1. An installing structure of a wire harness, comprising:
- a link which pivotally connects a fixing link at a side of a movable structural body to a link bracket at a side of a fixed structural body;
a singular first flexible protective tube through which the wire harness is slidably disposed;
a first fixing member which fixes the first flexible protective tube to the link;
a second fixing member which fixes the wire harness derived from one end of the first flexible protective tube to the fixing link; and
a third fixing member which fixes the wire harness derived from the other end of the first flexible protective tube to the link bracket,wherein the wire harness is arranged along the fixing link, the link and the link bracket so as to extend from the movable structural body to the fixed structural body;
wherein a first wire harness portion extending from a position at the one end of the first flexible protective tube to a position at the second fixing member and a second wire harness portion extending from a position at the other end of the first flexible protective tube to a position at the third fixing member are exposed from the first flexible protective tube and are deformable;
wherein when the fixing link and the link pivot to an extension state from a folded state in accordance with a pivotal movement of the link, a surplus length portion of the wire harness moves in the singular first flexible protective tube so that the first wire harness portion becomes shorter and the second wire harness portion becomes longer and when the fixing link and the link pivot to the folded state to the extension state in accordance with the pivotal movement of the link, the surplus length portion of the wire harness moves in the singular first flexible protective tube so that the first wire harness portion becomes longer and the second wire harness portion becomes shorter;
wherein a length of the link is longer than a width of the link; and
wherein the singular first flexible protective tube is fixed to the link so as to extend along the length of the link.
