Conductor connection structure of plate-like routing members
View Patent ↗A conductor connection structure includes a first plate-like routing member, a second plate-like routing member and a connection mechanism. The first plate-like routing member includes a first flat conductor and a first insulative coating which covers the first flat conductor. A first conductor piece is continuously extended from the first flat conductor at one longer edge of the first plate-like routing member and is exposed from the first insulative coating. The second plate-like routing member includes a second flat conductor and a second insulative coating which covers the second flat conductor. A second conductor piece is continuously extended from the second flat conductor at one longer edge of the second plate-like routing member and is exposed from the second insulative coating. The connection mechanism connects the first conductor piece and the second conductor piece to each other electrically.
1. A conductor connection structure of plate-like routing members, the conductor connection structure comprising:
a first plate-like routing member including:
a first flat conductor having a band-shape; and
a first insulative coating which covers an outer surface of the first flat conductor, and the first plate-like routing member being formed with, at one longer edge thereof, a first conductor piece that is continuously extended from the first flat conductor as a part of the first flat conductor and that is exposed from the first insulative coating;
a second plate-like routing member including:
a second flat conductor having a band-shape; and
a second insulative coating which covers an outer surface of the second flat conductor, and the second plate-like routing member being formed with, at one shorter edge thereof, a second conductor piece that is continuously extended from the second flat conductor as a part of the second flat conductor and that is exposed from the second insulative coating; and
a connection mechanism which connects the first conductor piece and the second conductor piece to each other electrically.
2. The conductor connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first conductor piece is formed by removing a portion, located at the one longer edge of the first plate-like routing member and having a prescribed shape.
3. The conductor connection structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a third plate-like routing member including:
a third flat conductor having a band-shape; and
a third insulative coating which covers an outer surface of the third flat conductor, and the third plate-like routing member being formed with, at one longer edge thereof, a third conductor piece that is continuously extended from the third flat conductor as a part of the third flat conductor and that is exposed from the third insulative coating;
wherein when the first plate-like routing member and the third plate-like routing member are laid on each other, the first conductor piece and the third conductor piece are spaced from each other and are located close to each other.
4. The conductor connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the one longer edge is one of both side edge portions of the first plate-like routing member in a direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the first plate-like routing member.
5. The conductor connection structure according to claim 1 , wherein the one shorter edge is one of both side edge portions of the second plate-like routing member in an extending direction of the second plate-like routing member.
