  • Patent number: 11146051
    Abstract: Provided is a wire harness that can realize a simplified mold structure and reduce costs. A wire harness includes: a tubular member that is flexible and into which an electrical wire is inserted; and a path regulation member that regulates a routing path of the electrical wire. The path regulation member includes bent portions. The bent portions are formed by bending the path regulation members, and thus the routing path of the electrical wire can be regulated.

  • Patent number: 11114217
    Abstract: A shield conduction path that includes a wire; and a pipe with a circular cross-section that accommodates the wire. The pipe is formed by combining a first divided body and a second divided body that are divided in a diameter direction using, as boundaries, divided surfaces that extend in an axial direction of the pipe. The first divided body and the second divided body include a metal material that can be held in a combined state through welding, and a circumferential length of the first divided body is set to be longer than a circumferential length of the second divided body.

  • Patent number: 10985541
    Abstract: A wire harness capable of combining low voltage wires and high-voltage wires without using shielded wires. The harness is provided with high-voltage wires, which are passed through a pipe possessing shielding properties and shape retention properties, and a low voltage wire, in which a shape-retaining conductor that runs parallel to the pipe and possesses electrically conductive properties and shape retention properties is encased by an insulating member. The low voltage wire is placed on the outside of the pipe and, as a result, the low voltage wire is not affected by the electromagnetic noise of the high voltage wires, which makes it possible to combine the high-voltage wires and the low voltage wire.

  • Patent number: 10586630
    Abstract: A wire harness that allows branched locations to be defined and can be manufactured inexpensively. A wire harness includes a tubular bendable pipe through which a wire is inserted. The pipe includes pull-out ports of the wire at positions corresponding to branching locations of the wire. The pull-out ports are configured to open on the respective mating surfaces of a first divided segment and a second divided segment obtained by circumferentially dividing the pipe into two. Bushes serving as protection portions that protect the wire are provided at rims of the pull-out ports.

  • Patent number: 10504637
    Abstract: Provided is a shielded conduction path that enables a manufacturing operation to be performed easily and enables preventing positional shift. The shielded conduction path includes a shielding pipe that is shaped as a tube that surrounds electrical wires and is constituted by a pair of divided bodies that have divided ends that extend along the axial direction, and positioning members that are locked to the pair of divided bodies and are attached to the electrical wires. The two divided bodies are positioned relative to the electrical wires by the positioning members, and an operation of joining the two divided bodies together or the like can be performed without difficulty.
