1. A wire harness comprising:
a wire harness main body including an electric wire and an outer cover covering an outer circumference of the electric wire;
a first route regulator that is attached to an outer circumference of the outer cover and regulates a route of the wire harness main body; and
an attachment that is attached to a portion of an outer circumference of the first route regulator in a lengthwise direction of the first route regulator, wherein:
the first route regulator includes an insertion port that is open in a direction orthogonal to the lengthwise direction of the first route regulator and extends along an entire first route regulator in the lengthwise direction of the first route regulator,
the attachment includes:
a receiver covering a portion in a circumferential direction of the first route regulator;
a lid, together with the receiver, covering an entire circumference of the first route regulator;
first fixing portions that are respectively provided at two ends of the receiver in a circumferential direction of the receiver, the first fixing portions each having a first mating surface and a first inclined surface,
wherein the first inclined surface is on a side opposite to the first mating surface and extends away from the first mating surface outward in the radial direction of the attachment;
second fixing portions that are respectively provided at two ends of the lid in a circumferential direction of the lid, the second fixing portions each having a second mating surface and a second inclined surface,
wherein the second inclined surface is on a side opposite to the second mating surface and extends away from the second mating surface outward in the radial direction of the attachment; and
fixing members, each fixing member being attached to a first fixing portion and a second fixing portion that overlap each other, and each fixing member inhibiting the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion, to which the fixing member is attached, from separating from each other,
the receiver and the lid hold the first route regulator,
the fixing member is attachable to the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion that overlap each other through sliding movement along a lengthwise direction of the attachment, and is attached thereto,
at least one of: (i) the first fixing portion has at least one engagement protrusion provided on the first inclined surface; and (ii) the second fixing portion has at least one engagement protrusion provided on the second inclined surface, and
the at least one engagement protrusion engages with the fixing member at an outer side of the fixing member in a direction in which the fixing member in an attached state is detached while allowing attachment of the fixing member, and inhibits the fixing member from falling off.
