Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A movable spoiler device includes a fixed plate fixed on a vehicle body of a vehicle; a movable plate arranged to be movable between a storing position and an unfolding position closer to the rear than the storing position; a link mechanism provided with one end pivotally supported on the fixed plate and the other end pivotally supported on the movable plate; an electrical component arranged in the vicinity of the movable plate; and a wire harness configured for connecting the electrical component to a battery arranged on the vehicle body. A first portion of the wire harness is fixed at the other end of the link mechanism corresponding to the movable plate, and a second portion of the wire harness is bent on the one end of the link mechanism corresponding to the fixed plate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A movable spoiler device, comprising: a fixed plate fixed on a vehicle body of a vehicle; a movable plate arranged to be movable between a storing position and an unfolding position closer to the rear than the storing position; a link mechanism, provided with one end pivotally supported on the fixed plate and the other end pivotally supported on the movable plate; an electrical component arranged in the vicinity of the movable plate; and a wire harness configured for connecting the electrical component to a battery arranged on the vehicle body, wherein a first portion of the wire harness is fixed at the other end of the link mechanism corresponding to the movable plate, and a second portion of the wire harness is bent on the one end of the link mechanism corresponding to the fixed plate. 2. The movable spoiler device according to claim 1 , wherein a third portion of the wire harness is fixed onto the fixed plate closer to the vehicle body than the link mechanism. 3. The movable spoiler device according to claim 1 , wherein a remaining bent portion is provided between the first portion and the third portion of the wire harness, and a fixing point of the wire harness is provided at a position other than the remaining bent portion. 4. The movable spoiler device according to claim 2 , wherein a remaining bent portion is provided between the first portion and the third portion of the wire harness, and a fixing point of the wire harness is provided at a position other than the remaining bent portion. 5. The movable spoiler device according to claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the wire harness is fixed to the one end of the link mechanism. 6. The movable spoiler device according to claim 2 , wherein the second portion of the wire harness is fixed to the one end of the link mechanism.
