Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wire harness including: at least one electric wire; and a braided member that has a plurality of conductive strands that are braided together and surrounds an outer circumference of the at least one electric wire, wherein: the braided member includes an intersection where the strands intersect, and the intersection has a braid where the intersecting strands are double-braided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A braided member comprising: a plurality of conductive strands braided together; and at least one intersection where the strands intersect, wherein each intersection of the at least one intersection has a braid where the intersecting strands are double-braided only once, wherein, of interior angles of a mesh hole formed by the strands, a branch angle formed by two different strands that branch and extend from the at least one intersection is smaller than a bend angle formed by respective portions of one of the strands that extend on two sides of the at least one intersection, and wherein the plurality of conductive strands braided together have a sheet shape, which is wrapped a plurality of turns around an outer circumference of an electric wire. 2. The braided member according to claim 1 , wherein, of the interior angles of the mesh hole formed by the strands, a first branch angle formed by two different strands that respectively branch and extend from the at least one intersection and a second branch angle formed by (i) a strand extending from the at least one intersection and (ii) the at least one intersection are equal, or the second branch angle is larger than the first branch angle. 3. The braided member according to claim 1 , wherein the strands each have a metal wire and a coating film covering an outer circumference of the metal wire. 4. A wire harness comprising: at least one electric wire; and the braided member according to claim 1 , which has a plurality of conductive strands that are braided together and surrounds an outer circumference of the at least one electric wire. 5. The wire harness according to claim 4 , wherein the braided member has a sheet shape and is wrapped a plurality of turns around the outer circumference of the at least one electric wire. 6. The wire harness according to claim 4 , wherein the braided member surrounds the outer circumference of the at least one electric wire such that each of the strands extend along a longitudinal axis of the at least one electric wire.
