Abstract

In a water cutoff structure of a covered wire, a water cutoff portion of an upper side member of a water cutoff member is formed in a recessed shape which is a shape of a curved face along an outer shape of the covered wire. Further, a water cutoff portion of a lower side member is formed in a projected shape in correspondence with the water cutoff portion in the recessed shape and the projected shape is a shape of a curved face in a projected shape in correspondence with the shape of the curved face of the water cutoff portion in the recessed shape.

Claims (24)

1. A water cutoff structure of a covered wire, in which first and second members made of a resin are attached on the covered wire by ultrasonic welding to thereby provide water cutoff, comprising:

the first and second members including a first water cutoff portion and a second water cutoff portion respectively, each of which is welded to core lines provided in the covered wire by ultrasonic welding;

at least a part of the first water cutoff portion of the first member being formed in a recessed shape; and

at least a part of the second water cutoff portion of the second member being formed in a projected shape in correspondence with the shape of the first water cutoff portion;

wherein said core lines are spread along the respective water cutoff portions in the recessed shape and the projected shape.

2. The water cutoff structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first water cutoff portion includes a first curved face along an outer shape of the covered wire and the second water cutoff portion includes a second curved face in correspondence with the first curved face of the first water cutoff portion.

3. The water cutoff structure according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second water cutoff portions includes a recessed face and a projected face which are aligned in a longitudinal direction of the covered wire.

4. The water cutoff structure according to claim 3 , wherein the recessed face of the first water cutoff portion is formed in a shape of a first curved face along an outer shape of the covered wire and the projected face of the second cutoff portion is formed in a shape of a second curved face in correspondence with the first curved face of the first water cutoff portion.

5. The water cutoff structure according to claim 3 , wherein the first and second water cutoff portions haves substantially identical shape.

6. The water cutoff structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second water cutoff members are connected to each other with a hinge.

7. The water cutoff structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a third member including a third water cutoff portion which is welded to core lines provided in the covered wire by ultrasonic welding,

wherein the first cutoff member includes the first water cutoff portion on an opposite side surface so that the first member and the third member are attached to another covered wire by ultrasonic welding.

8. The water cutoff structure according to claim 7 , wherein the opposite first water cutoff portion, the second water cutoff portion and the third water cutoff portion are aligned so that the covered wires are attached at the same time in one ultrasonic process.

9. A water cutoff structure of a covered wire, in which a first and second members made of a resin are attached on the covered wire by ultrasonic welding to thereby provide water cutoff, comprising:

the first and second members including a first water cutoff portion and a second water cutoff portion respectively, each of which is welded to core lines provided in the covered wire by ultrasonic welding;

at least a part of the first water cutoff portion of the first member being formed in a recessed shape; and

at least a part of the second water cutoff portion of the second member being formed in a projected shape in correspondence with the shape of the first water cutoff portion;

wherein the first water cutoff portion includes a first curved face along an outer shape of the covered wire and the second water cutoff portions includes a second curved face in correspondence with the first curved face of the first water cutoff portion.

10. A water cutoff structure of a covered wire, in which a first and second members made of a resin are attached on the covered wire by ultrasonic welding to thereby provide water cutoff, comprising:

the first and second members including a first water cutoff portion and a second water cutoff portion respectively, each of which is welded to core lines provided in the covered wire by ultrasonic welding;

at least a part of the first water cutoff portion of the first member being formed in a recessed shape; and

at least a part of the second water cutoff portion of the second member being formed in a projected shape in correspondence with the shape of the first water cutoff portion;

wherein each of the first and second water cutoff portions includes

a recessed face and a projected face which are aligned in a longitudinal direction of the covered wire.
