Claim:
A protector that positions and holds, on an insertion inlet side, a convoluted conduit covering a wire harness, comprising: a main body having a bottom wall and two side walls; a lid provided separately from the main body and covering an upper surface opening of the main body; locks capable of mutually connecting the main body and the lid provided on both sides in a length direction of each of the main body and the lid, the locks of the lid being provided in symmetrical positions to enable connection with the locks of the main body when the lid is rotated by 180 degrees; a convoluted conduit engagement portion having ribs that fit troughs of a large-diameter convoluted conduit extending from the bottom wall on one end side in the length direction of the main body to internal surfaces of the two side walls; a large-diameter convoluted conduit engagement portion having ribs that fit the troughs of the large-diameter convoluted conduit provided on an internal surface on one end side in the length direction of the lid, and a small-diameter convoluted conduit engagement portion having ribs that fit troughs of a small-diameter convoluted conduit provided on an internal surface on the other end side; wherein the convoluted conduit engagement portions on both the main body side and the lid side include a plurality of ribs having the same pitch and allow the lid to be rotated by 180 degrees to correspond to an outer diameter of an inserted convoluted conduit and to connect to the main body.
