Definitions
- This invent-ion relates to flat or ribbon cable and more particularly, to a unique construction for ribbon cable which may be cut at predetermined lengths to produce cable segments with conductor portions automatically stripped of insulation.
- Ribbon cable originally came into existence as an outgrowth of printed circuitry.
- the original manufacturing technique involved the printing of parallel lines of copper upon thin rigid plastic sheets or strips. This technique eventually advanced to the sandwiching of flat conductor material, such as copper, silver, aluminum or the like, between continuous lengths of flexible tape.
- the tape generally consisted of an insulating plastic such as a polyester, a polyam ide, a polyhaloalkane or alkene.
- an object of this invention is to provide ribbon cable which is easy to install.
- a further object of this invention is to provide ribbon cable of the above character which, when cut in predetermined lengths or configurations, produces modular cable units of any desired shape or configuration having conductor portions stripped of insulation on one or both sides.
- a still further object of this invention is to provide ribbon cable of the above character which can be easily connected to electrical components or to other ribbon cable, even at points intermediate its ends.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a unique method of making ribbon cable having the aforementioned features.
- Another object is to provide ribbon cable of the above character having indexing means thereon which facilitates the automatic operation of appropriately designed cable shearing apparatus.
- a further object of the invention is to provide long continuous ribbon cable adapted for convenient shearing into predetermined modular lengths and configurations of ribbon cable units, each having conductive portions stripped of insulation and ready for connection when the shearing operation is completed.
- Another object of the invention is to provide ribbon cable of the above character having continuous and uninterrupted conductor-supporting portions of the insulating layers adjacent to the exposed portions of the conductors to provide continuous longitudinal support for the conductors.
- the invention accordingly comprises the several steps and the relation of one or more of such steps with respect to each of the others, and the article possessing the 'features, properties, and the relation of elements, which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
- FIGURE 1 is a fragmentary top view of a preferred embodiment of the ribbon cable of this invention.
- FIGURE 2 is a top view of three cut lengths as indicated by the dotted lines superimposed on the ribbon cable shown in FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 3 is a greatly enlarged transverse sectional view of one embodiment of the ribbon cable, taken along line 33 of FIGURE 1;
- FIGURE 4 is a similar sectional View of a modified embodiment of the invention similar to the embodiment shown in FIGURES 1-3;
- FIGURES 5 and 6 are fragmentary perspective views of a length of ribbon cable incorporating a modified embodiment of the invention, with FIGURE 5 being an exploded view showing this embodiment during the fabrication process, and FIGURE 6 showing the sameembodiment in its assembled condition following fabrication; and,
- FIGURES 7 and 8 are similar fragmentary perspective views showing another embodiment of the invention, with FIGURE 7 being an exploded view showing this embodiment during the fabrication process, and FIGURE 8 showing this embodiment in its assembled condition following fabrication.
- the ribbon assembly illustrated comprises a bonded sandwich construction having a top layer and a bottom layer of insulating tape, and an intermediate layer of one or more flat conductors sandwiched between the bonded top and bottom insulating layers. At least one layer of the insulating tape has been perforated or apertured at predetermind points across its width and length. The flat conductors span the perforations or apertures longitudinally.
- the novel ribbon cable of FIGURE 1 has a multiperforated ribbon appearance with a portion of a conductor exposed at each perforation.
- the arrangement of the perforations in the modular pattern shown or in other patterns also constitutes an important feature of this invention, as will presently be described in detail.
- an indexing strip or control tape 24 (FIGURES 1 and 2) into the body of or adjacent to one or both edges of the ribbon cable, automatic shearing or cutting can be effected by mechanically or electronically controlled shearing apparatus.
- the incorporated control tape governs the operation of the shearing mechanism.
- the ribbon cable of this invention includes an upper layer 11 and a lower layer 12 of insulating tape.
- the tape used should have a width appropriate to the number of flat conductors actually used. Its insulating characteristics should satisfy the needs to which the cable will be put. Generally a highly insulating plastic of a polyester, a polyamide, a polyalkane or similar polymeric material will be satisfactory. However, other insulating material such as rubber, fabric, asbestos, flexible mica and the like might also be used.
- the tape layers with the conductors therebetween are generally bonded together by heat sealing or by an adhesive.
- shielding layers, armor layers, heat resistant layers or other functioning layers may be superimposed upon the insulating tape, either before or after forming the ribbon cable.
- either the bottom or the top layer of tape or both, and any additional outer layers that may be superimposed thereon, are apertured or perforated at predetermined points or locations across the width and length of the tape. If both layers are perforated, the perforations may coincide if desired.
- the top and bottom insulating tapes incorporate coinciding aperture perforations 20, in alternate transverse columns of and 1.
- This modular pattern permits cutting or shearing, as indicated by the dotted lines 21 and 25 into cut lengths of ribbon cable having the stepped configurations shown in FIGURE 2. It should be particularly noted that the cut ribbon cable has insulation-bare ends. Thus, stripping is not necessary.
- continuous longitudinal conductor support is provided either by underlying portions of the insulating layer directly supporting the conductive strip, as shown in FIGURES 4-8, or by adjacent intervening webs spaced between individual aperture perforations in one or both of the insulating layers.
- the perforations are preferably rectangular in shape with the long axis in the longitudinal direction of the ribbon, permitting transverse severing along the short axes of the rectangles, such as the lines 21 of FIGURE 1, leaving pre-stripped exposed regions of the conductive elements of sufficient size for convenient connection purposes.
- Other aperture shapes such as round, oval or square are obviously also possible.
- the rectangular configuration has the greatest use and provides the most scrap-free, trim looking appearance.
- an indexing tape is incorporated into the ribbon structure.
- the indexing tape consists of two outer perforated edges 24, similar in appearance to the outer edges of motion picture film. The perforated edges, when passed over a sprocket wheel in a punch or shear press, actuate the press. Upon a predetermined number of turns of the sprocket wheel, the press automatically shears predetermined lengths and even widths of cable from the supply length.
- the indexing tape may be designed to operate an electronic-ally actuated punch or shear press.
- a ribbon cable assembly 32 is constructed of two fiat conduct-or strips 34 and 36 sandwiched be tween two bonded insulating layers 38 and 40.
- the aperture 20 is positioned at an intemediate point along the length of the cable 32.
- the adjacent fiat conductors 34 and 36 are positioned side by side on the face of the lower insulating layer 38.
- the upper insulating layer 40 comprising segments 40a and 40b separated by a transverse aperture 20, is shown ready to be lowered into its final position in the sandwiched ribbon cable of FIGURE 6. This completed cable affords convenient access to the plurality of conductors at the intermediate aperture 20, while the lower insulation layer 38 provides a substantial supporting substrate for the conductors across the width of the aperture 20.
- portions of the insulating layer flanking the transverse aperture 20 may be individually positioned and bonded in the assembled formshown in FIGURE 6.
- an unbonded segment of the upper in sulating layer 40 defined by the edges 21 may remain joining the segments 40:: and 40b in their original condition, with scorelines being formed along the edges 21.
- heat or adhesive is omitted over the segment between the edge scorelines 21, which is thus not bonded to the lower insulating layer 38 during fabrication.
- a ribbon cable assembly 43 is formed from an upper insulating layer 42 bonded to a lower insulating layer 44, with two conductor strips 48 and sandwiched .side-by-sid-e between the insulating layers 42 and 44.
- the upper insulating layer 42 is shorter than the lower insulating layer 44, leaving trans verse apertures in the form of stripped end regions 46 at both ends of the assembled ribbon cable segment 43 exposing the upper sides of both conductor strips 48 and 50 at both ends of this segment.
- the underlying insulating layer of the ribbon cable provides continuous and uninterrupted support for the conductive strips throughout the full length of the apertures in the upper insulating layers.
- This continuous support is particularly useful with extremely thin conductive coatings or layers, such as those formed by vacuum vapor deposition, selective etching, or similar techniques.
- the ribbon cables of FIGURES 4-8 may be separated transversely across these aperture perforations 20 or 46 to provide modular cab-1e segments of any predetermined shape, length, or configuration, as shown in FIGURE 2. If desired, however, the ribbon cables may be separated at points spaced away from the transverse apertures, as indicated in FIGURES 5 and 6, leaving one or more apertures spaced along the length of the segment for intermediate terminal connection purposes.
- the apertures passing through only one insulating layer thus provide a novel and economical solution to the major problem of stripping one insulated side of ribbon cable conductors, as required for connection to many types of terminal connectors, for example.
- the particular ribbon cable structure shown in the drawings accomplishes all of the objects enumerated above.
- the unique structures shown permit the cutting of a supply roll of ribbon cable into cut predetermined lengths and widths, with conductor regions free of insulation and ready for connection to other elements. If an indexing tape means 24 has been incorporated into the supply length of ribbon cable, the cutting can be accomplished automatically. No tedious stripping of the ends need be performed. Faulty connections and conduction losses caused by incomplete stripping no longer present a problem.
- these prestripped and severed modular cable units may be employed with very thin ribbon cables incorporating extremely thin conductor elements.
- the techniques of this invention thus provide a unique new way of fabricating ribbon cable segments of any desired length, shape and configuration, automatically prestripped of insulation and ready for connection to other electrical components.
