Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electric wire sheathing member including a resin pipe with which springback can be suppressed, and a wire harness are provided. The electric wire sheathing member includes a resin pipe that has a tubular shape into which an electric wire can be inserted and that is bent into a predetermined shape, and a metal body that is integrally provided in at least a bent portion of the resin pipe and continuously extends in the axial direction. With this configuration, the rigidity of a bent portion of the resin pipe is increased by the metal body, thus making it possible to suppress the springback of the resin pipe.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electric wire sheathing member, comprising: a resin pipe that has a tubular shape into which an electric wire can be inserted and that is bent into a predetermined shape; and a metal body that is integrally provided in at least a bent portion of the resin pipe and continuously extends in an axial direction, wherein the metal body is a spiral member that progressively extends in the axial direction of the resin pipe while turning in a circumferential direction of the resin pipe. 2. A wire harness comprising the electric wire sheathing member according to claim 1 . 3. An electric wire sheathing member, comprising: a resin pipe that has a tubular shape into which an electric wire can be inserted and that is bent into a predetermined shape; a metal body that is integrally provided in at least a bent portion of the resin pipe and continuously extends in an axial direction; and a braided wire that is formed in a tubular shape using a plurality of metal strands and that covers the electric wire and is arranged inside the resin pipe, or that covers the resin pipe and is arranged outside the resin pipe. 4. The electric wire sheathing member according to claim 3 , wherein the metal body is a rod-shaped member that extends substantially in parallel with the axial direction of the resin pipe. 5. A wire harness comprising the electric wire sheathing member according to claim 4 . 6. A wire harness comprising the electric wire sheathing member according to claim 3 .
