Abstract

Abstract In a method of grounding a shielded wire and a structure of grounding a shielded wire, a ring portion is formed in a ring shape by leading a braided wire to or to an opposite side of an insulating outer sheath so as to be separated in an outer circumferential direction of the insulating outer sheath. With respect to an outer circumference of the insulating outer sheath, an inner circumferential cylinder is disposed at an inner circumference side of the ring portion and an outer circumferential cylinder is disposed at an outer circumference side thereof. Further, the outer circumferential cylinder and the inner circumferential cylinder are connected each other to form a sleeve fitting. With the sleeve fitting, an attached wire is connected to the ring portion, such that grounding is performed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 170 words
A method of grounding a shielded wire having a core wire, an insulating inner sheath that covers the core wire, a braided wire that covers the insulating inner sheath, and an insulating outer sheath that is provided around the braided wire and covers the core wire, the insulating inner sheath, and the braided wire, the method of grounding a shielded wire comprising the steps of: peeling the braided wire to expose the braided wire and leading the braided wire to be separated in an outer circumferential direction of the insulating outer sheath so as to form a ring portion molded in a ring shape; and providing a sleeve fitting having an inner circumferential cylinder, an outer circumferential cylinder, and a connecting portion that connects ends of the inner circumferential cylinder and the outer circumferential cylinder in a longitudinal direction of the shielded wire, inserting the ring portion of the braided wire and an attached wire between the inner circumferential cylinder and the outer circumferential cylinder and pressing to one another.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 170 words
A method of grounding a shielded wire having a core wire, an insulating inner sheath that covers the core wire, a braided wire that covers the insulating inner sheath, and an insulating outer sheath that is provided around the braided wire and covers the core wire, the insulating inner sheath, and the braided wire, the method of grounding a shielded wire comprising the steps of: peeling the braided wire to expose the braided wire and leading the braided wire to be separated in an outer circumferential direction of the insulating outer sheath so as to form a ring portion molded in a ring shape; and providing a sleeve fitting having an inner circumferential cylinder, an outer circumferential cylinder, and a connecting portion that connects ends of the inner circumferential cylinder and the outer circumferential cylinder in a longitudinal direction of the shielded wire, inserting the ring portion of the braided wire and an attached wire between the inner circumferential cylinder and the outer circumferential cylinder and pressing to one another.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 46 words
The method of grounding a shielded wire according to claim 1 , wherein the sleeve fitting is provided with a through hole formed in the connecting portion, and the attached wire passes through the through hole and is pressed to one another with the braided wire.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 163 words
A structure for grounding a shielded wire, comprising: a core wire that is made a conductor; an insulating inner sheath that covers the core wire; a braided wire that covers the insulating inner sheath; and a sleeve fitting that is provided around the braided wire and covers the core wire, the insulating inner wire, and the braided wire and that connects the shielded wire to an attached wire to be grounded, wherein the sleeve fitting has an inner circumferential cylinder, an outer circumferential cylinder, and a connecting portion that connects ends of the inner circumferential cylinder and the outer circumferential cylinder in a longitudinal direction of the shielded wire, and the braided wire is led to be separated in an outer circumferential direction of the insulating outer sheath to form a ring portion molded in a ring shape, and the ring portion and the attached wire are inserted between the inner circumferential cylinder and the outer circumferential cylinder and pressed to one another.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 163 words
