Protective tube attaching method
First Claim
1. A protective tube attaching method for protecting an electric wire of a wire harness by a protective tube including a small diameter protective tube and a large diameter protective tube, the large diameter protective tube covering the small diameter protective tube so as to be movable relatively to the small diameter protective tube, each of the small diameter protective tube and the large diameter protective tube includes one end portion and an other end portion, and the wire harness includes one reference portion and an other reference portion, the protective tube attaching method comprising:
- a protective tube inserting step of inserting the electric wire through the small diameter protective tube and the large diameter protective tube when the large diameter protective tube covers the small diameter protective tube such that the electric wire passes through each of the small diameter protective tube and the large diameter protective tube;
a large diameter protective tube positioning step of positioning the one end portion of the large diameter protective tube at the one reference portion of the wire harness;
a small diameter protective tube positioning step of moving the small diameter protective tube relatively to the large diameter protective tube positioned at the one reference portion of the wire harness, to thereby position the other end portion of the small diameter protective tube at the other reference portion of the wire harness; and
a protective tube fixing step of fixing the other end portion of the large diameter protective tube in a state that the other end portion of the large diameter protective tube overlaps with an outer circumferential surface of the small diameter protective tube.

Abstract
A protective tube attaching method, the protective tube protecting an electric wire of a wire harness, includes inserting the electric wire through a small diameter protective tube and a large diameter protective tube which covers and is shorter than the small diameter protective tube so as to be movable relatively thereto; positioning one end portion of the large diameter protective tube at one reference portion of the wire harness; moving the small diameter protective tube relatively to the large diameter protective tube positioned at the one reference portion, to thereby position the other end portion of the small diameter protective tube at the other reference portion of the wire harness; and fixing the other end portion of the large diameter protective tube in a state that the other end portion of the large diameter protective tube overlaps with an outer circumferential surface of the small diameter protective tube.
