Abstract:
An apparatus for taking up a slack of a wire harness comprising:a housing including a first side plate forming a bottom surface thereof and a second side plate forming an inclined surface thereof; a wire harness accommodating space for accommodating the wire harness in a curved state inside the housing; a first opening for passing the wire harness therethrough formed in the housing; and a second opening for passing the wire harness therethrough formed in a position of the housing in which the first side plate and the second plate are brought close together, the second side plate being formed so as to gradually approach the first side plate toward the second opening, wherein the wire harness and the housing are configured so that substantially all wire harness slack that is taken up and drawn out of the housing is in resiliently sliding contact with an inner surface of at least one of the first side plate and the second side plate and an end portion of the wire harness is led out from the second opening, so that an extension of the wire harness and a resilient taking up of the slack of the wire harness are executed as the end portion of the wire harness is drawn out or pushed in.
