Cable organization assemblies
Preferred assemblies are directed to a cable assembly that includes a first electrical wire and a second electrical wire; with a thermo-resistant material that is molded around the wires. Zipper teeth are molded to the thermo-resistant material of both of the wires. The zipper teeth on the first wire are releasably attached to the zipper teeth on the second wire, and at least one reinforcing fiber is encapsulated with one of the wires.
1. A cable assembly comprising:
a first electrical wire;
a second electrical wire; a thermo-resistant material that is molded around the first electrical wire and around the second electrical wire;
zipper teeth that are molded to the thermo-resistant material of the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire;
the zipper teeth molded to the first electrical wire being releasably attached to the zipper teeth molded to the second electrical wire; and
at least one reinforcing fiber, the at least one reinforcing fiber being encapsulated with at least one of the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire.
2. The cable assembly of claim 1 , wherein:
the zipper teeth are created by injection molding; and
the cable assembly is a headphone assembly and the first and second wires are configured to transmit audio sound from a jack to headphones.
3. The cable assembly of claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire comprise at least one of draw textured yarn and braided nylon.
4. The cable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the zipper-teeth are thermoplastic.
5. The cable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one reinforcement fiber comprises an aramid.
6. The cable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one reinforcement fiber comprises Kevlar.
7. The cable assembly of claim 2 , wherein the cable assembly can withstand up to 15 kg of torque from the jack to the headphones.
8. The cable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cable assembly further includes a stop to help stop a zipper slider from sliding off the bottom of the zipper teeth, wherein the stop is attached to the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire.
9. A method of making a cable assembly comprising:
providing a first electrical wire and a second electrical wire that are individually encapsulated by injection molding, an outer layer comprising a thermo-resistant material outside the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire;
an affixing apparatus for releasable attachment on the outer layers of the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire, such that the outer layers can releasably attach with one another; and
one or more reinforcement fibers positioned within the injection molding individually encapsulating the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the cable assembly is a headphone assembly and the first and second wires are configured to transmit audio sound from a jack to headphones.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the thermo-resistant material comprises at least one of draw textured yarn and braided nylon.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the cable assembly can withstand up to 15 kg of torque from the jack to the headphones.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein a volume control is attached to at least one of the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the affixing apparatus comprises a thermoplastic zipper.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein a stop used to stop a zipper slider from sliding off the bottom of the zipper, wherein the stop is attached to both the first and second electrical wires.
16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first and second wires are individually encapsulated in an inner layer having thermo-resistant and elastomeric properties positioned underneath the outer layer.
17. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more reinforcement fibers comprise at least one of an aramid and Kevlar.
18. A cable assembly comprising:
a first electrical wire;
a second electrical wire;
a thermo-resistant material that is molded around the first electrical wire and around the second electrical wire;
zipper teeth that are molded to the thermo-resistant material of the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire;
the zipper teeth molded to the first electrical wire being releasably attached to the zipper teeth molded to the second electrical wire via a zipper slider;
at least two reinforcing fibers comprising a first reinforcing fiber and a second reinforcing fiber, the first reinforcing fiber being encapsulated with the first electrical wire, the second reinforcing fiber being encapsulated with the second electrical wire; and
a stop used to stop the zipper slider from sliding off a bottom of the zipper teeth, the stop being attached to the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire, wherein the cable assembly is a headphone assembly, and the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire are configured to transmit audio sound from a jack to headphones.
19. The cable assembly of claim 18 , further comprising a volume control attached to at least one of the first electrical wire and the second electrical wire.
