Abstract

There is employed an arm power supply device in which a first arm is rotatably and axially supported to a base member having one harness fixing portion, a second arm having the other harness fixing portion is rotatably and axially supported on a rotation tip side of the first arm, the first arm includes an enclosure portion forming a slit through which a wire harness is inserted, and the wire harness passes from the base member to the slit and is wired over the second arm. The enclosure portion includes an inclined wall to guide the wire harness derived in a bent shape from the second arm to be in contact with the inner surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An arm power supply device in which
a first arm is rotatably and axially supported to a base member having a first harness fixing portion,
a second arm having a second harness fixing portion is rotatably and axially supported on a rotation tip side of the first arm,
the first arm includes an enclosure portion forming a slit through which a wire harness is inserted,
the enclosure portion being constituted of a first wall portion and a second wall portion arranged opposed to each other with a space, and a third wall portion and a fourth wall portion intersecting with the first and the second wall portions and being arranged opposed to each other, and
the wire harness passes from the base member to the slit and is wired in a bent shape over the second arm,
wherein the enclosure portion includes an inclined wall located on a rotational base end side of the first arm at which the first arm is axially supported to the base member such that the wire harness extends in a bent shape over the second arm and is guided to be in contact with an inner surface of the inclined wall.

2. The arm power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein a peripheral end of the base member is disposed in vicinity of an end portion of the enclosure portion on the rotational base end side of the first arm in a rotation range of the first arm.

3. The arm power supply device according to claim 1 , wherein a torsion coil spring to urge the first arm in a rotation direction is contained on the rotational base end side of the first arm, and an engagement portion to engage one end portion of the torsion coil spring is provided on the rotational base end side.

4. The arm power supply device according to claim 2 , wherein a torsion coil spring to urge the first arm in a rotation direction is contained on the rotational base end side of the first arm, and an engagement portion to engage one end portion of the torsion coil spring is provided on the rotational base end side.
