The rod-shaped member 100 may be a square cylinder, a cylinder, a prism, or the like.

The wiring member 1 with a support member includes a wiring member 10 and a support member 30. The wiring member 10 is supported by the support member 30. The support member 30 can be attached to the rod-shaped member 100. Therefore, by attaching the support member 30 in the wiring member 1 with the support member to the rod-shaped member 100, the wiring member 10 can be easily assembled to the rod-shaped member 100.

The wiring member 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 2 in addition to FIG. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the wiring member 10.

The wiring member 10 is a wiring member for a vehicle that is connected to a component mounted on a vehicle and / or transmits electricity or light from the component. Therefore, the wiring member 10 includes a transmission member that transmits electricity or light. The wiring member 10 is formed flat. Hereinafter, the wiring member 10 will be described as being a wiring body 12 with a sheet material. The wiring body 12 with a sheet material includes a plurality of linear transmission members 14 and a sheet material 20.

The linear transmission member 14 may be any linear member that transmits electricity or light. For example, the linear transmission member 14 may be a general electric wire having a core wire and a coating around the core wire, or may be a bare conductor wire, a shielded wire, an enamel wire, a nichrome wire, an optical fiber, or the like. The linear transmission member 14 for transmitting electricity may be various signal lines or various power lines.

Here, the linear transmission member 14 has a transmission line main body that transmits electricity or light, and an outer skin that covers the transmission line main body. Hereinafter, the linear transmission member 14 will be described as being a general electric wire 14 (hereinafter, simply referred to as an electric wire 14). That is, the electric wire 14 has a core wire as a transmission line main body and an insulating coating as an outer skin covering the transmission line main body.

The core wire is composed of one or a plurality of strands. The wire is formed of a conductor such as copper, a copper alloy, aluminum, or an aluminum alloy. When the core wire is composed of a plurality of strands, it is preferable that the plurality of strands are twisted. The insulating coating is formed by extruding a resin material such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or PE (polyethylene) around the core wire. Here, the electric wire 14 is a so-called round electric wire having a circular cross section.

Here, a connector C is provided at the end of the electric wire 14. This connector C is connected to, for example, a mating connector provided on an electric component or the like. Here, the connector C is provided on one side of the wiring member 10. The connector C is formed by accommodating the end portion of the electric wire 14 in the electric wire accommodating portion of the housing H. The housing H may or may not be directly fixed to the sheet material 20. The housing H is provided with a cassette portion Hc. A retaining portion (second retaining portion 60) provided on the support member 30 is inserted into the cassette portion Hc and fastened, so that one side portion of the wiring member 10 is fixed to the support member 30.

Here, a plurality of connectors C (two in the example shown in FIG. 2) are provided on one side of the wiring member 10. The plurality of connectors C are provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped member 100. The plurality of connectors C are provided so as to be connectable in the same direction, but may be connected in different directions.

The sheet material 20 keeps a plurality of electric wires 14 in a flat state. Here, the electric wire 14 is arranged on the sheet material 20. A penetrating portion 44, which will be described later, penetrates the sheet material 20. At this time, the sheet material 20 is preliminarily formed with an insertion hole 26 through which the penetrating portion 44 is passed. A part of the sheet material 20 is sandwiched between the support members 30. The sheet material 20 includes an arrangement main body portion 22 in which the electric wire 14 is arranged, and a fixing piece 24 sandwiched between the sheet material 20. An insertion hole 26 is formed in the fixed piece 24.

The electric wire 14 and the sheet material 20 are fixed by fixing means. Welding is adopted here as a means for fixing the electric wire 14 and the sheet material 20. That is, at least one of the electric wire 14 and the sheet material 20 has a resin material, and this resin material is melted and joined to the other side.

The welding means is not particularly limited, and various welding means such as ultrasonic welding, heat and pressure welding, hot air welding, and high frequency welding can be adopted.

The sheet material 20 only needs to be able to fix the electric wire 14, and the material constituting the sheet material 20 is not particularly limited. The material constituting the sheet material 20 may contain, for example, a resin such as PVC, PE, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PP (polypropylene), or a metal such as aluminum or copper. May be good.

The material constituting the sheet material 20 may be set according to the fixing means. For example, when the sheet material 20 and the insulating coating of the electric wire 14 are welded, it is preferable that the arrangement main body portion 22 of the sheet material 20 contains a resin, and the insulating coating of the arrangement main body portion 22 of the sheet material 20 and the electric wire 14 It is more preferable to contain the same resin as. As a result, the insulating coating of the electric wire 14 and the resin sheet material 20 are melted together and joined to each other, so that the welding strength can be increased.

The sheet material 20 may have fibers such as woven fabric, knitted fabric, and non-woven fabric, or may be formed by being bonded without having fibers by extrusion molding or injection molding. .. In the latter case, the sheet material 20 may be a foam molded foam or may be molded so as to have a uniform cross section without being foam molded.

Further, the sheet material 20 may have a one-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. In the latter case, it is considered that the sheet material 20 has a first layer suitable for fixing (welding here) the electric wire 14 and a second layer suitable for other functions such as a protective function, a soundproof function, and a shield function. Be done. In the latter case, the layers having fibers or the layers having no fibers may be overlapped with each other, or the layers having fibers and the layers without fibers may be overlapped with each other.

When the sheet material 20 has a multi-layer structure, the sheet material 20 may be formed by laminating separately molded base materials, or the sheet material 20 may be formed by one extrusion molding or injection molding. May be done.

The plurality of electric wires 14 are arranged side by side on the sheet material 20. The path of the electric wire 14 on the sheet material 20 may be arranged in a straight line, may be arranged in a curved line, or may be appropriately set. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the path of the electric wire 14 has a portion arranged linearly and a portion arranged bent. Here, each electric wire 14 is arranged on the sheet material 20 so as to connect two connectors C provided apart from each other on one side of the wiring member 10.

A fixing piece 24 is provided on the side of the sheet material 20 on the side opposite to the connector C side. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the two fixing pieces 24 project from the intermediate portion of the side edge of the arrangement main body portion 22. Further, each fixing piece 24 is formed in a square shape. However, the position, shape, etc. of the fixed piece 24 are not limited to this. The fixing piece 24 may be formed according to the position, shape, etc. of the retaining portion (first retaining portion 40) of the support member 30 that sandwiches this portion.

The wiring member 10 has flexibility. Due to this flexibility, the wiring member 10 is bent and arranged so as to follow the bent portion of the support member 30.

More specifically, here, the support member 30 is a member that fits into a rod-shaped member 100 such as a reinforcement, and has a portion bent along the circumferential direction on the outer surface thereof. The wiring member 10 has flexibility in the direction in which it is arranged along the circumferential direction of the support member 30. More specifically, here, the sheet material 20 has flexibility. At this time, even if the electric wire 14 is arranged with respect to the sheet material 20, the flexibility of the sheet material 20 is not impaired. As a result, the wiring body 12 with a sheet material has flexibility, and the wiring body 12 with a sheet material is bent and arranged along the circumferential direction even with respect to the support member 30 having a portion that bends in the circumferential direction. Can be set up.

The support member 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5 in addition to FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the support member 30. FIG. 4 is a front view showing the support member 30. FIG. 5 is a side view showing the support member 30.

The support member 30 includes a fitting portion 32, a mounting main body portion 36, and a connecting portion 38. Here, the support member 30 further includes a retaining portion.

The fitting portion 32 is formed in a cylindrical shape that is partially open in the circumferential direction so as to be able to be fitted to the outer peripheral portion of the rod-shaped member 100. For example, the fitting portion 32 is formed in a partial cylindrical shape larger than 180 degrees with respect to the circular rod-shaped member 100. Here, the fitting portion 32 is formed in a partial cylindrical shape of 240 degrees. When the support member 30 is attached to the rod-shaped member 100, the rod-shaped member 100 is inserted into the fitting portion 32 through the opening of the fitting portion 32. At this time, the fitting portion 32 can be elastically deformed so that the opening is widened, whereby the rod-shaped member 100 is housed inside the fitting portion 32.

At the circumferential end of the fitting portion 32, a protrusion 34 that fits into a recess (not shown) formed on the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped member 100 is formed. By fitting the protrusion 34 into the recess while the rod-shaped member 100 is housed in the fitting portion 32, it is possible to prevent the support member 30 from being displaced in the longitudinal direction and the circumferential direction with respect to the rod-shaped member 100. ..

Here, a plurality of fitting portions 32 (two in the example shown in FIG. 1) are provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped member 100. A mounting main body portion 36 is provided between the plurality of fitting portions 32.

The mounting main body portion 36 is formed so as to cover a region smaller than the fitting portion 32 in the periphery of the rod-shaped member 100. For example, the mounting main body portion 36 is formed in a partial cylindrical shape of 180 degrees or less with respect to the circular rod-shaped member 100. Here, the mounting main body portion 36 is formed in a 180-degree partial cylindrical shape.

The fitting portion 32 and the mounting main body portion 36 are connected via a connecting portion 38. The connecting portion 38 covers a region smaller than the fitting portion 32. Further, the connecting portion 38 covers a region smaller than the mounting main body portion 36. As a result, when the support member 30 is elastically deformed so as to widen the opening when the support member 30 is attached to the rod-shaped member 100, the mounting main body portion 36 is less likely to hinder the elastic deformation of the fitting portion 32. ing. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the connecting portion 38 covers 60 degrees with respect to the circular rod-shaped member 100.

Here, the center of the opening of the fitting portion 32 and the center of the opening of the mounting main body portion 36 coincide with each other. On the opposite side of the center of the opening, the connecting portion 38 connects the fitting portion 32 and the mounting main body portion 36. Of course, the connecting portion 38 may connect the fitting portion 32 and the mounting main body portion 36 at other locations. For example, it is conceivable that the connecting portion 38 connects the fitting portion 32 and the mounting main body portion 36 at a portion near one end of the fitting portion 32.

The wiring member 1 with a support member includes a penetration portion 44 and a retaining portion 48. The penetrating portion 44 and the retaining portion 48 are portions for fastening the wiring member 10 to the support member 30 while positioning the wiring member 10.

The extending piece 42 extends in the tangential direction from the circumferential end of the mounting main body portion 36.

The penetrating portion 44 is projected from the outer surface of the extending piece 42 so as to extend outward. The shape of the penetrating portion 44 is not particularly limited. For example, the penetrating portion 44 is formed in a columnar shape, a frustum shape, or the like. The cross section of the penetrating portion 44 is formed in a circular shape, a square shape, or the like. Here, the penetrating portion 44 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The protruding dimension of the penetrating portion 44 is not particularly limited, but it may be set so that the tip end side portion of the penetrating portion 44 can be accommodated in the through hole 51 formed in the retaining portion 48. Further, it is preferable that the tip end side portion of the penetrating portion 44 is set so as not to protrude outward from the through hole 51 formed in the retaining portion 48.

The hinge 46 is a portion that rotatably connects the extension piece 42 and the retaining portion 48. Here, a hinge 46 is provided at the longitudinal end edge of the rod-shaped member 100 among the extension pieces 42. As a result, the retaining portion 48 can rotate around the axis along the extending direction of the extending piece 42 from the mounting main body portion 36 (tangential direction of the end portion of the mounting main body portion 36). Of course, the position of the hinge 46 is not limited to the above. For example, the hinge 46 may be provided at the tip edge portion of the extension piece 42 (the edge portion of the end portion opposite to the end portion connected to the mounting main body portion 36).

The retaining portion 48 is integrally molded with the support member 30 so as to be rotatable with respect to the extension piece 42 via the hinge 46. The retaining portion 48 can be opened and closed by rotating with respect to the extension piece 42.

It will be in a fastened state.

<Mounting method>
A method of attaching the wiring member 10 to the support member 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. 6 and 7 are explanatory views showing how the wiring member 10 is attached to the support member 30.

First, the cassette portion Hc of the connector C is fastened to the second retaining portion 60 with respect to the support member 30 as shown in FIG. In this state, the wiring body 12 with the sheet material is wound around the support member 30 along the outer peripheral portion of the mounting main body portion 36. After that, the penetrating portion 44 is passed through the insertion hole 26 formed in the fixing piece 24 of the sheet material 20. As a result, the state as shown in FIG. 7 is obtained.

After that, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 7, the retaining portion 48 of the first retaining portion 40 is rotated from the open state to the closed state, and the locking recess as the locked portion 52 is engaged as the locking portion 54. Insert and lock the stop protrusion.

From the above, the wiring member 10 is supported by the support member 30, and the wiring member 1 with the support member is completed. The step of attaching the wiring member 10 to the support member 30 is, for example, manufactured in a factory different from the assembly factory where the wiring member 1 with the support member is assembled to the vehicle, and the wiring member 1 with the support member is the assembly factory. It is conceivable that it will be transported to. As a result, in the assembly factory, the wiring member 10 can be assembled to the rod-shaped member 100 by a simple operation of fitting the support member 30 in the wiring member 1 with the support member to the rod-shaped member 100.

According to the wiring member 1 with a support member configured as described above, the wiring member 10 is supported by the support member 30 by preventing the penetrating portion 44 from coming off by the retaining portion 48. At this time, since the penetrating portion 44 penetrates the wiring member 10, the wiring member 10 can be positioned on the support member 30. By supporting the support member 30 that supports the wiring member 10 on the rod-shaped member 100, the rod-shaped member 100 can support the flat wiring member 10.

Further, since the penetrating portion 44 is integrally molded with the support member 30, the penetrating portion 44 is less likely to come off to the outer peripheral side of the wiring member 10 as compared with the case where the penetrating portion 44 is separate from the support member 30. More specifically, when the penetrating portion 44 tries to come off to the outer peripheral side of the wiring member 10, the extending piece of the support member 30 interferes with the wiring member 10 and is difficult to come off.

Further, since the retaining portion 48 is integrally molded with the support member 30 so as to be rotatable via the hinge 46, the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the case where the retaining portion 48 is different from the support member 30.

Further, since the support member 30 further includes a locking portion 54 that locks with the locked portion 52 of the retaining portion 48, the retaining portion 48 can be locked. At this time, since the locking portion 54 is provided separately from the penetrating portion 44, it is easy to obtain a constant locking state.

Further, since the wiring member 10 includes a plurality of electric wires 14 and a sheet material 20 through which the penetrating portion 44 penetrates while keeping the plurality of electric wires 14 in a flat state, the wiring member 10 is flat using a general-purpose electric wire 14. Can be formed.

Further, since the wiring member 10 is sandwiched between the support member 30 and the retaining portion 48, the wiring member 10 is less likely to rattle.

{Modification example}
In the embodiment, it has been described that the support member 30, the penetrating portion 44, and the retaining portion 48 are integrally molded, but this is not an essential configuration. For example, it is conceivable that the penetrating portion 44 and the retaining portion 48 are integrally molded, and the support member 30 is molded separately from this. This case will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

FIG. 8 is a front view showing a wiring member 101 with a support member according to the first modification.

Here, a part in which a penetrating portion and a retaining portion are integrally molded is an example of a pin member. As the pin member, a first pin member 70 and a second pin member 80 are provided.

The first pin member 70 includes a shaft portion 72 as a penetrating portion, a support plate 74 as a retaining portion, and a locking vane portion 76. A support plate 74 is provided at one end of the shaft portion 72, and a locking blade portion 76 is provided at the other end. The locking vane portion 76 is formed so as to gradually separate from the shaft portion 72 toward the support plate 74 side. The locking blade portion 76 can be elastically deformed so that its tip approaches the shaft portion 72.

The support member 130 is formed in a shape obtained by removing the retaining portions 40 and 60 from the support member 30. At this time, it is preferable that the support member 130 and the wiring member 110 are formed with an insertion hole through which the shaft portion 72 is inserted. For example, in the support member 130, an insertion hole is formed in the mounting main body portion 36. The locking vane 76 is elastically deformed so that the insertion hole can be inserted. On the other hand, the support plate 74 is formed in a flat plate shape larger than, for example, the locking vane portion 76, and the insertion hole is formed so as not to be inserted.

The first pin member 70 is inserted into the insertion hole from the wiring member 110 side. That is, the locking vane 76 is first inserted into the insertion hole of the wiring member 110, and is inserted into the support member 130 side with elastic deformation. After that, the shaft portion 72 is also inserted into the insertion hole following the locking blade portion 76. Then, the locking vanes 76 elastically return through the insertion hole formed in the support member 130, and are locked to the peripheral edge of the insertion hole, whereby the first pin member 70 fastens the wiring member 110 to the support member 130. It becomes a state.

The second pin member 80 is formed in a shape in which a pair of locking pieces 82 are connected by a rod-shaped connecting portion 84. The second pin member 80 is formed in a so-called tag pin shape. Of the second pin member 80, the rod-shaped connecting portion 84 forms a penetrating portion. The portion of the second pin member 80 that serves as a retaining portion varies depending on how it is fastened.

More specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 8, one locking piece 82 is located outside the wiring member 110 with the rod-shaped connecting portion 84 penetrating the wiring member 110 and the support member 130, and the other is engaged. The stop piece 82 is located on the outer side of the support member 130. In this case, the locking piece 82 located on the outer side of the wiring member 110 serves as a retaining portion.

For example, the second pin member 80 can be driven with a so-called tag gun. At this time, by driving only one of the locking pieces 82, the state as shown in FIG. 8 is obtained.

On the other hand, it is possible that both of the pair of locking pieces 82 are driven. In this case, the pair of locking pieces 82 are both located on the outer side of the support member 130. A portion of the rod-shaped connecting portion 84 connected to the pair of locking pieces 82 penetrates the support member 130 and the wiring member 110 at separate positions, and the portion in between is located outside the wiring member 110. Therefore, in this case, the rod-shaped connecting portion 84 has a portion forming a penetrating portion and a portion forming a retaining portion.

When driving the second pin member 80 with the tag gun, the support member 130 may or may not have an insertion hole through which the needle of the tag gun can be inserted.

FIG. 9 is a front view showing the wiring member 201 with a support member according to the second modification.

Here, the staple 90 is a part in which the penetrating portion and the retaining portion are integrally molded. The staple 90 can be driven into, for example, a support member 130 at a position where the pin members 70 and 80 are provided. The staple 90 is formed by bending one thin rod-shaped portion into a shape including a retaining portion 92, a penetrating portion 94, and a locking portion 96. More specifically, the middle portion of one thin rod-shaped portion is a retaining portion 92 that stays on the outside of the wiring member 110. The portions connected to both sides of the retaining portion 92 are bent to form a penetrating portion 94 penetrating the wiring member 110 and the support member 130. The tip is bent from the penetrating portion 94 to form a locking portion 96 that locks to the outside of the support member 130. The staple 90 can be driven with a so-called stapler or the like. At this time, the support member 130 may or may not have an insertion hole for passing the staple 90 in advance.

When the pin members 70, 80 and the staple 90 are provided on the support member 130, it is preferable that the pin members 70, 80 and the staple 90 do not come into contact with the rod-shaped member 100. For example, when the pin members 70, 80 and the staple 90 are provided along the rod-shaped member 100 such as the mounting main body portion 36 of the support member 130, the surface of the support member 130 on the rod-shaped member 100 side or this portion. It is preferable that the outer surface of the rod-shaped member 100 facing the surface is recessed. Further, for example, the support member 130 may be provided with a portion separated from the rod-shaped member 100 such as the extension piece 42, and the pin members 70, 80 and the staple 90 may be provided in this portion.

In addition to the above, for example, the support member and the penetrating portion may be integrally molded, and the retaining portion may be formed separately from this. As an example in this case, for example, in the support member 30, it is conceivable that the retaining portion 48 is separated from the support member 30 at the portion of the hinge 46. In this case, for example, it is conceivable that the retaining portion 48 and the support member 30 are provided with another set of the locking portion 54 and the locked portion 52 in place of the hinge 46. Further, in this case, for example, it is conceivable that the two retaining portions 48 are connected to form one member. In this case, it is preferable that the penetrating portion 44 is provided between the two locking portions 54.

Further, for example, the support member and the retaining portion may be integrally molded, and the penetrating portion may be formed separately from this. As an example in this case, for example, in the support member 30, a through hole 51 is formed at the position of the penetration portion 44, and the first pin member 70 is provided with the support member 30 and the wiring member 10 from the support member 30 side as the penetration portion. It is considered that the locking blade portion 76 is inserted and locked in the through hole 51 of the retaining portion 48.

Further, for example, the support member, the penetrating portion, and the retaining portion may be formed as separate bodies. As an example in this case, for example, in the support member 130, the first pin member 70 is inserted in the direction opposite to the example shown in FIG. 8, and the retaining portion having a shape in which a through hole is formed in a flat plate on the outside of the wiring member 110. However, it is conceivable that the first pin member 70 is locked to the locking blade portion 76.

In the case where the support member, the penetrating portion, and the retaining portion are formed separately, the locking blade portion 76 of the first pin member 70 functions as the locking portion 54. As in this case, it is conceivable that the locking portion 54 is integrated with the penetrating portion. That is, although it has been described so far that the locking portion is provided separately from the penetrating portion, this is not an essential configuration, and it is conceivable that the locking portion is integrated with the penetrating portion. In addition to the above example, it is also conceivable that, for example, in the support member 30, a locking portion 54 is provided at the tip of the penetrating portion 44 so as to be locked in the through hole 51 of the retaining portion 48.

Further, although it has been described so far that the locking projection is formed as the locking portion 54 and the locking recess is formed as the locked portion 52, this is not an essential configuration. For example, a locking recess may be formed as the locking portion 54, and a locking projection may be formed as the locked portion 52. Further, for example, a locking projection may be formed as both the locking portion 54 and the locked portion 52.

Further, although the wiring member 10 has been described as being a wiring body 12 with a sheet material, this is not an essential configuration. The wiring member 10 is a so-called FFC (flexible flat cable) in which a plurality of core wires are collectively covered with one coating, or a so-called FPC (flexible printed circuit board) in which a circuit is formed on a conductor foil bonded to a base insulating film. And so on.

Further, even when the wiring member 10 is a wiring body 12 with a sheet material, its configuration is not limited to that described above. Regarding the shape of the linear transmission member 14, for example, the outer shape of the linear transmission member 14 may be formed in a cross-sectional angle shape. In this case, the contact area between the sheet material 20 and the linear transmission member 14 can be easily increased. Further, regarding the fixing means between the linear transmission member 14 and the sheet material 20, for example, the linear transmission member 14 and the sheet material 20 may be joined by an adhesive, an adhesive tape or the like. Further, for example, the linear transmission member 14 may be sewn to the sheet material 20 by sewing thread. Further, the wiring body 12 with a sheet material may have a cover that covers the linear transmission member 14 from the side opposite to the sheet material 20.

Further, until now, the transmission path in the wiring member 10 has been completed in the region supported by the support member 30, but this is not an essential configuration. More specifically, both ends of the electric wire 14 are connected to the connector C supported by the support member 30, but this is not an essential configuration. It is also conceivable that at least one end of the electric wire 14 is connected to the connector C which is not supported by the support member 30. In this case, it is conceivable that the sheet material 20 extends together with the electric wire 14, and it is also conceivable that the electric wire 14 extends outward from the sheet material 20. Further, in this case, the electric wire 14 may extend along the rod-shaped member 100 or may extend away from the rod-shaped member 100.

Further, until now, one wiring member 10 has been supported by one support member 30, but this is not an essential configuration. For example, it is conceivable that one wiring member 10 is supported by a plurality of support members 30. More specifically, when a plurality of support members 30 are attached at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped member 100, it is conceivable that one wiring member 10 is supported across the plurality of support members 30. Be done. Further, for example, it is conceivable that at least a part of the plurality of wiring members 10 is supported by one support member 30. More specifically, in the support member 30, one wiring member 10 is supported by the support member 30 by using the first retaining portion 40 and the second retaining portion 60 on one end side in the longitudinal direction, and the first one on the other end side in the longitudinal direction. It is conceivable that another wiring member 10 is supported by the support member 30 by using the retaining portion 40 and the second retaining portion 60.

Further, although the support member 30 has been described as including the mounting main body portion 36, this is not an essential configuration. For example, the support member may be composed of only the fitting portion 32 or only the fitting portion 32 and the protrusion 34. In this case, it is preferable that the wiring member 10 is fastened to the fitting portion 32.

Further, in the embodiment, it has been described that the retaining portion 48 is maintained in the closed state by locking the locking portion 54 and the locked portion 52, but this is not an essential configuration. For example, it is conceivable that the retaining portion 48 is joined to a part of the wiring member 10 or the support member 30 to maintain the retaining portion 48 in the closed state.

Further, in the embodiment, the wiring member 10 has been described as being sandwiched between the support member 30 and the retaining portion 48, but this is not an essential configuration. It is possible that the wiring member 10 is not sandwiched between the support member 30 and the retaining portion 48.

It should be noted that the configurations described in the above-described embodiment and each modification can be appropriately combined as long as they do not conflict with each other.

Although the present invention has been described in detail as described above, the above description is an example in all aspects, and the present invention is not limited thereto. It is understood that innumerable variations not illustrated can be assumed without departing from the scope of the present invention.
