Provided is a wire harness sheet that can be stored in an overlapping manner without using release paper and can be wound in a spiral shape around an electric wire bundle. A wire harness sheet 11 includes a first self-adhesive layer 15 of a sheet base material 13, the first self-adhesive layer 15 being is formed on one surface of a first common region 27, and the other surface of the first common region 27 becoming a first adhesive layer unformed portion 29; and a second self-adhesive layer 17 that is formed on at least part of one surface of a second common region 31.

Electrical harnesses and methods of manufacturing electrical harnesses are disclosed. The electrical harnesses may comprise an electrically conductive wire, an electrical connector in electrical communication with the conductive wire, a metal clad fiber (MCF) braided shield surrounding a portion of the electrically conductive wire, and an overbraid surrounding a portion of the MCF braided shield, wherein the electrical connector comprises an integrated backshell. Methods of making electrical harnesses may comprise connecting an electrical connector with a conductive wire, disposing a metal clad fiber (MCF) braided shield to at least partially surround the conductive wire; and disposing an overbraid to at least partially surround the MCF braided shield, wherein the electrical connector comprises an integrated backshell.

A method for manufacturing a shielded wire harness, includes: wrapping a conductive sheet around a wire harness in a parallel state to the wire harness, the conductive sheet having a long belt shape along a longitudinal direction of the wire harness, and cutting the conductive sheet in matching with a desired electric wire length; allowing an adhesive surface formed on a back surface side of the protection tape to fix the conductive sheet to the wire harness by spirally winding a long protection tape around an outer circumference of the conductive sheet wrapped around the wire harness; and cutting the protection tape in matching with the desired electric wire length.

A method for producing a cable harness, in particular for the motor vehicle industry, includes combining a plurality of individual lines into a line bundle. The line bundle is provided with a bundling element. The bundling element is constructed as a textile-like fiber interlacement or weave which is produced by applying a suspension including fibers and a binder to the line bundle. A cable harness produced by the method is also provided.

A wire harness manufacturing method prevents inadvertent deformation of thermoplastic material and separation of thermoplastic material. A predetermined part of an electric wire 91 is accommodated in a through hole of a tubular body formed by connection between a first and second nest members (123, 124) of a nozzle (12), by integrally connecting first and second case body members (121, 122) of the nozzle (12), with the predetermined part of the electric wire 91 therebetween. An approximately tubular covering member (92) covering the predetermined part of the electric wire (91) is molded integrally with the thermoplastic material, by discharging thermoplastic material plasticized by a material plasticizing unit (11) from thermoplastic material discharge orifices (1213) and (1223) in the nozzle (12) to the outer periphery of the electric wire (91), while moving the electric wire (91) and the nozzle (12) relatively to each other.

The method for fitting a sheath on a cable harness includes a series of steps including determining the length of sheath to be used, mounting the sheath on a mounting tool of tubular shape, inserting the cable harness into the mounting tool, removing the mounting tool and arranging the sheath around the cable harness, fitting a sheath stop at one of the ends of the sheath, the sheath stop fastening the end of the sheath to the cable harness stretching the sheath over the cable harness so as to extend it and tension it, and fitting a sheath stop at the other one of the ends of the sheath.

A wire harness includes a main line, a branch line which is branched from an intermediate part of the main line, a self-adhesive sheet which holds and covers the main line and the branch line and is folded so that one pair of edge parts thereof extending along the main line are stuck to each other in a state the branch line is drawn out from the one pair of edge parts, and a temporarily fixing member which bundles the main line at a position outside of the intermediate part in an extending direction of the main line.

Hybrid fibers or filaments are extruded from a granulate mixture of bio-based polymers with petrochemical-based plastic polymers to form a textile substrate band and the band is then provided with an adhesive coating on at least one face of the substrate band to form an adhesive tape. This tape is then wound helically around a cable bundle to form a longitudinally extending wrap of the bundle and impart to the cable bundle an abrasion resistance of at least class C according to LV 319 (2009).

A binding tape member and a wire harness having a binding tape member configured to having the same function of conventional wire harnesses without the need for corrugated tube, pre-wrapping or post wrapping. The binding tape member has a tape member body that covers a group of electrical lines by being wrapped around the group of electrical lines. The tape body has a trapezoidal upper surface portion with an upper side and a lower side that correspond to the tape width end edges and a trapezoidal lower surface portion facing a direction opposite to the trapezoidal upper surface portion are alternatingly arranged in the tape length direction. Also, in a trapezoidal upper surface portion and a trapezoidal lower surface portion that are adjacent to each other, sides thereof in the tape length direction are connected to each other in an integrated manner by a rectangular side wall portion.
