  • Patent number: 8247694
    Abstract: A curved wall portion along which a wiring harness is bendably extended has a foreign-matter-escape side opening, at one wall continuing to a top opening of an upward guiding cylinder of a protector. A foreign-matter-escape side opening on the other wall of the cylinder proximate to the opening is opposed to the curved wall portion. A projection on the other wall in the guiding cylinder and below the side opening of the wall has an upwardly sloping surface continuing thereto. A projection in the guiding cylinder is above the side opening of the other wall, traversing the cylinder. The protector includes one separate protector member and the other separate protector member, the former having a projection extending toward the latter to cover a joining area thereof.

  • Patent number: 8198533
    Abstract: A feeding device includes a case, which includes a body receiving a wire harness with extra length portion and a guide tube projecting from the body, a distal-end protector and an intermediary protector both of which are attached to the wire harness. The intermediary protector is inserted into the guide tube so as to be able to move forward and backward freely, and the distal-end protector is projected out of the guide tube, and a bendable portion of the wire harness is exposedly formed between the distal-end protector and the intermediary protector. A hood along a bending outer surface of the bendable portion is provided at the distal-end protector. The extra length portion of the wire harness is received in the body so as to be formed into a loop shape.

  • Publication number: 20100089609
    Abstract: A curved wall portion 31 along which a wiring harness 6 is bendably extended has a foreign-matter-escape side opening 32, at one wall 34 continuing to a top opening 30 of an upward guiding cylinder 4 of a protector 20. A foreign-matter-escape side opening 32? on the other wall 34? of the cylinder proximate to the opening 30 is opposed to the curved wall portion. A projection 12 on the other wall 8 in the guiding cylinder 4? and below the side opening 9 of the wall 8 has an upwardly sloping surface 12b continuing thereto. A projection 55 in the guiding cylinder 48 is above the side opening 53 of the other wall 50, traversing the cylinder. The protector 47 includes one separate protector member 47a and the other separate protector member 47b, the former having a projection 55 extending toward the latter to cover a joining area 57 thereof.
