【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は平形ケーブルに関する。[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a flat cable.

増大している。
Flat cables having a series of insulated conductors arranged parallel to each other in the same plane are well known and are in increasing demand for a variety of applications as single-air doorways become more complex and compact.

特に、電気ハーネスやオフィスおよび住宅配線での平形

In particular, there is growing interest in the use of flat cables in electrical harnesses and office and residential wiring.

In practice, extremely difficult problems arise when laying flat cables around corners and around unforeseen obstacles, whether in the present or easy assembly.

Because of the width of this type of cable, the outer curvature at the bend is much smaller than the inner curvature, and the arc length of the individual conductors in the outer bend is substantially less than the arc length of each inner conductor. becomes large.

In ordinary flat cables, adjacent insulated conductors are joined by a continuous web, and the difference in arc length not only causes the cable to twist undesirably from its overall plane, but also causes the inner and outer conductors to be twisted, respectively. The resulting compressive and tensile forces create stored energy that bounces the flat cable, making it very difficult to manipulate in the field.

However, it is clear that the overlapped cables will not be completely flush with the floor or wall panels on which they are laid, and the overlapping method is particularly important for relatively thick, high-current flat cables such as those found in offices and homes. is not suitable.

Another requirement is that the prongs can be easily connected in the field to individual conductors or predetermined conductors 41'+- at desired locations along the flat cable. However, in known flat cables in which the insulated conductors are arranged through a continuous strip of insulating web between adjacent conductors, the insulated conductors are freed by making slits in the web or punching out parts of it. Cable preparation is required for termination, which requires a lot of time and effort, especially when done in the field.

A flat cable according to the invention includes a series of conductors insulated by a plastic material, which insulated conductors are separated by a series of longitudinally spaced transverse webs of plastic joining adjacent insulated conductor sections. , juxtaposed parallel to each other in the same plane, define groups of laterally spaced insulated conductors, each insulated conductor group having a laterally rigid property in the cable plane. Yes, there is no choice,
It is possible to deform a group of insulated conductors from an approximately rectangular outline to an approximately parallelogram outline regardless of adjacent insulated conductor groups to bypass an obstacle, and when supporting both horizontally and vertically with the flat cable, each The group of insulated conductors can maintain such a deformed state.

By deforming the insulated conductor groups one after another in the same direction in the plane of the cable, the direction of the cable can be cumulatively changed significantly, and the flat cable takes on a stepped shape while maintaining a perfectly flat state. The webs remain substantially parallel to each other after deformation, and the conductor sections joined to the webs remain undeformed and extend in the original cable direction. The longitudinal spacing of the webs decreases due to deformation, and the lateral spacing of the individual conductors within the conductor group also decreases, but the central portions of the conductors remain straight and the end portions bend in opposite directions near the web. Therefore, there is no net amount of curvature in any direction.

The stress build-up due to the net curvature in one direction, which occurs in conventional flat cables, is thus avoided, and the cable is fixed to the supporting surface during deformation (forces which do not create a tendency for the cable to substantially elastically recover). Cables are almost unnecessary, and even human workers can easily lay the cables on site.

Additionally, access to individual insulated conductors is gained without the need for on-site cable preparation. To facilitate bulk termination, it is also easy to adjust the spacing of the individual conductors within each group to any desired pitch (within C).

When this cable is manually moved one after another in the transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the cable before deformation, for example in order to bypass an obstacle, the conductor portion near the web becomes zero.
5) is curved and the cable changes from the shape shown in Figure 1 to, for example, the second
It can be transformed into the shape shown in the figure. The mutual spacing (D) of the webs and the mutual spacing of the conductors decrease while both remaining substantially parallel. The individual conductors 1u41i transform from a substantially rectangular profile to a substantially parallelogram profile. Since this cable generally maintains its deformed state even when installed against a vertical plane, for example, a wall plate, it is possible to easily lay the cable around obstacles, for example, during wiring work in a building.

The maintenance capacity has increased. - 18 to 28 gauge wire is suitable for this flat cable, and the wire can be either solid or stranded.
