Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An object of the present invention is to provide a wiring harness attaching structure aiming at improvement in attaching workability and aiming at thinning of a vehicle door. Provided is a wiring harness attaching structure for attaching a wiring harness to a vehicle interior outer surface of a door trim constituting a vehicle door. The wiring harness is a flat cable whose width dimension is longer than a thickness dimension, is located inside a structure body containing gas phase, and is provided integrally with the structure body containing gas phase. The structure body containing gas phase is attached along the vehicle interior outer surface of the door trim. The wiring harness is attached to the door trim together with the structure body containing gas phase.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A wiring harness attaching structure for attaching a wiring harness to a vehicle interior outer surface of a door trim constituting a vehicle door, wherein the wiring harness is a flat cable whose width dimension is longer than a thickness dimension or an electric wire formed in a flat shape, is located inside a structure body containing gas phase, and is provided integrally with the structure body containing gas phase, the structure body containing gas phase is attached along the vehicle interior outer surface of the door trim, and the wiring harness is attached to the door trim together with the structure body containing gas phase, wherein the structure body containing gas phase includes an expanded sheet configured to include an expanded body, wherein the expanded sheet is configured to include one or more layers having at least one of a low expansion layer made of a low expansion expanded material having a relatively low expansion ratio and a high expansion layer made of a high expansion expanded material having a higher expansion ratio than that of the low expansion layer, and wherein the wiring harness is buried between the low expansion layer and the high expansion layer. 2. The wiring harness attaching structure according to claim 1 , wherein the expanded sheet is fixed to the door trim by causing a fixing portion formed on the vehicle interior outer surface of the door trim and a fixed portion formed in the expanded sheet to engage with each other, and the expanded sheet comes in close contact with the vehicle interior outer surface of the door trim at least around the fixing portion and the fixed portion. 3. The wiring harness attaching structure according to claim 1 , wherein the expanded sheet in a state in which the wiring harness is located therein is molded by filling and then curing an uncured expanded material into a mold housing the wiring harness.
