Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A braid includes a plurality of metal-plated bundles braided to each other, each of the metal-plated bundle having a flattened shape. Each of the metal-plated bundle includes a plurality of tensile strength fibers, a plurality of first metal plating portions that are formed on the tensile strength fibers respectively, and a second metal plating portion including the first metal plating portions therein, the first metal plating portions having the tensile strength fibers respectively.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A braid comprising: a plurality of metal-plated bundles braided to each other, each of the metal-plated bundle having a flattened shape, wherein each of the metal-plated bundle comprises: a plurality of tensile strength fibers; a plurality of first metal plating portions that are formed on the tensile strength fibers respectively; and a second metal plating portion including the first metal plating portions therein, the first metal plating portions having the tensile strength fibers respectively. 2 . The braid according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first metal plating portions is formed on each of the tensile strength fibers by applying first metal plating to the tensile strength fibers. 3 . The braid according to claim 1 , wherein the second metal plating portion is formed on the plurality of first metal plating portions collectively by applying second metal plating to the first metal plating portions collectively. 4 . The braid according to claim 1 , wherein the second metal plating portion has a surface roughness of 0.1 μm or more and 0.5 μm or less. 5 . The braid according to claim 1 , wherein a value obtained by dividing a thickness of the second metal plating portion by a thickness of each of the first metal plating portions is 0.1 or more and 1.0 or less. 6 . A wire harness, comprising: an electric wire; the braid according to claim 1 which covers a periphery of the electric wire; and an exterior member which covers a periphery of the braid with a gap therebetween.
