Abstract
There is provided a wiring harness slack absorbing device (10) being able to receive a folded part (51) of a wiring harness (25) without protrusion on a case body (31), so that a slim case is used for the device (10). The device (10) includes the case (30) for receiving the wiring harness (25) having an inlet 34 and an outlet (35) for the wiring harness (25), an urging member (23) for pulling the wiring harness (25) into the case (30), and a harness roller (15) moving reciprocally under an urging force of the urging member (23). The inlet 34 is disposed perpendicular to the outlet (35). The space for receiving folded part (20) is provided between the case (30) and the urging member (23). The folded part (51) of the wiring harness (25) is led through the inlet and received in the space for receiving folded part (20). A center axis of the urging member (23) is displaced from a center plane of the harness roller (15) in a direction of thickness of the case (30) so as to provide the space for receiving folded part (20).
