Problems solved by technology

In the process, for an adequate level of protection against ingress of solid objects (including body parts, e.g. hands and fingers), dust, water and accidental contact, to meet the requirements of, for example, the IP (International Protection) class specified in the DIN EN60529 standard, is more difficult
[0005] In various applications, the connectors can be very inconvenient to use and, in the case of applications such as LED light sources, there may be a risk of damaging the lighting module by removing the connectors

Embodiment Construction

[0021] The following description illustrates various specific details to provide a better understanding of the embodiments. One or more of the specific details may not be employed, or other methods, components, materials, etc. may be used in the manufacture of the described embodiments. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the embodiments.

[0022] The "one embodiment" mentioned in this specification is used to indicate that the specific configuration, structure or feature of this embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Thus, phrases such as "in one embodiment," which may appear in various parts of this specification, are not necessarily referring to the same embodiment. In addition, in one or more embodiments, certain constituents, structures or characteristics may be combined together in an appropriate manner.

[0023] References used herein are for convenience only...

Abstract

What is described is a method of producing flexible electrical cords (K) which are cut to length, the method being applied by using a flexible strip (14) having a plurality of electrically conductive lines (12) extending along the strip (14). Along the flexible strip (14) there are arranged electrical connectors (10) including a plurality of tubular conductors (22) each of which extends in a bridge-like manner between two subsequent portions of one of the conductive lines (12) of said plurality. A portion of given length is separated from the flexible strip (14) by cutting one of the aforesaid connectors (10) in a transverse plane (T) in such a way that the tubular conductors (22) located therein are cut. The portion separated in this way forms a flexible electrical cord (K) having, at one end at least, a plurality of electrical connection holes or sockets (100) exposed as a result of the cutting of the tubular conductors (22).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the manufacture of flexible electrical wires. [0002] Various embodiments may relate to the fabrication of flexible wires that may be used in conjunction with, for example, LED light sources. Background technique [0003] Flexible electrical wires (sometimes referred to as "leather wires") with a protective coating are used in the art, to which electrical connections must be made at specific lengths. [0004] For this reason, it is often necessary to remove the protective coating and install the joint. In this process, for an adequate level of protection against ingress of solid objects (including body parts, e.g. hands and fingers), dust, water and accidental contact, to meet the requirements of, for example, the IP (International Protection) class specified in the DIN EN60529 standard, is more difficult. [0005] In various applications, the connector can be very inconvenient to use and, in the case of application...
