Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A composite cable includes an electric cable including two unshielded power wires, each of which includes a center conductor covered with an insulation, the electric cable being configured to be connected to an electric parking brake mechanism for preventing rotation of wheels after stopping a vehicle, a sensor cable including two unshielded signal wires, each of which includes a center conductor covered with an insulation, the sensor cable being configured to be connected to an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) sensor for measuring a rotation speed of the wheels during running of the vehicle, and a common outer sheath formed by extrusion molding and collectively covering the electric cable and the sensor cable. The two unshielded signal wires contact each other. An outer diameter of each of the power wires is different from an outer diameter of each of the two unshielded signal wires.

What is claimed is: 1. A composite cable, comprising: an electric cable consisting of two unshielded power wires, each of which comprises a center conductor covered with an insulation, the electric cable being configured to be connected to an electric parking brake mechanism for preventing rotation of wheels after stopping a vehicle; a sensor cable consisting of two unshielded signal wires, each of which comprises a center conductor covered with an insulation, the sensor cable being configured to be connected to an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) sensor for measuring a rotation speed of the wheels during running of the vehicle; and a common outer sheath formed by extrusion molding and collectively covering the electric cable and the sensor cable, wherein the two unshielded signal wires contact each other, wherein an outer diameter of each of the power wires is different from an outer diameter of each of the two unshielded signal wires, and wherein a straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded power wires intersects with a straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded signal wires in a cross-sectional view. 2. The composite cable according to claim 1 , wherein the common outer sheath is interposed between the two unshielded power wires and the two unshielded signal wires, and wherein a state that the straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded power wires intersects with the straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded signal wires in the cross-sectional view is maintained. 3. The composite cable according to claim 2 , wherein the common outer sheath is interposed between the two unshielded power wires. 4. The composite cable according to claim 1 , wherein the electric cable and the sensor cable are covered with a separator comprising a paper, a fabric, or a resin tape, wherein the separator is covered with the common outer sheath, wherein the two unshielded power wires contact each other and the two unshielded signal wires contact each other, wherein the two unshielded power wires and the two unshielded signal wires contact the separator, and wherein a state that the straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded power wires intersects with the straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded signal wires in the cross-sectional view is maintained. 5. The composite cable according to claim 1 , wherein the electric cable and the sensor cable are covered with a separator comprising a paper, a fabric, or a resin tape, wherein the separator is covered with the common outer sheath, wherein a filler is provided between the separator and the two unshielded power wires and between the separator and the two unshielded signal wires, and wherein a state that the straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded power wires intersects with the straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded signal wires in the cross-sectional view is maintained. 6. The composite cable according to claim 1 , wherein the common outer sheath is interposed between the two unshielded power wires and the two unshielded signal wires. 7. The composite cable according to claim 1 , wherein the common outer sheath is interposed between one of the two unshielded power wires and one of the two unshielded signal wires. 8. The composite cable according to claim 1 , wherein the common outer sheath is interposed between the two unshielded power wires. 9. The composite cable according to claim 1 , wherein the electric cable and the sensor cable are covered with a separator comprising a paper, a fabric, or a resin tape. 10. The composite cable according to claim 9 , wherein the separator is covered with the common outer sheath. 11. The composite cable according to claim 10 , wherein the two unshielded power wires contact each other and the two unshielded signal wires contact each other. 12. The composite cable according to claim 10 , wherein a filler is provided between the separator and the two unshielded power wires and between the separator and the two unshielded signal wires. 13. A composite cable, comprising: an electric cable consisting of two unshielded power wires, each of which comprises a center conductor covered with an insulation, the electric cable being configured to be connected to an electric parking brake mechanism for preventing rotation of wheels after stopping a vehicle; a sensor cable consisting of two unshielded signal wires, each of which comprises a center conductor covered with an insulation, the sensor cable being configured to be connected to an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) sensor for measuring a rotation speed of the wheels during running of the vehicle; and a common outer sheath formed extrusion molding and collectively covering the electric cable and the sensor cable, wherein the two unshielded signal wires contact each other, wherein an outer diameter of each of the power wires is different from an outer diameter of each of the two unshielded signal wires, wherein a straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded power wires intersects with a straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded signal wires in a cross-sectional view, wherein the electric cable and the sensor cable are covered with a separator comprising a paper, a fabric, or a resin tape, wherein the separator is covered with the common outer sheath, wherein the two unshielded power wires contact each other and the two unshielded signal wires contact each other, and wherein the two unshielded power wires and the two unshielded signal wires contact the separator. 14. A composite cable, comprising: an electric cable consisting of two unshielded power wires, each of which comprises a center conductor covered with an insulation, the electric cable being configured to be connected to an electric parking brake mechanism for preventing rotation of wheels after stopping a vehicle; a sensor cable consisting of two unshielded signal wires, each of which comprises a center conductor covered with an insulation, the sensor cable being configured to be connected to an Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) sensor for measuring a rotation speed of the wheels during running of the vehicle; and a common outer sheath collectively covering the electric cable and the sensor cable, wherein a straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductor of the two unshielded power wires intersects with a straight line connecting between respective centers of the center conductors of the two unshielded signal wires in a cross-sectional view, wherein the electric cable and the sensor cable are covered with a separator comprising a paper, a fabric, or a resin tape, wherein the separator is covered with the common outer sheath, wherein the two unshielded power wires contact each other and the two unshielded signal wires contact each other, and wherein the two unshielded power wires and the two unshielded signal wires contact the separator. 15. The composite cable according to claim 14 , wherein an outer diameter of one of the power wires is different from an outer diameter of one of the two unshielded signal wires.
