Patent attributes
A wiring harness for coupling electronic components includes a hollow trunk sleeve and a hollow branch sleeve. The trunk sleeve includes one or more notches and bends spaced apart along its length. The branch sleeve is interconnected to the trunk sleeve at each corresponding notch, with each branch sleeve open to the trunk sleeve through the respective notch. A bundle of wires extends through the trunk sleeve, with a sub-set of the bundle extending through each notch and corresponding branch sleeve. A first encapsulation layer is disposed about the trunk and branch sleeve at each interconnection separately secures each branch sleeve to the trunk sleeve. A second encapsulation layer is disposed about each bend to maintain the trunk sleeve in a desired pre-defined pattern with each first and second encapsulation layer being separated such that at least a portion of the trunk sleeve is free of the encapsulation layers.
