<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a protective structure for a connected part of electric wires, which can adequately protect the connected part of the electric wires. <P>SOLUTION: A wire harness is formed by bundling a plurality of electric wires and used for electric supply and transmission and reception of a signal. The wire harness mainly includes a trunk line, a leading line 31 for a splice and a protective part 40. The protective part 40 is a sheath-shaped body for protecting the vicinity of one end 31a of the leading line 31 for the splice. The protective part 40 is formed by joining a nonwoven fabric 41 in such a state that the vicinity of the one end 31a of a plurality of electric wires 32 and a connected part 36 of the electric wires are covered with the nonwoven fabric 41. The nonwoven fabric 41 mainly includes an elementary fiber which is made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate: a substrate) and formed into a linear shape and a binder fiber which is formed by arranging a sheath-shaped binder material around the elementary fiber. The nonwoven fabric 41 is heated at a temperature of a melting point of the binder material or higher and lower than a melting point of the substrate. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
