Abstract

A wire harness routing device 11 includes a wire harness 15 , a case 16 in which the wire harness 15 is accommodated and which has an opening 30 through which the wire harness 15 can be led out of or into the case, a protector 21 attached to the wire harness 15 that is led out through the opening 30 , and an engagement means 22 configured to disengageably engage the case 16 and the protector 21 with each other.

First claim

1 . A wire harness routing device comprising:
a wire harness; a case in which the wire harness is accommodated and which has an opening through which the wire harness can be led out of or into the case; a protector attached to the wire harness that is led out through the opening; and an engagement means configured to disengageably engage the case and the protector with each other.

2 . The wire harness routing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the engagement means is constituted by an engaging portion provided in the case and an engaged portion provided in the protector.

3 . The wire harness routing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the engaging portion is provided at an opening edge portion of the opening.

4 . The wire harness routing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a direction in which engagement between the case and the protector by the engagement means is cancelled is parallel to a direction in which the wire harness is led out through the opening.

5 . A slide wiring device comprising:
the wire harness routing device according to claim 1 ; a rail that extends in a direction in which the wire harness is led out through the opening, one end portion of the rail being disposed at the opening of the case; and a slider that is disposed in such a manner to be able to slide relative to the rail and that is fixed to the protector.

6 . The slide wiring device according to claim 5 ,
wherein, in a state in which the protector and the case are engaged with each other, at least a portion of the protector is located in a region where the slider can slide, and one of the protector and the slider has a temporary locking portion that is to be temporarily locked to the other.
