Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A conductive member to be routed in a vehicle includes a pipe member being tubular in shape and capable of keeping a shape, a core wire connected to an end portion of the pipe member and having flexibility, a connector terminal connected to an end portion of the core wire on a side that is opposite to the pipe member, and a corrugated tube covering the pipe member and the core wire and having flexibility.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A conductive member to be routed in a vehicle, the conductive member comprising: at least one tube-shaped conductor being tubular in shape and having at least one bending point, the tube-shaped conductor is capable of keeping a shape; a flexible conductor connected to an end portion of the tube-shaped conductor and having flexibility, the tube-shaped conductor is longer in length than the flexible conductor; a terminal connected to an end portion of the flexible conductor on a side that is opposite to the tube-shaped conductor; and a sheathing member covering the tube-shaped conductor and the flexible conductor and having flexibility. 2. The conductive member according to claim 1 , wherein the tube-shaped conductor includes a plurality of tube-shaped portions, and the conductive member comprises a coupling member having flexibility and conductivity and coupling the plurality of tube-shaped portions. 3. The conductive member according to claim 1 , wherein an end portion of the flexible conductor on the tube-shaped conductor side is inserted into the tube-shaped conductor. 4. The conductive member according to claim 1 , the conductive member comprising: a plurality of the tube-shaped conductors; a shielding member covering at least the plurality of tube-shaped conductors and having flexibility; and an insulating layer interposed between the plurality of tube-shaped conductors and the shielding member.
