Abstract

A wiring member with a fixing member includes a wiring member, and a fixing member. The wiring member includes a plurality of wire-like transmission members and a base material. The plurality of wire-like transmission members are fixed to the base material in an arrayed state. The base material is bent so as to surround the plurality of wire-like transmission members. The fixing member includes an attachment part and a fixing part. The attachment part is attached to the wiring member so as to be located on outside of the base material. The fixing part is a part being connected to the attachment part and being fixed to a fixing target of the wiring member. In a state in which the attachment part is attached to the wiring member, the base material is maintained in a bent state.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A wiring member with a fixing member, comprising:
a wiring member; and
a fixing member, wherein
the wiring member includes a plurality of wire-like transmission members and a base material,
the plurality of wire-like transmission members are fixed to the base material in an arrayed state,
the base material is bent so as to surround the plurality of wire-like transmission members,
the fixing member includes an attachment part and a fixing part,
the attachment part is attached to the wiring member so as to be located on outside of the base material,
the fixing part is a part being connected to the attachment part and being fixed to a fixing target of the wiring member,
in a state in which the attachment part is attached to the wiring member, the base material is maintained in a bent state,
the fixing member is a molded item obtained by integrally molding the attachment part and the fixing part,
the attachment part includes an annular part being capable of changing a state between an annular state and a non-annular state and surrounding the wiring member in the annular state, and an annular shape maintaining part being provided at one end portion of the annular part and stopping another end portion of the annular part to maintain the annular part in the annular state,
the wiring member further includes an intermediation member being fixed at an outer circumferential portion of the base material and being interposed between the annular part and the base material, and
a coefficient of friction in an outer surface of the intermediation member with respect to the annular part is higher than a coefficient of friction in an outer surface of the base material with respect to the annular part.

2. The wiring member with a fixing member according to claim 1 , wherein
in the wiring member, cross-section is in a spirally wound state.

3. The wiring member with a fixing member according to claim 1 , wherein
the fixing member is a molded item obtained by integrally molding the attachment part and the fixing part,
the attachment part is formed into a plate-like shape extending in a longitudinal direction of the wiring member, and
the wiring member with the fixing member further comprises a bundling member configured to bundle the attachment part and the wiring member.

4. The wiring member with a fixing member according to claim 1 , wherein
the base material includes a body part in which the wire-like transmission member is disposed, and an extension piece in which the wire-like transmission member is not disposed, the extension piece extending from the body part, and
in the wiring member, the extension piece is wound around once or more on an outer side of the body part.

5. A manufacturing method of a wiring member with a fixing member, comprising:
preparing a wiring member formed flat, the wiring member including a plurality of wire-like transmission members, and a base material in which the plurality of wire-like transmission members are fixed in an arrayed state;
bending the base material so that the base material surrounds the plurality of wire-like transmission members; and
attaching an attachment part in a fixing member to the wiring member so as to be located on outside of the base material so as to maintain the base material in a bent state, the fixing member including the attachment part, and a fixing part being connected to the attachment part and being fixed to a fixing target of the wiring member, wherein
the fixing member is a molded item obtained by integrally molding the attachment part and the fixing part,
the attachment part includes an annular part being capable of changing a state between an annular state and a non-annular state and surrounding the wiring member in the annular state, and an annular shape maintaining part being provided at one end portion of the annular part and stopping another end portion of the annular part to maintain the annular part in the annular state,
the wiring member further includes an intermediation member being fixed at an outer circumferential portion of the base material and being interposed between the annular part and the base material, and
a coefficient of friction in an outer surface of the intermediation member with respect to the annular part is higher than a coefficient of friction in an outer surface of the base material with respect to the annular part.
