Claim 0:
1. A wire harness comprising:
a wire harness main body that includes an electric wire and an exterior tube that covers an outer circumferential surface of the electric wire;
a first path restrictor that is attached to an outer circumferential surface of the exterior tube and restricts a path of the wire harness main body; and
an attachment that is attached to an outer circumferential surface of a portion of the first path restrictor in a lengthwise direction thereof, wherein
the first path restrictor is provided with an insertion port that is open in a direction orthogonal to the lengthwise direction of the first path restrictor, and extends over an entirety of the first path restrictor in the lengthwise direction thereof,
the attachment includes a cover that covers an outer circumferential surface of the first path restrictor, and an elastic portion that is positioned between the cover and at least one of the first path restrictor and the exterior tube in a compressed state,
the cover includes a hole, and each end of the elastic portion is attached to the cover at different sides of the hole, and
the elastic portion is a metal plate that is deformable and is brought into, and kept in, either one of:
(i) a first state in which the elastic portion is bent so as to protrude outward in a radial direction through the hole of the cover; and
(ii) a second state in which the elastic portion is bent so as to protrude inward in a radial direction through the hole of the cover, and is positioned between the cover and at least one of the first path restrictor and the exterior tube in the second state, in a compressed state.
