Claim Text:
1. A waterproof intermediate spliced unit, comprising: a plurality of wires, each of the wires having a conductive core and first and second spaced apart areas of insulation coating circumferentially surrounding the core, so that each of the wires has an exposed area of the conductive core between the first and second longitudinally spaced areas of insulation coating of the respective wire, the exposed areas of the wires being adjacent one another and in electrical contact with one another to define an intermediate spliced portion of the wires; a photo-curable waterproofing agent supplied to the exposed conductive cores at the intermediate spliced portion; and a deformable protective sheet formed from a material having a UV transmittance of at least 50%, the protective sheet being wound around the exposed areas of the conductive cores of the wires and around longitudinal sections of the first and second longitudinally spaced areas of insulation coating adjacent to the exposed areas of the conductive cores, the deformable protective sheet being pressed sufficiently for following deformations of a surface of the waterproofing agent supplied to the intermediate spliced portion and for urging air bubbles from the waterproofing agent in the intermediate spliced portion and holding the protective sheet in close contact with the surface of the waterproofing agent, the waterproofing agent inward of the protective sheet and surrounding the exposed areas of the conductive cores of the wires and around longitudinal sections of the first and second longitudinally spaced areas of insulation coating adjacent to the exposed areas of the conductive cores being photo-cured.
