Abstract
Abstract A connective structure of a plurality of conductive wires which is constructed by removing the insulation covering on one end of each of a plurality of conductive wires, arranging their ends and forming a terminal section by pressure bonding the ends into a united body. The structure is suited for providing a large number of branch wires, and in particular, it has a strong resistance to external forces in the direction of pulling so that the conductive wires will not come off. Additionally, protective coverings are attached to reinforce the boundary section between the conductive wires and the terminal section.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A connective structure for wires, comprising: a plurality of insulated conductive wires each having a stripped end, the stripped ends being bundled together; a solid metallic compound applied to the bundle ends such that any empty spaces between the bundled ends are filled by the metallic compound, whereby oxidation and corrosion will be prevented and bonding strength improved therebetween; and a single terminal integrally formed on the bundle ends by bonding.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
The connective structure of claim 1, wherein the bonding includes pressure-bonding.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The connective structure of claim 1, wherein the pressure-bonding includes untrasonic pressure-bonding.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
The connective structure of claim 1, wherein the bonding includes spot welding.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The connective structure of claim 1, wherein the terminal is formed into a ring-like structure that has a through hole therein.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
The connective structure of claim 1, wherein a cover is provided at the boundary section between the terminal and the wires so as to reinforce the connective structure.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
The connective structure of claim 1, wherein the cover is made of synthetic resin.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
The structure of claim 1, wherein the cover is constructed so as to cover the terminal as well.
