Abstract: An apparatus (1A) for taking up the slack of a wire harness takes up the slack of a flexible, flat wire harness (4) which is accommodated in a housing (2A) having a second side plate (9) formed in an inclined manner with respect to a first side plate (5), and which is drawn out of the housing (2A). This second side plate (9) is provided in such a manner as to assume a gradual downward gradient from a first opening (7) side toward a second opening (11) side. The wire harness (4) which is inserted through the first opening (7) is partially bonded to the first side plate (5), is once folded back toward the introducing side, i.e., the first opening (7) side, in a state in which the curvature of bending is practically nil. The wire harness (4) is then turned back toward the second opening (11) side in a state of being curved arcuately by the resilient action of the wire harness (4) itself, and is drawn out of the housing (2A) through the second opening (11).
