Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cable includes: a linear conductor; a plurality of resin hollow tubes which are disposed around the conductor so that an air layer is formed around the conductor and which extend in a longitudinal direction of the conductor; and an insulating protective member configured to protect the conductor and the plurality of hollow tubes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cable comprising: a linear conductor; a plurality of hollow tubes made of resin and which are disposed around the conductor so that an air layer is formed around the conductor, the hollow tubes extending in a longitudinal direction of the conductor; and an insulating protective member configured to protect the conductor and the plurality of hollow tubes, wherein the insulating protective member surrounds the linear conductor and the plurality of hollow tubes without leaving a gap, the insulating protective member being in direct contact with the linear conductor, the insulating protective member having an outer peripheral edge defining an outer periphery of the cable, wherein a region extends between the outer peripheral edge of the insulating protective member and an outer peripheral edge of the linear conductor, the region consisting essentially of the insulating protective member, the plurality of hollow tubes, and the air layer. 2. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein adjacent ones of the plurality of hollow tubes are in contact with each other. 3. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow tubes helically extend along an outer peripheral surface of the conductor. 4. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein at least one end of the hollow tubes is closed. 5. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein the protective member is a tubular member surrounding the plurality of hollow tubes. 6. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein ends of the hollow tubes that are placed in an interior of a work pan of a wire electrical discharge machine are closed.
