Abstract: The invention is directed to a woven electrical transmission cable formed with cut zones, body zones and an identification tracer. The cable is formed of an array of longitudinally extending insulated conductor warp wires arranged side by side. A plurality of longitudinally extending synthetic yarns arranged to be substantially parallel with and substantially adjacent one edge of the array of conductive wires. The synthetic yarns are colored a color which distinguishes from the color of the conductor wires. A weft yarn is woven with the array of conductor wires and the synthetic yarns to form the body zone. The weft yarn weaves only with the synthetic yarns to form the cut zones which are arranged in spaced manner longitudinally of the cable. The conductor wires weave with the weft yarn in a two up two down twill weave to form the body zones.

Abstract: A woven shielded cable in which a plurality of conductor wires and a plurality of spacer cords are alternately arranged to extend longitudinally of the cable. A woven outer cover is formed from metalized warp and weft yarns, to encapsulate the conductor and spacer cords to form a shield therefor. A set of binder yarns weave with the weft yarns on opposite side of the conductor wires and spacer cords to positively lock the warp yarns, the spacer cords and the conductor wires in position relative to each other. The cable may be formed with a hinge arranged longitudinally along an intermediate point. In this instance the warp yarns are divided into two groups which weave on opposed sides of the hinge and on opposite surfaces of the opposite sides. The conductor wires are stacked and shielded from each other when the cable is folded along the hinge.

Abstract: A woven electrical transmission cable is disclosed which may be flat (A) or multilayered (A'). The cable consists of a plurality of woven cable sections (B, C, D). Each cable section is formed from weft yarn (12) interwoven with warp yarns (14, 18, 22). Longitudinal electrical warp conductors (10, 16, 20) are bound by the weave pattern in each woven cable section (B, C, D) respectively. Hinge lines (30, 32) woven between adjacent cable sections allow the cable to be folded in a multilayered configuration with branches (B', C', D') broken out from each layer.

Abstract: A woven electrical transmission cable and method for the rapid repair of a defective electrical cable in an aircraft and the like is disclosed. A woven electrical transmission cable (A) for rapid repair includes longitudinal warp anchor cords (B) interwoven with warp and weft yarns (38, 40). The warp and weft yarns are woven in a prescribed pattern in which elongated electrical conductors (36) are bound in individual cells (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32). A prescribed number of conductors (36) is included in each cell which may be easily traced and identified at opposing ends of the cable within the individual cells. This insures reliable termination at the ends of the cable. In accordance with the method, cable (A) is bonded to the skin (12a) of an aircraft adjacent access openings (14, 16) to repair a defective cable (11a ) which has been damaged by a bullet or shell through hole (11). Woven electrical repair cable (A) by-passes defective cable (11a) and may be terminated through the access openings.

Abstract: A crimp contact and method for terminating discrete electrical conductor wires with a printed circuit board includes a crimp contact A having a crimp barrel (10) in which wire (16) is crimped. A solder post (24) extends from a widened circular flange (22) which is integral with the crimp barrel. Spacer block (20) spaces circular flange (22) above plated through hole (32) so that a space is provided which may be completely filled with solder. A pair of quarter round seating sections (28 and 30) are formed on opposing surfaces (24a and 24c) of solder post (24). The remaining periphery of solder post is open at (42) to facilitate upward and complete flow of the solder.

Abstract: A woven electrical multi-conductor cable is disclosed having alternating longitudinal sections having generally flat and round configurations wherein the flat section affords binding of the conductors in fixed locations for convenient termination and uni-directional routing and wherein conductors are harnessed in the round section in random order for gimbal flexibility affording omni-directional routing of the cable in the round section.
