     SUMMARY 
     Problem to be Solved by the Invention 
     Herein, there may be a case where a sheet material is desired to be formed into a nonlinear shape. Considered as such a case is that when a wire-like transmission member such as an electrical wire is bent and disposed, the sheet material is formed into a bent shape in accordance with a route of the wire-like transmission member, for example. When the sheet material having a nonlinear shape is formed, it is considered that such a sheet material is formed by punching out a large-size parent material into the nonlinear shape directly. However, there is a possibility that a yield is reduced when the large-sized parent material is punched out into the nonlinear shape directly. Even when the sheet material is formed into a linear shape, there is a possibility that a yield is reduced depending on a length. 
     It is an object to provide a technique capable of increasing a yield when a sheet material where the wire-like transmission member is disposed is formed. 
     Means to Solve the Problem 
     A wiring member according to the present disclosure is a wiring member including: a sheet material made by folding one base material or combining a plurality of base materials and processing the one base material or the plurality of base materials to extend to regions different from each other; and a wire-like transmission member fixed on the sheet material. 
     Effects of the Invention 
     According to the present disclosure, a yield can be increased when a sheet material where the wire-like transmission member is disposed is formed.

     DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT(S) 
     Description of Embodiment of Present Disclosure 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure are listed and described firstly. 
     A wiring member according to the present disclosure is as follows. 
     (1) A wiring member according to the present disclosure is a wiring member including: a sheet material made by folding one base material or combining a plurality of base materials and processing the one base material or the plurality of base materials to extend to regions different from each other; and a wire-like transmission member fixed on the sheet material. Accordingly, one base material is folded or the plurality of base materials are combined to extend to the regions different from each other. A base material formed into a shape having a higher yield than a shape of the sheet material such as a quadrangular shape or a band-like shape is used as this base material, thus a yield can be increased at a time of forming the sheet material where a wire-like transmission member is disposed. 
     (2) The sheet material may include a portion where a plurality of base materials are combined to extend to regions different from each other. Accordingly, the sheet material can be processed into a desired shape easily. 
     (3) The sheet material may include a portion where one base material is folded to extend to regions different from each other. Accordingly, increase in the number of base materials can be suppressed. 
     (4) The sheet material may include a first extension part and a second extension part formed by folding one base material or combining a plurality of base materials to be formed to extend in directions intersecting with each other. Accordingly, the sheet material having a bent part can be simply obtained. 
     (5) It is also applicable that the base material constituting each of the first extension part and the second extension part is formed to have directionality in a tensile strength, and the wire-like transmission member is disposed on the first extension part and the second extension part to extend along a direction in which the tensile strength of the base material is strong. Accordingly, easily suppressed is excessive force on the wire-like transmission member when the wiring member is pulled along a longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission member. 
     (6) A fixing member for fixing the wiring member to a fixing target may be provided in a portion where the base material of the first extension part and the base material of the second extension part are overlapped with each other. Accordingly, suppressed is excessive force on the wire-like transmission member by reason that the wiring member is pulled in a direction in which the tensile force of the base material is strong even when a portion closer to a terminal portion side of any of the first extension part and the second extension part in relation to the fixing member in the wiring member is pulled in a state where the fixing member is fixed to a fixing target. Pulling force applied at a time when one side of one of the first extension part and the second extension part in the wiring member is pulled hardly acts on the other side thereof in the state where the fixing member is fixed to the fixing target. 
     (7) The wire-like transmission member may include a wire-like transmission member with a bent part bent and disposed to range from the first extension part to the second extension part. Accordingly, a yield can be increased when a sheet material where a portion in which the wire-like transmission member is bent is disposed is formed. 
     (8) The wire-like transmission member may include a first wire-like transmission member extending along the first extension part and a second wire-like transmission member extending along the second extension part to intersect with the first wire-like transmission member. Accordingly, a yield can be increased when a sheet material where a portion in which the wire-like transmission members intersect with each other is disposed is formed. 
     (9) The plurality of base materials may be combined in a portion linearly extending in the sheet material. Accordingly, a yield can be increased when a sheet material in which a linearly-extending portion is long is formed, for example. 
     (10) A portion where the base materials are combined may be fixed to each other. Accordingly, the base materials are hardly misaligned mutually. 
     (11) There may be a portion where a fixing state of a portion in which the base materials are combined and a fixing state of fixing the sheet material to the wire-like transmission member are the same as each other. Accordingly, the fixation of the base materials and the fixation of the sheet material and the wire-like transmission member can be performed using the same material or apparatus. 
     (12) It is also applicable that the base materials are fixed by a contact area direct fixation in a portion overlapped with each other and in the same position as this, the sheet material and the wire-like transmission member may be fixed by a contact area direct fixation. Accordingly, the fixation of the base materials and the fixation of the sheet material and the wire-like transmission member can be performed by one step. 
     (13) There may be a portion where a fixing state of a portion in which the base materials are combined and a fixing state of fixing the sheet material to the wire-like transmission member are different from each other. Accordingly, a fixing structure appropriate for each of the fixation of the base materials and the fixation of the sheet material and the wire-like transmission member can be adopted. 
     (14) A method of manufacturing a wiring member according to the present disclosure includes steps of: (a) folding one base material or combining a plurality of base materials to form a sheet material processed to extend to regions different form each other; (b) locating a wire-like transmission member on the sheet material; and (c) fixing the sheet material and the wire-like transmission member. 
     (15) The method of manufacturing the wiring member further includes a step of (d) fixing a portion where the base materials are overlapped with each other, wherein the step of (c) and the step of (d) may be performed by the same fixing means in the portion where the base materials are overlapped with each other. Accordingly, a lead time can be reduced in the fixation of the base materials and the fixation of the sheet material and the wire-like transmission member. 
     Details of Embodiment of Present Disclosure 
     Specific examples of a wiring member of the present disclosure are described hereinafter with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to these examples, but is indicated by claims, and it is intended that meanings equivalent to claims and all modifications within a scope of claims are included. 
     First Embodiment 
     A wiring member according to a first embodiment is described hereinafter.  FIG. 1  is a plan view illustrating a wiring member  10  according to the first embodiment.  FIG. 2  is a cross-sectional view of the wiring member  10  cut along a II-II line in  FIG. 1 .  FIG. 3  is a perspective view illustrating a formation of a sheet material  12  according to the first embodiment. 
     The wiring member  10  is a member joined to a component mounted to the vehicle to transmit electrical power or light to and/or from the component. The wiring member  10  includes a sheet material  12  and a wire-like transmission member  30  fixed on the sheet material  12 . The wiring member  10  is flatly formed. 
     The sheet material  12  keeps the plurality of wire-like transmission members  30  in a flat state. The sheet material  12  is processed into a nonlinear shape to extend to regions different from each other. That is to say, the sheet material  12  is processed to extend to a linear first region and a second region deviating from the first region. Herein, the plurality of linear regions intersect with each other and extend in the sheet material  12 , thus the sheet material  12  extends to the regions different from each other. The plurality of linear region in the sheet material  12  is referred to as an extension part  14  hereinafter. That is to say, the sheet material  12  includes the plurality of extension parts  14  formed to extend in directions intersecting with each other. The two extension parts  14  adjacent to each other in the plurality of extension parts  14  can be deemed as first and second extension parts  15  and  16 . 
     The sheet material  12  is made by folding one base material  20  or combining a plurality of base materials  20  and processing one base material  20  or the plurality of base materials  20  to extend to regions different from each other. Herein, a state where the base material extends to regions different from each other indicates a state where a folded part or a combined part is not completely overlapped. In the sheet material  12 , a wire-like transmission member  30  is fixed to each portion where one base material  20  is folded or the plurality of base materials  20  are combined to extend to the regions different from each other. In the sheet material  12 , the portion where one base material  20  is folded or the plurality of base materials  20  are combined to extend to the regions different from each other may include a bent part, a branched part, a part where a width dimension changes, a portion linearly extending with the same width dimension in the sheet material  12 , for example. Accordingly, the sheet material  12  includes a base material-combined part  24  which is a portion where one base material  20  is folded and combined or a portion where the plurality of base materials  20  are combined. Herein, the sheet material  12  includes a portion where the plurality of base materials  20  are combined to extend to the regions different from each other. Accordingly, the base material-combined part  24  is the portion where the plurality of base materials  20  are combined. 
     Specifically, the sheet material  12  is formed by combining the three base materials  20 . The base materials  20  are each provided to intersect with each other. Thus, the sheet material  12  includes the three extension parts  14 . This three extension parts  14  are referred to as a first extension part  15 , a second extension part  16 , and a third extension part  17  in some cases hereinafter. 
     Herein, the base materials  20  are combined in a form of being overlapped with each other. More specifically, the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other in the base material-combined part  24 . The portion were the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other is fixed. The fixation of the base materials  20  is described in detail hereinafter. 
     Herein, the base materials  20  are combined in a position of each end portion. Thus, the base material-combined part  24  is provided on the end portion of the base material  20 . Needless to say, there may be a case where the base materials  20  are combined in a position other than the end portion, that is to say, an intermediate portion. This case is described in detail hereinafter. 
     Herein, the three or more base materials  20  are combined to be continuously arranged. Thus, the two or more base material-combined parts  24 , more specifically, the base material-combined parts  24  fewer than the base materials  20  by one in number are provided, and the two base materials  20  are combined in each base material-combined part  24 . Needless to say, the three or more base materials  20  may be combined not to be continuously arranged even in a case where they are combined. That is to say, the three or more base materials  20  may also be combined in one base material-combined part. In this case, the base material  20  is considered to be branched in the base material-combined part where the three or more base materials  20  are combined. 
     Herein, the base materials  20  are combined to be perpendicular to each other. Needless to say, there may also be a case where the base materials  20  are not perpendicular to each other. It is sufficient that the base materials  20  are combined at a desired angle ranging from 0 to 180 degrees. 
     A material constituting the base material  20  is not particularly limited, but may contain resin such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polypropylene (PP), for example, or may contain metal such as aluminum or copper. A structure of the base material  20  is not particularly limited, however, a fiber material having fibers such as a woven cloth, a knitted cloth, and a non-woven cloth, for example, may be applicable, and a non-fiber material which does not have fibers such as a member made up by extrusion molding or injection molding may also be applicable. When the base material  20  is a non-fiber material made up by extrusion molding or injection molding, a foam made up by foam molding or a solid material which is not foam-molded but is uniformly solid may also be applicable. The plurality of base materials  20  may be formed of the same material and have the same structure, or may be formed of different materials and have different structures. 
     Each base material  20  may have only a single layer or a plurality of layers. When the base material  20  has a plurality of layers, a material and a structure in each layer can be appropriately set. For example, the base material  20  may be made up of a resin layer and a resin layer overlapped with each other, a resin layer and a metal layer overlapped with each other, or a metal layer or a metal layer overlapped with each other. The base material  20  may be made up of a non-fiber material layer and a non-fiber material layer overlapped with each other, a non-fiber material layer and a fiber material layer overlapped with each other, or a fiber material layer and a fiber material layer overlapped with each other. 
     Herein, each base material  20  is formed into a rectangular shape, however, this configuration is not necessary. The base material  20  may have the other shape such as a trapezoidal shape, a parallelogram shape, or a square shape, for example. The base material  20  is preferably formed into a shape being able to be cut out from a parent material easily. In combining the plurality of base materials  20 , the base materials  20  having different shapes may be combined. 
     Herein, each base material  20  is formed into a shape having the same width dimension and length dimension, however, this configuration is not necessary. It is also considered that the base material  20  having different width dimensions or length dimensions are combined. 
     It is sufficient that the wire-like transmission member  30  is a wire-like member transmitting electrical power or light. For example, the wire-like transmission member  30  may be a general wire having a core wire and an insulating covering around the core wire, or may also be a bare conductive wire, an enamel wire, a nichrome wire, or an optical fiber. 
     The wire-like transmission member  30  transmitting the electrical power may be various kinds of signal lines or various kinds of power lines. The wire-like transmission member  30  transmitting the electrical power may be used as an antenna or coil, for example, transmitting or receiving a signal or electrical power to or from a space. 
     The wire-like transmission member  30  is considered to include a transmission wire body  36  transmitting electrical power or light and a covering  38  covering the transmission wire body  36 . When the wire-like transmission member  30  is a general wire, for example, the transmission wire body  36  corresponds to a core wire, and the covering  38  corresponds to an insulating covering. The core wire includes one or a plurality of strands. Each strand is formed of a conductive material such as copper, copper alloy, aluminum, and aluminum alloy, for example. When the core wire is made up of the plurality of strands, the plurality of strands are preferably stranded. The insulating covering is formed of a resin material such as PVC or PE extrusion-molded around the core wire. 
     The wire-like transmission member  30  in the example illustrated in  FIG. 1  is a wire-like transmission member with a bent part  31  bent and disposed to range from the first extension part  15  to the second extension part  16 . Furthermore, in the example illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the wire-like transmission member with the bent part  31  is also bent to range from the second extension part  16  to the third extension part  17 . 
     The fixation of the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  and the fixation of the base materials  20  in the wiring member  10  are described herein. In the example illustrated in  FIG. 1 , fixing parts FP 1 , FP 2 , and FP 3  are formed in the wiring member  10 . The fixing part FP 1  is a part where the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  are fixed to each other. The fixing part FP 2  is a part where the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  are fixed to each other, and the base materials  20  are fixed. In the fixing part FP 2 , a portion where the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other are fixed in the base material-combined part  24 . The fixing part FP 3  is a part where the base materials  20  are fixed. More specifically, in the fixing part FP 3 , a portion where the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other is fixed in the base material-combined part  24 . In  FIG. 1 , positions of the fixing parts FP 1 , FP 3 , and FP 3  are marked with a circular shape, a triangular shape, and a quadrangular shape for simplifying a recognition of the fixing parts FP 1 , FP 2 , and FP 3 , however, a difference in a shape is just for convenience sake, so that a fixing region of each of the fixing parts FP 1 , FP 2 , and FP 3 , for example, is not formed into this shape. 
     Applicable as the fixing state of the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  in the fixing part FP 1  and the fixing part FP 2  may be a contact area fixation and a non-contact area fixation, or both fixations may be used together. Herein, the contact area fixation indicates that a portion where the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  have contact with each other is stuck and fixed. The non-contact area fixation indicates the fixing state which is not the contact area fixation. For example, a sewing thread, the other sheet material, or an adhesive tape presses the wire-like transmission member  30  toward the sheet material  12 , or sandwiches the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  to keep them in the fixing state. In the description hereinafter, the wire-like transmission member  30  and the sheet material  12  are in the state of the contact area fixation. 
     Applicable as the configuration of the contact area fixation are a contact area indirect fixation and a contact area direct fixation, or both fixations may also be used together in regions different from each other. Herein, the contact area indirect fixation indicates that the wire-like transmission member  30  and the sheet material  12  are indirectly stuck and fixed via an adhesive agent, a gluing agent, and a double-sided adhesive tape provided therebetween. The contact area direct fixation indicates that the wire-like transmission member  30  and the sheet material  12  are directly stuck and fixed without an intervention of the adhesive agent, for example, which is separately provided. Considered in the contact area direct fixation is that resin included in at least one of the wire-like transmission member  30  and the sheet material  12  is melted, thus the wire-like transmission member  30  and the sheet material  12  are stuck and fixed, for example. In the description hereinafter, the wire-like transmission member  30  and the sheet material  12  are in the state of the contact area direct fixation. 
     In forming the state of such a contact area direct fixation, the resin is considered to be melted by heat or a solvent, for example. That is to say, the state of the contact area direct fixation may be the state of the contact area direct fixation by the heat or the state of the contact area direct fixation by the solvent. The contact area direct fixation by the heat is preferable. 
     At this time, a means of forming the state of the contact area direct fixation is not particularly limited, but a known means such as welding, fusion, and melting joint can be used. For example, when the state of the contact area direct fixation by the heat is formed by welding, various welding means such as ultrasonic welding, heating-pressurizing welding, hot air welding, and high frequency welding can be adopted. When the state of the contact area direct fixation is formed by these means, the wire-like transmission member  30  and the sheet material  12  are in the state of the contact area direct fixation by these means. Specifically, when the state of the contact area direct fixation is formed by the ultrasonic welding, for example, the wire-like transmission member  30  and the sheet material  12  are in the state of the contact area direct fixation by the ultrasonic welding. 
     In the case of the contact area direct fixation, only one of the resin included in the covering  38  of the wire-like transmission member  30  and the resin included in the sheet material  12  may be melted, or both of them may be melted. In the former case, the resin which has been melted is stuck on an outer surface of the resin which has not been melted, and a relatively clear interface may be formed in some cases. In the latter case, there may be a case where both the resins are mixed and a clear interface is not be formed. Particularly, when the covering  38  of the wire-like transmission member  30  and the sheet material  12  include compatible resin such as the same resin material, for example, there may be a case where both the resins are mixed and a clear interface is not be formed. 
     With regard to a fixing region of the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30 , in the example illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  are partially fixed along an extension direction of the wire-like transmission member, however, this configuration is not necessary. The sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  may be continuously fixed along the extension direction of the wire-like transmission member. Even in the case where the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  are partially fixed along the extension direction of the wire-like transmission member, a position thereof is not limited to the position illustrated in the drawings. Intervals between adjacent fixation positions and a size of each fixation position, for example, may be appropriately set. 
     Applicable as the fixing state of the base materials  20  in the fixing part FP 2  and the fixing part FP 3  may be a contact area fixation and a non-contact area fixation, or both fixations may be used together. Herein, the contact area fixation indicates that a portion where the base materials  20  have contact with each other is stuck and fixed. The non-contact area fixation is a fixing state which is not the contact area fixation, and indicates that a sewing thread, the other sheet material, an adhesive tape, or a stapler presses the base materials  20  or sandwiches the base materials  20  to keep them in a fixing state. In the description hereinafter, the base materials  20  are in the state of the contact area fixation. 
     Applicable as the configuration of the contact area fixation are a contact area indirect fixation and a contact area direct fixation, or both fixations may also be used together in regions different from each other. Herein, the contact area indirect fixation indicates that the base materials  20  are indirectly stuck and fixed via an adhesive agent, a gluing agent, and a double-sided adhesive tape provided therebetween. The contact area direct fixation indicates that the base materials  20  are directly stuck and fixed without an intervention of the adhesive agent, for example, which is separately provided. Considered in the contact area direct fixation is that resin included in at least one of the two base materials  20  is melted, thus the base materials  20  are stuck and fixed, for example. In the description hereinafter, the base materials  20  are in the state of the contact area direct fixation. 
     In forming the state of such a contact area direct fixation, the resin is considered to be melted by heat or a solvent, for example. That is to say, the state of the contact area direct fixation may be the state of the contact area direct fixation by the heat or the state of the contact area direct fixation by the solvent. The contact area direct fixation by the heat is preferable. 
     At this time, a means of forming the state of the contact area direct fixation is not particularly limited, but a known means such as welding, fusion, and melting joint can be used. For example, when the state of the contact area direct fixation by the heat is formed by welding, various welding means such as ultrasonic welding, heating-pressurizing welding, hot air welding, and high frequency welding can be adopted. When the state of the contact area direct fixation is formed by these means, the base materials  20  are in the state of the contact area direct fixation by these means. Specifically, when the state of the contact area direct fixation is formed by the ultrasonic welding, for example, the base materials  20  are in the state of the contact area direct fixation by the ultrasonic welding. 
     in the case of the contact area direct fixation, only one of the resin included in the two base materials  20  may be melted, or both of them may be melted. In the former case, the resin which has been melted is stuck on an outer surface of the resin which has not been melted, and a relatively clear interface may be formed in some cases. In the latter case, there may be a case where both the resins are mixed and a clear interface is not be formed. Particularly, when the two base materials  20  include compatible resin such as the same resin material, for example, there may be a case where both the resins are mixed and a clear interface is not be formed. 
     With regard to the fixing region of the base material  20 , a part of the portion where the two base materials  20  are overlapped with each other is partially fixed in the example illustrated in  FIG. 1 , however, this configuration is not necessary. The portion where the two base materials are overlapped with each other may be wholly fixed. Also in the case where the part of the portion where the two base materials  20  are overlapped with each other is partially fixed, a position thereof is not limited to that illustrated in the drawings. It is preferable that a corner or an edge, for example, of the portion where the two base materials  20  are overlapped with each other is fixed. 
     In this manner, all of the fixing parts FP 1 , FP 2 , and FP 3  are fixed by the contact area direct fixation. Thus, there is a portion where the fixing state of the portion where the base materials  20  are combined and the fixing state of fixing the sheet material  12  to the wire-like transmission member  30  are the same as each other. Specifically, in the example illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the fixing part FP 3  and the fixing part FP 1  are in the same fixing state. The fixing state of the base material  20  in the fixing part FP 2  and the fixing state of fixing the sheet material  12  to the wire-like transmission member  30  in the fixing part FP 2  are the same as each other. The fixing state of the fixing part FP 2  and the fixing state of fixing the sheet material  12  to the wire-like transmission member  30  in the fixing part FP 2  are the same as each other. The fixing state of the base materials  20  in the fixing part FP 2  and the fixing state of the fixing part FP 1  are the same as each other. 
     Furthermore, all of the fixing parts FP 1 , FP 2 , and FP 3  are fixed by the contact area direct fixation, thus the base materials  20  are fixed by the contact area direct fixation in the portion where the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other, and in the same position as this, the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  are fixed by the contact area direct fixation. Specifically, in the example illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the fixing state of the base material  20  in the fixing part FP 2  is the contact area direct fixation and the fixing state of fixing the sheet material  12  to the wire-like transmission member  30  in the fixing part FP 2  is the contact area direct fixation. 
     &lt;Manufacturing Method&gt; 
     A method of manufacturing the wiring member  10  is described next. 
     The method of manufacturing the wiring member  10  includes the following Step (a) to Step (c). Herein, the method of manufacturing the wiring member  10  further includes the following Step (d). 
     Step (a) is a step of folding one base material  20  or combining a plurality of base materials  20  to form the sheet material  12  processed to extend to regions different from each other. Herein, the plurality of base materials  20  are combined to form the sheet material  12  processed to extend in the regions different from each other. 
     Step (b) is a step of locating the wire-like transmission member  30  on the sheet material  12 . Herein, the wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed to extend to the three continuous extension parts  14  in the sheet material  12 . 
     Step (c) is a step of fixing the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30 . Herein, the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  are fixed to each other by a contact area direct fixation by ultrasonic welding, for example. 
     Step (d) is a step of fixing the portion where the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other. Herein, the base materials  20  are fixed by the contact area direct fixation by ultrasonic welding, for example. 
     At this time, Step (c) and Step (d) are considered to be performed by the same fixing means in the portion where the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other. Specifically, as illustrated by a virtual line in  FIG. 2 , it is considered that a horn  80  and an anvil  82  sandwich the two base materials  20  and the wire-like transmission member  30  to perform ultrasonic welding. Accordingly, the base materials  20  are fixed by the contact area direct fixation and the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  are fixed to each other by the contact area direct fixation in the same position to form the fixing part FP 2  described above. The ultrasonic welding is also performed in positions corresponding to the positions of the fixing part FP 1  and the fixing part FP 3  described above, respectively, to form the fixing part FP 1  and the fixing part FP 3  described above. The fixing parts FP 1 , FP 2 , and FP 3  are formed in this manner to form the wiring member  10 . 
     According to the wiring member  10  having the above configuration and the method of manufacturing the wiring member  10 , the one base material  20  is folded or the plurality of base materials  20  are combined to form the sheet material  12  extending to the regions different from each other. A base material formed into a shape having a higher yield than a shape of the sheet material  12  such as a band-like shape is used as this base material  20 , thus a yield can be increased at a time of forming the sheet material  12  where the wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed. 
     The sheet material  12  includes a portion where the plurality of base materials  20  are combined to extend to the regions different from each other. Accordingly, the sheet material  12  can be processed into a desired shape. 
     The sheet material  12  includes the first extension part  15  and the second extension part  16  formed by folding one base material  20  or combining the plurality of base materials  20  to be formed to extend in directions intersecting with each other. Accordingly, the sheet material  12  having a bent part can be simply obtained. 
     The wire-like transmission member  30  includes the wire-like transmission member with the bent part  31  bent and disposed to range from the first extension part  15  to the second extension part  16 . As described above, a yield can be increased when the sheet material  12  where the portion in which the wire-like transmission member  30  is bent is disposed is formed. 
     The portion where the base materials  20  are combined is fixed, thus the base materials  20  are hardly misaligned mutually. 
     There is a portion where the fixing state of the portion where the base materials  20  are combined and the fixing state of fixing the sheet material  12  to the wire-like transmission member  30  are the same as each other. Accordingly, the fixation of the base material  20  and the fixation of the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  can be performed using the same material or apparatus. 
     The base materials  20  are fixed by the contact area direct fixation in the portion where the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other, and in the same position as this, the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  are fixed by the contact area direct fixation. Accordingly, the fixation of the base materials  20  and the fixation of the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  can be performed by one step. A lead time can be reduced in the fixation of the base materials  20  and the fixation of the sheet material  12  and the wire-like transmission member  30  by performing the fixation by the same fixing means at this time. 
     Second Embodiment 
     A wiring member according to a second embodiment is described.  FIG. 4  is a plan view illustrating a wiring member  110  according to the second embodiment.  FIG. 5  is a perspective view illustrating a formation of a sheet material  112  according to the second embodiment. In the following description of the present embodiment, the same reference numerals are assigned to the similar constituent elements described above, and the description thereof will be omitted. The illustration of the fixing parts FP 1 , FP 2 , and FP 3  is omitted. The same applies to the description of each embodiment hereinafter. 
     A shape of a sheet material  112  in the wiring member  110  is different from that of the sheet material  12  in the wiring member  10 . Specifically, the sheet material  112  includes a portion where one base material  20  is folded to extend to regions different from each other. When one base material  20  is folded to form the sheet material  112 , a portion of both sides of a fold line along which the base material  20  is folded is normally overlapped with other in a base material-combined part  24 . 
     The sheet material  112  is formed by folding the base material  20  once so that one main surface of the base material  20  is directed inward (referred to as a valley fold hereinafter). Accordingly, both main surfaces of the base material  20  appear in one main surface of the sheet material  112 . More specifically, in the example illustrated in  FIG. 5 , the two extension parts  14  are formed in the sheet material  112 . One main surface of one of the two extension parts  14  is mainly made up of one main surface of the base material  20 , and one main surface of the other one of the two extension parts  14  is mainly made up of the other main surface of the base material  20 . 
     In the example illustrated in  FIG. 5 , when the base material  20  is seen from a side of the other main surface thereof, the base material  20  is formed by being folded once so that the other main surface of the base material  20  is directed outward (referred to as a mountain fold hereinafter). At this time, it is optionally set which main surface is directed inward when the valley fold is performed. Accordingly, a way to fold the base material  20  m times by the valley fold and n times by the mountain fold (m and n are each integral number equal to or larger than 0 and at least one of them is a natural number) is deemed to be substantially the same as a way to fold the base material  20  n times by the valley fold and m times by the mountain fold. 
     The sheet material formed by folding the base material  20  may be formed by folding the base material  20  by the other way. 
     For example, the sheet material may be formed by folding the base material  20  several times by the valley fold. Specifically, two fold lines L 1  and L 2  are formed in the base material  20  illustrated in  FIG. 6 . At this time, the valley fold is performed at both of the two fold lines L 1  and L 2 , thus the sheet material folded to include the two extension parts  14  intersecting with each other (perpendicular to each other in the example illustrated in  FIG. 6 ) is obtained. 
     In this case, particularly in the example illustrated in  FIG. 6 , the both main surfaces of the base material  20  appear in one main surface in the sheet material, and only the other main surface of the base material  20  appears in the other main surface in the sheet material. Accordingly, when there is one main surface on which the wire-like transmission member  30  is intended to be disposed in the base material  20 , it is sufficient that the valley fold is performed so that the other main surface on a side opposite to one main surface is directed inward. Formed in the portion where the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other are a portion where one main surface and one main surface of the base materials  20  are overlapped to face each other and a portion where one main surface and the other main surface of the base materials  20  are overlapped to face each other. 
     For example, the sheet material may also be formed by being folded at least once by both the valley fold and the mountain fold. Specifically, in the base material  20  illustrated in  FIG. 6 , the valley fold is performed at one of the two fold lines L 1  and L 2 , and the mountain fold is performed at the other one of them, thus the sheet material folded to include the two extension parts  14  intersecting with each other (perpendicular to each other in the example illustrated in  FIG. 6 ) is also obtained. 
     In this case, particularly in the example illustrated in  FIG. 6 , only one main surface of the base material  20  appears in one main surface in the sheet material, and only the other main surface of the base material  20  appears in the other main surface in the sheet material. Accordingly, when there is a main surface on which the wire-like transmission member  30  is intended to be disposed in the base material  20 , the main surface appears on one of the main surfaces of the sheet material. Formed in the portion where the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other are a portion where one main surface and one main surface of the base materials  20  are overlapped to face each other and a portion where the other main surface and the other main surface of the base materials  20  are overlapped to face each other. 
     For example, a slit may be appropriately formed in a position to be folded in the base material  20 . Specifically, in the example illustrated in  FIG. 7 , a slit  22  is formed from one side edge toward an intermediate portion in a width direction of the base material  120 . A portion of the base material  120  separated by this slit  22  is overlapped and folded along the fold line L 3 , thus the sheet material folded to include the two extension parts  14  intersecting with each other (having an obtuse angle in the example illustrated in  FIG. 7 ) is obtained. 
     When the sheet material  112  includes the portion where one base material  20  is folded extend to regions different from each other as described above, increase in the number of base materials  20  can be suppressed. 
     Third Embodiment 
     A wiring member according to a third embodiment is described.  FIG. 8  is a plan view illustrating a wiring member  210  according to the third embodiment.  FIG. 9  is a perspective view illustrating a formation of a sheet material  212  according to the third embodiment. 
     In the description described above, the base materials  20  are overlapped with each other in the base material-combined part  24 , however, this configuration is not necessary. Base materials  220  are not overlapped but independently arranged in a base material-combined part  224  as with a wiring member  210  illustrated in  FIG. 8 . In this case, edge portions of the base materials  220  preferably butt against each other. 
     In the example illustrated in  FIG. 8 , the two base materials  220  each having a side  221   a , which has vertexes of acute angle and obtuse angle at both ends, are arranged so that the sides  221   a  butt against each other, thus the sheet material  212  having the two extension parts  14  intersecting with each other is formed without the overlap of the base materials  220 . The two base materials  220  have the same acute angle in the above description, but may be formed to have different angles. 
     Such base materials  220  are formed by cutting a band-like parent material at an acute angle with an extension direction of the parent material, for example. 
     When the two base materials  220  are arranged as with the example in  FIG. 8 , a sum of the acute angles is equal to an angle between an extension direction of the first extension part  15  and an extension direction of the second extension part  16 . Particularly when the two base materials  220  have the same acute angle and the acute angle of the base material  220  is smaller than 45 degrees, an angle between the extension direction of the first extension part  15  and the extension direction of the second extension part  16  becomes an acute angle. When the acute angle of each base material  220  is 45 degrees, the angle between the extension direction of the first extension part  15  and the extension direction of the second extension part  16  becomes right angle. When the acute angle of each base material  220  is larger than 45 degrees, the angle between the extension direction of the first extension part  15  and the extension direction of the second extension part  16  becomes an obtuse angle. 
     Needless to say, a shape of the base material  220  and an arrangement form of the base material  220  are not limited thereto described above. For example, the trapezoidal base material  220  illustrated in  FIG. 8  may also be arranged in an arrangement form other than that in  FIG. 8 . For example, when the base materials  220  are arranged so that the side  221   a  described above of one of the trapezoidal base materials  220  butts against a bottom side  221   b  of the other one of the trapezoidal base materials  220  and the obtuse angle of one of the trapezoidal base materials  220  butts against the acute angle of the other one of the trapezoidal base materials  220 , the two base materials  220  (extension part  14 ) intersect with each other at an angle of 135 degrees. For example, when the base materials  220  are arranged so that the side  221   a  of one of the trapezoidal base materials  220  butts against the bottom side  221   b  of the other one of the trapezoidal base materials  220  and the acute angle of one of the trapezoidal base materials  220  butts against the acute angle of the other one of the trapezoidal base materials  220 , the two base materials  220  (extension part  14 ) intersect with each other at an angle of 45 degrees. 
     For example, it is also considered that the base materials are arranged so that the side  221   a  of the trapezoidal base material  220  illustrated in  FIG. 8  butts against a long side of the rectangular base material  20  illustrated in  FIG. 3 . 
     When the base materials  220  are not overlapped but combined in the base material-combined part  224 , the base materials  220  may be or may not be fixed to each other. When the base materials  220  are fixed to each other, a fixing means thereof is not particularly limited. 
     In the example illustrated in  FIG. 9 , the two base materials  220  are fixed to each other by a fixing member. More specifically, a part of each base material  220  is attached to an adhesive tape T, thus the two base materials  220  are fixed to each other. Herein, when the sheet material  212  and the wire-like transmission member  30  are fixed by the contact area direct fixation in the manner similar to the first embodiment, there is a portion in which a fixing state of a portion where the base materials  220  are combined and a fixing state of fixing the sheet material  212  to the wire-like transmission member  30  are different from each other. In such a case, a fixing structure appropriate for each of the fixation of the base materials  220  and the fixation of the sheet material  212  and the wire-like transmission member  30  can be adopted. 
     Considered as the example of the fixation of the base materials  220  which are combined without the overlap other than the above example is that a thread is sewn or a stapler is locked across the two base materials  220  in a portion where the two base materials  220  butt against each other to fix the two base materials  220 . For example, it is also considered that a portion where the two base materials  220  butt against each other and the wire-like transmission member  30  disposed across the portion are integrally fixed by a contact area fixation. 
     When the base materials  220  are combined without the overlap to form the sheet material  212  in this manner, a level difference is hardly formed in the portion where the wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed across the plurality of base materials  220 . Increase in a thickness dimension of the sheet material  212  can be suppressed by reason that the base materials  220  are not overlapped with each other. 
     Fourth Embodiment 
     A wiring member according to a fourth embodiment is described.  FIG. 10  is a plan view illustrating a wiring member  310  according to the fourth embodiment.  FIG. 11  is a perspective view illustrating a formation of a sheet material  312  according to the fourth embodiment. 
     A shape of the sheet material  312  and an arrangement form of the wire-like transmission member  30  in the wiring member  310  are different from the shape of the sheet materials  12 ,  112 , and  212  and the arrangement form of the wire-like transmission member  30  in the wiring members  10 ,  110 , and  210  described above. 
     With regard to the sheet material  312 , the plurality of base materials  20  are combined in an intermediate portion. In the example illustrated in  FIG. 10 , the two base materials  20  are combined in each intermediate portion. Thus, the sheet material  312  has an X shape and a branch is formed in the sheet material  312 . A base material-combined part  324  is formed in the middle of the base material  20 . 
     Alternatively considered is that an end portion of one of the two base materials  20  and an intermediate portion of the other one of the two base materials  20  are combined. Also in this case, a branch is formed in the sheet material. 
     With regard to the wire-like transmission member  30 , in the above description, the wire-like transmission member  30  is the wire-like transmission member with the bent part  31  bent and disposed to range from the first extension part  15  to the second extension part  16 , however, this configuration is not necessary. There may be a case where the wire-like transmission members  30  are linearly disposed on each of the first extension part  15  and the second extension part  16  and intersect with each other as with the wiring member  310  illustrated in  FIG. 10 . That is to say, the wire-like transmission member  30  includes a first wire-like transmission member  32  extending along the first extension part  15  and a second wire-like transmission member  33  extending along the second extension part  16  and intersecting with the first wire-like transmission member  32 . In the example illustrated in  FIG. 10 , the wire-like transmission member with the bent part  31  bent and disposed across the plurality of extension parts  14  are also disposed as the wire-like transmission member  30 . It is also considered that only the first wire-like transmission member  32  and the second wire-like transmission member  33  are disposed as the wire-like transmission member  30 . 
     According to such a wiring member  310 , a yield can be increased when the sheet material  312  where the portion in which the wire-like transmission members  30  intersect with each other is disposed is formed. 
     Fifth Embodiment 
     A wiring member according to a fifth embodiment is described.  FIG. 12  is a plan view illustrating a wiring member  410  according to the fifth embodiment.  FIG. 13  is a perspective view illustrating a formation of a sheet material  412  according to the fifth embodiment. 
     In the description described above, only one of the configuration that one base material is folded and the configuration that the plurality of base materials are combined in the sheet material is adopted, however, this configuration is not necessary. There may be a case where both the configuration that one base material is folded and the configuration that the plurality of base materials are combined in the sheet material  412  are adopted at the same time as with the wiring member  410  illustrated in  FIG. 12 . That is to say, it is also considered that the plurality of base materials are combined and at least one of the base materials are folded to form the sheet material  412 . 
     Specifically, the sheet material  412  is formed by combining two base materials  420   a  and  420   b  in the example illustrated in  FIG. 12 . At this time, one of the base materials  420   a  is folded to include the three extension parts  14  intersecting with each other. The other one of the base materials  420   b  is not folded, but an intermediate portion thereof is overlapped with the extension part  14  in the middle of the folded base material  420   a . Thus, the sheet material  412  includes one base material-combined part  424 . A branch is formed in two positions in the sheet material  412 . 
     The folded base material  420   a  and the plurality of base materials  420   a  and  420   b  combined with each other are used together in this manner, thus the sheet material  412  having a complex shape is obtained. 
     Sixth Embodiment 
     A wiring member according to a sixth embodiment is described.  FIG. 14  is a plan view illustrating a wiring member  510  according to the sixth embodiment. 
     In the description described above, there is a case where the wire-like transmission member  30  bent or intersects is disposed on the sheet material, however, this configuration is not necessary. There may also be a case where the plurality of wire-like transmission members  30  are just linearly disposed in parallel to each other on a sheet material  512  as with a wiring member  510  illustrated in  FIG. 14 . 
     When the plurality of wire-like transmission members  30  are just linearly disposed in parallel to each other on the sheet material  512  in this manner, there is a redundant part  18  where the wire-like transmission member  30  is not disposed in the sheet material  512  in a flat state as illustrated in  FIG. 14 . The redundant part  18  is considered to be used to wrap the wire-like transmission member  30 , for example. Formed accordingly is the wiring member  510  in which the wire-like transmission member  30  is wrapped with the sheet material  512  in a part of a region along a longitudinal direction and only one side of the wire-like transmission member  30  is covered by the sheet material  512  in the other part of the region. Also considered alternatively is that a fixing member for assembling the wiring member  510  to a vehicle is attached to the redundant part  18 , for example. 
     Herein, the first base material  520   a  and the second base material  520   b  are arranged to extend in the same direction, and a width dimension of the second base material  520   b  is larger than a width dimension of the first base material  520   a , thus the sheet material  512  extends to regions different from each other. Accordingly, the regions different from each other in this case example indicates one linear region and a region extending in a width direction thereof. 
     The wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed to extend along a direction, in which the first base material  520   a  and the second base material  520   b  are arranged, on these base materials  520   a  and  520   b . Accordingly, the redundant part  18  where the wire-like transmission member  30  is not disposed is formed in the second base material  520   b.    
     Needless to say, also adoptable is a sheet material including the plurality of extension parts  14  made by folding one base material or combining the plurality of base materials to extend in directions intersecting with each other. In this case, the wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed only on a part of the extension part  14  in the sheet material, thus the other extension part  14  becomes the redundant part  18  where the wire-like transmission member  30  is not disposed. 
     Seventh Embodiment 
     A wiring member according to a seventh embodiment is described.  FIG. 15  is a plan view illustrating a wiring member  610  according to the seventh embodiment.  FIG. 16  is a perspective view illustrating a formation of the wiring member  610  according to the seventh embodiment. 
     In the above description, the wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed on one main surface of the sheet material, however, this configuration is not necessary. There may also be a case where the wire-like transmission member  30  passes from one main surface to the other main surface of the sheet material  612  as with the wiring member  610  illustrated in  FIG. 15 . 
     Such a wiring member  610  is formed by folding the base material  20  together with the wire-like transmission member  30  along a fold line L 4  in a state where the wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed and fixed on one main surface of the base material  20  as illustrated in  FIG. 16 , for example. In this case, the wire-like transmission member  30  passes from one main surface to the other main surface of the sheet material  612  in the base material-combined part  624 . Herein, a mountain fold is performed so that the surface where the electrical wire is disposed is directed outward in the base material  20 , however, a valley fold may be performed so that the surface where the electrical wire is disposed is directed inward in the base material  20 . 
     Needless to say, it is also applicable that the sheet material  612  is formed by folding one base material or combining the plurality of base materials, and subsequently, the wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed to pass from one main surface to the other main surface of the sheet material  612  to form the wiring member  610 . 
     Eighth Embodiment 
     A wiring member according to an eighth embodiment is described.  FIG. 17  is a plan view illustrating a wiring member  710  according to the eighth embodiment.  FIG. 18  is a partially schematic cross-sectional view of the wiring member  710  cut along a XVIII-XVIII line in  FIG. 17 . 
     A sheet material of the wiring member  710  includes a plurality of extension parts  714 . A base material  720  constituting the extension part  714  is formed to have directionality in a tensile strength. The wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed on the extension part  714  to extend along a direction in which the tensile strength of the base material  720  is strong. 
     In the example illustrated in  FIG. 17 , four extension parts  714   b ,  714   c ,  714   d , and  714   e  extend in parallel to each other from one extension part  714   a . The extension part  714   a  and one of the extension parts  714   b ,  714   c ,  714   d , and  714   e  can be deemed as a first extension part and a second extension part. 
     Herein, the wire-like transmission members  30  are disposed to extend along a direction in which the tensile strength of the base material  720  is strong in all of the extension parts  714 . When there is three or more extension parts  714 , it is sufficient that the wire-like transmission members  30  are disposed to extend along a direction in which the tensile strength of the base material  720  is strong in at least one pair of the extension parts  714  adjacent to each other. 
     In the example illustrated in  FIG. 17 , a major part of the wire-like transmission members  30  extend on the extension part  714   a  along the direction in which the tensile strength of the base material  720  is strong, and a part of the wire-like transmission members  30  are bent and extend toward the extension parts  714   b ,  714   c ,  714   d , and  714   e . As with this case, even in a case where the wire-like transmission member  30  are bent or intersect with each other on one extension part  714 , when the major part of the wire-like transmission members  30  extend on the extension part  714  along the direction in which the tensile strength of the base material  720  constituting the extension part  714  is strong, the wire-like transmission member  30  can be deemed to be disposed on the extension part  714  to extend along the direction in which the tensile strength of the base material  720  is strong. 
     The base material  720  is not particularly limited, however, the various types of base materials  720  having directionality in a tensile strength can be adopted. Specifically, a long-fibered non-woven cloth can be used as the base material  720  having have directionality in a tensile strength, for example. More specifically, the long-fibered non-woven cloth is normally formed so that long fibers extend in a warp direction (also referred to as a machine direction or a MD, for example). Thus, a tensile strength in the warp direction is larger than a tensile strength in a cross direction (also referred to as a CD, for example) intersecting with the warp direction in the long-fibered non-woven cloth. 
     A stretched film such as a uniaxial stretched film and a biaxial stretched film, for example, can also be used as the base material  720  having directionality in a tensile strength. More specifically, the tensile strength of the stretched film normally increases when the stretched film is stretched. Accordingly, a degree of stretch between the warp direction and the cross direction is changed, thus the stretched film having directionality in a tensile strength can be obtained. 
     For example, a base material provided with a shape changing a tensile strength can also be used as the base material  720  having directionality in a tensile strength. An embossed part can be adopted to one side as the shape changing the tensile strength, for example. More specifically, a plurality of embossed parts elongated in one side are formed in a zigzag arrangement in a uniform sheet-like member. At this time, the plurality of embossed parts are located so that their elongated directions are parallel to each other and a space between the adjacent embossed parts along the elongated direction is smaller than a dimension of the embossed part in the elongated direction. Accordingly, a base material in which a tensile strength of the embossed part along the elongated direction is larger than a tensile strength of the embossed part along a short-side direction can be obtained. 
     The base material  720  is also considered to have directionality in non-stretchability (axial rigidity). In this case, the wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed on the extension part  714  to extend along a non-stretch direction (a high axial-rigidity direction), thus the base material  720  can prevent the wire-like transmission member  30  from being stretched when the wiring member  710  is pulled along the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission member  30 . The base material  720  is also considered to be formed so that the non-stretch direction and the direction in which the tensile strength is strong coincide with each other. In this case, a function of the base material  720  for protecting the wire-like transmission member  30  is further enhanced when the wiring member  710  is pulled along the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission member  30 . For example, the long-fibered non-woven cloth, the stretched film, and the base material  720 , in which the embossed part elongated in one side is formed, described above, for example, also have directionality in the non-stretchability in many cases, and the non-stretch direction and the direction in which the tensile strength is strong coincide with each other in many cases. 
     The fixing member  40  for fixing the wiring member  710  to a fixing target is provided in the wiring member  710 . Herein, the fixing target is a vehicle, for example. More specifically, the fixing target is a body, a panel, and a reinforcement of a vehicle, for example. In the example illustrated in  FIG. 17 , a reinforcement  60  is illustrated as the fixing target. It is considered that the reinforcement  60  is a column-like or tubular rod-like member, for example, and an outer surface thereof has a circular shape or a quadrangular shape. A hole  62  for fixing the fixing member  40  is formed in the reinforcement  60 . 
     A clamp including a bottom part  42 , a column part  44 , and a locking part  46  is adopted as the fixing member  40  herein. The bottom part  42  is formed into a plate-like shape. The column part  44  stand on the bottom part  42 . The locking part  46  is provided on a tip end of the column part  44 . The locking part  46  is formed to be able to be inserted into and locked to the hole  62  formed in the fixing target. The locking part  46  is inserted into and locked to the hole  62  formed in the fixing target, thus the clamp is fixed to the fixing target. The bottom part  42  functions as a retaining part and the locking part  46  functions as a detent part in the state where the clamp is fixed to the fixing target. The clamp is an integrated molded component made of resin by injection molding, for example. 
     The fixing member  40  is provided in a portion where the base materials  720  are overlapped with each other in the plurality of extension parts  714 . Accordingly, the fixing member  40  is fixed to the fixing target, thus the plurality of extension parts  714  are fixed at the same time. In the example illustrated in  FIG. 17 , the base material  720  of the extension part  714   a  and the base material  720  of the extension parts  714   b ,  714   c ,  714   d , and  714   e  are provided in a portion overlapped with each other. There may be a case where a portion closer to a terminal portion side of any of the plurality of extension parts  714  in relation to the fixing member  40  in the wiring member  710  is pulled in the state where the fixing member  40  is fixed to the fixing target. Assumed as such a case is that in assembling the wiring member  710 , the fixing member  40  is fixed to the fixing target in advance, and subsequently, the portion closer to the terminal portion side in relation to the position of the fixing member  40  is routed for connecting the terminal portion, for example. 
     The fixing member  40  is provided in the portion where the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714  are overlapped with each other and the wire-like transmission member  30  extends along the direction in which the tensile strength of each base material  720  is strong, thus the direction in which the portion of each terminal portion side is pulled in the state where the fixing member  40  is fixed to the fixing target is a direction in which the tensile strength of each base material  720  is strong. Accordingly, suppressed is excessive force on the wire-like transmission member  30 . Pulling force applied at the time when the side of any of the extension parts  714  in the wiring member  710  is pulled hardly acts on the other extension part  714  in the state where the fixing member  40  is fixed to the fixing target. 
     It is also considered that the fixing member  40  locks the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714 . In this case, the plurality of extension parts  714  are easily kept to intersect with each other by the fixing member  40 . For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 18 , it is considered that the column part  44  of the fixing member  40  passes through the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714  and the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714  are located between the bottom part  42  and the locking part  46 , thus the fixing member  40  locks the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714 . It is alternatively considered that the bottom part  42  of the fixing member  40  is located between the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714 , an outer surface of the bottom part  42  is fixed to the base material  720  of one extension part  714  in the plurality of extension parts  714 , and the column part  44  of the fixing member  40  passes through the base material  720  of the other extension part  714  in the plurality of extension parts  714 , thus the fixing member  40  locks the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714 , for example. It is considered that the bottom part  42  of the fixing member  40  includes a plurality of plate-like parts, and the plurality of plate-like parts sandwich the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714  together, thus the fixing member  40  locks the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714 . 
     According to the wiring member  710  having the above configuration, the wire-like transmission member  30  is disposed in the extension part  714  to extend along the direction in which the tensile strength of the base material  720  is strong, thus easily suppressed is excessive force on the wire-like transmission member  30  when the wiring member  710  is pulled along the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission member  30 . 
     The fixing member  40  is provided in the portion where the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714  are overlapped with each other, thus the base materials  720  of the plurality of extension parts  714  can be fixed together by one fixing member  40 . Even when the portion closer to the terminal portion side of any of the plurality of extension parts  714  in relation to the fixing member  40  in the wiring member  710  is pulled in the state where the fixing member  40  is fixed to the fixing target, it is pulled in the direction in which the tensile strength of the base material  720  is strong, thus suppressed is excessive force on the wire-like transmission member  30 . Pulling force applied at the time when one extension part  714  in the wiring member  710  is pulled hardly acts on the other extension part  714  in the state where the fixing member  40  is fixed to the fixing target. 
     In the example illustrated in  FIG. 17 , the plurality of extension parts  714  are made up of the separated base materials  720 , however, one base material  720  is folded to form the plurality of extension parts  714 . In this case, it is sufficient that the fixing member  40  is provided in a portion where one base material  720  is folded to be overlapped with each other. 
     In the example illustrated in  FIG. 17 , the linear extension part  714   a  continued with the same dimension is made up of one sheet of base material  720 . The linear extension part  714   a  continued with the same dimension may be made up of the plurality of base materials combined with each other. 
     An example illustrated in  FIG. 19  is a modification example of the wiring member  710  according to the eighth embodiment. In a wiring member  810  illustrated in  FIG. 19 , the linear extension part  814   a  continued with the same width dimension is made up of two base materials  820  combined with each other. The linear extension part  814   a  may be made up of three of more base materials combined with each other. The configuration similar to that of the linear extension part  714   a  can be adopted to the linear extension part  814   a  except for the configuration that the plurality of base materials  820  are combined with each other. The configuration similar to that of the base material  720  can be adopted to the base material  820  except for the configuration that the length dimension is different. As described above, the plurality of base materials  820  are combined to constitute the linear extension part  814   a , thus a yield can be increased when a portion in which a portion linearly extending is long in the sheet material is formed, for example. 
     The two base materials  820  have the same length as each other. The two base materials  820  may have lengths different from each other. The portion where the two base materials  820  are fixed to each other is provided in a position deviating from the portion where the base material  720  of any of the other extension parts  714   b ,  714   c ,  714   d , and  714   e  is fixed to the base material  820 . The portion where the two base materials  820  are fixed to each other may be the same as the portion where the base material  720  of any of the other extension parts  714   b ,  714   c ,  714   d , and  714   e  is fixed to the base material  820 . The base material  720  of any of the other extension parts  714   b ,  714   c ,  714   d , and  714   e  may pass across a joint line  820 L between the two base materials  820 . The state of fixing the two base materials  820  is not particularly limited, however, various fixing states described above can be appropriately selected, for example. 
     The fixing member  40  may be omitted. Even in the case where the fixing member  40  is adopted, the configuration of adopting the clamp as the fixing member  40  is not necessary, however, the fixing member  40  such as a bracket for fastening a bolt other than the clamp may be adopted. Even in the case where the fixing member  40  is adopted, a position thereof is not limited to that described above. For example, the fixing member  40  may be provided in each of the extension part  714   a  and the extension parts  714   b ,  714   c ,  714   d , and  714   c  separately. 
     Modification Example 
     The wire-like transmission member with the bent parts  31  may intersect with each other on the sheet material. Similarly, the wire-like transmission member with the bent part  31  and the wire-like transmission member  30  linearly disposed such as the first wire-like transmission member  32  and the second wire-like transmission member  33  may intersect with each other on the sheet material. 
     When one base material is folded or the plurality of base materials are combined with each other, a slit into which the folded base material or the combined base material is inserted may be formed in the base material. 
     The configurations described in the embodiments and modification examples thereof can be appropriately combined as long as they are not contradictory. For example, each configuration described in each embodiment and each modification example described above may be adopted in the plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction of one wiring member. For example, the configuration regarding the base material and the fixing member described in the eighth embodiment may be applied to the wiring members according to the first to seventh embodiments. 
     Although the present invention is described in detail, the foregoing description is in all aspects illustrative and does not restrict the invention. It is therefore understood that numerous modifications and variations can be devised without departing from the scope of the invention.
