ABSTRACT:
A multiconductor electrical cable assembly for spanning between stationary and movable machine parts, and a method for making such a cable assembly.
At least a portion of the cable assembly is comprised of multiple insulation - sheathed conductors arranged side-by-side in contiguous relation so that the insulation sheaths of adjacent conductors have a substantial interfacing contact area. First and second beads of material integral with the adjacent conductor sheaths and located adjacent each side of the interfacing contact area hold the cable together and maintain its flat profile. The cable can also include portions having a compact profile and can have unbonded ends.
The cable assembly is formed by applying a bonding agent, comprised of a filler dissolved in a solvent for the insulation sheaths, as a bead between each pair and on each side of contiguous conductor sheaths. The bonding agent beads initially intermingle with the insulating sheaths material, but do not penetrate into the interfacing area between contiguous sheaths. The bonding agent solvent then evaporates, leaving beads of the filler material which are integral with the material of the insulating sheaths.
