Abstract:
Provided is an electric power supply device in which exposure of a wire harness can be reduced in a slide door and interference with door trim can be minimized. When a slide door is half opened, a wire harness bends convexly downward, and one portion thereof is positioned lower than when the slide door is fully open or fully closed. Specifically, the wire harness is bent three-dimensionally. This makes it easier for the wire harness to be pulled out from a bottom end of door trim, and makes it possible for interference between the wire harness and the door trim to be minimized. The wire harness may be also bent three-dimensionally as appropriate in accordance with a shape of the door trim, reducing exposure of the wire harness in the slide door.

Claim (Index 1):
A power supply device for supplying power from a vehicle main body to a slide door in a vehicle having the slide door sliding along a traveling direction, the power supply device comprising:\n a wire harness provided from the vehicle main body to the slide door; a main body side unit having a main body side support portion for supporting a main body side end portion of the wire harness, and fixable to the vehicle main body; and a door side unit having a door side support portion for supporting a door side end portion of the wire harness, and fixable to the slide door, wherein the wire harness is bent convexly downward so that at least a portion of the wire harness between the main body side end portion and the door side end portion is located lower when the slide door is in a half opened state than when the slide door is in a fully opened state or a fully closed state, and wherein the door side unit swingably supports the wire harness about a swing axis along a vehicle width direction so as to turn downward the door side end portion when the slide door is in the half opened state, more inclines the door side end portion toward one side in the traveling direction when the slide door is in the fully closed state than when the slide door is in the half opened state, and more inclines the door side end portion toward another side in the traveling direction when the slide door is in the fully opened state than when the slide door is in the half opened state.
