Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a wiring structure that can manage a protruding length of a led-out portion of an electrical wire so as to be constant. The wiring structure includes: a wiring member that is made of resin and has a wiring surface; and an electrical wire that includes a portion routed along the wiring surface and a portion led out from the wiring surface, the portion led out having an end portion to which a connector is to be attached. A positioning/fixing portion is provided integrally with the wiring member at a position in the vicinity of a lead-out position on the wiring surface of the wiring member, the electrical wire being led out from the lead-out position.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wiring structure comprising: a wiring member that is made of resin and has a wiring surface; and an electrical wire that includes a portion routed along the wiring surface and a portion led out from the wiring member, the portion led out having an end portion to which a connector is to be attached, wherein a positioning/fixing portion is provided integrally with the wiring member at a position in the vicinity of a lead-out position on the wiring surface of the wiring member, the electrical wire being led out from the lead-out position, the wiring structure further comprises a band member that includes a band body portion that is wound around an outer circumferential surface of the electrical wire, and a base portion that has a lock hole through which the band body portion is inserted and that locks the band body portion, and the positioning/fixing portion has an insertion space that is located inside walls that stand upright on the wiring surface and into which the base portion is fitted, and has a coupling member holding piece that stands upright and extends in a top-bottom direction from the wiring surface side and a slit is disposed between the coupling member holding piece and a side wall so as to make the coupling member holding piece bendable so as to pivot about the wiring surface side, and a standing end of the coupling member holding piece is provided with an anti-separation protrusion that is claw-shaped and protrudes toward the insertion space. 2. A wiring structure comprising: a wiring member that is made of resin and has a wiring surface; and an electrical wire that includes a portion routed along the wiring surface and a portion led out from the wiring member, the portion led out having an end portion to which a connector is to be attached, wherein a positioning/fixing portion is provided integrally with the wiring member at a position in the vicinity of a lead-out position on the wiring surface of the wiring member, the electrical wire being led out from the lead-out position, and the positioning/fixing portion has an electrical wire winding portion that stands upright on the wiring surface, an insertion port through which the electrical wire is inserted toward the electrical wire winding portion, and an electrical wire holding piece that is bendable and from which a flange protrudes toward the insertion port.
