Abstract
Abstract An electric wire work is produced in the following manner. That is, a combination of a plurality of coaxial cables are cut to a predetermined length. External conductors are exposed in the vicinity of the ends thereof. The external conductors is fixed at a predetermined pitch with a ground bar. Insulators are exposed outside the ground bar. The plurality of insulated cores are fixed at a predetermined pitch with a plastic tape. Then, the insulator layers are shifted together with the plastic tape at a point between the ground bar and the plastic tape so that core conductors 7 are exposed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
212 words
A method of preparing a terminal wire connection, comprising in the following order: cutting a combination of a plurality of coaxial cables to a predetermined length; removing coatings from said coaxial cables in the vicinity of the ends thereof in a removing direction to expose external conductors; fixing said external conductors at a predetermined pitch with two sets of ground bars at one of the ends of said coaxial cables, said two sets of ground bars being arranged such that one set of said two sets of ground bars are both laterally spaced from each other on one side of said coaxial cables and opposite from two associated ground bars on another side of said coaxial cables; removing collectively in the removing direction a plurality of said external conductors together with an outer one of said two sets of ground bars to expose insulated cores, said two sets of ground bars being previously fixed to said external conductors, and said insulated cores including outer insulators and core conductors; fixing said insulated cores at a predetermined pitch by disposing a fixing element including a plastic tape on said insulated cores laterally spaced from said remaining set of ground bars, and shifting said outer insulators in the removing direction to expose said core conductors.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
212 words
A method of preparing a terminal wire connection, comprising in the following order: cutting a combination of a plurality of coaxial cables to a predetermined length; removing coatings from said coaxial cables in the vicinity of the ends thereof in a removing direction to expose external conductors; fixing said external conductors at a predetermined pitch with two sets of ground bars at one of the ends of said coaxial cables, said two sets of ground bars being arranged such that one set of said two sets of ground bars are both laterally spaced from each other on one side of said coaxial cables and opposite from two associated ground bars on another side of said coaxial cables; removing collectively in the removing direction a plurality of said external conductors together with an outer one of said two sets of ground bars to expose insulated cores, said two sets of ground bars being previously fixed to said external conductors, and said insulated cores including outer insulators and core conductors; fixing said insulated cores at a predetermined pitch by disposing a fixing element including a plastic tape on said insulated cores laterally spaced from said remaining set of ground bars, and shifting said outer insulators in the removing direction to expose said core conductors.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method according to claim 1, further comprising collectively coating with solder said exposed core conductors.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
The method according to claim 1, wherein said removing coatings to expose said external conductors is carried out so as to expose a spirally wound shield layer and a copper-metallized polyester tape in combination forming said external conductors.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the removing of said coatings includes forming a transverse slit on said coatings with a laser beam and shifting said coatings in the removing direction.
