Shielding construction and wiring harness
View Patent ↗Edge portions are formed on a shell fixing portion, disposed in upper and lower positions on the shell fixing portion and formed extending horizontally. Crimp pieces are continuously formed on the edge portions, and the crimp pieces are folded back at the edge portions therealong so as to extend towards a distal end of a cylindrical shell portion. The crimp pieces each have a rectangular flat plate-like shape and disposed facing oppositely corresponding external flat surface portions of the cylindrical shell portion with a predetermined space defined therebetween. The crimp pieces are formed as a crimping applied portion and the cylindrical shell portion is formed as a crimping bearing portion.
1. A shielding construction in which crimping is adopted in fixedly connecting a conductive shielding shell with a conductive shielding member that covers one or a plurality of conductive paths, the conductive shielding shell having a cylindrical shell portion formed into a cylindrical configuration and a shell fixing portion that is contiguous with a proximal end portion of the cylindrical shell portion, the shielding construction comprising:
one or a plurality of crimp pieces that are formed integrally with the conductive shielding shell so as to extend towards a distal end of the cylindrical shell portion, and
the crimp pieces are each formed into a flat plate-like shape as a form resulting before crimping, wherein
the shielding shell is formed by pressing a piece of sheet metal, and the crimp pieces are formed by being folded back at edge portions of the shell fixing portion therealong or being folded back at the proximal end portion of the cylindrical shell portion.
2. A shielding construction as set forth in claim 1 , wherein
the crimp pieces are disposed on external flat surface portions of the cylindrical shell portion so as to face oppositely each other.
3. A wiring harness comprising a shielding construction as set forth in claim 1 .
4. A wiring harness comprising:
a plurality of conductive paths;
a conductive shielding member that covers each of the conductive paths;
a conductive shielding shell including a cylindrical shell portion formed into a cylindrical configuration, and a shell fixing portion that is contiguous with a proximal end portion of the cylindrical shell portion; and
one or a plurality of crimp pieces that are formed integrally with the conductive shielding shell so as to extend towards a distal end of the cylindrical shell portion, the crimp pieces are each formed into a flat plate-like shape as a form resulting before crimping, wherein
the shielding shell is formed by pressing a piece of sheet metal, and the crimp pieces are formed by being folded back at edge portions of the shell fixing portion therealong or being folded back at the proximal end portion of the cylindrical shell portion, and wherein
each crimp piece is deformed toward the cylindrical shell portion such that the conductive shielding member is crimped between each crimp piece and the cylindrical shell portion.
