     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 includes: a plurality of wire-like transmission members; and a sheet to which the plurality of wire-like transmission members are fixed to be arranged side by side, wherein the sheet includes a first sheet covering the plurality of wire-like transmission members from one side and a second sheet covering the plurality of wire-like transmission members from another side, a window region is provided in a part of the sheet along a longitudinal direction of the plurality of wire-like transmission members, the window region is provided on a side directed to an outer surface in a state where the wiring member is folded, and a part of the plurality of wire-like transmission members wired in the window region can be identified. The part of the plurality of wire-like transmission members wired in the window region is identified, thus a type of the wiring member, for example, is identified. The wiring member is transported to an assembly operation position in a folded state and developed in the assembly operation position in many cases. Even in this case, the window region is provided on a side directed to an outer surface in a state where the wiring member is folded, thus a predetermined wiring member in a folded state in the assembly operation position can be specified easily. 
     (2) It is applicable that the plurality of wire-like transmission members are wired in a form including a main wire part and a branch wire part, the sheet includes a main wire fixing part to which the main wire part is fixed and a branch wire fixing part to which the branch wire part is fixed, and the window region is provided in the branch wire fixing part. The branch wire part can also be specified in addition to the specification of the wiring member using the window region. 
     (3) It is applicable that the branch wire part includes a first branch wire part and a second branch wire part, the window region includes a first window region provided in a position corresponding to the first branch wire part and a second window region provided in a position corresponding to the second branch wire part, and an appearance of the plurality of wire-like transmission members in the first window region and an appearance thereof in the second window region are different from each other. Accordingly, the plurality of branch wire parts can also be identified using the window region. 
     (4) The window region may be provided in a position which is exposed outside in a state where the wiring member is folded. Accordingly, it is suppressed that folded portions are overlapped with each other and the window region goes out of sight. 
     (5) The sheet may further include a transparent sheet covered on the window region. Accordingly, both the sheet and the window region are provided. 
     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. 
     Embodiment 
     A wiring member according to an embodiment is described hereinafter.  FIG. 1  is a plan view illustrating a wiring member  10  according to the embodiment.  FIG. 2  is a plan view illustrating a wiring member  10  in a folded state.  FIG. 3  is a cross-sectional view along a III-II line in  FIG. 1 .  FIG. 3  is a cross-sectional view along a IV-IV line in  FIG. 1 . 
     The wiring member  10  includes a plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  and a sheet  30 . The plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  are wired in a form including a main wire part  24  and a branch wire part  26 . 
     It is sufficient that the wire-like transmission member  20  is a wire-like member transmitting an electrical power or light, for example. For example, the wire-like transmission member  20  may be a general wire having a core wire  21  and a covering  22  around the core wire  21 , or may also be a bare conductive wire, a shielded wire, an enamel wire, a nichrome wire, or an optical fiber. 
     The wire-like transmission member  20  transmitting the electrical power may be various kinds of signal lines or various kinds of power lines. The wire-like transmission member  20  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  20  includes a transmission wire body transmitting an electrical power or light and a covering for covering the transmission wire body. When the wire-like transmission member  20  is a general wire, the transmission wire body is a core wire  21 , and the covering is an insulating covering  22 . The core wire  21  may be made up of a plurality of single wires. The plurality of single wires may be stranded. In the example illustrated in  FIG. 3 , the plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  having the same diameter and structure are disposed on one sheet  30 , however, it is sufficient that the diameter and the structure of each of the plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  are appropriately set, thus the wire-like transmission members  20  each having a different diameter and a structure, for example, may be disposed on the same sheet  30 . 
     The wire-like transmission member  20  may be a single wire-like object or a composite object of a plurality of wire-like objects (a twisted wire and a cable made up of a plurality of wire-like objects covered by a sheath). A terminal and a connector C, for example, are appropriately provided in accordance with a connection state of the wire-like transmission member  20  and the other side member in an end portion of the wire-like transmission member  20 . 
     The plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  are wired to have a configuration including a main wire part  24  and a branch wire part  26 . The two branch wire parts  26  are provided herein. The two branch wire parts  26  are distinguished as a first branch wire part  26 A and a second branch wire part  26 B in some cases hereinafter. 
     The first branch wire part  26 A is branched from one side portion in the main wire part  24 , and the second branch wire part  26 B is branched from the other side portion in the main wire part  24 . The first branch wire part  26 A and the second branch wire part  26 B are branched from positions different from each other along a longitudinal direction of the main wire part  24 . A longitudinal direction of the first branch wire part  26 A and the second branch wire part  26 B are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main wire part  24 . Needless to say, routes of the main wire part  24  and the branch wire part  26  are not limited thereto described above. For example, one branch wire part  26  may be provided, or three or more branch wire parts  26  may also be provided. For example, the two branch wire parts  26  may be branched from one side portion in the main wire part  24 . For example, the two branch wire parts  26  may be branched from the same position along the longitudinal direction of the main wire part  24 . For example, the longitudinal direction of the branch wire part  26  may not be parallel and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main wire part  24 . That is to say, the longitudinal direction of the branch wire part  26  may intersect with the longitudinal direction of the main wire part  24  at an angle larger than 0 degree and smaller than 90 degrees. 
     In the example illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the seven wire-like transmission members  20  are disposed on the sheet  30 . The seven wire-like transmission members  20  are disposed along predetermined routes, respectively. The seven wire-like transmission members  20  are distinguished as the wire-like transmission members  20 A,  20 B,  20 C,  20 D,  20 E,  20 F, and  20 G in some cases hereinafter. Specifically, the wire-like transmission members  20 A and  20 B are wired to constitute only the main wire part  24  on the sheet  30 . The wire-like transmission members  20 C and  20 D are wired so that some of them constitutes the main wire part  24  and the other some of them constitutes the first branch wire part  26 A on the sheet  30 . The wire-like transmission members  20 E and  20 F are wired so that some of them constitutes the main wire part  24  and the other some of them constitutes the second branch wire part  26 B on the sheet  30 . The wire-like transmission member  20 G is wired so that an intermediate portion thereof constitutes the main wire part  24 , one end portion thereof constitutes the first branch wire part  26 A, and the other end portion thereof constitutes the second branch wire part  26 B on the sheet  30 . 
     The wire-like transmission member  20  is fixed to the sheet  30 . The sheet  30  keeps a wiring state of the wire-like transmission member  20 . The sheet  30  includes a first sheet  31  and a second sheet  32  herein. The first sheet  31  covers one side of the wire-like transmission member  20 . The second sheet  32  covers the other side (a side opposite to the first sheet  31 ) of the wire-like transmission member  20 . An intermediate portion in the wire-like transmission member  20  is surrounded by the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32 . Accordingly, suppressed is an exposure of the intermediate portion in the wire-like transmission member  20 . 
     Herein, the wire-like transmission member  20  is fixed to only the first sheet  31  in the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32 . A fixing state of the wire-like transmission member  20  and the first sheet  31  is not particularly limited, however, bonding or welding may also be applied. The bonding indicates that two members are bonded to each other via an inclusion such as an adhesive agent or a double-sided adhesive tape. The welding indicates that resin contained in at least one of two members are melted and the two members are welded to each other without an intervention of an inclusion. Herein, at least one of resin contained in the covering  22  of the wire-like transmission member  20  and resin contained in the first sheet  31  is melted and bonded to the other side member, thus the wire-like transmission member  20  and the first sheet  31  are fixed to each other. 
     Materials constituting the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  are not particularly limited, however, the first sheet  32  and second sheet  32  are formed of materials containing resin of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), or nylon, for example. The first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  may be a fibrous material having fiber such as a non-woven cloth, a woven fabric, or a knitting fabric or a non-fiber material, for example. The non-fiber material may be a solid member with an inner portion evenly filled or a foam made up by foam molded resin. The first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  may contain a material such as metal, for example. 
     The first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  may be a single layer or may be a plurality of stacked layers. When the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  are made up of the plurality of stacked layers, it is considered that a resin layer and a resin layer are stacked, for example. It is also considered that a resin layer and a metal layer are stacked, for example. The first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  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. 
     The first sheet  31  has a double-layered structure, for example. A first layer in the first sheet  31  is a layer appropriate for fixation to the wire-like transmission member  20 . For example, the first layer is formed into a solid member, with an inner portion evenly filled, of the same material as that of the covering  22  of the wire-like transmission member  20 . The wire-like transmission member  20  is fixed on the first layer. The second layer is a layer enhancing a function of the sheet  30 . The second layer is a non-woven cloth, for example. The first layer may be wholly or partially provided on the second layer. For example, the first layer may be provided only in an intermediate portion along a width direction of the second layer (a parallel direction of the wire-like transmission member  20 ), and needs not be provided in a side edge portion. For example, the first layer may be provided at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the second layer (the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission member  20 ). 
     The second sheet  32  has a single-layered structure, for example. The second sheet  32  is formed to have higher rigidity than the first sheet  31 . The second sheet  32  is formed to be a member of nylon as a material with an inner portion evenly filled, for example. The wire-like transmission member  20  is not fixed to the second sheet  32 . An edge portion of the second sheet  32  is fixed to the first sheet  31 . A fixing state of the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  is not particularly limited, however, welding or bonding is also applicable. The second sheet  32  may be fixed to the first layer or the second layer in the first sheet  31 . 
     The sheet  30  includes a main wire fixing part  34  and a branch wire fixing part  36 . The main wire fixing part  34  is a part where the main wire part  24  is fixed. The branch wire fixing part  36  is a part where the branch wire part  26  is fixed. The branch wire fixing part  36  is branched from the branch wire fixing part  34 . That is to say, the branch wire fixing part  36  is connected to the main wire fixing part  34 . Herein, the branch wire fixing part  36  is branched from an intermediate portion of the branch wire fixing part  34  in a longitudinal direction. The branch wire fixing part  36  includes a first branch wire fixing part  36 A and a second branch wire fixing part  36 B. The first branch wire fixing part  36 A is a part where the first branch wire part  26 A is fixed. The second branch wire fixing part  36 B is a part where the second branch wire part  26 B is fixed. 
     The wiring member  10  is provided with an easy-bending part  12 . The easy-bending part  12  is provided in a region where the sheet  30  is located. The easy-bending part  12  is a part where the second sheet  32  is provided at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission member  20 . That is to say, the easy-bending part  12  is a part where the second sheet  32  is not located along the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission member  20 . Described above is the configuration that the second sheet  32  is not included, however, the configuration is not limited thereto. For example, it is sufficient that rigidity of the second sheet  32  in a position corresponding to the easy-bending part  12  is set to be lower than that of the second sheet  32  in a region except for the easy-bending part  12 . That is to say, the easy-bending part may be formed into a shape capable of partially bending the second sheet  32  easily. An accordion-like shape is also applicable as the shape capable of bending the second sheet  32  easily. The accordion-like part is a part formed into an accordion-like shape in which a mountain and a valley are alternately and sequentially located in the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission member  20 . When a terminal side portion is bended at a position of the easy-bending part  12 , the wiring member  10  is folded. 
     One example of the easy-bending part  12  is described above, however, it is sufficient that the easy-bending part  12  has a shape of being partially bended easily such as a fold line (not shown), for example, thus the shape thereof is not particularly limited. For example, also applicable is a shape in which a slit (not shown) is provided not in the second sheet  32  but in the first sheet  31  to form the easy-bending part  12 . 
     The wiring member  10  is provided with a vacuum suction position. In the example illustrated in  FIG. 1 , a region A illustrated by a dashed-two dotted line is the vacuum suction position. In the example illustrated in  FIG. 1 , two vacuum suction positions are set. The vacuum suction position is set in a position where the wiring member  10  is hardly inclined when the wiring member  10  is vacuum-sucked at the position and raised and can substantially maintain balance. The number of vacuum suction positions in one wiring member  10  is not limited to two. For example, when the wiring member  10  is relatively small, one vacuum suction position may be provided. For example, when the wiring member  10  is relatively large, three or more vacuum suction positions may be provided. When the wiring member  10  is folded, it is sufficient that the vacuum suction position is provided in a position exposed in the wiring member  10  in a folded state. The vacuum suction is described as the suction configuration for convenience, however, it is obvious that the suction configuration is not limited to the vacuum suction. It is sufficient that negative pressure large enough to suck and raise the wiring member  10  is applied. 
     The wiring member  10  is provided with a window region  14 . When the wiring member  10  is observed from outside, a part of the plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  wired in the window region  14  can be identified. A method of identifying the part of the plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  wired in the window region  14  is not particularly limited. For example, the part may be identified by an identification device or an operator based on a captured image captured by an imaging element. The part may also be identified by an operator visually recognizing the part, for example. The window region  14  is provided in a part of the sheet  30  along the longitudinal direction of the plurality of wire-like transmission members  20 . 
     A position of the window region  14  along the longitudinal direction of the plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  is not particularly limited. The window region  14  may also be provided in a position at which the wire-like transmission members  20  may be exposed with no problem, for example. For example, a first protection region and a second protection region are set in a portion in the wiring member  10  where the sheet  30  is provided. The second protection region is a position which needs to be protected more than the first protection region. The position which needs to be protected more is a position easily interfering with a surrounding member in the wiring member  10  or a position significantly influenced by heat, for example. It is sufficient that the window region  14  is provided not in the second protection region but in the first protection region. A transparent sheet  33  is provided for protecting the wire-like transmission member  20  in the window region  14  herein, however, when there is a low necessity of protecting the wire-like transmission member  20 , the transparent sheet  33  may be omitted. 
     The window region  14  is provided in the branch wire fixing part  36 . The window region  14  includes a first window region  14 A and a second window region  14 B. The first window region  14 A is provided in a position corresponding to the first branch wire part  26 A. The first window region  14 A is provided in the first branch wire fixing part  36 A. The second window region  14 B is provided in a position corresponding to the second branch wire part  26 B. The second window region  14 B is provided in the second branch wire fixing part  36 B. 
     The window region  14  is provided on a side directed to an outer surface in a state where the wiring member  10  is folded. Herein, the wiring member  10  is folded with the second sheet  32  inside. Then, the window region  14  is provided closer to the terminal side portion in relation to a bending position in the wiring member  10 . Thus, the window region  14  is provided closer to a side of the first sheet  31  directed to the outer surface in the terminal side portion in relation to the bending position. Needless to say, the window region may be provided in the second sheet  32 . In the description hereinafter, a configuration according to the window region  14  is provided in the first sheet  31 . The configuration according to the window region  14  hereinafter can also be appropriately applied to a case where the configuration thereof is provided in the second sheet  32  so far as consistent with the embodiments. 
     The window region  14  is a portion where a part of the first sheet  31  along the longitudinal direction is not partially present. Herein, the window region  14  is set in an intermediate portion of the first sheet  31  in a width direction. A through hole is formed in a thickness direction in a portion of the first sheet  31  corresponding to the window region  14 . The first sheet  31  is located adjacent to the window region  14  along the width direction of the first sheet  31 . The portion located adjacent to the window region  14  along the width direction of the first sheet  31  is fixed to the second sheet  32 . 
     However, the window region  14  may be provided to extend to one end portion along the width direction of the first sheet  31  or extend to both end portions. In the latter case, the first sheet  31  is completely divided by the window region  14 . That is to say, the first sheet  31  is provided at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission member  20 , and the portion between the first sheet  31  constitutes the window region. 
     When the window region  14  is provided in a part along the width direction of the first sheet  31 , it is sufficient that a width dimension of the window region  14  and the position thereof along the width direction is set so that at least a part of the wire-like transmission members  20  can be identified. The width dimension of the window region  14  and the position along the width direction may also be set so that all of the wire-like transmission members  20  constituting the branch wire part  26  where the window region  14  is formed can be identified. 
     The window region  14  is formed by cutting off a part of the first sheet  31 , which uniformly extends, corresponding to the window region  14 , for example. At this time, the first sheet  31  may be previously cut off before or after the process of fixing the wire-like transmission member  20 . In the latter case, it is sufficient that the wire-like transmission member  20  is not fixed to the part of the first sheet  31  which is cut off. 
     The window region  14  is provided in a position which is exposed outside in a state where the wiring member  10  is folded. The position which is exposed outside in the state where the wiring member  10  is folded indicates a position directed outward in the wiring member  10  and the folded terminal side portion does not overlap therewith. Herein, the window region  14  is provided closer to the terminal side in relation to the bending position, thereby being provided in the position which is exposed outside in the state where the wiring member  10  is folded. 
     The sheet  30  further includes the transparent sheet  33 . The transparent sheet  33  covers the window region  14 . Herein, the first sheet  31  is not provided in the window region  14 . Thus, the transparent sheet  33  covers the window region  14  in place of the first sheet  31 . The transparent sheet  33  may be located on an outer side or an inner side of the first sheet  31 . 
     The transparent sheet  33  may be fixed to the first sheet  31 , the wire-like transmission member  20 , or the second sheet  32 . A fixing state of the transparent sheet  33  and the fixation target is not particularly limited, however, bonding or welding may also be applied. It is sufficient that the transparent sheet  33  is formed to be larger than the window region  14  and a peripheral edge part of the outer side of the window region  14  is fixed to the fixation target, for example. 
     A thickness dimension of the transparent sheet  33  is not particularly limited. The thickness dimension of the transparent sheet  33  may be equal to, larger than, or smaller than that of the first sheet  31 . The thickness dimension of the transparent sheet  33  may be equal to, larger than, or smaller than that of the second sheet  32 . 
     A color of the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  is particularly limited. One of the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  partitioning the window region  14  (the first sheet  31  herein) may have a color different from the wire-like transmission member  20 . One of the first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  functioning as a background of the window region  14  (the second sheet  32  herein) may have a color different from the wire-like transmission member  20 . The color of the first sheet  31  and the color of the second sheet  32  may be the same as of different from each other. The first sheet  31  and the second sheet  32  may have lower transparency than the transparent sheet  33 . A color of the transparent sheet  33  is not particularly limited, however, a colorless transparent sheet  33  is also applicable. 
     It is sufficient that the window region  14  is located near a position as a basis (referred to as a reference position hereinafter) when a robot assembles the wiring member  10  in the folded state to a vehicle. Accordingly, the robot can recognize both the window region  14  and the reference position easily. 
     A holding position where the robot holds the wiring member  10  in the folded state such as the vacuum suction position described above, for example, may be the reference position. In addition to the vacuum suction position, a grasping position, for example, is considered as the position where the robot holds the wiring member  10  in the folded state. The grasping position is a position where the robot grasps the wiring member  10  in the folded state. A structure appropriate for the robot to hold the wiring member  10  may be given to the holding position. Furthermore, the structure may be peculiar in appearance in the wiring member  10 . 
     Examples of the reference position include, in addition to the holding position, a vehicle fixing position where the wiring member  10  in the folded state is fixed to the vehicle. A structure for fixation may be given to the vehicle fixing position. For example, it is considered that a fixing member is provided to have a form capable of fixing the wiring member  10  in the folded state to the vehicle or receiving part to which a fixing member on a vehicle side is fixed is provided in the vehicle fixing position. 
     When the wiring member  10  is folded, the window region  14  may be located in a position getting closer to the reference position in relation to a position thereof in the state before the wiring member  10  is folded (developed state). Herein, the window region  14  is located closer to the terminal side in relation to the bending position, and the terminal side portion is provided in a position closer to the holding position as the reference position in relation to the bending position. Thus, the window region  14  is provided in a position closer to the reference position in relation to a position thereof in the state before the wiring member  10  is folded. 
     When the wire-like transmission member  20  wired in the window region  14  is identified, a type of the wiring member  10 , for example, is identified. An identification state is not particularly limited, however, the type thereof can be identified in accordance with a difference of a size of the window region  14 , an area in the window region  14  (an area of the wire-like transmission member  20 ), a color of the wire-like transmission member  20  wired in the window region  14  (a color of the covering  22 ), and a position of the widow region  14  (a distance from the connector C), for example. That is to say, in the plural types of wiring member  10 , the size of the window region  14  is different, the area in the window region  14  is different, the color of the wire-like transmission member  20  wired in the window region  14  is different, and the position of the window region  14  is different, thus the type thereof, for example, is identified. 
     Further herein, the plurality of branch wire parts  26  are also identified by the window region  14  in the wiring member  10 . In this case, in identifying the window region  14 , it is sufficient that a plurality of identification states such as the size of the window region  14 , the area in the window region  14  (the area of the wire-like transmission member  20 ), the color of the wire-like transmission member  20  wired in the window region  14  (the color of the covering  22 ), and the position of the widow region  14  (the distance from the connector C) are identified, for example, are identified. That is to say, it is sufficient that an identification state used for identifying the type of the wiring member  10 , for example, and an identification state used for identifying the plurality of branch wire parts  26  are different from each other. 
     Specifically, a first identification state is set for the first window region  14 A and the second window region  14 B in one wiring member  10 . The first identification state is used for identifying one wiring member  10  and the other wiring member. Accordingly, the first window region  14 A and the second window region  14 B are formed to have a common appearance in a viewpoint of the first identification state. For example, a color of the wire-like transmission member  20  in the first window region  14 A and the second window region  14 B is common in one wiring member  10 . This color is different from that of the wire-like transmission member of the other wiring member in the window region. Accordingly, one wiring member  10  and the other wiring member can be identified. A second identification state is set for the first window  14 A and the second window region  14 B in one wiring member  10 . The second identification state is used for identifying the first branch wire part  26 A and the second branch wire part  26 B. Accordingly, the first window region  14 A and the second window region  14 B are formed to have different appearances in a viewpoint of the second identification state. For example, an area of the wire-like transmission member  20  is different in the first window region  14 A and the second window region  14 B. Accordingly, the first branch wire part  26 A and the second branch wire part  26 B can be identified in one wiring member  10 . 
     Effect Etc. of Embodiments 
     According to the wiring member  10  having the above configuration, the part of the plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  wired in the window region  14  is identified, thus the type of the wiring member  10 , for example, is identified. The wiring member  10  is transported to an assembly operation position in a folded state and developed in the assembly operation position in many cases. Even in this case, the window region  14  is provided on a side directed to an outer surface in a state where the wiring member  10  is folded, thus a predetermined wiring member  10  in a folded state in the assembly operation position can be specified easily. 
     The window region  14  is provided in the branch wire part  26 , thus branch wire part  26  can also be specified in addition to the specification of the wiring member  10  using the window region  14 . 
     The appearance of the plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  in the first window region  14 A and the appearance thereof in the second window region  14 B are different from each other, thus the first branch wire part  26 A and the second branch wire part  26 B can be identified. 
     The window region  14  is provided in a position exposed outside in a folded state, thus it is suppressed that folded portions are overlapped with each other and the window region  14  goes out of sight. 
     The transparent sheet  33  covers the window region  14 , thus both the sheet  30  and the window region  14  can be provided. 
     [Modification example] The window region  14  needs not be provided in the branch wire fixing part  26 . The window region  14  may be provided in the main wire part  24 . The plurality of wire-like transmission members  20  may not be wired in a form including the main wire part  24  and the branch wire part  26 . 
     When the plurality of branch wire parts  26  are provided, the window region  14  may be provided only in some of the plurality of branch wire parts  26  or only in one branch wire part  26 . When the window regions  14  are provided in the plurality of branch wire parts  26 , appearances thereof need not be different from each other. For example, when the type of the wiring  10  is desired to be specified by identifying one of the plurality of window region  14 , the plurality of window regions  14  may have a common appearance. 
     Each configuration described in the embodiment and each modification example can be appropriately combined as long as they are not contradictory.
