Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
45 words
A method for making a twisted cable from a woven flat cable comprising a plurality of warp conductors comprising: A. twisting the flat cable about its longitudinal axis, and B. applying a retainer to the twisted cable to retain the cable in the twisted configuration.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
45 words
A method for making a twisted cable from a woven flat cable comprising a plurality of warp conductors comprising: A. twisting the flat cable about its longitudinal axis, and B. applying a retainer to the twisted cable to retain the cable in the twisted configuration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method for making the cable as recited in claim 1 wherein the cable is helically wound about the longitudinal axis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A method for making a cable as recited in claim 1 wherein said application of the retainer comprises wrapping the twisted cable with an intermediate tape and extruding a thermoplastic material about said tape.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
54 words
A method of making a twisted cable from individual electrical conductors comprising the steps of: A. weaving the conductors into a flat cable with the conductors being disposed longitudinally along the flat cable, B. twisting the woven flat cable about its longitudinal axis, and C. apply an insulating retaining jacket around the twisted cable.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
54 words
A method of making a twisted cable from individual electrical conductors comprising the steps of: A. weaving the conductors into a flat cable with the conductors being disposed longitudinally along the flat cable, B. twisting the woven flat cable about its longitudinal axis, and C. apply an insulating retaining jacket around the twisted cable.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
A method as recited in claim 4 wherein said application of the insulating retaining jacket comprises: A. wrapping the twisted cable with an intermediate thermosetting tape, and B. extruding a thermoplastic material over the tape.
