Abstract

A wiring harness includes one or a plurality of conductor lines and a conduit member which accommodates therein the conductor line or lines, an identification in a predetermined color being applied to an outer surface of the conduit member. A resin identifying portion is formed on the outer surface of the conduit member by extruding a resin, or a resin sheet material or tape material is wound around the outer surface of the conduit member that is formed as the resin identifying portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wiring harness including one or a plurality of conductor lines and a metallic conduit member which accommodates therein the conductor line or lines, wherein:
a cylindrical resin identifying portion is formed on the outer surface of the conduit member by extruding a resin, such that the cylindrical resin identifying portion and a non-identifying portion are respectively formed by extrusion and non-extrusion of the resin, and
an entire inner surface of the cylindrical resin identifying portion contacts an entire outer surface of the metallic conduit member.

2. The wiring harness according to claim 1 , wherein
the cylindrical resin identifying portion is provided over a full longitudinal length of the conduit member.

3. The wiring harness according to claim 1 , wherein
the cylindrical resin identifying portion is provided partially with respect to a longitudinal direction on the conduit member.

4. The wiring harness according to claim 1 , wherein
a clamp is fitted to the non-identifying portion without contacting the cylindrical resin identifying portion.

5. A wiring harness, comprising
one or a plurality of conductor lines; and
a metallic conduit member which accommodates therein the conductor line or lines;
at least one identification portion in a predetermined color covering an outer surface of the conduit member in at least one predetermined longitudinal location such that the wiring harness has at least one identifying portion corresponding to the position at which the identifying portion is provided and at least one non-identifying portion corresponding to positions at which the at least one identifying portion is not provided, wherein:
the identifying portion includes a colored extruded resin provided on the outer surface of the conduit member in the at least one predetermined longitudinal location, such that the resin identifying portion and a non-identifying portion are respectively formed by extrusion and non-extrusion of the resin, and
an entire inner surface of the cylindrical resin identifying portion contacts an entire outer surface of the metallic conduit member.

6. The wire harness of claim 5 , wherein there are provided a plurality of identifying portions and non-identifying portions alternately disposed.
