Abstract:
An electrical assembly particularly well suited to the orderly coiling thereof, the cable assembly comprising:a first length of electrically conductive wire; anda dielectric forming a single piece surrounding said first length of electrically conductive wire, said dielectric defining in cross-section an upper surface and a lower surface, with a raised engagement protrusion on said upper surface of said dielectric and a matching engagement depression on said lower surface of said dielectric,whereby coiling said cable assembly into a flat, externally radiating helical coil with an upper layer having said upper surface and lower surface and a lower layer having said upper surface and lower surface results in said protrusion on said upper surface of said upper layer of said helical coil mating with said depression on said lower surface of said lower layer of said helical coil, and thereby reducing the slippage between adjacent layers of said helical coil out of a plane formed by the flat helical coil and tending to retain said cable assembly in its helically coiled formation when so wound.
