As shown in FIG. 5, an upright plate portion 54 is provided at an end of a gutter-shaped protector body 52 of a protector 51 made of a hard synthetic resin material via a hinge portion 53 so as to be capable of being turned upside down. The fixed upright plate portion 56 corresponding to the upright plate portion 54 is integrally formed at a final upright angle. When arranging the plurality of electric wires 57 in the above configuration, the upright plate portion 54 is tilted down by the hinge portion 53 so that the gutter-shaped protector body 52 is developed horizontally, and necessary electric wires are continuously arranged from above. The cover 55 is covered from above. And, a plurality of locking projections 58 provided on the side surface of the protector body 52,
Engagement is made with an engagement hole 59 provided at a position corresponding to the engagement protrusion 58 on the side surface of the cover 55.

[0003] Next, as shown in FIG.
From the state where the cover 2 and the cover 55 are locked, the upright plate portion 54 is bent together with the electric wire 57 so as to stand up.
Then, the main body-side upright plate portion 54 is fitted to the cover-side fixed upright plate portion 56 with the electric wire 57 interposed therebetween, and then the tape is wound around the mutually fitted outer peripheral surfaces, so that the electric wire is 57 is protected by the protector 51 while being erected and wired.

Further, as a second conventional example, the following protector different from the above configuration is known. That is, an openable / closable cover hinged along the longitudinal direction of one side surface of the protector body having a gutter-shaped cross section is provided. A bent portion having a bellows structure, for example, is formed at a desired bending position on the protector body and the cover.
Therefore, the cover is closed after the electric wires are stored in the protector main body, and the bent portions of the protector main body and the cover are bent integrally at a desired angle in the vertical and horizontal directions. In addition, in order to fix the bent state of the bent portion, a bracket divided into two, which can be connected from above and below or from left and right, is attached later.

[0005]

However, in the protector structure of the first conventional example, a fixed upright plate portion 56 is integrally formed at an end of the cover 55 at a desired upright angle. Therefore, when the height A of the fixed upright plate portion 56 is large when the cover 55 is integrally formed, not only the entire die is increased in size, but also the number of processing steps of the die is increased, which leads to an increase in cost. Was.

Further, at the time of assembling, the upright plate portion 54 is bent upward together with the electric wire 57 to form a fixed upright plate portion 56.
Is fitted. At this time, a part of the electric wire 57 protrudes from the upright plate portion 54, and the protruding electric wire is connected to the upright plate portion 5.
There is a problem in that it is caught between the fixing member 4 and the fixed upright plate portion 56.

Further, in the protector structure of the second conventional example, since a bent portion such as a bellows structure is formed on the protector body and the cover, the mold and the like become complicated, and there remains a problem in terms of manufacturing cost. Further, in order to maintain a desired standing angle, a separate bracket is required separately,
This increases the number of steps for assembling the bracket, leaving problems in terms of workability and cost.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an upright wiring protector which can be manufactured with an inexpensive mold and has excellent workability.
