Abstract
A flexible electrical elongated device is provided, suitable for service in a high mechanical load environment. The device has a longitudinal axis, and at least one elongated electrical conductor element. The device further has an elongated load bearing component along the longitudinal axis and has an external surface including at least one groove disposed along the longitudinal axis. The groove is designed for holding the conductor element within it while allowing the conductor element to move substantially radially when the device is bent.
Claims20
A flexible electrical elongated device, having a longitudinal axis (X) and suitable for service in a high mechanical load environment, said device comprising:
- at least one elongated electrical conductor element,
- an elongated load bearing component along said longitudinal axis and having an external surface including at least one groove disposed along said longitudinal axis,
- said groove configured to hold said conductor element within it and against the inside surface of said groove continuously along substantially the entire length of said device, while allowing said conductor element to move substantially radially when said device is bent.
