Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wire harness ( 9 ) includes two high-voltage conducting paths ( 15 ), an exterior member ( 16 ) which receives and protects the high-voltage conducting paths ( 15 ), and a metal foil shield member ( 17 ) which covers and shields the high-voltage conducting paths ( 15 ) collectively. The metal foil shield member ( 17 ) includes a flexible sheet-like shield member body ( 18 ), and a retention member ( 19 ) which is used after the shield member body ( 18 ) is wrapped around the high-voltage conducting paths ( 15 ). A plurality of slits 23 are formed in the shield member body ( 18 ). The numerous slits ( 23 ) are disposed in places so as not to overlap with each other vertically when the shield member body ( 18 ) is wrapped around the two high-voltage conducting paths ( 15 ) twice.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wire harness comprising: a conducting path; and a shield member that covers and shields the conducting path, wherein the shield member comprises a metal foil having a plurality of slits, and the shield member being wrapped around the conducting path at least twice to cover the conducting path; and wherein the plurality of slits are disposed in positions so as not to overlap with each other in a state that the shield member covers the conducting path. 2. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of slits is formed into a cut shape which is opened in response to a bending of the wire harness.
