摘要

According to one mode of the present invention, a wire harness holding device is disclosed. The wire harness holding device has an electric wire holding portion for holding a predetermined portion of a wire harness; an opening/closing member attached to the electric wire holding portion; and a drive unit for driving the opening/closing member to one of the positions at a predetermined timing. The opening/closing member is movable between the surrounding position where the opening/closing member locks up a wire harness in the electric wire holding portion, and the release position where the opening/closing member releases the wire harness from the electric wire holding portion. Unless the drive unit is operated, the opening/closing member is maintained at the release position or the surrounding position.
