Abstract
The present invention relates to a hermetic structure having a flat cable. Liquid rubber is charged into a gap to be sealed, the charged liquid rubber is subjected to a physical action at the normal temperature and under the normal pressure, and the liquid rubber is cured to form a seal. By forming the seal in this manner, the limitation of heat resistance and pressure resistance is moderated, the flexibility of selection of materials for various constituent members is enhanced, and the structure is simplified.

A method for making a seal for sealing a gap between a flat cable and an insertion hole through which the flat cable is inserted comprising the steps of:
- inserting the flat cable into the insertion hole;
- charging a liquid rubber into the gap between the flat cable and the insertion hole;
- and
- curing the liquid rubber at a normal temperature and under a normal pressure.
A method for forming a seal member integrally provided with a flat cable comprising the steps of:
- setting the flat cable in a flat cable mounting section of a forming die;
- charging a liquid rubber into a cavity in the forming die;
- and
- curing the liquid rubber at a normal temperature and under a normal pressure.
A method for making a seal for charging into an opening through which a flat cable is pulled out comprising the steps of:
- inserting the flat cable from the opening;
- charging a liquid rubber into the opening;
- and
- curing the liquid rubber at a normal temperature and under a normal pressure.
