| 20120024576 | BUNDLED FLEXIBLE CIRCUIT BOARD BASED FLAT CABLE WITH WATER RESISTANT SECTION - A flat cable includes an enclosure sleeve that encloses a selected section of a cluster section of a flexible substrate. The enclosure sleeve has opposite ends respectively coupled to a first water resistant member and a second water resistant member. Each of the water resistant members includes a base forming a hollow channel and an insertion end extending from the base. The insertion end is fit to an inside wall or an outside wall of an end of the enclosure sleeve. The first water resistant member, the second water resistant member, and the enclosure sleeve are combined together to form a water resistant section arranged at a selected section of the flexible substrate. When the flexible substrate is subjected to a stretching force in an extension direction of the flexible substrate or a torque applied in a rotation direction thereof, the flexible substrate is allowed to undergo relative displacement with respect to the first water resistant member, the second water resistant member, and the enclosure sleeve. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20120018196 | FLEXIBLE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD WITH WATERPROOF STRUCTURE - Disclosed is a flexible printed circuit board with waterproof structure, including a flexible substrate that has a first surface on which a first metal layer is bonded. The first metal layer has an upper surface forming a covered area and at least one mounting zone and the metal layer forms on a surface thereof within the mounting zone a bonding improved waterproof structure. A first insulation layer is formed on the covered area of the upper surface of the first metal layer in such a way not to cover the mounting zone of the first metal so as to expose the mounting zone. A water resistant member is securely mounted to the mounting zone of the first metal layer. The flexible substrate also has a second surface to which a second metal layer and a second insulation layer are mounted. The second metal layer also forms a mounting zone, which is not covered by the second insulation layer so as to expose for mounting the water resistant member. The metal surface inside the mounting zone also forms bonding improved waterproof structure. The waterproof structure improves the bonding strength between the flexible printed circuit board and the water resistant member through proper arrangement and selection of shape, size, and distribution density of holes that are defined in the exposed metal surface. Alternatively, the holes can be made completely through the metal layer in order to also feature control of impedance for high frequency signals. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110266050 | CABLE BUNDLING STRUCTURE IN SLIDABLE ENGAGEMENT WITH CABLE - A cable bundling structure is provided for being set in slidable engagement with a target cable. The cable bundling structure includes a helical wrap member, which wraps around a wrapped section of the target cable. The helical wrap member is selectively composed of one or more sections of wrapping turns and each section is made in a one-piece form having a predetermined wrap width, a predetermined helix angle, and a predetermined wrap diameter and extending a predetermined length in a wrapping direction. The helical wrap member helically wraps around the target cable in such a way that the helical wrap member is in slidable engagement with the target cable and serves as an external protection for the cable. The helical wrap member can be made of an insulation material or an electromagnetic shielding material, whereby besides structural protection of the cable for improving resistance against bending, the external protection formed by the helical wrap member also provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). | 11-03-2011 |
