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 7):
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, wherein the wire harness includes one or more electric wires for supplying electric power from the vehicle main body to the slide door and a tubular exterior member covering an outer periphery of the electric wire, and wherein the door side unit includes a swing supporting portion for swingably supporting the exterior member at a position apart from an end portion on a side of the slide door and a fixing portion fixing the wire harness directly or indirectly to the slide door at the side of the slide door nearer than the swing supporting portion.
