Patent number: 11569007Abstract: Provided is a composite cable pair with which it is possible to reduce the difference in durability between a right-wheel composite cable and a left-wheel composite cable. A composite cable pair includes a right-wheel composite cable and a left-wheel composite cable. One end of the composite cable is fixed to a cable fixing portion on the vehicle body side or the chassis side of an automobile, and the other end thereof is fixed to a cable fixing portion on the right wheel side. One end of the composite cable is fixed to a cable fixing portion on the vehicle body side or the chassis side of the automobile, and the other end thereof is fixed to a cable fixing portion on the left wheel side. Wires of the respective wire bundles of the composite cable and the composite cable are twisted in twisting directions that are opposite to each other so that the twisting is tightened, without loosening, by an operation of the handle.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: SUMITOMO WIRING SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Kenta Kobayashi, Akira Kitabata
