  • Patent number: 7053306
    Abstract: An electricity-feeding device includes: a case for accommodating a wire harness bent into a substantially U-shaped form; a slider slidable in the case, in which slider the wire harness is bent and through which the wire harness is led out swingably; and a horizontally long opening disposed between one and the other walls opposite to each other in the case. The slider slides along the opening. The wire harness is bent in traverse from the one wall to the other wall, then bent toward the one wall to be led into the slider, and then led out through the slider and the opening. A rail on which the slider is slidably guided is formed in the vicinity of the opening of the case. A swinging member is formed on the slider. The wire harness is bent and led out through the slider and the swinging member.
