Abstract

A wiring member includes: a wiring body including a wire-like transmission member and a sheet to which the wire-like transmission member is fixed; a cover that covers the wiring body; and a buffer member, in which the wire-like transmission member includes a transmission wire body and a coating layer that covers the transmission wire body, the cover is a member harder than the coating layer, and the buffer member is provided at at least one end of the cover, and is disposed between the wire-like transmission member and the cover.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A wiring member comprising:
a wiring body including a wire-like transmission member and a sheet to which the wire-like transmission member is fixed;
a cover that covers the wiring body; and
a buffer member, wherein
the wire-like transmission member includes a transmission wire body and a coating layer covering the transmission wire body,
the cover is a member harder than the coating layer, and
the buffer member is provided at at least one end of the cover, and is disposed between the wire-like transmission member and the cover.

2. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member is a member softer than the cover.

3. The wiring member according to claim 2 , wherein
the buffer member is a member softer than the coating layer.

4. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member has a dimension capable of coming into contact with a plurality of wire-like transmission members along a width direction of the sheet.

5. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member is provided by bending a part of the sheet.

6. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member is provided separately from the sheet.

7. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member is fixed to the wire-like transmission member.

8. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member is fixed to the cover.

9. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member is fixed to the sheet on a side of the wire-like transmission member.

10. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member and a fixing partner are fixed by adhesion or fusion.

11. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member includes a portion overlapping an edge of the cover and a portion protruding from the edge of the cover.

12. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the buffer member is formed using a non-woven cloth as a material.

13. The wiring member according to claim 1 , wherein
the cover includes a first cover that covers only a part of the sheet along a longitudinal direction,
one end of the first cover is located at an intermediate portion along the longitudinal direction of the sheet, and
the buffer member is provided at an edge of one end of the first cover.

14. The wiring member according to claim 13 , wherein
the cover includes a second cover provided at an interval from the first cover along the longitudinal direction of the sheet, and
the buffer member is provided over one end of the first cover and one end of the second cover.
