The present invention is to prevent twisting of a wiring harness when it is assembled to a vehicle. A wiring harness fastening device for an electric supply line of a sliding door includes a rotational portion having a spherical shape for fastening the wiring harness and a case having a spherical receiving space for rotatably holding the rotational portion, wherein the rotational portion has a protrusion at an outer surface thereof, wherein the receiving space has a rib, and wherein the protrusion abuts to the rib when the wiring harness is twisted. The rotational portion has a circular-shaped rib intersecting with the rib for holding the rotational portion slidably. The case has a wiring harness guide wall with a curved shape to lead out the wiring harness. The wiring harness abuts the wiring harness guide wall prior to the protrusion abuts the rib.

The object of the instant invention is to provide a cable (or the like) protection and guide device in which inadvertent disengagement during operation can be avoided. Engagement between an opening / closing arm and link plates is accomplished by a dual mechanism locking structure. Easy engagement during use allows for excellent durability. The dual locking structure exhibits adequate strength even in smaller scale versions. The cable protection and guide device contains a plurality of link bodies with each link body comprises one link plate and another (110, 110). The link bodies are flexibly connected to each other. Each link body includes a connecting arm (120), an opening / closing arm (130), a hinge connection mechanism (100A), a main locking mechanism (100B), and an auxiliary locking mechanism (100C). A main locking mechanism (100B) secures the opening / closing arm (130) and the link plates (110, 110). An auxiliary locking mechanism (100C) locks the opening / closing arm (130) and the link plates (110, 110).

A cable or the like protection and guide device is disclosed which prevents inadvertent disconnection due to repeated flexure. Excellent fatigue resistance is exhibited. A cable or the like protection and guide device in which pairs of side plates are respectively formed of a highly-rigid resin front side plate portion connected to a preceding side plate and a highly-rigid resin rear side plate portion is connected to a subsequent side plate. A flexible fatigue resistant resin coupling portion is interposed between the front side plate portion and the rear side plate portion in an integrated manner by using a using two-color molding.

An electricity-feeding device includes: a case for accommodating a wire harness bent into a substantially U-shaped form; a slider slidable in the case, in which slider the wire harness is bent and through which the wire harness is led out swingably; and a horizontally long opening disposed between one and the other walls opposite to each other in the case. The slider slides along the opening. The wire harness is bent in traverse from the one wall to the other wall, then bent toward the one wall to be led into the slider, and then led out through the slider and the opening. A rail on which the slider is slidably guided is formed in the vicinity of the opening of the case. A swinging member is formed on the slider. The wire harness is bent and led out through the slider and the swinging member.

There is provided a power-supply device includes: a case receiving a curved wire harness; a guide rail mounted on the case; a slider mounted slidably on the guide rail, through which the wire harness being routed out from the case; an urging member having a resilient part mounted on the slider, and a long rack. The long rack alternately has crests and troughs, and slidably engaged with the resilient part of the urging member. Preferably, the long rack is mounted on the guide rail, and the urging member is mounted on a slidable engaging part of the slider for engaging with the guide rail. Preferably, the urging member is slidably engaged with the slider.

An adjustment device for a cable management arm includes a first support member, a second support member, and a positioning member. The first support member has a plurality of holes. The second support member is movably connected to the first support member and has a through hole. The positioning member is fixed to the second support member and has a positioning portion and a resilient section connected to the positioning portion. When in use, the positioning portion partially extends through the through hole, selectively extends through one of the holes, and then is positioned by a force of the resilient section, such that the extension-length of the second support member relative to the first support member is adjusted.

There is provided an articulated cable protection and guide apparatus that can securely guide cables between a machine frame-side fixing end area and a machine movable-side moving end area without scattering abrasion powder of the articulated supporting members and the cables to the outside and that can be easily installed in the machine frame-side fixing end area and the machine movable-side moving end area. Connector units, fixed to the machine frame-side fixing end area and the machine movable-side moving end area, integrally retain articulated end portions of the articulated supporting member, cable end portions of the cables and slot end portions of the flexible belt member and seal the slot end portions of the flexible belt member.
