Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An object is to further improve the reliability of a bent section of a linear transmission member. Provided is a wiring member including: a linear transmission member that includes a bent section; and a resin molded portion molded with a path holding portion of the linear transmission member being inserted thereinto, the path holding portion including the bent section, wherein recesses are formed so as to expose portions of the path holding portion other than a portion where tensile stress is concentrated due to bending, to the outside.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wiring member comprising: a linear transmission member that includes a bent section; and a resin molded portion molded with a path holding portion of the linear transmission member being inserted thereinto, the path holding portion including the bent section, wherein recesses are formed so as to expose portions of the path holding portion other than a portion where tensile stress is concentrated due to bending, to the outside, and wherein the recesses include an inner circumference-side recess that is formed closer to an inner circumference than the path holding portion is. 2. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein the portion of the path holding portion where tensile stress is concentrated due to bending is a portion that has the smallest radius of curvature in the path holding portion. 3. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein the portion of the path holding portion where tensile stress is concentrated due to bending is a central portion of the bent section in a longitudinal direction thereof. 4. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein the bent section is a section where the linear transmission member is bent so as to be folded back. 5. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein the recesses include an end-side recess located so as to expose an end portion of the path holding portion to the outside. 6. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein the portion of the path holding portion where tensile stress is concentrated due to bending is present in a portion close to the outer circumference of the bent section, and the recesses include two sandwiching recesses located so as to sandwich the portion of the path holding portion where the tensile stress is concentrated due to bending from two sides of a plane in which the bent section is present. 7. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein the resin molded portion further includes a coupling portion that connects portions that are continuous with two end portions of the bent section of the linear transmission member.
