CORRUGATED TUBE STRUCTURE OF EXTRA LENGTH ABSORBING DEVICE AND EXTRA LENGTH ABSORBING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure bending nature of a corrugated tube, while preventing lowering of durability of an electric wire in the corrugated tube according to elongation/contraction of the tube.;SOLUTION: In this absorbing device 1, a protector 42 is provided to be vertically installed in a slide door 41, and a wire harness 2 provided with the corrugated tube 3 is oscillatably derived from a lower part opening 45 of the protector 42 to a vehicle body side, while bending the wire harness 2 in the protector 42 and storing the wire harness 2 in the protector 42 so that an extra length may be absorbed. An external force receiving part 4 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the corrugated tube 3. The elongation/contraction of the corrugated tube 3 is prevented by the external force receiving part 4 when opening/closing the slide door 41. The external force receiving part 4 is formed at the center of the height direction of a side surface 3a of the corrugated tube 3. The corrugated tube 3 is reversibly supported by a harness holding member 5 when opening/closing the slide door 41. The external force receiving part 4 is located at the bending outside in the bending part 7 of the wire harness 2 from the harness holding member 5 up to the protector 42.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
