When the pressing portion 510 is engaged with the first portion 232, the state in which the wall portion 500 is closed, that is, the state in which the side surface opening 231 of the branch line wiring portion 200 is closed is maintained. The wall portion 500 is provided with an unlocking portion 530 for releasing the locking of the pressing portion 510 with respect to the first portion 232.

図５は、プロテクタ１０の壁部５００付近を拡大して示す図である。壁部５００では、内側部分に押圧部５１０が位置するとともに、外側部分に雌嵌合部５２０が位置している。雌嵌合部５２０は、直方体の上面及び底面が開口した形状を成している。雌嵌合部５２０には、その上面から底面まで貫通した挿入穴５２１が形成されている。雌嵌合部５２０には、挿入穴５２１を取り囲むように、第１側壁部５２２、第２側壁部５２３、第３側壁部５２４及び第４側壁部５２５が設けられている。 FIG. 5 is an enlarged view showing the vicinity of the wall portion 500 of the protector 10. In the wall part 500, the pressing part 510 is located in the inner part, and the female fitting part 520 is located in the outer part. The female fitting part 520 has a shape in which the upper surface and the bottom surface of the rectangular parallelepiped are opened. The female fitting portion 520 is formed with an insertion hole 521 that penetrates from the top surface to the bottom surface. The female fitting part 520 is provided with a first side wall part 522, a second side wall part 523, a third side wall part 524, and a fourth side wall part 525 so as to surround the insertion hole 521.

第１側壁部５２２及び第２側壁部５２３は互いに対向し、第３側壁部５２４及び第４側壁部５２５は互いに対向している。壁部５００が閉じられると、第３側壁部５２４及び第４側壁部５２５は、枝線３の導入口２０３から導出口２０２に向かう方向（図１，３，５での上下方向）に沿った方向で対向し、第４側壁部５２５が導入口２０３側に位置し、第３側壁部５２４が導出口２０２側に位置する。また、壁部５００が閉じられると、第１側壁部５２２及び第２側壁部５２３は、枝線３の導入口２０３から導出口２０２に向かう方向と枝線配線部２００の底部２１０に垂直な方向との両方に垂直な方向（図１，３，５での左右方向）で対向し、第１側壁部５２２が外側に位置し、第２側壁部５２３が内側に位置する。上述のように、雄嵌合部７００が雌嵌合部５２０の挿入穴５２１に挿入されると、雄嵌合部７００の係止突起部７１０が第１側壁部５２２の底面に係止する。以後、説明の便宜上、導入口２０３から導出口２０２に向かう方向に沿った方向を「上下方向」と呼び、導入口２０３から導出口２０２に向かう方向と枝線配線部２００の底部２１０に垂直な方向との両方に垂直な方向を「左右方向」と呼ぶ。また、上下方向及び左右方向に垂直な方向、つまり枝線配線部２００の底部２１０に垂直な方向を単に「垂直方向」と呼ぶ。 The first sidewall portion 522 and the second sidewall portion 523 face each other, and the third sidewall portion 524 and the fourth sidewall portion 525 face each other. When the wall part 500 is closed, the third side wall part 524 and the fourth side wall part 525 are along the direction (vertical direction in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5) from the inlet 203 to the outlet 202 of the branch line 3. The fourth side wall portion 525 is positioned on the inlet port 203 side, and the third side wall portion 524 is positioned on the outlet port 202 side. When the wall portion 500 is closed, the first side wall portion 522 and the second side wall portion 523 are oriented in a direction from the inlet 203 to the outlet 202 of the branch line 3 and a direction perpendicular to the bottom 210 of the branch wiring part 200. The first side wall part 522 is located on the outer side and the second side wall part 523 is located on the inner side. As described above, when the male fitting portion 700 is inserted into the insertion hole 521 of the female fitting portion 520, the locking projection 710 of the male fitting portion 700 is locked to the bottom surface of the first side wall portion 522. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a direction along the direction from the inlet 203 to the outlet 202 is referred to as “vertical direction”, and the direction from the inlet 203 to the outlet 202 is perpendicular to the bottom 210 of the branch wiring part 200. A direction perpendicular to both the directions is referred to as a “left-right direction”. In addition, the vertical direction and the direction perpendicular to the left-right direction, that is, the direction perpendicular to the bottom portion 210 of the branch wiring part 200 are simply referred to as “vertical direction”.

第２ヒンジ部６００の一端は、雌嵌合部５２０の第３側壁部５２４に繋がっている。雌嵌合部５２０を垂直方向から見た際には、雌嵌合部５２０は、第２ヒンジ部６００の働きによって、枝線配線部２００の第２側壁部２３０の第２部分２３３のうち、第２ヒンジ部６００の他端が繋がった接続箇所の周りに回動することが可能である。これにより、壁部５００全体が、当該接続箇所の周りに回動することが可能である。開いた状態の壁部５００が、枝線配線部２００の側面開口２３１に向かって、当該接続箇所の周りに回動すると、壁部５００は閉じて側面開口２３１を塞ぐようになる。以後、説明の便宜上、開いた状態の壁部５００が、枝線配線部２００の側面開口２３１に向かって回動する方向を「時計回り」と呼び、その反対方向を「反時計回り」と呼ぶ。 One end of the second hinge part 600 is connected to the third side wall part 524 of the female fitting part 520. When the female fitting part 520 is viewed from the vertical direction, the female fitting part 520 is operated by the second hinge part 600 so that, among the second portions 233 of the second side wall part 230 of the branch wiring part 200, The second hinge part 600 can be rotated around a connection point where the other ends of the second hinge part 600 are connected. Thereby, the whole wall part 500 can be rotated around the said connection location. When the wall portion 500 in the opened state is rotated around the connection portion toward the side opening 231 of the branch wiring portion 200, the wall portion 500 is closed and the side opening 231 is closed. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the direction in which the opened wall portion 500 rotates toward the side opening 231 of the branch wiring portion 200 is referred to as “clockwise”, and the opposite direction is referred to as “counterclockwise”. .

押圧部５１０はＭ字状を成している。具体的には、押圧部５１０は、互いに対向する二つの主面を有する板状部分を、一方の主面が外側に、他方の主面が内側になるようにＭ字状に曲げた形状を成している。押圧部５１０は、垂直方向から見た際にＭ字に見えるように雌嵌合部５２０に繋がっている。 The pressing portion 510 has an M shape. Specifically, the pressing portion 510 has a shape in which a plate-like portion having two main surfaces facing each other is bent into an M shape so that one main surface is on the outside and the other main surface is on the inside. It is made. The pressing portion 510 is connected to the female fitting portion 520 so as to look like an M shape when viewed from the vertical direction.

図５に示されるように、Ｍ字状の押圧部５１０は、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２と、第１山部５１１と第２山部５１２の間に位置する谷部５１３と、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２にそれぞれ繋がった第１脚部５１４及び第２脚部５１５とを備えている。壁部５００が閉じられた状態においては、押圧部５１０では、枝線３の導入口２０３から導出口２０２に向けて、第１脚部５１４、第１山部５１１，谷部５１３、第２山部５１２及び第２脚部５１５の順で並ぶようになっている。第２脚部５１５における、第２山部５１２側とは反対側の一端は、雌嵌合部５２０の第２側壁部５２３の外面における、第３側壁部５２４寄りの部分に繋がっている。壁部５００が閉じられると、押圧部５１０と雌嵌合部５２０は、左右方向で隣り合って位置するようになる。押圧部５１０は、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２によって、枝線配線部２００の内面、具体的には枝線配線部２００の第１側壁部２２０の内面に枝線３を押し付ける。 As shown in FIG. 5, the M-shaped pressing part 510 includes a first peak part 511 and a second peak part 512, and a valley part 513 positioned between the first peak part 511 and the second peak part 512. And a first leg 514 and a second leg 515 connected to the first peak 511 and the second peak 512, respectively. In the state where the wall portion 500 is closed, in the pressing portion 510, the first leg portion 514, the first peak portion 511, the trough portion 513, and the second peak are directed from the inlet 203 to the outlet 202 of the branch line 3. The part 512 and the second leg part 515 are arranged in this order. One end of the second leg portion 515 opposite to the second peak portion 512 side is connected to a portion near the third side wall portion 524 on the outer surface of the second side wall portion 523 of the female fitting portion 520. When the wall portion 500 is closed, the pressing portion 510 and the female fitting portion 520 are positioned adjacent to each other in the left-right direction. The pressing part 510 presses the branch line 3 against the inner surface of the branch line wiring part 200, specifically, the inner surface of the first side wall part 220 of the branch line wiring part 200 by the first peak part 511 and the second peak part 512.

係止解除部５３０は、板状部分がＬ字状に曲げられた形状を成しており、図５に示されるように、第１部分５３１と第２部分５３２とで構成されている。第１部分５３１は、雌嵌合部５２０の第４側壁部５２５と平行を成すように、押圧部５１０の第１脚部５１４における、第１山部５１１側とは反対側の一端での端面５１４ａから、雌嵌合部５２０の第１側壁部５２２を超えて延びている。第１部分５３１は、第１脚部５１４の端面５１４ａにおける内側半分に繋がっている。第２部分５３２は、第１部分５３１と垂直を成すように、当該第１部分５３１における、押圧部５１０側とは反対側の端部から雌嵌合部５２０側に延びている。 The unlocking portion 530 has a shape in which a plate-like portion is bent in an L shape, and is composed of a first portion 531 and a second portion 532 as shown in FIG. The first portion 531 is an end surface at one end of the first leg portion 514 of the pressing portion 510 opposite to the first peak portion 511 side so as to be parallel to the fourth side wall portion 525 of the female fitting portion 520. From 514a, it extends beyond the first side wall portion 522 of the female fitting portion 520. The first portion 531 is connected to the inner half of the end surface 514 a of the first leg portion 514. The second part 532 extends from the end of the first part 531 opposite to the pressing part 510 side to the female fitting part 520 side so as to be perpendicular to the first part 531.

壁部５００では、押圧部５１０、雌嵌合部５２０及び係止解除部５３０の高さ（垂直方向の寸法）は同一となっている。また、押圧部５１０、雌嵌合部５２０及び係止解除部５３０の高さは、枝線配線部２００の第１側壁部２２０及び第２側壁部２３０の高さと同一となっている。 In the wall portion 500, the height (vertical dimension) of the pressing portion 510, the female fitting portion 520, and the locking release portion 530 is the same. The heights of the pressing portion 510, the female fitting portion 520, and the locking release portion 530 are the same as the heights of the first side wall portion 220 and the second side wall portion 230 of the branch wiring portion 200.

図４のように開いた状態の壁部５００が、枝線配線部２００の側面開口２３１に向かって（時計回りに）回動させられると、押圧部５１０は、その第１脚部５１４の外面が枝線配線部２００の第２側壁部２３０の第１部分２３２に当たりながら、第２側壁部２３０よりも内側に進んでいく。このとき、押圧部５１０は、第１脚部５１４の外面が枝線配線部２００の第２側壁部２３０の第１部分２３２に押されることによって、第１脚部５１４が第２脚部５１５に近づくように弾性変形する。そして、押圧部５１０の第１脚部５１４が第２側壁部２３０を超えると、押圧部５１０の弾性変形が解除されて、係止解除部５３０の第１部分５３１が第２側壁部２３０の第１部分２３２に当接するとともに、押圧部５１０の第１脚部５１４の端面５１４ａ（詳細には、端面５１４ａにおける、係止解除部５３０の第１部分５３１が繋がっていない領域）が第２側壁部２３０の第１部分２３２の内面と係止するようになる。これにより、壁部５００が枝線配線部２００の側面開口２３１を塞いだ状態が維持され、壁部５００がロック状態となる。 When the wall portion 500 in the opened state as shown in FIG. 4 is rotated (clockwise) toward the side surface opening 231 of the branch line wiring portion 200, the pressing portion 510 has the outer surface of the first leg portion 514. While moving on the first portion 232 of the second side wall 230 of the branch line wiring unit 200, the inner side advances toward the inside of the second side wall 230. At this time, the pressing portion 510 is configured such that the first leg portion 514 becomes the second leg portion 515 by pressing the outer surface of the first leg portion 514 against the first portion 232 of the second side wall portion 230 of the branch wiring portion 200. Elastically deforms as it approaches. When the first leg portion 514 of the pressing portion 510 exceeds the second side wall portion 230, the elastic deformation of the pressing portion 510 is released, and the first portion 531 of the locking release portion 530 becomes the second side wall portion 230. The second side wall portion is in contact with the first portion 232 and the end surface 514a of the first leg portion 514 of the pressing portion 510 (specifically, the region of the end surface 514a where the first portion 531 of the locking release portion 530 is not connected). The inner surface of the first portion 232 of 230 is locked. As a result, the state in which the wall portion 500 blocks the side opening 231 of the branch wiring portion 200 is maintained, and the wall portion 500 is in a locked state.

壁部５００が閉められた後、係止解除部５３０の第２部分５３２が上下方向に沿って雌嵌合部５２０側に移動させられると、係止解除部５３０の第１部分５３１が雌嵌合部５２０側に移動して、第１部分５３１に繋がった第１脚部５１４が第２脚部５１５に近づくように押圧部５１０が弾性変形する。これにより、第１脚部５１４の端面５１４ａと、第２側壁部２３０の第１部分２３２の内面との係止が解除されて、壁部５００が反時計回りに回動することが可能となり、壁部５００を開けることができる。 After the wall portion 500 is closed, when the second portion 532 of the locking release portion 530 is moved to the female fitting portion 520 side along the vertical direction, the first portion 531 of the locking release portion 530 is female-fitted. The pressing portion 510 is elastically deformed so that the first leg portion 514 connected to the first portion 531 approaches the second leg portion 515 by moving to the joint portion 520 side. Thereby, the engagement between the end surface 514a of the first leg portion 514 and the inner surface of the first portion 232 of the second side wall portion 230 is released, and the wall portion 500 can be rotated counterclockwise. The wall part 500 can be opened.

壁部５００が閉められた状態において、雄嵌合部７００が雌嵌合部５２０の挿入穴５２１に挿入されて蓋部３００が閉められると、当該蓋部３００に繋がった係止解除防止突起部８５０が、雌嵌合部５２０の第４側壁部５２５と係止解除部５３０の第１部分５３１との間の隙間に位置するようになる（図１参照）。これにより、蓋部３００が閉じた状態では、係止解除部５３０の第１部分５３１は雌嵌合部５２０側に移動できない。よって、蓋部３００が閉じた状態では、係止解除部５３０によって、第１脚部５１４の端面５１４ａと、第２側壁部２３０の第１部分２３２の内面との係止を解除することはできなくなる。つまり、蓋部３００が開いた状態でしか、壁部５００のロックは解除できないようになっている。 When the wall portion 500 is closed, when the male fitting portion 700 is inserted into the insertion hole 521 of the female fitting portion 520 and the lid portion 300 is closed, the unlocking prevention protrusion portion connected to the lid portion 300 is closed. 850 is positioned in the gap between the fourth side wall portion 525 of the female fitting portion 520 and the first portion 531 of the locking release portion 530 (see FIG. 1). Thereby, in the state in which the lid portion 300 is closed, the first portion 531 of the locking release portion 530 cannot move to the female fitting portion 520 side. Therefore, in a state where the lid 300 is closed, the lock release unit 530 can release the lock between the end surface 514a of the first leg 514 and the inner surface of the first portion 232 of the second side wall 230. Disappear. That is, the lock of the wall portion 500 can be released only when the lid portion 300 is open.

本実施の形態に係る押圧部５１０は、壁部５００が閉じた状態において、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２が互いに近づいて当該第１山部５１１及び当該第２山部５１２の高さが低くなるように弾性変形可能である。図６はその様子を示す図である。図６での波線は、押圧部５１０が弾性変形する前の形状を示している。図６に示されるように、壁部５００がロックした状態において、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２が互いに近づけられると、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２の高さは低くなる。言い換えれば、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２が互いに近づけられると、左右方向における、側面開口２３１から第１山部５１１の頂点までの距離と、左右方向における、側面開口２３１から第２山部５１２の頂点までの距離とは小さくなる。これにより、後述するように、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２が、枝線配線部２００の内面に対して、径の大きい枝線３を押し付ける場合であっても、その際の押し付け力を抑えることができる。 In the pressing part 510 according to the present embodiment, the first peak part 511 and the second peak part 512 approach each other and the height of the first peak part 511 and the second peak part 512 in the state where the wall part 500 is closed. It can be elastically deformed so as to be low. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing this state. The wavy line in FIG. 6 shows the shape before the pressing portion 510 is elastically deformed. As shown in FIG. 6, when the first peak portion 511 and the second peak portion 512 are brought close to each other in a state where the wall portion 500 is locked, the height of the first peak portion 511 and the second peak portion 512 is lowered. Become. In other words, when the first peak portion 511 and the second peak portion 512 are brought close to each other, the distance from the side opening 231 to the top of the first peak 511 in the left-right direction and the second opening from the side opening 231 in the left-right direction. The distance to the top of the peak 512 is smaller. As a result, as described later, even when the first peak portion 511 and the second peak portion 512 press the branch wire 3 having a large diameter against the inner surface of the branch wiring portion 200, the pressing at that time The power can be suppressed.

また、本実施の形態に係るプロテクタ１０には、枝線配線部２００に配線された枝線３を狭持する狭持部９００が設けられている。狭持部９００は、枝線配線部２００の導出口２０２付近において枝線３を狭持する。狭持部９００は、第１狭持突起部９１０と第２狭持突起部９２０とで構成されている。 Further, the protector 10 according to the present embodiment is provided with a holding portion 900 that holds the branch line 3 wired to the branch line wiring portion 200. The holding part 900 holds the branch line 3 in the vicinity of the outlet 202 of the branch line wiring part 200. The sandwiching part 900 includes a first sandwiching projection part 910 and a second sandwiching projection part 920.

第１狭持突起部９１０は、枝線配線部２００の第２側壁部２３０の第２部分２３３の内面から突出している。第１狭持突起部９１０における、枝線配線部２００の底部２１０からの高さは、第２側壁部２３０における底部２１０からの高さと同じである。第２部分２３３から突出する第１狭持突起部９１０の先端の端面は、枝線配線部２００の底部２１０に近づくほど枝線配線部２００の第１側壁部２２０に近づくように湾曲している（図２参照）。 The first holding protrusion 910 protrudes from the inner surface of the second portion 233 of the second side wall 230 of the branch line wiring part 200. The height of the first pinching protrusion 910 from the bottom 210 of the branch wire part 200 is the same as the height from the bottom 210 of the second side wall 230. The end surface of the front end of the first holding protrusion 910 protruding from the second portion 233 is curved so as to approach the first side wall 220 of the branch line wiring part 200 as it approaches the bottom 210 of the branch line wiring part 200. (See FIG. 2).

第２狭持突起部９２０は、枝線配線部２００の第１側壁部２２０の内面の導出口２０２付近から突出している。第２狭持突起部９２０における底部２１０からの高さは、第１側壁部２２０における底部２１０からの高さと同じである。第１側壁部２２０から突出する第２狭持突起部９２０の先端の端面は枝線配線部２００の底部２１０に対して垂直を成している。第１狭持突起部９１０と第２狭持突起部９２０を垂直方向から見ると、それらは上下方向に少しずれて配置されている。 The second pinching protrusion 920 protrudes from the vicinity of the outlet 202 on the inner surface of the first side wall 220 of the branch line wiring part 200. The height of the second sandwiching protrusion 920 from the bottom 210 is the same as the height of the first side wall 220 from the bottom 210. The end face of the tip end of the second holding projection 920 protruding from the first side wall 220 is perpendicular to the bottom 210 of the branch wire part 200. When the first holding protrusion 910 and the second holding protrusion 920 are viewed from the vertical direction, they are arranged slightly shifted in the vertical direction.

次に、プロテクタ１０をワイヤーハーネス１に取り付ける方法について説明する。本実施の形態では、ワイヤーハーネス１の枝線３は、湾曲するように枝線配線部２００に配線される。プロテクタ１０へのワイヤーハーネス１の取り付けは、作業者が手作業で行っても良いし、機械が自動的に行っても良い。 Next, a method for attaching the protector 10 to the wire harness 1 will be described. In the present embodiment, the branch line 3 of the wire harness 1 is wired to the branch line wiring unit 200 so as to be bent. Attachment of the wire harness 1 to the protector 10 may be performed manually by an operator or automatically by a machine.

まず図７に示されるように、壁部５００及び蓋部３００を開けた状態で、ワイヤーハーネス１の幹線２を幹線配線部１００に配線するとともに、ワイヤーハーネス１の枝線３を枝線配線部２００に配線する。このとき、枝線３は狭持部９００によって狭持される。本実施の形態に係る枝線３では、チューブ状部材で電線が覆われているため、そのチューブ状部材が狭持部９００によって狭持されて変形する。このとき、当該チューブ状部材で覆われた電線は変形しない方が好ましい。 First, as shown in FIG. 7, with the wall 500 and the lid 300 opened, the trunk 2 of the wire harness 1 is wired to the trunk wiring 100 and the branch 3 of the wire harness 1 is branched to the branch wiring. 200 is wired. At this time, the branch line 3 is held by the holding unit 900. In the branch line 3 according to the present embodiment, since the electric wire is covered with the tubular member, the tubular member is sandwiched and deformed by the sandwiching portion 900. At this time, it is preferable that the electric wire covered with the tubular member is not deformed.

次に図８に示されるように、壁部５００を時計回りに回動して壁部５００を閉めると、壁部５００の押圧部５１０の第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２が、狭持部９００で狭持された枝線３を、枝線配線部２００の第１側壁部２２０の内面に対して押し付けるようになる。言い換えれば、押圧部５１０と枝線配線部２００の内面とで、狭持部９００で狭持された枝線３が狭持されるようになる。その結果、枝線３が蛇行するようになる。枝線３のチューブ状部材は、枝線３が押圧部５１０によって第１側壁部２２０に押し付けられることによって変形する。このとき、当該チューブ状部材で覆われた電線は変形しない方が好ましい。本実施の形態では、垂直方向から見ると（プロテクタ１０を上面側から見ると）、押圧部５１０と第１側壁部２２０とが枝線３を狭持する位置と、狭持部９００が枝線３を狭持する位置とは、上下方向及び左右方向のそれぞれにおいてずれていることから、狭持部９００で狭持されている枝線３を、押圧部５１０によって第１側壁部２２０に押し付けることによって、枝線３は垂直方向から見ると蛇行するようになる。 Next, as shown in FIG. 8, when the wall portion 500 is rotated clockwise to close the wall portion 500, the first peak portion 511 and the second peak portion 512 of the pressing portion 510 of the wall portion 500 are narrowed. The branch line 3 held by the holding part 900 is pressed against the inner surface of the first side wall part 220 of the branch line wiring part 200. In other words, the branch line 3 held by the holding part 900 is held between the pressing part 510 and the inner surface of the branch wiring part 200. As a result, the branch lines 3 meander. The tubular member of the branch line 3 is deformed when the branch line 3 is pressed against the first side wall part 220 by the pressing part 510. At this time, it is preferable that the electric wire covered with the tubular member is not deformed. In the present embodiment, when viewed from the vertical direction (when the protector 10 is viewed from the upper surface side), the position where the pressing portion 510 and the first side wall portion 220 sandwich the branch line 3, and the sandwiching portion 900 is the branch line. Since the position of pinching 3 is shifted in each of the vertical and horizontal directions, the branch line 3 pinched by the pinching portion 900 is pressed against the first side wall 220 by the pressing portion 510. Therefore, the branch line 3 meanders when viewed from the vertical direction.

このように、枝線３をプロテクタ１０に配線する際に、枝線３を複数箇所で狭持して蛇行させることによって、プロテクタ１０内での枝線３の位置がずれることを抑制することができる。したがって、幹線２からの枝線３の長さが変化することを抑制することができる。幹線２からの枝線３の長さが変化すると、接続対象の部品までの枝線３の長さが足りなくなったり、逆に枝線３の長さが余り不要なたるみが生じたりする。したがって、本実施の形態のように、枝線３の位置がずれることを抑制して、幹線２からの枝線３の長さが変化することを抑制することによって、接続対象の部品までの枝線３の長さが足りなくなったり、逆に枝線３の長さが余り不要なたるみが生じたりすることを抑制することができる。 As described above, when the branch line 3 is wired to the protector 10, the branch line 3 is held in a plurality of places to meander, thereby preventing the position of the branch line 3 from being shifted in the protector 10. it can. Therefore, it can suppress that the length of the branch line 3 from the trunk line 2 changes. When the length of the branch line 3 from the main line 2 changes, the length of the branch line 3 to the connection target component becomes insufficient, or conversely, the length of the branch line 3 is not so long. Therefore, as in this embodiment, the position of the branch line 3 is suppressed from shifting, and the length of the branch line 3 from the trunk line 2 is prevented from changing, so that the branch to the component to be connected is reduced. It is possible to prevent the length of the line 3 from becoming insufficient or the length of the branch line 3 from being excessively slack.

また、本実施の形態では、押圧部５１０は、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２が互いに近づいて当該第１山部５１１及び当該第２山部５１２の高さが低くなるように変形可能であることから、枝線３の径が大きい場合であっても、押圧部５１０が枝線３を第１側壁部２２０に押し付ける力が大きくなることを抑制できる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the pressing portion 510 is deformed so that the first peak portion 511 and the second peak portion 512 approach each other and the height of the first peak portion 511 and the second peak portion 512 is lowered. Since it is possible, even if it is a case where the diameter of the branch line 3 is large, it can suppress that the force in which the press part 510 presses the branch line 3 against the 1st side wall part 220 becomes large.

図９は、押圧部５１０が、径の大きい枝線３を第１側壁部２２０に押し付けている様子を示す図である。図９に示されるように、押圧部５１０は、径の大きい枝線３を枝線配線部２００の内面に押し付ける際には、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２が互いに近づいて当該第１山部５１１及び当該第２山部５１２の高さが低くなるように変形する。そして、押圧部５１０では、枝線３の径が大きいほど、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２の距離が小さくなって、第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２の高さが小さくなる。これにより、枝線３の径が大きい場合には、押圧部５１０の第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２と、第１側壁部２２０の内面との間の距離が大きくなることから、押圧部５１０の第１山部５１１及び第２山部５１２が枝線３を第１側壁部２２０に押し付ける力が大きくなることを抑制することができる。よって、枝線３が損傷することを抑制することができる。また、枝線３の径が大きいために壁部５００が閉まらないといったことが発生することを抑制することができる。 FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a state where the pressing portion 510 presses the branch wire 3 having a large diameter against the first side wall portion 220. As shown in FIG. 9, when the pressing portion 510 presses the branch wire 3 having a large diameter against the inner surface of the branch wiring portion 200, the first peak portion 511 and the second peak portion 512 approach each other and It deform | transforms so that the height of the 1 peak part 511 and the said 2nd peak part 512 may become low. In the pressing part 510, the larger the diameter of the branch line 3, the smaller the distance between the first peak part 511 and the second peak part 512, and the smaller the height of the first peak part 511 and the second peak part 512. Become. Thereby, when the diameter of the branch line 3 is large, the distance between the first peak part 511 and the second peak part 512 of the pressing part 510 and the inner surface of the first side wall part 220 is increased. It can suppress that the force which the 1st peak part 511 and the 2nd peak part 512 of the part 510 press the branch line 3 against the 1st side wall part 220 becomes large. Therefore, damage to the branch line 3 can be suppressed. Moreover, it can suppress that the wall part 500 does not close because the diameter of the branch line 3 is large.

なお、上述の図８においては、枝線３の径が小さく、押圧部５１０がほとんど弾性変形していない様子が示されている。 In FIG. 8 described above, the diameter of the branch line 3 is small and the pressing portion 510 is hardly elastically deformed.

壁部５００を閉めて枝線３を蛇行させた後、雄嵌合部７００を雌嵌合部５２０に嵌合させて蓋部３００を閉めると、図１に示されるプロテクタ付きワイヤーハーネス１が完成する。 After the wall portion 500 is closed and the branch wire 3 is meandered, the male fitting portion 700 is fitted to the female fitting portion 520 and the lid portion 300 is closed, whereby the wire harness 1 with a protector shown in FIG. 1 is completed. To do.

以上のように、本実施の形態では、壁部５００を閉めることによって、枝線配線部２００にすでに配線された枝線３を蛇行することができる。したがって、上述の特許文献１の技術を使用する場合のように枝線３を蛇行させながらプロテクタ１０内に配線する場合と比較して、簡単に、枝線３が蛇行するようにプロテクタ１０をワイヤーハーネス１に取り付けることができる。よって、プロテクタ１０をワイヤーハーネス１に取り付ける際の作業性が向上する。 As described above, in this embodiment, the branch line 3 already wired to the branch line wiring part 200 can be meandered by closing the wall part 500. Therefore, as compared with the case where the branch line 3 is meandering while the branch line 3 is meandering as in the case of using the technique of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the protector 10 is simply wired so that the branch line 3 meanders. It can be attached to the harness 1. Therefore, workability when attaching the protector 10 to the wire harness 1 is improved.

また、本実施の形態に係る壁部５００においては、内側部分に押圧部５１０が位置し、外側部分に雌嵌合部５２０が位置するため、壁部５００の高さまで押圧部５１０を高くすることができる。押圧部５１０を雌嵌合部５２０の下側に設けて、押圧部５１０と雌嵌合部５２０を垂直方向に並べることも可能であるが、この場合には、壁部５００の高さは、押圧部５１０の高さと雌嵌合部５２０の高さとを足し合わせたものとなる。したがって、この場合には、押圧部５１０を壁部５００の高さまで高くできない。本実施の形態のように、壁部５００の高さまで押圧部５１０を高くすることができるようにすることによって、枝線３をしっかりと第１側壁部２２０に対して押し付けることができる。よって、枝線３の位置がずれることをさらに抑制することができる。 Moreover, in the wall part 500 which concerns on this Embodiment, since the press part 510 is located in an inner side part and the female fitting part 520 is located in an outer side part, the press part 510 is made high to the height of the wall part 500. Can do. It is also possible to provide the pressing portion 510 below the female fitting portion 520 and arrange the pressing portion 510 and the female fitting portion 520 in the vertical direction, but in this case, the height of the wall portion 500 is The height of the pressing part 510 and the height of the female fitting part 520 are added together. Therefore, in this case, the pressing portion 510 cannot be raised to the height of the wall portion 500. As in the present embodiment, the branch line 3 can be firmly pressed against the first side wall 220 by allowing the pressing portion 510 to be raised to the height of the wall portion 500. Therefore, it can further suppress that the position of branch line 3 shifts.

なお、上記の例では、枝線３においては、電線がチューブ状部材で覆われていたが、電線をテープやチューブ状部材で覆わなくても良い。この場合には、狭持部９００は枝線３の電線を直接狭持することになり、押圧部５１０は第１側壁部２２０に対して枝線３の電線を直接押し付けることになる。 In the above example, in the branch wire 3, the electric wire is covered with the tubular member, but the electric wire may not be covered with the tape or the tubular member. In this case, the holding part 900 directly holds the electric wire of the branch line 3, and the pressing part 510 directly presses the electric wire of the branch line 3 against the first side wall part 220.
