  • Patent number: 9511724
    Abstract: A purpose is, in the case where a nonwoven member is hot pressed around a wire harness to form a protective member, to inhibit rotation of a vehicle body fixing component attached to the protective member while making a cross-sectional shape of the protective member as circular as possible. The wire harness includes a wire harness body containing at least one electric wire and a protective member formed by hot pressing a nonwoven member in a state of covering at least a portion of the wire harness body. The protective member has a protective member that is formed to have a circular cross-sectional shape and a flat surface forming part that has a flat surface formed on at least a portion of an outer periphery.

  • Publication number: 20140131094
    Abstract: An object is to inhibit heating of a wire as much as possible during hot-pressing of a nonwoven material around the wire. A portion of a wire harness main body is covered by a nonwoven material. The nonwoven material is placed in a mold in a state where at least an end portion of the nonwoven material projects from the mold. The nonwoven material is hot-pressed in the mold to form a protection member. Thereby, a wire harness is produced in which the nonwoven material is hot-pressed at least in a portion of the wire harness main body.

  • Publication number: 20130161092
    Abstract: A wire harness includes a wire harness main body having at least one electric wire and a protection material formed by hot pressing a nonwoven material wrapped more than one time around a circumference of at least a portion in a longitudinal direction of the wire harness main body. A slimmed portion is provided to at least one end of the protection material, the slimmed portion being thinner than a middle portion of the protection material so that a portion where an external surface and an internal surface of the nonwoven material make contact with each other is entirely joined in a circumferential direction on a periphery of the wire harness main body.
