The electric wire member is fixed to the fixing piece with the outer circumferential surface of the electric wire member in contact with the first end surface. Therefore, the contact area between the first end surface of the fixed piece and the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire member can be increased. Thereby, the electric wire member can be stably fixed to the fixing piece.
　［６］前記固定片は、板状に形成されており、前記固定片は、前記固定片の厚み方向において前記第１端面と反対側に設けられた第２端面を有し、前記固定片の先端部は、前記第２端面から前記第１端面から離れる方向に向かって突出する突出部を有し、前記突出部は、前記固定片の長さ方向において、前記固定部材と係合可能であることが好ましい。 [6] The fixing piece is formed in a plate shape, and the fixing piece has a second end face provided on the opposite side to the first end face in the thickness direction of the fixing piece.

This protrusion can restrict relative movement of the fixing member with respect to the fixing piece in the length direction of the fixing piece. Thereby, it is possible to suitably suppress the fixing member from coming off the fixing piece.
　［７］前記可動部材は、第１分割体と、前記第１分割体に合体可能に形成された第２分割体とを有し、前記第１分割体は、第１溝部を有する第１半球状部と、前記第１半球状部の外周面から外側に突出する前記固定片とを有し、前記第２分割体は、第２溝部を有する第２半球状部を有し、前記球状部は、前記第１半球状部と前記第２半球状部とが合体して構成されており、前記収容部は、前記第１溝部と前記第２溝部とが重ね合わされて構成されていることが好ましい。 [7] The movable member has a first divided body and a second divided body formed so as to be able to be combined with the first divided body, and the first divided body has a first hemisphere having a first groove. and the fixing piece protruding outward from the outer circumferential surface of the first hemispherical part, and the second divided body has a second hemispherical part having a second groove, and the second divided body has a second hemispherical part having a second groove, The first hemispherical portion and the second hemispherical portion may be combined, and the accommodating portion may be configured by overlapping the first groove portion and the second groove portion. preferable.

Thereby, even though the movable member has a cylindrical shape, the movable member is divided into the first divided body and the second divided body, so that the movable member can be retrofitted to the electric wire member. In other words, since the movable member is divided into the first divided body and the second divided body, the electric wire member can be fixed after terminal processing such as attaching a connector to the longitudinal end of the electric wire member.

　［１０］前記可動部材は、前記固定片を複数有していることが好ましい。
　この構成によれば、可動部材に複数の固定片が設けられる。このため、例えば可動部材に複数の電線部材が貫通する場合に、複数の電線部材を複数の固定片にそれぞれ固定することができる。 [10] It is preferable that the movable member has a plurality of the fixed pieces.
According to this configuration, the movable member is provided with a plurality of fixed pieces. For this reason, for example, when a plurality of electric wire members pass through the movable member, the plurality of electric wire members can be respectively fixed to the plurality of fixed pieces.

It is preferable that the spherical part is accommodated in the accommodation space in a state where it is sandwiched between the receiving part and the lid part.
　この構成によれば、ケースが、第１収容凹部を有する受け部と第２収容凹部を有する蓋部とによって電線部材及び可動部材を包囲する筒状に形成されている。これにより、ケースを筒状としながらも、ケースが受け部と蓋部とに分かれていることで、ケースを電線部材に対して後付け可能となる。この結果、ワイヤハーネスの組立作業性を向上できる。 According to this configuration, the case is formed into a cylindrical shape that surrounds the electric wire member and the movable member by the receiving portion having the first accommodating recess and the lid portion having the second accommodating recess. As a result, even though the case has a cylindrical shape, the case is divided into a receiving part and a lid part, so that the case can be attached to the electric wire member later. As a result, the workability of assembling the wire harness can be improved.

In this embodiment, the corner between the step surface 76A and the inner surface of the first accommodation recess 63A is formed into an R-chamfered shape.
　導出口７４Ａは、例えば、収容凹部７５Ａとプロテクタ３０の外部とを連通するように形成されている。導出口７４Ａは、例えば、可動部材３１から引き出された電線部材２０の外周を包囲するように形成されている。導出口７４Ａは、例えば、収容凹部７５Ａと連続した形状に形成されている。すなわち、導出口７４Ａは、例えば、収容凹部７５Ａと同様の形状に形成されている。 The outlet port 74A is formed, for example, to communicate the accommodation recess 75A with the outside of the protector 30. The outlet 74A is formed, for example, to surround the outer periphery of the electric wire member 20 pulled out from the movable member 31. The outlet 74A is, for example, formed in a continuous shape with the accommodation recess 75A. That is, the outlet port 74A is formed, for example, in the same shape as the accommodation recess 75A.
　図３及び図５に示すように、受け部６１は、１つ又は複数の係合部７７を有している。本実施形態の受け部６１は、２つの係合部７７を有している。各係合部７７は、例えば、各側壁７２Ａの外側面に設けられている。各係合部７７は、例えば、各側壁７２Ａの外側面から外方に突出するように形成されている。各係合部７７は、例えば、蓋部６２に設けられた係合部７９が係合される係合枠部である。各係合部７７は、例えば、Ｕ字状の枠体に形成されており、その枠体の中央に係合部７９が係合可能な係合孔７７Ｃを有している。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the receiving portion 61 has one or more engaging portions 77. The receiving part 61 of this embodiment has two engaging parts 77. Each engaging portion 77 is provided, for example, on the outer surface of each side wall 72A. Each engaging portion 77 is formed, for example, to protrude outward from the outer surface of each side wall 72A. Each engagement portion 77 is, for example, an engagement frame portion with which an engagement portion 79 provided on the lid portion 62 is engaged. Each engaging portion 77 is formed, for example, in a U-shaped frame, and has an engaging hole 77C in the center of the frame, into which the engaging portion 79 can engage.
　（蓋部６２の構成）
　図３に示すように、蓋部６２は、例えば、全体として半割筒状に形成されている。蓋部６２は、例えば、受け部６１と同様の構造を有している。このため、蓋部６２のうち受け部６１と共通の構造を有する部分については、受け部６１の対応する構成の符号の末尾の「Ａ」を「Ｂ」に変更した符号を付すことにより、その詳細な説明を省略する。 (Configuration of lid portion 62)
As shown in FIG. 3, the lid portion 62 is, for example, formed into a half-cylindrical shape as a whole. The lid portion 62 has a structure similar to that of the receiving portion 61, for example. For this reason, parts of the lid part 62 that have the same structure as the receiving part 61 are given the same reference numerals by changing the suffix "A" to "B" of the corresponding structure of the receiving part 61. Detailed explanation will be omitted.
　蓋部６２は、例えば、受け部６１と対向する底壁７１Ｂと、底壁７１Ｂの両側縁から受け部６１に向かって突出するとともに互いに対向する２つの側壁７２Ｂとを有している。蓋部６２は、蓋部６２の長さ方向の一端部に設けられた導出口７３Ｂと、蓋部６２の長さ方向の他端部に設けられた導出口７４Ｂとを有している。 The lid portion 62 has, for example, a bottom wall 71B facing the receiving portion 61, and two side walls 72B protruding from both side edges of the bottom wall 71B toward the receiving portion 61 and facing each other. The lid 62 has an outlet 73B provided at one end in the length direction of the lid 62 and an outlet 74B provided at the other end in the length direction of the lid 62.
　蓋部６２は、半球状の第２収容凹部６３Ｂと、第２収容凹部６３Ｂと導出口７４Ｂとの間に設けられた収容凹部７５Ｂと、段差面７６Ｂとを有している。第２収容凹部６３Ｂは、半球状に凹むように形成されている。第２収容凹部６３Ｂの内面は、半球面状に形成されている。図５に示すように、第２収容凹部６３Ｂは、受け部６１と蓋部６２とが合体した状態において、球状の収容空間６３を構成する。すなわち、受け部６１と蓋部６２とが合体した状態では、受け部６１の第１収容凹部６３Ａと蓋部６２の第２収容凹部６３Ｂとが重ね合わされて球状の収容空間６３が形成されている。 The lid portion 62 has a hemispherical second accommodation recess 63B, an accommodation recess 75B provided between the second accommodation recess 63B and the outlet 74B, and a stepped surface 76B. The second accommodation recess 63B is formed in a hemispherical shape. The inner surface of the second accommodation recess 63B is formed into a hemispherical shape. As shown in FIG. 5, the second accommodation recess 63B forms a spherical accommodation space 63 in a state where the receiving part 61 and the lid part 62 are combined. That is, when the receiving part 61 and the lid part 62 are combined, the first accommodating recess 63A of the receiving part 61 and the second accommodating recess 63B of the lid part 62 are overlapped to form a spherical accommodating space 63. .
　図３に示すように、蓋部６２は、例えば、１つ又は複数の突出壁７８と、１つ又は複数の係合部７９とを有している。本実施形態の蓋部６２は、２つの突出壁７８と、２つの係合部７９とを有している。各突出壁７８は、例えば、各側壁７２Ｂの高さ方向の端面から受け部６１に向かって突出するように形成されている。各突出壁７８は、例えば、蓋部６２の長さ方向に沿って蓋部６２の長さ方向の全長にわたって延びるように形成されている。２つの突出壁７８は、例えば、蓋部６２の幅方向において互いに対向している。図２に示すように、各突出壁７８は、受け部６１と蓋部６２とが合体した状態において、受け部６１の側壁７２Ａの外側面の一部を覆うように形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 3, the lid portion 62 includes, for example, one or more protruding walls 78 and one or more engaging portions 79. The lid part 62 of this embodiment has two protruding walls 78 and two engaging parts 79. Each protruding wall 78 is formed, for example, to protrude toward the receiving portion 61 from the end surface in the height direction of each side wall 72B. Each protruding wall 78 is formed, for example, to extend along the entire length of the lid 62 along the length of the lid 62 . For example, the two protruding walls 78 face each other in the width direction of the lid portion 62. As shown in FIG. 2, each protruding wall 78 is formed to cover a part of the outer surface of the side wall 72A of the receiving part 61 in a state where the receiving part 61 and the lid part 62 are combined.
　図３に示すように、２つの係合部７９は、受け部６１に設けられた２つの係合部７７にそれぞれ対向して設けられている。各係合部７９は、例えば、各突出壁７８に設けられている。各係合部７９は、例えば、各突出壁７８の突出先端面から受け部６１に向かって突出するように形成されている。各係合部７９の先端部には、例えば、蓋部６２の径方向外側に向かって突出する係合凸部７９Ｃが形成されている。各係合部７９は、例えば、突出壁７８の突出先端面に接続された基端部を固定端とし、基端部とは反対側の先端部を自由端とする片持ち状に形成されている。各係合部７９は、例えば、弾性変形による蓋部６２の幅方向への撓みが可能に構成されている。各係合部７９は、例えば、各係合部７７に係合される。各係合部７７と各係合部７９とは、例えば、スナップフィット方式により互いに係合される。 As shown in FIG. 3, the two engaging portions 79 are provided opposite to the two engaging portions 77 provided on the receiving portion 61, respectively. Each engaging portion 79 is provided on each protruding wall 78, for example. Each engaging portion 79 is formed, for example, to protrude toward the receiving portion 61 from the protruding end surface of each protruding wall 78 . For example, an engagement convex portion 79C that projects toward the outside in the radial direction of the lid portion 62 is formed at the tip of each engagement portion 79. Each engaging portion 79 is formed, for example, in a cantilever shape, with the base end connected to the protruding distal end surface of the protruding wall 78 serving as a fixed end, and the distal end on the opposite side of the proximal end serving as a free end. There is. Each engaging portion 79 is configured to be able to bend in the width direction of the lid portion 62 by elastic deformation, for example. Each engaging portion 79 is engaged with each engaging portion 77, for example. Each engaging portion 77 and each engaging portion 79 are engaged with each other, for example, by a snap fit method.
　図６に示すように、受け部６１と蓋部６２とは、例えば、導出口７３Ａ，７３Ｂ同士、第１収容凹部６３Ａ及び第２収容凹部６３Ｂ同士、収容凹部７５Ａ，７５Ｂ同士、導出口７４Ａ，７４Ｂ同士を重ね合わせるようにして合体されている。受け部６１と蓋部６２とは、電線部材２０とその電線部材２０の長さ方向の一部に固定された可動部材３１とを間に挟んだ状態で合体されている。図５に示すように、受け部６１と蓋部６２とは、係合部７７と係合部７９とが互いに係合されるように合体されている。これら係合部７７と係合部７９との係合により、受け部６１と蓋部６２とが合体した状態、つまり受け部６１と蓋部６２とにより筒体が形成された状態が維持される。図６に示すように、受け部６１と蓋部６２とが合体した状態では、第１収容凹部６３Ａと第２収容凹部６３Ｂにより構成される球状の収容空間６３に可動部材３１の球状部４０が収容されるとともに、可動部材３１の固定片４２がケース３２の外側に配置される。このとき、可動部材３１は、固定部材９０により電線部材２０が固定片４２に固定された状態でケース３２に保持される。また、収容空間６３に収容された球状部４０は、受け部６１と蓋部６２との間に設けられ、受け部６１と蓋部６２とによって挟まれている。さらに、球状部４０は、球状の収容空間６３に対して自由に回転可能に収容空間６３内に保持されている。例えば、球状部４０は、電線部材２０の周方向において回転可能に収容空間６３内に保持されている。例えば、球状部４０は、電線部材２０の横断面における各方向にスライド可能に収容空間６３内に保持されている。すなわち、球状部４０は、電線部材２０の横断面における上下左右及び斜め方向に可動自在にケース３２に保持されている。このような球状部４０を有する可動部材３１に電線部材２０が固定されているため、電線部材２０はケース３２に対して可動自在にプロテクタ３０（ケース３２及び可動部材３１）に保持されている。例えば、電線部材２０は、ケース３２に対して電線部材２０の周方向に回転可能にプロテクタ３０に保持されている。例えば、電線部材２０は、ケース３２に対して電線部材２０の横断面における上下左右及び斜め方向に可動自在にプロテクタ３０に保持されている。これにより、図７に示すように、ケース３２の導出口７３Ａからの電線部材２０の引き出し方向を容易に可変することができる。換言すると、例えば可動体Ｂ１（図１参照）の移動に伴ってワイヤハーネス１０の経路が変更される場合であっても、その経路変更に対応するように電線部材２０の引き出し方向を容易に可変させることができる。このとき、電線部材２０が固定部材９０（テープ部材９１）により可動部材３１の固定片４２に固定されているため、可動部材３１に対する電線部材２０の相対移動が規制されている。このため、電線部材２０の引き出し方向が可変される際に、可動部材３１に対して電線部材２０が位置ずれすることを好適に抑制できる。 As shown in FIG. 6, the receiving part 61 and the lid part 62 include, for example, the outlet ports 73A and 73B, the first accommodating recess 63A and the second accommodating recess 63B, the accommodating recesses 75A and 75B, the outlet 74A, 74B are combined by overlapping each other. The receiving portion 61 and the lid portion 62 are combined with the electric wire member 20 and the movable member 31 fixed to a portion of the electric wire member 20 in the length direction sandwiched therebetween. As shown in FIG. 5, the receiving part 61 and the lid part 62 are combined so that the engaging part 77 and the engaging part 79 are engaged with each other. The engagement between the engaging portions 77 and 79 maintains the state in which the receiving portion 61 and the lid portion 62 are combined, that is, the state in which the receiving portion 61 and the lid portion 62 form a cylindrical body. . As shown in FIG. 6, when the receiving part 61 and the lid part 62 are combined, the spherical part 40 of the movable member 31 is placed in the spherical accommodation space 63 formed by the first accommodation recess 63A and the second accommodation recess 63B. At the same time, the fixed piece 42 of the movable member 31 is arranged outside the case 32 . At this time, the movable member 31 is held in the case 32 with the electric wire member 20 fixed to the fixed piece 42 by the fixed member 90. Moreover, the spherical part 40 accommodated in the accommodation space 63 is provided between the receiving part 61 and the lid part 62, and is sandwiched between the receiving part 61 and the lid part 62. Further, the spherical portion 40 is held within the housing space 63 so as to be freely rotatable relative to the spherical housing space 63. For example, the spherical portion 40 is rotatably held in the housing space 63 in the circumferential direction of the electric wire member 20 . For example, the spherical portion 40 is held in the housing space 63 so as to be slidable in each direction in the cross section of the wire member 20. That is, the spherical portion 40 is held in the case 32 so as to be movable up, down, left, right, and diagonally in the cross section of the wire member 20. Since the electric wire member 20 is fixed to the movable member 31 having such a spherical portion 40, the electric wire member 20 is held by the protector 30 (the case 32 and the movable member 31) so as to be movable with respect to the case 32. For example, the wire member 20 is held by the protector 30 so as to be rotatable in the circumferential direction of the wire member 20 with respect to the case 32 . For example, the electric wire member 20 is held by the protector 30 so as to be movable up, down, left, right, and diagonally in a cross section of the electric wire member 20 with respect to the case 32 . Thereby, as shown in FIG. 7, the direction in which the wire member 20 is pulled out from the outlet 73A of the case 32 can be easily changed. In other words, even if the route of the wire harness 10 is changed due to the movement of the movable body B1 (see FIG. 1), for example, the drawing direction of the electric wire member 20 can be easily changed to correspond to the route change. can be done. At this time, since the electric wire member 20 is fixed to the fixed piece 42 of the movable member 31 by the fixing member 90 (tape member 91), relative movement of the electric wire member 20 with respect to the movable member 31 is restricted. Therefore, when the direction in which the wire member 20 is pulled out is varied, it is possible to suitably suppress the positional shift of the wire member 20 with respect to the movable member 31.
　ここで、収容部４１から引き出される電線部材２０の可動範囲は、例えば、ケース３２、具体的には導出口７３Ａ，７３Ｂと固定片４２又は電線部材２０との接触により規制される。このとき、図６に示すように、導出口７３Ａ，７３Ｂは、収容空間６３から導出口７３Ａ，７３Ｂの開口端に向かうに連れて開口幅が広がるように形成されている。これにより、導出口７３Ａ，７３Ｂから引き出される電線部材２０の可動範囲を広く設定することができる。さらに、電線部材２０と接触する可能性のある導出口７３Ａ，７３Ｂの開口端が円弧状に湾曲した曲面に形成されている。このため、導出口７３Ａ，７３Ｂの開口端に電線部材２０が接触した場合であっても、電線部材２０が損傷することを好適に抑制できる。 Here, the movable range of the electric wire member 20 pulled out from the housing portion 41 is regulated by, for example, contact between the case 32, specifically the outlet ports 73A and 73B, and the fixed piece 42 or the electric wire member 20. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the outlet ports 73A, 73B are formed such that the opening width increases from the accommodation space 63 toward the open end of the outlet ports 73A, 73B. Thereby, the movable range of the electric wire member 20 drawn out from the outlet ports 73A and 73B can be set wide. Furthermore, the open ends of the outlet ports 73A and 73B that may come into contact with the electric wire member 20 are formed into curved surfaces curved in an arc shape. Therefore, even if the wire member 20 comes into contact with the open ends of the outlet ports 73A and 73B, damage to the wire member 20 can be suitably suppressed.
　次に、本実施形態の作用効果を説明する。
　（１）プロテクタ３０は、電線部材２０を保持する筒状の可動部材３１と、可動部材３１を回転可能に保持するケース３２とを有する。可動部材３１は、電線部材２０が貫通する収容部４１を有する筒状の球状部４０と、球状部４０の外周面から外側に突出するとともに電線部材２０が固定される固定片４２とを有する。この構成によれば、電線部材２０が固定される固定片４２が可動部材３１に設けられる。この固定片４２に電線部材２０を固定することにより、可動部材３１に対して電線部材２０を固定することができる。これにより、可動部材３１に対する電線部材２０の相対移動を規制することができる。したがって、可動部材３１に対する電線部材２０の位置ずれを好適に抑制できる。 Next, the effects of this embodiment will be explained.
(1) The protector 30 includes a cylindrical movable member 31 that holds the electric wire member 20 and a case 32 that rotatably holds the movable member 31. The movable member 31 has a cylindrical spherical part 40 having a housing part 41 through which the electric wire member 20 passes, and a fixed piece 42 that projects outward from the outer peripheral surface of the spherical part 40 and to which the electric wire member 20 is fixed. According to this configuration, the movable member 31 is provided with the fixing piece 42 to which the electric wire member 20 is fixed. By fixing the electric wire member 20 to this fixed piece 42, the electric wire member 20 can be fixed to the movable member 31. Thereby, relative movement of the electric wire member 20 with respect to the movable member 31 can be restricted. Therefore, the positional shift of the electric wire member 20 with respect to the movable member 31 can be suitably suppressed.
　（２）ところで、従来の可動部材では、電線部材が貫通する収容部の内周面に凸条を設け、その凸条をコルゲートチューブの凹溝に係合させることにより、可動部材に対する電線部材の相対移動を規制している。しかし、このような構成では、コルゲートチューブのサイズが変更されると、可動部材の凸条をコルゲートチューブの凹溝に係合させることができなくなるため、可動部材に対する電線部材の相対移動を規制できなくなる。また、従来の構成では、外装部材がコルゲートチューブ以外の外装部材に変更された場合には、可動部材に対する電線部材の相対移動を規制できなくなる。 (2) In the conventional movable member, a convex strip is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the accommodating portion through which the electric wire member passes, and by engaging the convex strip with the groove of the corrugated tube, the electric wire member is attached to the movable member. It regulates relative movement. However, in such a configuration, when the size of the corrugated tube is changed, the protrusions of the movable member cannot be engaged with the grooves of the corrugated tube, so the relative movement of the electric wire member with respect to the movable member cannot be restricted. It disappears. Further, in the conventional configuration, when the exterior member is changed to an exterior member other than a corrugated tube, it becomes impossible to restrict the relative movement of the electric wire member with respect to the movable member.
　これに対し、本実施形態の可動部材３１では、電線部材２０が固定される固定片４２が、電線部材２０が貫通する球状部４０の外側に設けられている。このため、球状部４０の外側において電線部材２０を固定することができる。これにより、球状部４０の収容部４１の内周面と電線部材２０の外周面との間に大きな隙間が生じる場合であっても、球状部４０の外側に設けられた固定片４２に電線部材２０を好適に固定することができる。したがって、収容部４１に貫通可能な大きさの電線部材２０であれば、種々の大きさの電線部材２０に対して可動部材３１を取り付けることが可能である。このため、電線部材２０のサイズ変更に容易に対応することができる。さらに、従来の凸条のようなコルゲートチューブのみに特化した構造ではなく、テープ部材９１等の汎用性の高い固定部材９０によって電線部材２０を固定片４２に固定することができる。このため、外装部材２２が種々の外装部材に変更になった場合であっても、電線部材２０を固定片４２に好適に固定することができる。 In contrast, in the movable member 31 of this embodiment, the fixed piece 42 to which the electric wire member 20 is fixed is provided on the outside of the spherical portion 40 through which the electric wire member 20 passes. Therefore, the electric wire member 20 can be fixed on the outside of the spherical portion 40. As a result, even if a large gap occurs between the inner circumferential surface of the accommodating portion 41 of the spherical portion 40 and the outer circumferential surface of the electric wire member 20, the electric wire member 20 can be suitably fixed. Therefore, the movable member 31 can be attached to the electric wire members 20 of various sizes as long as the electric wire members 20 are large enough to penetrate the housing portion 41. Therefore, it is possible to easily accommodate changes in the size of the wire member 20. Furthermore, the electric wire member 20 can be fixed to the fixing piece 42 using a highly versatile fixing member 90 such as a tape member 91, instead of a structure specialized only for corrugated tubes such as the conventional convex strip. Therefore, even if the exterior member 22 is changed to a different exterior member, the electric wire member 20 can be suitably fixed to the fixing piece 42.
　（３）固定部材９０は、電線部材２０と固定片４２とを囲うように巻き付けられ、電線部材２０を固定片４２に固定するテープ部材９１である。この構成によれば、テープ部材９１を用いた簡易な方法によって、電線部材２０を固定片４２に固定することができる。また、テープ部材９１を巻き付ける方法であるため、電線部材２０のサイズ変更に容易に対応することができる。 (3) The fixing member 90 is a tape member 91 that is wrapped around the electric wire member 20 and the fixing piece 42 to fix the electric wire member 20 to the fixing piece 42. According to this configuration, the electric wire member 20 can be fixed to the fixing piece 42 by a simple method using the tape member 91. Moreover, since the method is to wrap the tape member 91, it is possible to easily accommodate changes in the size of the electric wire member 20.
　（４）固定片４２の第１端面４２Ａは、電線部材２０の外周面に沿った形状に形成されている。この第１端面４２Ａに電線部材２０の外周面を接触させた状態で電線部材２０が固定片４２に固定される。このため、固定片４２の第１端面４２Ａと電線部材２０の外周面との接触面積を増大させることができる。これにより、固定片４２に対して電線部材２０を安定して固定することができる。 (4) The first end surface 42A of the fixed piece 42 is formed in a shape along the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire member 20. The electric wire member 20 is fixed to the fixing piece 42 with the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire member 20 in contact with this first end surface 42A. Therefore, the contact area between the first end surface 42A of the fixed piece 42 and the outer peripheral surface of the electric wire member 20 can be increased. Thereby, the electric wire member 20 can be stably fixed to the fixing piece 42.
　（５）固定片４２の第２端面４２Ｂから突出する突出部４２Ｃは、固定片４２の長さ方向において、固定部材９０と係合可能に形成される。この突出部４２Ｃにより、固定片４２の長さ方向において固定片４２に対する固定部材９０の相対移動を規制することができる。これにより、固定部材９０が固定片４２から外れることを好適に抑制できる。 (5) The protruding portion 42C protruding from the second end surface 42B of the fixing piece 42 is formed to be able to engage with the fixing member 90 in the length direction of the fixing piece 42. This protrusion 42C can restrict relative movement of the fixing member 90 with respect to the fixing piece 42 in the length direction of the fixing piece 42. Thereby, it is possible to suitably suppress the fixing member 90 from coming off the fixing piece 42.
　（６）可動部材３１は、第１半球状部４０Ａ及び固定片４２を有する第１分割体５１と第２半球状部４０Ｂを有する第２分割体５２とによって電線部材２０を包囲する筒状に形成されている。これにより、可動部材３１を筒状としながらも、可動部材３１が第１分割体５１と第２分割体５２とに分かれていることで、可動部材３１を電線部材２０に対して後付け可能となる。すなわち、可動部材３１が第１分割体５１と第２分割体５２とに分かれていることで、例えば電線部材２０の長さ方向の端部にコネクタＣ１，Ｃ２を取り付ける等の端末処理を行った後に、その電線部材２０に対して可動部材３１を取り付けることが可能である。この結果、ワイヤハーネス１０の組立作業性を向上できる。 (6) The movable member 31 has a cylindrical shape surrounding the electric wire member 20 by the first divided body 51 having the first hemispherical portion 40A and the fixed piece 42, and the second divided body 52 having the second hemispherical portion 40B. It is formed. As a result, even though the movable member 31 has a cylindrical shape, the movable member 31 is divided into the first divided body 51 and the second divided body 52, so that the movable member 31 can be retrofitted to the electric wire member 20. . That is, by dividing the movable member 31 into the first divided body 51 and the second divided body 52, terminal processing such as attaching connectors C1 and C2 to the ends of the electric wire member 20 in the length direction can be performed. It is possible to attach the movable member 31 to the electric wire member 20 later. As a result, the ease of assembly of the wire harness 10 can be improved.
　（７）第１半球状部４０Ａと第２半球状部４０Ｂとが同じ構造に形成されているため、第１分割体５１及び第２分割体５２の汎用性を向上させることができる。例えば、２つの第１半球状部４０Ａ同士を合体させることが可能になるため、２つの第１分割体５１同士を合体させることができる。 (7) Since the first hemispherical portion 40A and the second hemispherical portion 40B are formed to have the same structure, the versatility of the first divided body 51 and the second divided body 52 can be improved. For example, since it becomes possible to combine the two first hemispherical parts 40A, it is possible to combine the two first divided bodies 51.
　（８）収容部４１の内周面には、複数の凹部４６Ａ，４７Ａ，４６Ｂ，４７Ｂが設けられている。これにより、凹部４６Ａ，４６Ａ，４７Ｂ，４７Ｂが設けられていない場合に比べて、可動部材３１を軽量化できる。この結果、ワイヤハーネス１０全体を軽量化できる。 (8) A plurality of recesses 46A, 47A, 46B, and 47B are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the accommodating portion 41. Thereby, the weight of the movable member 31 can be reduced compared to the case where the recesses 46A, 46A, 47B, and 47B are not provided. As a result, the weight of the entire wire harness 10 can be reduced.
