Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a wire harness and a manufacturing method thereof. A wire harness routed in a vehicle body is provided with an electric wire and a metallic shield pipe in which the electric wire is inserted. The shield pipe has a rigidity that enables self-maintenance of an after-bent shape. The shield pipe is bent with the electric wire being inserted therein so as to form the shield pipe in a shape conforming to piping to be assembled to the vehicle body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A wire harness routed in a vehicle body comprising: an electric wire; and a metallic pipe in which the electric wire is inserted, wherein the pipe has a rigidity that enables self-maintenance of an after-bent shape, and the pipe is bent with the electric wire being inserted therein so that the pipe is formed in a shape conforming to a piping to be assembled to the vehicle body. 2 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , further comprising the piping, wherein the pipe in which the electric wire is inserted is arranged along the piping, and the piping and the pipe are jointly fastened by a fixing member at an interval in a longitudinal direction of the pipe so as to be integrated. 3 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , further comprising a binding member having conductivity and fixing the pipe to a conductive portion of the vehicle body. 4 . A manufacturing method of a wire harness routed in a vehicle body, comprising: bending a metallic pipe in which an electric wire is inserted so as to form the pipe into a shape conforming to a piping to be assembled to the vehicle body; arranging the bent pipe along the piping before assembled to the vehicle body, and jointly fastening the piping and the pipe by a fixing member at interval in a longitudinal direction of the pipe so as to be integrated.
