Ribbon electrical transmission cable with woven shielding
First Claim
1. A woven shielded cable comprising:
- a plurality of conductor wires extending longitudinally of said cable;
a plurality of spacer cords extending longitudinally of said cable;
a woven outer cover formed from metal containing warp and weft yarns, said warp yarns extending longitudinally of said cable, said weft yarns extending transversely of said cable and weaving over and under said warp yarns, said conductor wires and said spacer cords to shield said conductor wires;
a set of binder yarns extending longitudinally of said cable, said binder yarns weaving with said weft yarns on opposite sides of said conductor wires and said spacer cords to positively lock said warp yarns, said spacer cords and said conductor wires in position relative to each other.

Abstract
A woven shielded cable in which a plurality of conductor wires and a plurality of spacer cords are alternately arranged to extend longitudinally of the cable. A woven outer cover is formed from metalized warp and weft yarns, to encapsulate the conductor and spacer cords to form a shield therefor. A set of binder yarns weave with the weft yarns on opposite side of the conductor wires and spacer cords to positively lock the warp yarns, the spacer cords and the conductor wires in position relative to each other. The cable may be formed with a hinge arranged longitudinally along an intermediate point. In this instance the warp yarns are divided into two groups which weave on opposed sides of the hinge and on opposite surfaces of the opposite sides. The conductor wires are stacked and shielded from each other when the cable is folded along the hinge.

20. A woven shielded cable formed for use with an air craft fuselage wherein size and weight are prime considerations, said shielded cable comprising;
-
a first and second group of conductor wires extending longitudinally of said cable; a plurality of spacer cords extending longitudinally of said cable and arranged to separate said conductor wires; a woven outer cover formed of metalized yarns arranged on one side of said first group of conductor wires and on an opposite side of said second group of conductor wires providing a shield for approximately half each said one and opposite sides of said cable; a hinge arranged longitudinally of said cable, said hinge separating said first group of conductor wires from said second group of conductor wires;
whereby,said shielded cable may be folded along said hinge to position said conductor wires in stacked relationship and to provide a shield which completely encases one of said first and second groups of conductor wires and to produce a cable of reduced width and weight. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
