[0003] Patent Document No. 1: JP 2018 - 137 208 A OVERVIEW OF THE INVENTION TASKS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION

[0004] A wiring harness (wiring component) is mounted in various locations within a vehicle, such as on a dashboard, a door, or the roof. These wiring components are manufactured, for example, in a form that corresponds to a specific mounting position and specification, and therefore exhibit different design types. When wiring components are automatically assembled in a vehicle, it is desirable to be able to easily identify a predetermined wiring component among several others.

[0005] The invention is based on the objective of providing a technique that can easily determine a predetermined wiring component. MEANS OF SOLVING THE TASK

[0006] A wiring component according to the present disclosure is a wiring component comprising: several wire-like transmission elements; and a flat part on which the several wire-like transmission elements are fixed arranged side by side, wherein the flat part comprises a first flat part covering the several wire-like transmission elements on one side and a second flat part covering the several wire-like transmission elements on another side, a window area is provided in a section of the flat part along a longitudinal direction of the several wire-like transmission elements, the window area being provided on a side which, in a state in which the wiring component is folded, is directed towards an outside, and a section of the several wire-like transmission elements laid in the window area is identifiable. EFFECT OF INVENTION

[0007] According to the present disclosure, a predetermined wiring component can be determined in a simple manner. List of characters Fig. Figure 1 is a top view illustrating a cabling component according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. Figure 2 is a top view illustrating a wiring component 10 in a folded state. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view along a line III-III in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view along a line IV-IV in Fig. 1. FORMS OF EXECUTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] First, embodiments of the present disclosure are listed and described.

[0009] A wiring component according to the present disclosure is designed as follows.

[0010] (1) A wiring component comprises: several wire-like transmission elements; and a flat part to which the several wire-like transmission elements are fixed in a side-by-side arrangement, the flat part comprising a first flat part covering the several wire-like transmission elements on one side and a second flat part covering the several wire-like transmission elements on another side, a window area being provided in a section of the flat part along a longitudinal direction of the several wire-like transmission elements, the window area being provided on a side that, in a state where the wiring component is folded, faces an outside, and a section of the several wire-like transmission elements laid in the window area being identifiable. The section of the several wire-like transmission elements laid in the window area is identifiable.Thus, for example, a specific type of wiring component can be identified. In many cases, the wiring component is transported to a mounting position in a folded state and unfolded there. Again, the window area is provided on one side, which, when the wiring component is folded, faces the outside. Therefore, a predetermined wiring component can be easily identified in a folded state at the mounting position.

[0011] (2) The multiple wire-like transmission elements may be arranged in a form comprising a main conductor section and a branch conductor section. The flat part may have a main conductor fixing section to which the main conductor section is fixed and a branch conductor fixing section to which the branch conductor section is fixed. The window area may be provided in the branch conductor fixing section. Using the window area, the branch conductor section can be determined in addition to determining the wiring component.

[0012] (3) The branch line section may comprise a first branch line section and a second branch line section; the window area may comprise a first window area provided at a position corresponding to the first branch line section and a second window area provided at a position corresponding to the second branch line section; and the appearance of the multiple wire-like transmission elements in the first window area and their appearance in the second window area may differ from one another. Accordingly, the multiple branch line sections may also be identified using the window area.

[0013] (4) The window area can be provided in a position that is exposed to the outside when the wiring component is folded. This prevents folded sections from overlapping and obscuring the window area.

[0014] (5) The flat part may also include a transparent flat part that covers the window area. Accordingly, the flat part is also provided in the window area. EXAMPLES OF EXECUTION

[0015] With reference to the drawings, specific examples of a wiring component of the present disclosure are described below. The present invention is not limited to these examples, but is specified by the claims, and it is intended that equivalent meanings and all variations within the scope of the claims are included. Examples of implementation

[0016] The following describes a wiring component according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. Figure 1 is a top view illustrating a cabling component 10 according to the embodiment. Fig. Figure 2 is a top view illustrating a wiring component 10 in a folded state. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view along a line III-II in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view along a line IV-IV in Fig. 1.

[0017] The cabling component 10 has several wire-like transmission elements 20 and a flat part 30. The several wire-like transmission elements 20 are arranged in a configuration that includes a main line section 24 and a branch line section 26.

[0018] The respective wire-like transmission element 20 can, for example, be a wire-like element that transmits electrical energy or light. The respective wire-like transmission element 20 can, for example, be an ordinary cable with a conductor 21 and a sheath 22 around the conductor 21, or also a bare conductive wire, a shielded cable, a lacquered wire, a nickel-chromium wire, or an optical fiber cable.

[0019] The respective electrical energy-transmitting wire-like transmission element 20 can be a signal line of various types or a power supply line of various types. The respective electrical energy-transmitting wire-like transmission element 20 can, for example, be used as an antenna or coil that transmits a signal or electrical energy to or from a location.

[0020] The respective wire-like transmission element 20 has a transmission conductor body that transmits electrical energy or light, and a sheath for enclosing the transmission conductor body. If the respective wire-like transmission element 20 is an ordinary line, the transmission conductor body is a conductor 21 and the sheath is an insulating sheath 22. The conductor 21 can be formed from several individual wires. The several individual wires can be stranded. In the Fig. In the 3 illustrated example, several wire-like transmission elements 20 with the same diameter and structure are arranged on a flat part 30; however, it is sufficient that the diameter and structure of the several wire-like transmission elements 20 are suitably configured; therefore, for example, wire-like transmission elements 20 with different diameters and different structures can be arranged on the same flat part 30.

[0021] The respective wire-like transmission element 20 can be a single wire-like object or a composite object made up of several wire-like objects (a twisted line or a cable formed by several wire-like objects enclosed by a sheath). Depending on the type of connection between the respective wire-like transmission element 20 and a counterpart, a terminal and a connector C are suitably provided at an end section of the wire-like transmission element 20.

[0022] The multiple wire-like transmission elements 20 are arranged in such a way that they have a configuration comprising a main line section 24 and a branch line section 26. In this case, two branch line sections 26 are provided. In some instances, for the sake of distinction, the two branch line sections 26 are referred to below as the first branch line section 26A and the second branch line section 26B.

[0023] The first branch line section 26A branches off from one side section of the main line section 24, and the second branch line section 26B branches off from the other side section of the main line section 24. The first branch line section 26A and the second branch line section 26B branch off from different positions along the length of the main line section 24. The lengths of the first branch line section 26A and the second branch line section 26B are perpendicular to the length of the main line section 24. It is understood that the route of the main line section 24 and the branch line section 26 is not limited to what has been described above. For example, a single branch line section 26 may be provided, or three or more branch line sections 26 may be provided. For example, two branch line sections 26 may branch off from one side section of the main line section 24.For example, two branch line sections 26 can branch off at the same position along the length of the main line section 24. The length of the branch line section 26 can also be neither parallel nor perpendicular to the length of the main line section 24. That is, the length of the branch line section 26 can intersect the length of the main line section 24 at an angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

[0024] In the Fig. In the illustrated example 1, seven wire-like transmission elements 20 are arranged on the flat section 30. The seven wire-like transmission elements 20 are each arranged along a predetermined route. In some cases, the seven wire-like transmission elements 20 are referred to below as wire-like transmission element 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D, 20E, 20F, and 20G, respectively, for the sake of differentiation. Specifically, wire-like transmission elements 20A and 20B are laid out such that they only form the main line section 24 on the flat section 30. The wire-like

[0025] Transmission elements 20C and 20D are arranged such that one part of them forms the main line section 24 and the other part forms the first branch line section 26A on the flat section 30. The wire-like transmission elements 20E and 20F are arranged such that one part of them forms the main line section 24 and the other part forms the second branch line section 26B on the flat section 30. The wire-like transmission element 20G is arranged such that one intermediate section forms the main line section 24, one end section forms the first branch line section 26A, and the other end section forms the second branch line section 26B on the flat section 30.

[0026] The wire-like transmission elements 20 are fixed to the flat part 30. The flat part 30 holds the wire-like transmission elements 20 in a wired or installed state. In this case, the flat part 30 has a first flat part 31 and a second flat part 32. The first flat part 31 covers one side of the wire-like transmission elements 20. The second flat part 32 covers the other side (one side opposite the first flat part 31) of the wire-like transmission elements 20. An intermediate section of the wire-like transmission elements 20 is enclosed by the first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32. Thus, exposure of the intermediate section of the wire-like transmission elements 20 is prevented.

[0027] In this case, the wire-like transmission elements 20 are fixed to the first flat part 31, but not to the second flat part 32. The method of fixing the wire-like transmission elements 20 and the first flat part 31 is not specifically restricted; gluing or welding can also be used. Gluing means that two elements are bonded together via an intermediate element such as an adhesive or double-sided tape. Welding means that plastic contained in at least one of the two elements is melted and the two elements are welded together without the use of an intermediate element.In this case, plastic contained in the sheathing 22 of the wire-like transmission elements 20 and / or plastic contained in the first flat part 31 is melted and bonded to the counterpart, thereby fixing the wire-like transmission elements 20 and the first flat part 31 to each other.

[0028] The materials forming the first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32 are not specifically restricted; for example, the first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32 can be made of materials containing plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), or nylon. The first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32 can be made of a fibrous material, such as a nonwoven, woven, or knitted fabric, or of a non-fibrous material. The non-fibrous material can be a solid element with a uniformly filled interior or a foam made of molded plastic. The first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32 can also contain a material such as metal.

[0029] The first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32 can be formed from a single layer or from several stacked layers. If the first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32 are formed from several stacked layers, it is considered that, for example, a plastic layer and a plastic layer are stacked together. It is also considered that, for example, a plastic layer and a metal layer are stacked together. The first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32 can be formed from an overlapping non-fiber layer and a non-fiber layer, an overlapping non-fiber layer and a fiber layer, or an overlapping fiber layer and a fiber layer.

[0030] The first flat part 31, for example, has a double-layer structure. A first layer in the first flat part 31 is a layer suitable for fixing to the wire-like transmission elements 20. For example, the first layer is designed as a solid element with a uniformly filled interior made of the same material as the sheathing 22 of the wire-like transmission elements 20. The wire-like transmission elements 20 are fixed to the first layer. The second layer is a layer that enhances a function of the flat part 31. The second layer is, for example, a nonwoven fabric. The first layer can be provided completely or partially on the second layer. For example, the first layer can be provided only in a section of the second layer that is central in the width direction (transverse direction of the wire-like transmission elements 20) and need not be provided in a side edge section.The first layer can, for example, be provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the second layer (the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission elements 20).

[0031] The second flat part 32, for example, has a single-layer structure. The second flat part 32 has a higher stiffness than the first flat part 31. The second flat part 32 is, for example, an element with a uniformly filled interior made of nylon. The wire-like transmission elements 20 are not fixed to the second flat part 32. An edge section of the second flat part 32 is fixed to the first flat part 31. The method of fixing the first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32 is not specifically restricted; welding or bonding can also be used. The second flat part 32 can be fixed to the first layer or the second layer of the first flat part 31.

[0032] The flat section 30 has a main conductor fixing section 34 and a branch conductor fixing section 36. The main conductor fixing section 34 is a section in which the main conductor section 24 is fixed. The branch conductor fixing section 36 is a section in which the branch conductor section 26 is fixed. The branch conductor fixing section 36 branches off from the main conductor fixing section 34. That is, the branch conductor fixing section 36 is connected to the main conductor fixing section 34. In this case, the branch conductor fixing section 36 branches off from a longitudinally central section of the main conductor fixing section 34. The branch conductor fixing section 36 has a first branch conductor fixing section 36A and a second branch conductor fixing section 36B. The first branch conductor fixing section 36A is a section in which the first branch conductor section 26A is fixed.The second branch line fixing section 36B is a section in which the second branch line section 26B is fixed.

[0033] The wiring component 10 is provided with a bending simplification section 12. The bending simplification section 12 is located in the area where the flat part 30 is situated. The bending simplification section 12 is a section in which the second flat part 32 is provided at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission elements 20. That is, the bending simplification section 12 is a section along the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission elements 20 in which the second flat part 32 is not located. The embodiment described above includes the second flat part 32, but the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the stiffness of the second flat part 32 at a position corresponding to the bending simplification section 12 may be lower than that of the second flat part 32 in an area outside the bending simplification section 12.This means that the bending simplification section can be designed in a shape that allows the second flat part 32 to be partially bent easily. An accordion-like shape is also applicable as a shape that allows the second flat part 32 to be easily bent (or folded). The accordion-like section is a section designed in an accordion-like shape in which peaks and valleys are arranged alternately along the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission elements 20. When a terminal-side section is bent at a position of the bending simplification section 12, the wiring component 10 is folded.

[0034] An example of the bending simplification section 12 is described above; however, the bending simplification section 12 can also have a shape that is easily partially bendable, such as a fold line (not shown); its shape is therefore not specifically limited. For example, a shape is also applicable in which a slot (not shown) is provided not in the second flat part 32, but in the first flat part 31 to form the bending simplification section 12.

[0035] The wiring component 10 is equipped with a vacuum suction position. In the Fig. In the illustrated example 1, area A, represented by a dash-dot-dot line, represents the vacuum suction position. In the example shown in Fig.In the illustrated example 1, two vacuum suction positions are provided. Each vacuum suction position is located where the wiring component 10, when vacuum-suspended and lifted at that position, will hardly tilt and can be kept in balance. The number of vacuum suction positions in a wiring component 10 is not limited to two. For example, if the wiring component 10 is relatively small, a single vacuum suction position may be provided. If the wiring component 10 is relatively large, three or more vacuum suction positions may be provided. In particular, if the wiring component 10 is folded, the vacuum suction position may be provided at a location that is exposed when the wiring component 10 is folded.For the sake of simplicity, vacuum suction is described as the intake design; however, it is obvious that the intake design is not limited to vacuum suction. It is sufficient that a negative pressure is applied that is large enough to draw in and lift the wiring component 10.

[0036] The wiring component 10 is provided with a window area 14. When the wiring component 10 is viewed from the outside, a section of the multiple wire-like transmission elements 20 routed in the window area 14 can be identified. The method for identifying the section of the multiple wire-like transmission elements 20 routed in the window area 14 is not specifically restricted. For example, the section can be identified by an identification device or an operator based on a captured image taken by an imaging device. The section can also be identified, for example, by visual recognition of the section by an operator. The window area 14 is provided in a section of the flat part 30 along the longitudinal direction of the multiple wire-like transmission elements 20.

[0037] The position of the window area 14 along the longitudinal direction of the multiple wire-like transmission elements 20 is not specifically restricted. For example, the window area 14 can also be provided at a position where the wire-like transmission elements 20 can be exposed without difficulty. For instance, a first protection zone and a second protection zone are provided in a section of the cabling component 10 in which the flat part 30 is located. The second protection zone is a position that requires better protection than the first protection zone. A position requiring better protection is, for example, a position where an element in the environment can easily interfere with the cabling component 10, or a position that is significantly affected by heat. It is specifically intended that the window area 14 is provided not in the second protection zone, but in the first protection zone.A transparent flat part 33 is provided in the window area 14 to protect the wire-like transmission elements 20. However, if the need for protection of the wire-like transmission elements 20 is minimal, the transparent flat part 33 can also be omitted.

[0038] Window area 14 is provided in branch line fixing section 36. Window area 14 has a first window area 14A and a second window area 14B. The first window area 14A is provided at a position corresponding to the first branch line section 26A. The first window area 14A is provided in the first branch line fixing section 36A. The second window area 14B is provided at a position corresponding to the second branch line section 26B. The second window area 14B is provided in the second branch line fixing section 36B.

[0039] The window area 14 is provided on a side that, in a folded state, faces an outside. In this case, the wiring component 10 is folded inwards along with the second flat part 32. The window area 14 is then positioned closer to the connection-side section relative to a bending position in the wiring component 10. Thus, on the connection-side section relative to the bending position, the window area 14 is positioned closer to an outside-facing side of the first flat part 31. It is self-evident that the window area can also be provided in the second flat part 32. The following description assumes an embodiment in which the window area 14 is provided in the first flat part 31.The following embodiment of the window area 14 can also be suitablely applied to a case in which the window area is provided in the second flat part 32, as long as this does not contradict the embodiments.

[0040] Window area 14 is a section in which a portion of the first flat part 31 is partially missing (not present) in the longitudinal direction. In this case, window area 14 is located in a section of the first flat part 31 that is central in the width direction. A continuous opening in the thickness direction is formed in a section of the first flat part 31 that corresponds to window area 14. The first flat part 31 is located adjacent to window area 14 in the width direction. The respective section adjacent to window area 14 in the width direction of the first flat part 31 is fixed to the second flat part 32.

[0041] However, the window area 14 can also be provided such that it extends in the width direction of the first flat part 31 to one end section or to both end sections. In the latter case, the first flat part 31 is completely divided by the window area 14. That is, the first flat part 31 is provided at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission elements 20, and the section between the first flat part 31 forms the window area.

[0042] If the window area 14 is provided in a section in the width direction of the first flat part 31, it is sufficient that a width dimension of the window area 14 and its position along the width direction are configured such that at least one section of the wire-like transmission elements 20 can be identified. The width dimension of the window area 14 and its position along the width direction can also be configured such that all wire-like transmission elements 20 forming the branch line section 26 in which the window area 14 is formed can be identified.

[0043] The window area 14 is formed, for example, by cutting off a section of the uniformly extending flat part 31 that corresponds to the window area 14. The first flat part 31 can be cut off either before or after the fixing process of the wire-like transfer elements 20. In the latter case, it is sufficient that the wire-like transfer elements 20 are not fixed to the section of the first flat part 31 that is cut off.

[0044] Window area 14 is provided at a position that is exposed to the outside when the wiring component 10 is folded. The position exposed to the outside when the wiring component 10 is folded indicates an outward-facing position within the wiring component 10, and the folded connection-side section does not overlap with it. In this case, window area 14 is provided closer to the connection side relative to the bending position and is therefore provided at the position exposed to the outside when the wiring component 10 is folded.

[0045] The flat part 30 also includes the transparent flat part 33. The transparent flat part 33 covers the window area 14. In this case, the first flat part 31 is not provided in the window area 14. Therefore, the transparent flat part 33 covers the window area 14 instead of the first flat part 31. The transparent flat part 33 can be located on an outer or an inner side of the first flat part 31.

[0046] The transparent flat part 33 can be fixed to the first flat part 31, the wire-like transmission elements 20, or the second flat part 32. The method of fixing the transparent flat part 33 to the respective fixing point is not specifically restricted; gluing or welding can also be used. The transparent flat part 33 can be larger than the window area 14, and a circumferential edge section of the outer side of the window area 14 can be fixed to the fixing point.

[0047] The thickness of the transparent flat part 33 is not specifically limited. The thickness of the transparent flat part 33 can be equal to, greater than, or less than that of the first flat part 31. The thickness of the transparent flat part 33 can be equal to, greater than, or less than that of the second flat part 32.

[0048] The colors of the first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32 are not specifically restricted. The first flat part 31 or the second flat part 32, namely the one that partitions the window area 14 (in this case, the first flat part 31), may have a different color than the wire-like transmission elements 20. The first flat part 31 or the second flat part 32, namely the one that serves as the background of the window area 14 (in this case, the second flat part 32), may have a different color than the wire-like transmission elements 20. The color of the first flat part 31 and the color of the second flat part 32 may be the same or different. The first flat part 31 and the second flat part 32 may have a lower transparency than the transparent flat part 33. The color of the transparent flat part 33 is not specifically restricted; a colorless transparent flat part 33 may also be used.

[0049] The window area 14 can be located near a base position (hereinafter referred to as the reference position) when a robot installs the wiring component 10 in its folded state in a vehicle. Accordingly, the robot can easily detect both the window area 14 and the reference position.

[0050] The reference position can be a holding position where the robot holds the wiring component 10 in its folded state, such as the vacuum suction position described above. In addition to the vacuum suction position, a gripping position is also considered as a position where the robot holds the wiring component 10 in its folded state. The gripping position is a position where the robot grasps the wiring component 10 in its folded state. The holding position can be provided with a structure suitable for the robot to hold the wiring component 10. Furthermore, the structure in the wiring component 10 can have a distinctive appearance.

[0051] Examples of the reference position, in addition to the holding position, include a vehicle fixing position where the wiring component 10 is fixed to the vehicle in its folded state. The vehicle fixing position can be equipped with a fixing structure. For example, it is considered that a fixing element is provided which has a shape by virtue of which the wiring component 10 can be fixed to the vehicle in its folded state, or that a receiving section is provided at the vehicle fixing position to which a fixing element is attached on the vehicle side.

[0052] When the wiring component 10 is folded, the window area 14 can be located in a position that is now closer to the reference position than in the state before the wiring component 10 was folded (the unfolded state). In this case, the window area 14 is located closer to the connection side relative to the bending position, and the connection-side section is positioned closer to the holding position relative to the bending position than the reference position. Thus, the window area 14 is positioned closer to the reference position than in the state before the wiring component 10 was folded.

[0053] For example, if the wire-like transmission elements 20 laid in the window area 14 are identified, a type of cabling component 10 is identified. The identification mode is not specifically limited; for example, the size of the window area 14, the area within the window area 14 (the area of ​​the wire-like transmission elements 20), the color of the wire-like transmission elements 20 laid in the window area 14 (the color of the respective sheathing 22), the position of the window area 14 (the distance from the connector C), and other factors can be used to identify the type of cabling component.That is, for the several types of cabling component 10, the size of the window area 14 is different, the area in the window area 14 is different, the color of the wire-like transmission elements 20 laid in the window area 14 is different, and the position of the window area 14 is different, and thus, for example, the type of cabling component can be identified.

[0054] Furthermore, the multiple branch line sections 26 are also identified by the window area 14 in the cabling component 10. In this case, several identification modes can be applied when identifying the window area 14, such as identifying the size of the window area 14, the area within the window area 14 (the area of ​​the wire-like transmission elements 20), the color of the wire-like transmission elements 20 laid in the window area 14 (the color of the respective sheathing 22), and the position of the window area 14 (the distance from the connector C). That is, for example, the identification mode used to identify the type of cabling component 10 and the identification mode used to identify the multiple branch line sections 26 can be different.

[0055] Specifically, a first identification mode is established for a wiring component 10 for the first window area 14A and the second window area 14B. This first identification mode is used to identify one wiring component 10 and the other. Accordingly, the first window area 14A and the second window area 14B are designed such that they have the same appearance with respect to the first identification mode. For example, in one wiring component 10, the color of the wire-like transmission elements 20 in the first window area 14A is the same as in the second window area 14B. This color differs from that of the wire-like transmission elements of the other wiring component in the window area. Therefore, one wiring component 10 and the other wiring component can be identified.In one cabling component 10, a second identification mode is provided for the first window area 14A and the second window area 14B. This second identification mode is used to identify the first branch line section 26A and the second branch line section 26B. Accordingly, the first window area 14A and the second window area 14B are designed such that they have different appearances with respect to the second identification mode. For example, the surface area of ​​the wire-like transmission elements 20 in the first window area 14A differs from that in the second window area 14B. Therefore, the first branch line section 26A and the second branch line section 26B can be identified in one cabling component 10. Effect etc. of the exemplary implementations

[0056] According to the wiring component 10 with the aforementioned configuration, the section of the multiple wire-like transmission elements 20 that is laid in the window area 14 can be identified. Thus, for example, the type of the wiring component 10 can be identified. In many cases, the wiring component 10 is transported to a mounting position in a folded state and unfolded at the mounting position. In this case as well, the window area 14 is provided on one side, which, in the folded state of the wiring component 10, faces an outside. Thus, a predetermined wiring component 10 in a folded state can be easily determined at the mounting position.

[0057] Window area 14 is provided in branch line section 26. Therefore, in addition to determining the cabling component 10, branch line section 26 can also be determined using window area 14.

[0058] The appearance of the multiple wire-like transmission elements 20 in the first window area 14A and their appearance in the second window area 14B are different. Thus, the first branch line section 26A and the second branch line section 26B can be identified.

[0059] Window area 14 is positioned so that it is exposed to the outside when folded. This prevents folded sections from overlapping and obscuring window area 14.

[0060] The transparent flat part 33 covers the window area 14. Thus, the flat part 30 can also be provided in the window area 14. Variation example

[0061] Window area 14 does not need to be provided in branch line section 26. Window area 14 can be provided in main line section 24. The multiple wire-like transmission elements 20 do not need to be laid out in a configuration that includes main line section 24 and branch line section 26.

[0062] If multiple branch line sections 26 are provided, the window area 14 may be provided in only some of the multiple branch line sections 26 or in only a single branch line section 26. If window areas 14 are provided in multiple branch line sections 26, their appearances need not differ. For example, if the type of the cabling component 10 is to be determined by identifying one of the multiple window areas 14, the multiple window areas 14 may have the same appearance.

[0063] All embodiments described in the exemplary embodiment and the examples of modifications can be freely combined, as long as they are not incompatible with each other.
