ELASTIC COVER AND WIRING HARNESS

To provide an elastic cover which is smoothly bendable and a wiring harness equipped with this elastic cover.SOLUTION: A wiring harness 11 is constituted by comprising an elastic cover 12, an electric wire 13 inserted through this elastic cover 12, and a connector 14. The elastic cover 12 is composed of a first cylindrical part 16 and a second cylindrical part 17 which are made of rubber or elastomer, and are formed continuously. The first cylindrical part 16 and the second cylindrical part 17 are formed such that a first axis CL1 of the first cylindrical part 16 intersects a second axis CL2 of the second cylindrical part 17. In a continuous portion 27 of the first cylindrical part 16 and the second cylindrical part 17 is formed a bending assist part 28 to make the second cylindrical part 17 easily bendable to the first cylindrical part 16 so as to change a cross angle of the first axis CL1 and the second axis CL2. The bending assist part 28 is formed to a shape having a recessed thin-wall part 29. Furthermore, it is also formed to a shape having a push-down rib 30.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】スムーズな曲げが可能な弾性カバー、及び、この弾性カバーを備えるワイヤハーネスを提供する。【解決手段】ワイヤハーネス１１は、弾性カバー１２と、この弾性カバー１２に挿通される電線１３と、コネクタ１４とを備えて構成される。弾性カバー１２は、ゴム又はエラストマー製の第一筒部１６及び第二筒部１７が連続して形成される。第一筒部１６及び第二筒部１７は、第一筒部１６の第一軸ＣＬ１が第二筒部１７の第二軸ＣＬ２と交差する配置にて形成される。第一筒部１６及び第二筒部１７の連続部分２７には、第一軸ＣＬ１及び第二軸ＣＬ２の交差角度を変えるような、第一筒部１６に対し第二筒部１７を曲げ易くするための曲げアシスト部２８が形成される。曲げアシスト部２８は、凹み薄肉部２９を有する形状に形成される。また、押し倒しリブ３０を有する形状にも形成される。【選択図】図１
