Abstract

A wire harness includes a plurality of electric wires, a sheath that covers a portion of the plurality of electric wires in a longitudinal direction, a shield conductor that is interposed between the plurality of electric wires and the sheath and covers all of the plurality of electric wires, a ground wire connected to the shield conductor, and a covering body that covers an outer circumference of the shield conductor and the plurality of electric wires extending out of an end of the sheath, as well as the end of the sheath and a portion of the ground wire, wherein extending directions of the plurality of electric wires and the ground wire from the covering body are fixed by the covering body.

First claim

1 . A wire harness, comprising:
a plurality of electric wires; a sheath that covers a portion of the plurality of electric wires in a longitudinal direction; a shield conductor that is interposed between the plurality of electric wires and the sheath and covers all of the plurality of electric wires; a ground wire connected to the shield conductor; and a covering body that covers an outer circumference of the shield conductor and the plurality of electric wires extending out of an end of the sheath, as well as the end of the sheath and a portion of the ground wire, wherein extending directions of the plurality of electric wires and the ground wire from the covering body are fixed by the covering body.

2 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the ground wire comprises a ground wire conductor and an insulation covering the ground wire conductor, wherein a portion of the insulation is covered with the covering body on one end side of the ground wire, and wherein the ground wire conductor extends out of the insulation on an other end side of the ground wire.

3 . The wire harness according to claim 2 , wherein a portion of the shield conductor extending out of the sheath is folded back onto an outer circumference of the sheath inside the covering body, and wherein the ground wire conductor is connected to the folded back portion of the shield conductor.

4 . The wire harness according to claim 3 , wherein the ground wire conductor is wound around an outer circumference of the folded back portion of the shield conductor.

5 . The wire harness according to claim 4 , wherein the ground wire conductor comprises a wound portion wound around the outer circumference of the folded back portion of the shield conductor, and a twisted portion twisted together, and wherein the folded back portion of the shield conductor is tightened by the wound portion.

6 . The wire harness according to claim 3 , wherein the portion of the ground wire conductor is placed on the outer circumference of the folded back portion of the shield conductor, and the portion of the ground wire conductor is fixed to the shield conductor by a fixing member.

7 . The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the covering body comprises a resin molded body or a cover formed by combining a plurality of cover members.

8 . The wire harness according to claim 7 , wherein a metal bracket is fixed to the covering body.
