US 8,975,514 B2 · Cable organization assemblies

Abstract

Cable assemblies include at least a first wire and a second wire. The wires are enclosed, using injection molding, by a respective layer of thermo-resistant material. During the injection molding, the first wire and second wire are kept substantially straight so as to avoid kinks in at least one of the first wire and the second wire that can develop subsequent to the molding if a wire is not substantially straight. The tension associated with the first wire and the second wire is kept within a predetermined range or below a predetermined threshold. The predetermined range/threshold depends on a temperature associated with the injection molding. The injection molding can provide a zip structure over the wires such that the zip structure can be zipped-together and zipped-apart to prevent entanglement of the wires when used by a user.

Dependent claims

A method of forming a cable assembly, the method comprising:

providing a first wire and a second wire that are enclosed by corresponding outer layers comprising a thermo-resistant material, the first wire and the second wire being configured to minimize noise associated with an audio signal transmitted through the first wire and the second wire;
and
releasably attaching the outer layers of the first wire and the second wire, such that the outer layers are capable of releasable attachment of the first wire with the second wire,
wherein manufacturing of the cable assembly comprises rotating zipper teeth on the first wire and the second wire from an outward position to an inward position such that distal ends of the zipper teeth point inward after the rotation, the rotation allowing zippering together of the zipper teeth and zipping apart of the zipped zipper teeth.
