Abstract:
A wire harness includes an electric wire bundle and an exterior member for electric wire. The exterior member for electric wire includes a tubular exterior body for protecting the electric wire bundle, a slit formed in the exterior body along an exterior axis of the exterior body, and an inner portion continuous with a circumferential end portion of the exterior body. The inner portion is disposed on an outer side of the exterior body before the electric wire bundle is accommodated. Further, the inner portion is formed with an electric wire pressed portion against which the electric wire bundle is pressed. Further, the inner portion is pushed into the exterior body through the slit while being deformed so as to be inverted when the electric wire bundle is pressed against the electric wire pressed portion, and is accommodated in the exterior body together with the electric wire bundle.
