Abstract: An embossed tipping paper includes a relief pattern region having a patterned embossing structure formed in the depth of the material of the tipping paper. The embossed tipping paper further includes at least one plain region adjacent to the relief pattern region, the at least one plain region not having an embossing structure formed in the depth of the material of the tipping paper. A sequence of ventilation holes is formed in the at least one plain region. The embossed tipping paper has a substantially rectangular shape and the at least one plain region forms a band of fixed width running between two parallel edges of the substantially rectangular shape.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a wiring harness includes the processes of 1) making plural kinds of electric wires each having a predetermined length (w1, w2, w3, . . . ) for each kind in lots (L1, L2, L3, . . . ) each having several tens to several hundreds wires, the plural kinds of wires constituting a wiring harness and including terminal-equipped wires with one end or both ends connected with a terminal(s) and terminal-free wires with both ends connected to no terminal; 2) temporarily holding groups of wires thus made (L1, L2, L3, . . . ) in predetermined wire holders (H1, H2, H3, . . . ) in the order of lots; and 3) wire arrangement of forming a set of wires for the wiring harness with the groups of wires constituting the wiring harness intensively hung on one or more wire clamps in such a manner that one wire w1 is taken out from the wire holder H1 to lock its one or both ends to predetermined one or two wire clips of the wire clamp provided with plural wire clips, and subsequently, the wires (w2, w3, . . .
