  • Patent number: 10263347
    Abstract: There is provided a connecting structure for electric cables. A first electric cable includes a first core and a first cover covering the first core. A portion of the first core is exposed from an end of the first cover. A second electric cable includes a second core made of a different metal from that of the first core and a second cover covering the second core. A portion of the second core is exposed from an end of the second cover. A tube is shrunk in a state where the tube accommodates thereinside the portion of the first core and the portion of the second core which are connected to each other. An inside of the tube except for the portion of the first core and the portion of the second core is filled with cured hot-melt.

  • Patent number: 9882292
    Abstract: An inter-wire connection structure includes: first and second wires connected to each other and each having a core sheathed with an insulating sheath section and including a plurality of element wires; a single-wire structure section in which the plurality of element wires of at least one of the cores exposed from the insulating sheath sections are made into a single; a core joint section in which both the cores exposed from the insulating sheath sections are joined at a position where an entire region of the single-wire structure section is not overlapped, and having an outer peripheral surface in a shape of a circumferential surface; and a tube tightly covering portions of the cores exposed from the insulating sheath sections including the single-wire structure section and the core joint section, and portions of the insulating sheath sections.

  • Patent number: 9780460
    Abstract: There is provided an electric cable connection terminal. A first connection part is configured to connect the one electric cable thereto. A second connection part is configured to connect the other electric cable thereto. A waterproof member is configured to be melted to seal leading end portions of core wires of the electrics cable when being heated and configured to be solidified to waterproof the leading end portions when being cooled. An accommodation part accommodating the waterproof member therein is provided between the first and second connection parts. A thermal shrinkage member is provided to cover the first and second connection parts and the accommodation part and configured to be shrunken when being heated to closely contact the first and second connection parts and the accommodation part. When the cables are connected to the first and second connection part, respectively, the core wires are arranged at an interval.
