Abstract
A harness-applied armoring member for inserting electric wires therein is provided, by which an interference between a harness for supplying electric power and a vehicle body is prevented from occurring when a slide door of the vehicle is opened or closed. The bending radius of the armoring member varies depending on the bending direction thereof. A plurality of pieces are connected in series, a bending angle between the pieces is controlled by a stopper, and the bending direction of a front half of the armoring member is set reverse to that of a rear half thereof. Alternatively, a plurality of convex strips in the circumferential direction of the armoring member and concave grooves between the adjacent convex strips are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the armoring member with varying an inner width of the concave groove depending on the bending direction.
