  • Patent number: 7934947
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes: a plurality of casings that are mounted so as to be movable relative to each other and have circuits provided therein; and an electric wire that electrically connects the circuits provided in the casings. The electronic wire has a harness structure that includes a plurality of wires and connection portions provided at both ends of each of the plurality of wires, and connection portions of the casings to the harness are arranged such that a line linking the connection portions is not parallel to a direction in which the plurality of casings are moved.

  • Patent number: 5518570
    Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus and method for bonding a sheet material to an elongated base material, in which the sheet material is transferred by a transferring device towards the base material, and the sheet material is bonded by a bonding device to the base material. A static electricity generating device is attached to the bonding device for generating static electricity on the sheet material to cause the sheet material to adhere to the bonding device, so that the sheet material is prevented from falling from the bonding device prior to the bonding step. Furthermore, an apparatus and method for manufacturing a flexible flat cable, applying the above bonding apparatus and method is also disclosed. In this apparatus and method, a pair of insulating tape sheets are transferred towards electric conductors.

  • Patent number: 5223062
    Abstract: A porous insulating resin tape is fed to an inner or outer surface of one of insulating resin tapes with which a plurality of electrical conductors of a flat cable are coated. Printing is performed on at least one surface of surface of the porous insulating resin tape, soaks into the pores of the porous insulating resin tape. The pores are sealed up when the tape is pressed by a heating/pressing rollers and then baked, and the ink is shut off from outside the pores. The printing can be clearly performed without being discolored.
