Abstract: A cover at an end portion of a covered wire is incised by upper and lower cutting blades. The covered wire and the cutting blades are moved relatively in the longitudinal direction of the covered wire to thereby start the cover stripping operation at an end portion of the cover on the core. Thereafter, during this relative movement, the depth of incising the cover by the cutting blades is reduced step by step within a range where blade portions of the cutting blades can catch the cover. Even in the case where the cover of a covered wire is thin, it is made possible not only to strip the cover surely, but also to prevent a core from being injured.

Abstract: Insulatedly coated wires (10) each coated with a metal foil of good electric conductivity and a metal foil of high magnetic permeability to form an electrostatic shielding layer (20) and a magnetic shielding layer (30), are bundled and are connected at their opposite ends to connectors. Each wire is adapted to be shielded with the metal foils in place of the conventional braided tube, thereby providing an easy-to-manufacture wire harness having good shielding effects adjacent the connectors.

Abstract: A wiring assembly for equipment is produced at a low cost and has the same wiring connection as a flexible printed cable (FPC). Various kinds of terminal treatment processes are applied to the assembly. A circuit is formed by arranging polyurethane-insulated magnet wires 21 on a polyimide (PI) sheet 22 formed along a wiring circuit having bent, curved, and branched (jointed) portions. The formed circuit is coated with a PI sheet 23. Accordingly, an etching step such as in an FPC is not required. It is possible to produce a wiring assembly having the same function as an FPC at a low cost and to effect various kinds of terminal treatments as with an FPC. A wiring assembly having a single crossing in a circuit is formed by using insulated conductors.

Abstract: The present invention improves the quality and productivity in a coating peeling-off process in which the coating at an intermediate portion along the length of a wire is peeled off in order to expose a conductor inside the coated wire, while enabling coatings at intermediate portions along the length of multicore wires or small-diameter wires to be peeled off.In a primary process, a heating jig 16 is brought into press contact with the upper half portion of the coating of the peeling-off designated portion at an intermediate potion along the length of coated wires 1 so as to press down the coating downwardly relative to the transverse direction of the wires, whereby a coating peeled-off portion 20 in which a part of conductors 2 is exposed is formed.

Abstract: A flat multicore wire of the present invention has an end structure in which a group of round wires are disposed in a plane-like fashion in parallel with each other at predetermined intervals. In which coatings of the end portions of the group of round wires are uniformly peeled off so as to enable a group of exposed conductors so formed to act as contact portions, in which a connecting tape of a certain length is applied over the top surface of the coatings of the group of round wires along the proximal portions of the contact portions, and in which a securing tape is applied on the underside of the group of exposed conductors in such manner that the securing tape extends over a part of the coatings of the group of round wires.

Abstract: A shielded electric cable includes an insulated conductor having an insulating layer on the exterior of a conductor, a drain wire disposed alongside the conductor and spaced therefrom by a predetermined distance, a shielding layer formed by laterally winding shielding material or a net on the exterior of the conductor, a metal tape electrically connecting the shielding layer to the drain wire, and a jacket in which the conductor, the drain wire, and the metal tape are embedded. Electric wires are integrally connected to and spaced a predetermined distance from the conductor and the drain wire at opposite sides thereof, respectively.
