Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wire harness and an electric wire protecting pipe that can prevent holes from being formed by flying gravel while the vehicle is moving and includes a bending pipe portion that can be bent easily. The electric wire protecting pipe is a resin pipe into which electric wires are insertable, and includes a bending pipe portion that is easily bent and is provided with protruding portions and recessed portions that are alternately continuous with each other in an axial direction, and a straight pipe portion that is flat and is not easily bent in the axial direction. A thickness of a lower wall portion that is disposed on a lower side when the electric wire protecting pipe is attached to a vehicle is greater than a thickness of a left wall portion and a right wall portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electric wire protecting pipe that is a resin pipe into which electric wires are insertable, the electric wire protecting pipe comprising: a bending pipe portion that is easily bent and is provided with protruding portions and recessed portions that are alternately continuous with each other in an axial direction; and a straight pipe portion that is flat and is not easily bent in the axial direction, wherein in either the bending pipe portion or the straight pipe portion, a thickness of a lower wall portion that is disposed on a lower side when the electric wire protecting pipe is attached to a vehicle is greater than a thickness of a left wall portion and a right wall portion that are disposed on left and right sides, and the lower wall portion is a relatively thick-walled portion, whereas the left wall portion and the right wall portion are relatively thin-walled portions. 2. The electric wire protecting pipe according to claim 1 , wherein a cross section that is approximately orthogonal to the axial direction has a flat shape in which a length in a direction in which the left wall portion and the right wall portion face each other is longer than a length in a direction in which an upper wall portion that is disposed on an upper side when the electric wire protection pipe is attached to the vehicle and the lower wall portion face each other. 3. A wire harness in which a plurality of electric wires are inserted into the electric wire protecting pipe according to claim 1 .
