Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A flat cable is provided with cables arranged in parallel in a width direction, and sheaths of the cables adjacent to one another are fused together. The mass of the cable arranged at a center in the width direction is greater than the mass of the cable arranged at edges in the width direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A flat cable, comprising: cables arranged in parallel in a width direction, sheaths of the cables adjacent to one another being fused together, wherein a mass of the cable arranged at a center in the width direction is greater than a mass of the cable arranged at edges in the width direction. 2 . The flat cable according to claim 1 , wherein the mass of the cable arranged at the center in the width direction is greater than 1.0 times and not greater than 2.2 times the mass of the cable arranged at the edges in the width direction. 3 . The flat cable according to claim 1 , wherein a tensile strength of the sheath of each of the cables is 20 MPa or more. 4 . The flat cable according to claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter D 1 in a direction orthogonal to the width direction of the cable arranged at the center in the width direction is larger than an outer diameter D 2 in a direction orthogonal to the width direction of the cable arranged at the edges of the width direction. 5 . The flat cable according to claim 4 , wherein outer diameters of the cables are set to be symmetrical with respect to the center of the width direction. 6 . The flat cable according to claim 1 , further comprising: tubes arranged in parallel outwardly in the width direction from the cables, as well as arranged symmetrically with respect to a center in the width direction.
