Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A conductive member that includes a flexible conductor in which a plurality of strands are bundled together and that has flexibility; a rigid conductor that has a shape retaining property; a body that is formed at an end portion of the rigid conductor and that surrounds the flexible conductor and is fixed to the flexible conductor; and a sliding contact that has a form protruding from an inner circumference of the body and with which the strands can make sliding contact, wherein the sliding contact has a bent shape.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A conductive member comprising: a flexible conductor including a plurality of strands bundled together, the flexible conductor having flexibility; a rigid conductor having a shape retaining property; a body formed at an end portion of the rigid conductor, the body surrounding the flexible conductor and fixed to the flexible conductor; and a plurality of sliding contacts formed on an inner circumferential surface of the body of the rigid conductor and protruding inward from the inner circumference of the body, the plurality of sliding contacts configured to make sliding contact with the plurality of strands, the plurality of sliding contacts having a bent shape and extending inward. 2. The conductive member according to claim 1 , wherein the rigid conductor includes a tubular main body that forms a region extending over an entire length of the rigid conductor excluding the body, and a tubular terminal that is disposed at the end portion of the rigid conductor and that forms the body. 3. The conductive member according to claim 1 , wherein protruding ends of the plurality of sliding contacts are joined together. 4. The conductive member according to claim 1 , wherein: the rigid conductor has a tubular shape over an entire length of the rigid conductor, and the plurality of sliding contacts are formed on an inner circumference of the rigid conductor over an entire length of the rigid conductor.
