Abstract

A wire routing member includes a cylindrical main body that is arranged at an end of an exterior cladding member collectively covering a plurality of wires. Partitioning walls that partition routing spaces for the respective wires are provided inside the main body, each partitioning wall projecting in a cantilever shape radially inward from an inner circumferential surface of the main body. The routing spaces are continuous with each other via a space at which inner ends of the partitioning walls face each other, such that the wires can pass through the space at which the inner ends of the partitioning walls face each other. The main body includes a split groove through which the wires can be inserted into one of the plurality of routing spaces.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wire routing member comprising:
a cylindrical main body that is arranged at an end of an exterior cladding member collectively covering a plurality of wires and has the respective wires inserted therethrough, wherein:
partitioning walls that partition routing spaces for the respective wires are provided inside the main body, each partitioning wall projecting in a cantilever shape radially inward from an inner circumferential surface of the main body;
the routing spaces are continuous with each other via a space at which inner ends of the partitioning walls face each other, such that the wires can pass through the space at which the inner ends of the partitioning walls face each other;
the main body includes a split groove through which the wires can be inserted into one of the plurality of routing spaces;
the main body is provided with a tongue piece that protrudes along a drawn-out direction of the respective wires; and
the wire routing member further comprising a fastener that fixes the wires to the tongue piece.

2. A wire routing structure comprising:
the wire routing member according to claim 1 , and
a pipe that is connected to an end of the exterior cladding member and is held in a device, wherein:
the main body is internally fit to the pipe and is provided at its outer circumference with a fixing section that fixes to the pipe.

3. The wire routing structure according to claim 2 , wherein:
the pipe and the device are made of conductive material, and the pipe comprises a ground pipe connected to a shield member.

4. The wire routing structure according to claim 2 , wherein the fixing section comprises a protrusion that engages with a hole in the pipe.

5. The wire routing structure according to claim 2 , wherein the protrusion is on a cantilevered elastic piece that deflects relative to a wall of the main body.
