Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wire harness including a conductive portion that can be electrically connected to a device that is located midway along the routing path. A wire harness includes a conductive portion extending along a routing path to form a circuit. The conductive portion is formed of a single-core wire or a pipe. A branch connection portion configured to be flat against a portion of the conductive portion that is adjacent thereto is provided in the conductive portion midway in an extension direction thereof. A branching wire is connected to the branch connection portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A wire harness, comprising: a conductive portion extending along a routing path to form a circuit, wherein the conductive portion includes a branch connection portion and is formed of a single-core wire or a pipe that is bendable, and wherein the branch connection portion is provided in the conductive portion midway in an extension direction thereof and includes a flat surface that is formed via compression in a radial direction of the conductive portion at the branch connection portion; and a branching wire that includes a wire separate from the single-core wire or the pipe of the conductive portion and a flat connection body portion that is disposed at a first end of the branching wire, the flat connection body portion of the branching wire being connected to the flat surface of the branch connection portion. 2. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the branch connection portion includes two bulged portions that are disposed on axially opposite sides of the flat surface of the branch connection portion and that are formed via the compression in the radial direction of the conductive portion at the branch connection portion. 3. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the conductive portion excluding the branch connection portion is covered by an insulating tube, and the branch connection portion is exposed. 4. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive portion is configured to form a ground circuit. 5. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the branch connection portion is conductive.
