Structure for waterproofing an end portion of a cable
First Claim
1. Apparatus for sealing an insulated wire in a body, said body having an inner surface defining a hole through which said insulated wire passes, said insulated wire having an inner and an outer protective sheath, said apparatus comprising a peripheral seal for extending between said outer sheath and said inner surface of said body, and a resilient tubular member having an outer surface shaped for corresponding to the shape of the hole, the tubular member for being provided between said inner and outer sheaths to bias the outer sheath outwardly against said peripheral seal in use.

Abstract
An electric wire 10 is provided with a shielding layer 12 inside an outer sheath 11, three insulated wires 13 being provided therein. A correcting ring 46 is inserted between the outer sheath 11 and the shielding layer 12 of the electric wire 10, correcting the outer sheath 11 into a circular shape. A waterproofing ring 39 is attached tightly to an outer peripheral face of the outer sheath 11. In this way, even in the case where the shape of the outer sheath 11 of the electric wire 10 provided with a plurality of insulated wire cores 13 tends to be unstable, the electric wire 10 can be maintained in a specified shape by the correcting ring 46. Consequently the waterproofing ring 39 can fit stably and tightly to the outer peripheral face of the electric wire 10, thereby improving the waterproofing function.
