Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electrical conduction path includes a main cable that has a multi-core cable obtained by enveloping a plurality of electric wires together with a sheath, and a plurality of branch cables obtained by dividing the electric wires of the multi-core cable into a plurality of parts, wherein connection portions are provided, in each of which an electric wire of the multi-core cable and an electric wire of a branch cable are electrically connected to each other. According to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the length of the expensive multi-core cable compared to a case where the electric wires of a multi-core cable are used over the entire length of a cable including the branch cables, thus achieving cost reduction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electrical conduction path comprising: a main cable that has a multi-core cable obtained by enveloping a plurality of electric wires together with a sheath; and a plurality of branch cables each sheathed in an insulating covering, the plurality of branch cables obtained by dividing the electric wires of the multi-core cable into a plurality of parts, wherein connection portions are provided, in each of which an electric wire of the multi-core cable and an electric wire of a branch cable are electrically connected to each other, the electric wires of the branch cable being connected only to some of the plurality of electric wires of the multi-core cable; wherein adjacent connection portions of the plurality of connection portions are provided shifted from each other in a direction in which the electric wires extend so as to position each of the connection portions parallel to the insulating cover of a respective one of the plurality of branch cables; and a protection member that covers circumference of the plurality of branch cables and the main cable so as to cover an entire circumference of the connection portions and the main cable, wherein the protection member is a resin molded body molded to cover the connection portions.
