Abstract

Abstract A plurality of connecting wires to be connected to separate devices are arranged regularly and fastened with a string at the front end, the intermediate end and the rear end corresponding to the position of the respective device so as to provide a flat structure including the fastening points in connection with the arrangement in order and the position of each end of the connecting wires so that the wiring can be easily attained to improve productivity; the reading of wiring diagram in the wiring operation is needless by connecting a data card; the flat structure facilitates employment of machines and the combination with a computer allows a fully automatic system. When the connecting wires are bundled, the increase of occupied sectional area is prevented and the occupied sectional area is substantially the same as that of the conventional one. The present invention is suited to the wiring of electric control devices.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 210 words
A wire harness comprising: a plurality of connecting wires with each said wire being provided with terminals on each end and wherein said connecting wires are used for wiring electrical control devices; a paper tape on which each of said wires is placed side-by-side and independent of each other with a space therebetween; an adhesive tape adhering to said paper tape and covering the connecting wires on the side opposite said paper tape in order to hold said connecting wires on said paper tape, wherein said connecting wires are divided into a plurality of sections corresponding to a unit of wiring for each section wherein the spacing between sections is larger than the spacing between each of said wires in each section so that each unit of wiring may be easily separated manually from each of the other units by breaking said paper and adhesive tape between said sections and wherein the spacing between said wires is such that said harness is capable of being folded together for transportation; wherein data for each connecting wire is printed on the surface opposite said wires of said paper tape; and wherein said adhesive tape and said paper tape may be easily separated manually in order to easily remove the respective connecting wires.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 210 words
A wire harness comprising: a plurality of connecting wires with each said wire being provided with terminals on each end and wherein said connecting wires are used for wiring electrical control devices; a paper tape on which each of said wires is placed side-by-side and independent of each other with a space therebetween; an adhesive tape adhering to said paper tape and covering the connecting wires on the side opposite said paper tape in order to hold said connecting wires on said paper tape, wherein said connecting wires are divided into a plurality of sections corresponding to a unit of wiring for each section wherein the spacing between sections is larger than the spacing between each of said wires in each section so that each unit of wiring may be easily separated manually from each of the other units by breaking said paper and adhesive tape between said sections and wherein the spacing between said wires is such that said harness is capable of being folded together for transportation; wherein data for each connecting wire is printed on the surface opposite said wires of said paper tape; and wherein said adhesive tape and said paper tape may be easily separated manually in order to easily remove the respective connecting wires.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
The wire harness according to claim 1 wherein said paper tape and said adhesive tape is made of a material having a sufficient strength to hold said connecting wires.
