Abstract

A sheath assembly applied to a wire harness includes: a protector that includes a base member to which a wiring material is inserted, and a cover member; and a movable sheathing material which is attached to the base member in a movable manner and to which the end part of the wiring material housed in a housing space part can be inserted. The cover member includes a positioning part that is formed to protrude toward the housing space part side in a state where the cover member is assembled to the base member and that maintains a connection state between the base member and the movable sheathing material by abutting against a connection part of the movable sheathing material to the base member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sheath assembly comprising:
a protector that includes
a base member including a housing space part that is formed with a wall part and in which a wiring material with conductivity is inserted along an axial direction and an opening part that allows the housing space part to communicate with outside, and
a cover member that is capable of closing the opening part by being assembled to the base member; and

a movable sheathing material that is attached to the base member in a movable manner and is capable of allowing an end part of the wiring material housed in the housing space part to be inserted into an inner side, wherein
the cover member includes a positioning part that is formed to protrude toward the housing space part side in a state where the cover member is assembled to the base member where the movable sheathing material is being attached and that maintains a connection state between the base member and the movable sheathing material by abutting against a connection part of the movable sheathing material to the base member.

2. The sheath assembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the base member includes a pair of base member side sidewall parts opposing to each other along a width direction that intersects with an opening direction of the opening part,
the movable sheathing material includes a pair of movable sheathing material side sidewall parts that are opposing to each other along the width direction and disposed on the housing space part side along the pair of base member side sidewall parts in a state where the movable sheathing material is attached to the base member,
each of the pair of base member side sidewall parts includes a fitting hole part that is positioned at an end part on one side of the axial direction and opened through along the width direction,
each of the pair of movable sheathing material side sidewall parts includes a fitting protruded part that is positioned in an end part on the base member side configuring the connection part, the fitting protruded part being formed to protrude toward an outer side in the width direction to be capable of being inserted into the fitting hole part, and
the positioning part includes a protruded part that extends across between the pair of movable sheathing material side sidewall parts with respect to the width direction and is formed along each of the movable sheathing material side sidewall parts with respect to the opening direction in a state where the positioning part is assembled to the base member where the movable sheathing material is being attached.

3. A wire harness comprising:
a wiring material with conductivity; and
a sheath assembly sheathed onto the wiring material, wherein
the sheath assembly includes:
a protector that includes
a base member including a housing space part that is formed with a wall part and in which the wiring material with conductivity is inserted along an axial direction and an opening part that allows the housing space part to communicate with outside, and
a cover member that is capable of closing the opening part by being assembled to the base member; and

a movable sheathing material that is attached to the base member in a movable manner and is capable of allowing an end part of the wiring material housed in the housing space part to be inserted into an inner side, and

the cover member includes a positioning part that is formed to protrude toward the housing space part side in a state where the cover member is assembled to the base member where the movable sheathing material is being attached and that maintains a connection state between the base member and the movable sheathing material by abutting against a connection part of the movable sheathing material to the base member.
