1. A wiring member comprising:
a linear transmission member that includes an electric wire;
a connector housing in which an end portion of the electric wire in a lengthwise direction of the electric wire is housed;
an outer armor member that is provided in an intermediate portion in the lengthwise direction of the electric wire, and fixed to an outer circumferential portion of the linear transmission member, the outer armor member including a first rib; and
a cover member that is provided between the connector housing and the outer armor member in the lengthwise direction of the electric wire, and concentric to the outer circumferential portion of the linear transmission member, the cover member further includes a cylindrical holding portion, a connector cover portion and an elastic cylindrical portion, the elastic cylindrical portion interposed between the cylindrical holding portion and the connector cover portion, the cylindrical holding portion includes a second rib abutting against the first rib of the outer armor member;
wherein the cover member is relatively movable in the lengthwise direction of the electric wire, and the connector housing and the outer armor member restrict a movement of the cover member in the lengthwise direction of the electric wire when the electric wire is attached to the connector housing, and
the cover member is an elastic member, and includes the elastic cylindrical portion that is compression-deformable in a lengthwise direction of the cover member, the cylindrical holding portion is configured to be detachably mounted onto an outer surface of the connector housing.
