First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A wire harness comprising: a conductive path; and an exterior member with a tubular shape which covers the conductive path, wherein the exterior member includes a straight tubular portion in which a pair of one wall and the other wall are formed, and the straight tubular portion includes a concave portion in at least the one wall, with the concave portion being positioned close to the conductive path. 2 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the exterior member is formed to have a length so as to straddle the front and the rear of a vehicle underfloor via the vehicle underfloor, and the straight tubular portion is disposed on the vehicle underfloor so that the one wall faces the ground and the other wall faces the vehicle underfloor. 3 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the straight tubular portion includes a pair of support walls that are symmetrical to each other and support the one wall and the other wall. 4 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the concave portion is formed over the entire length of the straight tubular portion, or is partially formed in an extension direction of the conductive path. 5 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein at least the one wall includes a plurality of the concave portions, and is formed to have a sectional shape of concavity and convexity or a substantially corrugated sectional shape.
