Abstract
A cable includes a guide element and a signal line. The guide element extends flatly on a guide plane, and the signal line is guided along a winding path on the guide plane by the guide element. The signal line has multiple bends on the guide plane. In particular, the cable is suitable for use under high stretching loads by virtue of the winding course of the signal line. The cable is simultaneously particularly space-saving in that the line is guided solely within the guide plane. A method for producing the cable is also provided.
Claims25
A cable, comprising:
- a guide element extended within a guide level in a flat manner;
- and
- a signal line disposed in said guide element at said guide level, said signal line being led along a winding path by said guide element and said signal line having a plurality of bends within said guide level;
- said guide element having a guide contour determining a course of said winding path at which said signal line is led and providing a forced guidance for said signal line;
- and
- said guide element having a plurality of molded parts forming said guide contour.
A method for manufacturing a cable, the method comprising the following steps:
- using a flat guide element to define a guide level;
- using the guide element to guide the signal line along a winding path in the guide element;
- and
- providing the signal line with a plurality of bends within the guide level;
- providing the guide element with a guide contour determining a course of the winding path along which the signal line is guided and providing a forced guidance for the signal line;
- and
- providing the guide element with a plurality of molded parts forming the guide contour.
