Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A printed wiring cable termination comprising first and second rectangular termination cards each having first and second substantially parallel spaced slots disposed therethrough, a flexible printed wiring cable disposed between said first and second termination cards, around one end of one of said first termination card, passing inwardly through a first of said transverse slots in said first termination card proximate the end abouT which said cable is disposed, passing between itself and said first termination card, and outwardly through the second of said transverse slots in said first termination card, said printed wiring cable having at least a portion of each of the conductors thereof adjacent the end of said first termination card exposed, and means for securing said termination cards together such as to clamp said cable therebetween in the space between said first and second transverse slots.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
A printed wiring cable termination comprising first and second rectangular termination cards each having first and second substantially parallel spaced slots disposed therethrough, a flexible printed wiring cable disposed between said first and second termination cards, around one end of one of said first termination card, passing inwardly through a first of said transverse slots in said first termination card proximate the end abouT which said cable is disposed, passing between itself and said first termination card, and outwardly through the second of said transverse slots in said first termination card, said printed wiring cable having at least a portion of each of the conductors thereof adjacent the end of said first termination card exposed, and means for securing said termination cards together such as to clamp said cable therebetween in the space between said first and second transverse slots.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
106 words
A printed wiring cable termination as recited in claim 1 further including a second flexible printed wiring cable disposed between said first and second termination cards, around one end of said second termination card, passing inwardly through a first of said transverse slots in said second termination card proximate the end about which said second cable is disposed, passing between itself and said second termination card, and outwardly through the second of said transverse slots in said second termination card, and said second printed wiring cable having at least a portion of each of the conductors thereof adjacent the end of said second termination card exposed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A printed wiring cable termination as recited in claim 1 further including each of said first and second termination cards having the edge thereof opposite that around whih said wiring cable is disposed outwardly flared away from said wiring cable.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A printed wiring cable termination as recited in claim 1 further including each of said first and second termination cards having first and second longitudinally extending cable locating tabs formed in the edge thereof around which said wiring cable passes.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
A printed wiring cable termination as recited in claim 2 wherein said first and second termination cards are formed from a metallic stock, and further including a layer of electrically insulating material disposed between each of said termination cards and said printed wiring cable, and a layer of electrically insulating material disposed between said printed wiring cables.
