Patent ID: 7905537

Claim:
A harness installation structure, comprising: a link arm that pivotally supports a movable body to a fixed body; a wire harness that is installed to extend from the fixed body to the movable body along the link arm; and a protector that is provided on the link arm; wherein the wire harness has an upwardly-extending portion which is arranged to extend vertically upwardly at an end portion of the link arm; wherein the upwardly-extending portion is twisted about an axis of the upwardly-extending portion that is parallel to and alongside an axis of a shaft portion, provided on the end portion of the link arm for pivotally supporting the link arm, while the movable body is moved between an opened position and a closed position; wherein the wire harness passes through the protector; wherein the upwardly-extending portion is formed at a part of the wire harness drawn from an end of the protector; wherein the protector is a slide protector; and wherein expansion and contraction of the wire harness due to axis offset between the link arm and the slide protector are absorbed by expansion and contraction of the slide protector.
