Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wiring member includes: a main line portion in which a plurality of electric wires are gathered; a plurality of branch line portions formed by branching the plurality of electric wires from an end portion of the main line portion; a water sealing portion that closes a gap between the plurality of branch line portions at a branch portion where the plurality of branch line portions branch from the end portion of the main line portion; and a resin portion molded to cover the water sealing portion in a state in which the resin portion is in close contact with an outer peripheral portion of the main line portion adjacent to the branch portion and outer peripheral portions of the plurality of branch line portions adjacent to the branch portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wiring member, comprising: a main line portion in which a plurality of electric wires are gathered, the main line portion includes a sheath that covers the plurality of electric wires, the sheath including an end portion; a plurality of branch line portions formed by branching the plurality of electric wires from an end portion of the main line portion; a water sealing portion that closes a gap between the plurality of branch line portions at a branch portion where the plurality of branch line portions branch from the end portion of the main line portion, the end portion of the sheath is open toward the branch portion, and the water sealing portion covers the end portion of the sheath; and a resin portion that is molded to cover the water sealing portion in a state in which the resin portion is in close contact with an outer peripheral portion of the main line portion adjacent to the branch portion and outer peripheral portions of the plurality of branch line portions adjacent to the branch portion, wherein the sheath, the water sealing portion and the resin portion are made of the same resin. 2. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein the water sealing portion is a portion molded to close the gap between the plurality of branch line portions using the branch portion as an insert portion. 3. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein a recessed portion that partially exposes at least one line portion among the main line portion and the plurality of branch line portions is formed in the resin portion. 4. The wiring member according to claim 2 , wherein a recessed portion that partially exposes at least one line portion among the main line portion and the plurality of branch line portions is formed in the resin portion.
