Abstract

It is aimed to improve soundproofing of a wiring module. The wiring module is provided with a sheet-shaped first soundproofing member; a wire harness which contains at least one wire and is disposed at least partially along one main surface of the first soundproofing member, and a second soundproofing member. The second soundproofing member is provided partially to one main surface of the first soundproofing member and holds the wire harness interposed between the first soundproofing member and the second soundproofing member.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A wiring module comprising:
a sheet-shaped first soundproofing member,
a wire harness including at least one wire, at least one portion of the wire harness being disposed along one main surface of the first soundproofing member, and
a second soundproofing member which is provided partially to the one main surface of the first soundproofing member and holds the wire harness interposed between the first soundproofing member and the second soundproofing member,
wherein the second soundproofing member is provided to a portion of the first soundproofing member where a reinforcement member provided to an assembly object to which the wiring module is assembled is not disposed.

2. The wiring module according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of the second soundproofing members are provided to the first soundproofing member, and
wherein at least one of clearances between the plurality of second soundproofing member is a straight clearance.

3. The wiring module according to claim 2 ,
wherein those portions of the plurality of second soundproofing members that have a straight clearance interposed therebetween extend to both ends of the first soundproofing member in a direction in which the straight clearance extends.

4. The wiring module according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first soundproofing member is provided with a positioning opening, or both of the first soundproofing member and the second soundproofing member are provided with positioning openings.

5. A wiring module comprising:
a sheet-shaped soundproofing member, and
a wire harness including at least one wire, at least one portion of the wire harness held along one main surface of the soundproofing member,
wherein the soundproofing member is provided with a plurality of openings, and
wherein the wiring module is folded to superimpose the plurality of openings on each other.

6. The wiring module according to claim 5 ,
wherein at least one of the plurality of openings is provided at a portion where an electric device to be connected with the wire harness is disposed on an assembly object to which the wiring module is assembled.

7. A wiring module assembly method of assembling the wiring module according to claim 5 to an assembly object, comprising:
disposing the folded wiring module on the assembly object while visually recognizing the assembly object through the superimposed openings, and
unfolding the folded wiring module on the assembly object.
