Abstract
Abstract A flat multiconductor electrical cable assembly is disclosed. The cable assembly includes a plurality of electrical conductors surrounded in an insulative casing. An insulative sheet overlies the insulative casing and separates a wire mesh ground shield therefrom. An outer cover encloses the entire cable assembly. The insulative sheet is easily strippable from the insulative casing by use of a release strip along one longitudinal edge thereof. This facilitates stripping of the cable by providing non-adhesived area between the insulative sheet to the casing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A shielded electrical cable assembly comprising: a plurality of elongate, spaced electrical conductors; an elongate electrically insulative casing surrounding and electrically isolating said conductors; an elongate electrically conductive shield overlying said casing; an elongate cover overlying said shield, and an elongate insulative sheet disposed between said shield and said casing adhesively bonded on one side of said insulative sheet through said shield to said cover and bonded directly to said casing on the other side, said insulative sheet including along one longitudinal edge on said other side, a continuous release strip for providing a non-bonded relation between said insulative sheet and said casing to facilitate stripping of said casing from said assembly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A shielded electrical cable assembly comprising: a plurality of elongate, spaced electrical conductors; an elongate electrically insulative casing surrounding and electrically isolating said conductors; an elongate electrically conductive shield overlying said casing; an elongate cover overlying said shield, and an elongate insulative sheet disposed between said shield and said casing adhesively bonded on one side of said insulative sheet through said shield to said cover and bonded directly to said casing on the other side, said insulative sheet including along one longitudinal edge on said other side, a continuous release strip for providing a non-bonded relation between said insulative sheet and said casing to facilitate stripping of said casing from said assembly.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
