transmission members 20 are set according to the positions of the components to which they are connected. By fixing the multiple linear transmission members 20 to the sheet 30, the multiple linear transmission members 20 are maintained along the wiring paths according to the positions of the components to which they are connected. The paths of the multiple linear transmission members 20 may be configured by a combination of straight paths and curved paths. The sheet 30 may also be configured by a combination of straight paths and curved paths. The multiple linear transmission members 20 may be fixed to the sheet 30 in a manner in which the branch lines branch off from the trunk line. The sheet 30 may also be formed in a shape in which the part to which the branch lines are fixed branches off from the part to which the trunk line is fixed. Here, the multiple linear transmission members 20 are curved on the sheet 30. The multiple linear transmission members 20 are also branched on the sheet 30.

[0034] The hose 40 has a flow path through which the fluid can pass. The hose 40 is bendable. The hose 40 can bend while maintaining the flow path when bent within a range in which bending does not occur. The hose 40 may be made of an elastomer having elasticity, such as EPDM. The hose 40 may be configured to be flexible by using a resin material such as soft PVC. In this example, it is assumed that the fluid passing through the hose 40 is a liquid. The fluid may be a gas. In this example, it is assumed that the liquid is windshield washer fluid. The liquid may be a liquid other than washer fluid.

[0035] The hose 40 in this example is assumed to be a washer hose 40 that connects a washer fluid storage section (washer tank) and a washer nozzle. It is also assumed that the washer tank and the washer nozzle are arranged separately in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. For example, the washer tank may be arranged at the front of the vehicle (forward of the passenger compartment) and the washer nozzle may be arranged at the rear of the vehicle (rear of the passenger compartment) for a rear window. The washer tank may be arranged in a front room such as an engine room. The washer nozzle may be arranged around the rear window together with a rear wiper, for example. The washer fluid reaches the washer nozzle from the washer tank through the washer hose 40. The washer fluid is then discharged from the washer nozzle toward the rear window.

[0036] The hose 40 is disposed so as to traverse the vehicle in the front-rear direction. The hose 40 passes through the roof interior space and straddles the passenger compartment in the front-rear direction. More specifically, the hose 40 extends from the washer tank along the A-pillar toward the roof interior space. The hose 40 traverses the roof interior space and extends to a washer nozzle disposed behind the passenger compartment. The path of the hose 40 at the rear of the vehicle is appropriately set depending on the vehicle model or whether the rear window is incorporated in the back door. For example, the hose 40 may be disposed so as to extend directly from the roof interior space to the exterior space at the rear of the vehicle, or may be disposed so as to descend along the C-pillar. One end or the other end of the hose 40 may be connected to a joint. Another hose connected to the joint may extend to the washer tank or the washer nozzle.

[0037] A linear transmission member 20 is also arranged in the roof interior space. The linear transmission member 20 may include, for example, a linear transmission member 20A for the roof equipment 64 that is connected to equipment (roof equipment 64) arranged on the roof. The roof equipment 64 may be, for example, a lamp, an antenna, or the like. The roof equipment 64 is arranged at a predetermined position in the roof interior space. The linear transmission member 20A branches off from the hose 40 on the sheet 30 and extends to a connection position with the roof equipment 64. The linear transmission member 20A may be connected to the roof equipment 64 via a connector 26 or the like provided at the end. The linear transmission member 20A is parallel to the hose 40 from the first end of the sheet 30 to the branching position.

[0038] The linear transmission member 20 may include a linear transmission member 20B for a rear device that is connected to a device disposed at the rear of the vehicle. The rear device may be a rear wiper device or the like. The linear transmission member 20B may be parallel to the hose 40 from the first end to the second end of the seat 30. The linear transmission member 20B may extend outward from the roof space together with the hose 40. Note that here, the path of the hose 40 from the first end to the second end of the seat 30 is a straight path.

[0039] The linear transmission members 20A, 20B may be bundled in a circular bundle by a bundling member 50 in the portion extending along the A-pillar. The bundling member 50 may be a tape, a cable tie, or the like. Near the first end of the seat 30, the circular bundle portion 28 is unbound and moved to an arrangement on the seat 30. The unbound portion of the circular bundle portion 28 may be on the seat 30 or outside the seat 30. The hose 40 may extend along the A-pillar together with the circular bundle portion 28. The hose 40 may be bundled together in the circular bundle portion 28 by the bundling member 50. The linear transmission members 20A, 20B and the hose 40 may not be bundled in a circular shape. The linear transmission members 20A, 20B and the hose 40 may extend along the A-pillar while being fixed to the seat 30.

[0040] On the holding surface of the sheet 30, a hose 40 is arranged on one outer edge of the sheet 30, and a plurality of linear transmission members 20 are arranged on the other outer edge of the sheet 30. At the other outer edge, some of the plurality of linear transmission members 20 are branched. Accordingly, the sheet 30 is also branched. In this example, the hose 40 and the linear transmission members 20 do not intersect on the sheet 30. In this example, the hose 40 and the linear transmission members 20 are arranged apart on the sheet 30.

[0041] The thickness of the hose 40 is, for example, 2 to 8 millimeters. The linear transmission member 20 fixed onto the sheet 30 together with the hose 40 is, for example, a power line or a signal line for low voltage (for example, 12 volts) and is usually thinner than the hose 40. The linear transmission member 20 fixed onto the sheet 30 together with the hose 40 may include a linear transmission member 20 having a thickness equal to or greater than that of the hose 40.

[0042] The portion of the linear transmission member 20B extending toward the rear of the vehicle may be bound in a circular bundle by a binding member. The binding member may be a tape or a cable tie, etc. The circular bundle portion is unbound near the second end of the seat 30 and moved to an arrangement on the seat 30. The portion of the circular bundle portion from which the binding is unbound may be on the seat 30 or outside the seat 30. The hose 40 may extend toward the rear of the vehicle together with the circular bundle portion of the linear transmission member 20B. The hose 40 may be bound together with the circular bundle portion of the linear transmission member 20B by a binding member. The linear transmission member 20B and the hose 40 may not be bound in a circular shape. The linear transmission member 20B and the hose 40 may extend toward the rear of the vehicle while being fixed to the seat 30.

[0043] The fixing manner of the sheet 30 and the linear transmission member 20 may be fixed at the contact portion, may be fixed at the non-contact portion, or may be a combination of both. Similarly, the fixing manner of the sheet 30 and the hose 40 may be fixed at the contact portion, may be fixed at the non-contact portion, or may be a combination of both. Hereinafter, the linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40 fixed to the sheet 30 may be collectively referred to as the fixing objects 20, 40. Herein, the fixing at the contact portion means that the contact portions of the sheet 30 and the fixing objects 20, 40 are attached and fixed. Also, the fixing at the non-contact portion means a fixing manner that is not fixed at the contact portion, and for example, a sewing thread, a cover, an adhesive tape, or the like is used to hold the fixing objects 20, 40 toward the sheet 30, or to sandwich the sheet 30 and the fixing objects 20, 40 together, and maintains the state.

[0044] The manner of fixing the contact parts may be indirect fixing of the contact parts, direct fixing of the contact parts, or both may be used in different regions. Here, indirect fixing of the contact parts refers to the sheet 30 and the objects 20, 40 being indirectly attached and fixed via an adhesive, pressure sensitive adhesive, double-sided adhesive tape, or the like provided between them. Direct fixing of the contact parts refers to the sheet 30 and the objects 20, 40 being directly attached and fixed without using an adhesive or the like provided separately. In direct fixing of the contact parts, for example, it is considered that the resin contained in at least one of the sheet 30 and the objects 20, 40 is melted to stick and fix them.

[0045] When such a state of direct fixation of the contact regions is formed, the resin may be melted by, for example, heat or a solvent. That is, the state of direct fixation of the contact regions may be a state of direct fixation of the contact regions by heat or a state of direct fixation of the contact regions by a solvent. Preferably, the state of direct fixation of the contact regions is a state of direct fixation of the contact regions by heat.

[0046] In this case, the means for forming the state of direct fixation of the contact parts is not particularly limited, and known means such as fusion can be used. For example, when forming the state of direct fixation of the contact parts by heat through fusion, various fusion means such as ultrasonic fusion, heat and pressure fusion, hot air fusion, and high frequency fusion can be used. Furthermore, when the state of direct fixation of the contact parts is formed by these means, the sheet 30 and the objects to be fixed 20, 40 are in a state of direct fixation of the contact parts by that means. Specifically, for example, when the state of direct fixation of the contact parts is formed by ultrasonic fusion, the sheet 30 and the objects to be fixed 20, 40 are in a state of direct fixation of the contact parts by ultrasonic fusion. Therefore, the above fusion fixation is one aspect of direct fixation of the contact parts.

[0047] Here, the sheet 30 and the hose 40 are directly fixed to each other at their contact areas. The sheet 30 and the linear transmission member 20 are also directly fixed to each other at their contact areas. In this case, the outermost layers of the objects to be fixed 20, 40 and the fusion layer 32 are fused to each other.

[0048] The outermost layer of the linear transmission member 20 is the covering layer 24. The covering layer 24 is made of a material that can be fused to the fusion layer 32. The resin material constituting the covering layer 24 may be of the same type as the resin material constituting the fusion layer 32. For example, the resin material constituting the fusion layer 32 and the resin material constituting the covering layer 24 are PVC or polyolefin.

[0049] In the hose 40, the hose 40 itself is the outermost layer of the hose 40. The hose 40 is made of a material that can be fused to the fusion layer 32. When the hose 40 is made of EPDM as described above, the resin material of the fusion layer 32 may mainly melt and adhere to the outer surface of the hose 40. When the hose 40 is made of PVC or the like as described above, in addition to the resin material of the fusion layer 32, the resin material of the hose 40 may also melt and adhere to each other. When the resin material of the hose 40 and the resin material of the fusion layer 32 are of the same type, the melted materials of the resin material of the fusion layer 32 and the resin material of the hose 40 may be mixed together.

[0050] The fixing portions (fused portions) between the sheet 30 and the linear transmission member 20 may be provided at intervals along the extension direction of the linear transmission member 20. Similarly, the fixing portions (fused portions) between the sheet 30 and the hose 40 may be provided at intervals along the extension direction of the hose 40. The intervals between these fixing portions are not particularly limited and can be set appropriately. The intervals between the fixing portions between the sheet 30 and the linear transmission member 20 and the intervals between the fixing portions between the sheet 30 and the hose 40 may be the same or different. For example, when the linear transmission member 20 includes a single-core signal line, the single-core signal line is a relatively thin line and therefore is more easily bent than the hose 40. In this case, in a straight section where the single-core signal line and the hose 40 are parallel to each other, the fixing interval between the sheet 30 and the single-core signal line may be smaller than the fixing interval between the sheet 30 and the hose 40. However, the fixing portions between the sheet 30 and the linear transmission member 20 may be provided continuously along the extension direction of the linear transmission member 20. Similarly, the fixed portion between the sheet 30 and the hose 40 may be provided continuously along the extension direction of the hose 40 .

[0051] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a process for manufacturing the hose-attached wiring member 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0052] In the example shown in FIG. 4, the hose 40 and the sheet 30 are fused together by an ultrasonic fusion device. The ultrasonic fusion device has a horn 80 and an anvil 82. The horn 80 applies ultrasonic vibrations to the parts to be fused. This causes the parts to be fused to heat up and soften. The horn 80 can locally apply ultrasonic vibrations to the parts to be fused. This can suppress heat generation in the parts not to be fused. The anvil 82, together with the horn 80, clamps the two members to be fused. Usually, the parts to be fused generate heat mainly around the parts clamped while being pressed between the horn 80 and the anvil 82.

[0053] For example, the hose 40 is accommodated in a groove 83 formed in an anvil 82. This prevents the horn 80 and the anvil 82 from pressing the hose 40 too hard. The depth of the groove 83 is equal to or greater than the diameter of the hose 40. With the sheet 30 pressed and sandwiched between the horn 80 and the top of the side wall of the groove 83, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the sheet 30 from the horn 80. The sheet 30 starts to soften from the side portion of the hose 40. Then, the softened portion reaches the hose 40 while filling the gap between the inner surface of the groove 83 and the hose 40, and is bonded to the hose 40. This allows the sheet 30 and the hose 40 to be fixed together without crushing the flow path of the hose 40 as much as possible.

[0054] The holding surface of the sheet 30 before fusion is a flat surface. The holding surface of the sheet 30 after fusion may have an uneven shape. As shown in FIG. 3, the sheet 30 may have a convex portion 36 and a concave portion 38 around the hose 40. The convex portion 36 and the concave portion 38 are uneven portions along the thickness direction of the sheet 30. The convex portion 36 is provided at a portion where the hose 40 and the sheet 30 overlap. The convex portion 36 is a portion where the holding surface is raised to fill a gap between the flat holding surface before fusion and the hose 40. For example, the convex portion 36 is formed by the softened material of the sheet 30 entering the groove 83. The concave portion 38 is provided on the side of the convex portion 36. The concave portion 38 is a portion where the holding surface is recessed by supplying material from another portion of the holding surface toward the convex portion 36 in order to raise the holding surface and provide the convex portion 36. The recesses 38 can be considered as marks made when the holding surface is pressed by the top of the side wall of the groove 83. Depending on the fusion conditions (output of the horn 80, shape of the anvil 82, pressure of the press, etc.), there may be cases where the protrusions 36 and recesses 38 are not provided.

[0055] The fusion of the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet 30 may also be performed using an ultrasonic fusion device. A groove 83 may also be formed in the anvil 82 used for fusing the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet 30. With the linear transmission member 20 accommodated in the groove 83, the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet 30 may be pressed against the horn 80 and the anvil 82 to perform ultrasonic fusion. The groove 83 formed in the anvil 82 may be sized according to the diameter of the linear transmission member 20. A protrusion 36 and a recess 38 may also be provided in the fusion portion between the linear transmission member 20 and the sheet 30.

[0056] <Effects, etc.> According to the wiring member with hose 10 configured as described above, the linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40 are integrated by being fixed to the sheet 30. This makes it difficult for the linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40 to interfere with each other, and the flow path of the hose 40 is prevented from collapsing as much as possible, and the hose 40 and the wiring member can be integrated with a simple configuration.

[0057] In addition, the sheet 30 and the hose 40 are directly fixed to each other at the contact area. This allows the sheet 30 and the hose 40 to be easily fixed to each other without using any other member. In addition, the sheet 30 and the linear transmission member 20 are directly fixed to each other at the contact area. This allows the sheet 30 and the linear transmission member 20 to be integrated in the same manner as the sheet 30 and the hose 40.

[0058] In addition, the hose 40 is disposed on one outer edge of the sheet 30, and a plurality of linear transmission members 20 are disposed on the other outer edge of the sheet 30. This prevents the linear transmission members 20 and the hoses 40 from intersecting with each other.

[0059] Also, at the other outer edge, a portion of the plurality of linear transmission members 20 branches off. This prevents the linear transmission members 20 and the hose 40 from intersecting at the branched portion as well.

[0060] [Variations] FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a first modified example of the hose-attached wiring member 10. As shown in FIG.

[0061] The hose-attached wiring member 110 according to the first modified example differs from the hose-attached wiring member 10 in that a bending path portion is provided in the sheet 130. In the bending path portion, the sheet 130 is bent so that one outer edge on which the hose 40 is arranged is more outer than the other outer edge on which the multiple linear transmission members 20 are arranged. This allows the hose 40 to be arranged more outer than the linear transmission members 20 in the bending path portion, and prevents the radius of curvature of the hose 40 from becoming smaller. This makes it difficult for the hose 40 to bend.

[0062] FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a second modified example of the hose-attached wiring member 10. As shown in FIG.

[0063] The wiring member with hose 210 according to the second modified example differs from the wiring members with hose 10, 110 in that the hose 40 and the linear transmission member 20 cross on the sheet 30. Even when the linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40 cross on the sheet 30 as in the wiring member with hose 210 of this example, the linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40 are fixed to the sheet 30 in a crossed state in advance, thereby preventing the hose 40 from being crushed.

[0064] At the intersection between the linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40, the linear transmission member 20 may be lower than the hose 40 (on the seat 30 side). When the linear transmission member 20 is lower than the hose 40, the path length of the linear transmission member 20 is prevented from becoming too long to pass over the hose 40. At the intersection between the linear transmission member 20 and the hose 40, the hose 40 may be lower than the linear transmission member 20. When the hose 40 is lower than the linear transmission member 20, the linear transmission member 20 can press the hose 40 toward the seat 30.

[0065] 6, the linear transmission members 20 may also cross each other on the sheet 30. The linear transmission members 20 do not have to cross each other on the sheet 30.

[0066] Further, although it has been described so far that the hose 40 is arranged on one outer edge of the sheet 30 and the multiple linear transmission members 20 are arranged on the other outer edge of the sheet 30, this is not a required configuration. The hose 40 may be arranged in the middle along the width direction of the sheet 30. The linear transmission members 20 may be arranged on both sides of the hose 40. The linear transmission members 20A may be arranged on both sides of the hose 40. In this case, the linear transmission member 20A on at least one side intersects with the hose 40 on the sheet 30. The linear transmission member 20A may be arranged on one side of the hose 40, and the linear transmission member 20B may be arranged on the other side of the hose 40. In this case, there may be cases where the hose 40 does not intersect with the linear transmission members 20A and 20B on the sheet 30.

[0067] Further, although an example in which the hose-attached wiring member 10 is disposed in the space within the roof has been described above, this is not a required configuration. The hose-attached wiring member 10 may be disposed in a space other than the space within the roof. For example, the hose-attached wiring member 10 may be disposed in the space between a floor panel and a carpet.

[0068] The configurations described in the above embodiments and modifications can be combined as appropriate as long as they are not mutually inconsistent. [Explanation of symbols]
