Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wire harness includes an electric wire, a conductive metal shield shell housing a portion of the electric wire, a braided shield covering at least a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the shield shell and extending from an end portion of the shield shell in a lead-out direction of the electric wire to cover the electric wire, and an annular member provided on the outer periphery of the braided shield so as to sandwich the braided shield between itself and the shield shell. The annular member includes an extended portion that extends from the end portion of the shield shell along the lead-out direction of the electric wire.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wire harness, comprising: an electric wire; a conductive metal shield shell housing a portion of the electric wire; a braided shield covering at least a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the shield shell and extending from an end portion of the shield shell in a lead-out direction of the electric wire to cover the electric wire; and an annular member provided on the outer periphery of the braided shield so as to sandwich the braided shield between the annular member and the shield shell, wherein a clamping member has a belt-shape and is arranged so as to sandwich the braided shield and the annular member between the clamping member and the outer peripheral surface of the shield shell, the clamping member is configured to press the braided shield against the shield shell by a tightening force of the clamping member, wherein the clamping member presses the braided shield against the shield shell via the annular member, wherein the annular member comprises an extended portion that extends from the end portion of the shield shell along the lead-out direction of the electric wire, and wherein the annular member further comprises a first annular member contacting the clamping member and the braided shield; and a second annular member comprising the extended portion. 2. The wire harness of claim 1 , wherein the second annular member comprises a connecting portion contacting and covering an outer periphery of the first annular member. 3. The wire harness of claim 2 , wherein the extended portion is integrally and continuously formed from an end portion of the connecting portion. 4. The wire harness of claim 3 , wherein the extended portion contacts the braided shield.
