Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a binding portion of a flat cable which is used, for example, for wiring in a car, and which is used by binding a plurality of cables.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in many cases, a plurality of flat cables are used in an overlapping manner. In order to maintain the overlapping state, the entire circumference of a plurality of flat cables 1 is required as shown in FIG. Wound with an adhesive tape 2, or see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-44888, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-174819.
As disclosed in JP-A-63-187382 and JP-A-63-187382, there is known a binding method of binding using a clip band 3 as shown in FIG. 6 as shown in FIG.

[0003]

However, in these conventional examples, it is necessary to prepare the adhesive tape 2 and the clip band 3 as separate members in order to bind the flat cable 1, and to assemble them. There are problems such as taking time.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems,
An object of the present invention is to provide a flat cable binding portion that can easily and reliably bind a plurality of flat cables by simple means.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, a flat cable binding portion according to the present invention is the most suitable for a case where a plurality of flat cables each having a core wire covered with an insulating sheet are stacked and bound. A side band of the insulating sheet of the lower layer flat cable is extended to form a binding band integral with the flat cable, and the upper layer flat cable is bound together by the binding band.

[0006]

The binding portion of the flat cable having the above-described configuration forms a binding band on the side edge of the lowermost flat cable, and binds the upper layer flat cable using the binding band.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state after binding a plurality of flat cables of the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state before binding them. On one side edge of the lowermost flat cable 11a, a binding band 13 extending on one side or both sides of the insulating sheet 12 on both sides of the flat cable 11a is formed. On both surfaces of the binding band 13, there are provided concavo-convex portions 13 a having a corrugated cross section. At the end of the binding band 13, there are provided mounting holes 13 b for mounting the bound flat cable 11 to an automobile body panel or the like. Is provided.

[0008] Similarly, an insulating sheet 1 is provided on the other opposite edge of the binding band 13 of the same flat cable 11a.
2, a rectangular projecting piece 14 is formed, and the projecting piece 14 is provided with a rectangular locking hole 14a through which the binding band 13 is inserted. On the other hand, on one side edge of the other flat cable 11b, a concave portion 12a into which the binding band 13 enters is formed in order to facilitate alignment when a plurality of flat cables are stacked during binding, and the other side edge is formed. Has a concave recess 1 into which the protruding piece 14 enters.
2b is formed.

When the flat cables 11a, 11b,... Are bound by such a configuration, the flat cable 11a is first placed on the lowermost layer, and the other flat cables 11b are superimposed thereon by an appropriate number.
Next, the binding band 13 and the protruding piece 14 are raised so as to fit in the respective recesses 12a and 12b,
The tip of the binding band 13 is connected to the uppermost flat cable 11.
b along the surface of FIG.
a. When the binding band 13 is pulled while holding the tip of the protruding piece 14, the uneven portion 13 a of the binding band 13 is locked to the edge of the holding piece 14, and the flat cable 11 is locked.
are securely bound.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state after the flat cables of the second embodiment are bound, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state before the flat cables are bound. Here, binding bands 23, 24 of the same shape extending from the insulating sheet 22 are formed on both side edges of the lowermost flat cable 21a,
Uneven portions 23a and 24a are formed along these surfaces,
At the ends of the binding bands 23 and 24, circular holes 23b for attaching the bound flat cable to the vehicle body panel are provided.
24b is drilled. Also, on both side edges of the other flat cable 21b, projecting pieces 25, 26 extend from the insulating sheet 22 and are formed in the same shape at positions corresponding to the binding bands 23, 24. Are provided with locking holes 25a and 26a.

Such flat cables 21a, 21
b,..., first, the flat cable 21a is placed on the lowermost layer, the binding bands 23, 24 are raised, and then the locking holes 2 of the other flat cables 21b are set.
The appropriate number of layers are laminated while inserting the binding bands 23 and 24 into the layers 5a and 26a, respectively. Finally, unity band 2
When the flat cable 21b is tightened by opening the sides 3 and 24 on both sides, the uneven portions 23a and 2a formed on the binding band 13 are formed.
4a are locked to the edges of the locking holes 25a, 26a, and the flat cables 21a, 21b,.

[0012]

As described above, the binding portion of the flat cable according to the present invention has a binding band extending from the insulating sheet on the side edge of one flat cable.
There is no need to prepare other binding parts, and the number of parts can be reduced.
