Abstract

A conductive member includes an enclosure, a coolant, and a conductor. The enclosure includes a sheet and has liquid tightness. The coolant is enclosed in the enclosure. The conductor includes a cool section that is disposed in the enclosure and a projecting section that is liquid-tightly sealed with the sheet and projects from the enclosure.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A conductive member comprising:
an enclosure including at least one sheet and having liquid tightness;
a liquid coolant enclosed in the enclosure; and
a conductor including a cool section disposed in the enclosure and a projecting section projecting from the enclosure and being liquid-tightly bonded with the at least one sheet.

2. The conductive member according to claim 1 , further comprising a sealant disposed between the projecting section of the conductor and an inner surface of the at least one sheet, wherein a gap between the projecting section and the sealant and a gap between the inner surface of the at least one sheet and the sealant are liquid-tightly sealed.

3. The conductive member according to claim 1 , further comprising an absorbent sheet disposed in the enclosure, wherein the absorbent sheet is configured to hold the liquid coolant therein.

4. The conductive member according to claim 3 , wherein the absorbent sheet is disposed in an internal space of the enclosure to surround a periphery of the conductor in an internal space of the enclosure.

5. The conductive member according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one sheet of the enclosure includes a pair of sheets disposed to overlap each other, and
the sheets include edges disposed on top of each other and liquid-tightly bonded.

6. The conductive member according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one sheet of the enclosure is folded and includes a folding section extending along a longitudinal direction in which the conductor extends, and
the at least one sheet includes edges located on an opposite side from the folding section, disposed on top of each other, and liquid-tightly bonded together.
