Abstract

The jointing sleeve component includes a sleeve made of electrically conductive metal. A diameter of the sleeve is to be reduced by swaging on a condition that core wire ends of a plurality of coated electric wires are received in the sleeve. Each core wire end is obtained by removing an insulating coating from the coated electric wire. The jointing sleeve component electrically connects the core wire ends to each other. The sleeve is formed in a pipe-shape from a developed material, which is stamped out from a plate made of the electrically conductive metal to have a specific shape.

Claims (15)

1. A jointing sleeve component comprising:

a sleeve made of electrically conductive metal,

wherein a diameter of the sleeve is to be reduced by swaging on a condition that core wire ends of a plurality of coated electric wires are received in the sleeve, each core wire end being obtained by removing an insulating coating from the coated electric wire, so that the jointing sleeve component electrically connects the core wire ends to each other,

wherein at an end of the sleeve an abutting part is formed, said abutting part abutting against at least a part of an end of the core wire ends, said abutting part having a portion extending in an axial direction of the electric wires and having an abutting end formed at one end thereof, said abutting end being bent inwardly at about a right angle.

2. The jointing sleeve component according to claim 1 , wherein a crimping piece for crimping the insulating coatings is formed at the opposite end of the sleeve.

3. The jointing sleeve component according to claim 1 , wherein an engaging part is formed at one edge of the pipe-shaped sleeve and a mating engaging part, which faces and engages with the engaging part, is formed at an opposite edge of the pipe-shaped sleeve.

4. A joint electric wire comprising:

a plurality of coated electric wires each having core wire ends obtained by removing an insulating coating from the coated electric wire; and

a jointing sleeve component, including a sleeve made of electrically conductive metal, for electrically connecting the core wire ends to each other by swaging the sleeve, which sleeve receives the core wire ends therein,

wherein the jointing sleeve component is the jointing sleeve component according to claim 1 .

5. A jointing sleeve component comprising:

a sleeve made of electrically conductive metal,

wherein a diameter of the sleeve is to be reduced by swaging on a condition that core wire ends of a plurality of coated electric wires are received in the sleeve, each core wire end being obtained by removing an insulating coating from the coated electric wire, so that the jointing sleeve component electrically connects the core wire ends to each other,

wherein the sleeve is formed in a pipe-shape from a developed material, which is stamped out from a plate made of the electrically conductive metal to have a specific shape,

wherein at an end of the sleeve an abutting part is formed, said abutting part abutting against at least a part of an end of the core wire ends inserted from an opposite end of the sleeve, said abutting part having a portion extending in an axial direction of the electric wires and having an abutting end formed at one end thereof, said abutting end being bent inwardly at about a right angle.
