Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a method for manufacturing an electrical wire. The electrical wire includes a rod-like conductor having a shape corresponding to a predetermined wiring route and also having rigidity to enable the rod-like conductor to maintain the shape, and an insulation sheath covering the rod-like conductor. The method includes: preparing a plurality of rod-like preliminary conductors having the rigidity so as to correspond to a plurality of sub routes into which the wiring route is divided; processing at least one of the plurality of preliminary conductors into a shape conforming to the corresponding sub routes; connecting the plurality of preliminary conductors together to form the rod-like conductor; and forming the insulation sheath to cover the rod-like conductor.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing an electrical wire, the electrical wire comprising a rod-like conductor having a shape corresponding to a predetermined wiring route and also having rigidity to enable the rod-like conductor to maintain the shape, and an insulation sheath covering the rod-like conductor, the method comprising: preparing a plurality of rod-like preliminary conductors having the rigidity so as to correspond to a plurality of sub routes into which the wiring route is divided; processing at least one of the plurality of preliminary conductors into a shape conforming to the corresponding plurality of sub routes; after the processing, connecting the plurality of preliminary conductors together to form the rod-like conductor; and after the connecting, forming the insulation sheath to cover the rod-like conductor, in a longitudinal direction, including the plurality of preliminary conductors and connections between each of the preliminary conductors. 2. The method for manufacturing an electrical wire according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical wire comprises a plurality of the rod-like conductor having a shape corresponding to the wiring route, and wherein when the insulation sheath is formed, the insulation sheath is formed to cover and bundle the plurality of the rod-like conductor such that the plurality of the rod-like conductor are integrated. 3. The method for manufacturing an electrical wire according to claim 1 , wherein when the rod-like conductor is formed, the plurality of preliminary conductors are connected together by at least one of ultrasonic bonding, crimping, pressure welding, and joining using an attachment.
