Title: Flat surface-mounted multi-purpose wire
IPC: H02B1/20
Filed: 1996-06-03
Abstract: 1. A surface mounted, flexible, multi-purpose wire, comprising a plurality of flat elongated conductors, an insulation layer surrounding said plurality of flat conductors, characterized in that comprises 3 flat elongated conductors spaced about 0.2-0.3 inches (5.08-7.62 mm) apart in the generally parallel relationship, wherein said flat conductors have high and low voltage and current carrying capacity, wherein each of said plurality of flat conductors comprises 3 copper layers, wherein each of said  copper layer is about 0.020 inches (50 (m) thick, and a width of each flat conductor being about 0.4-0.6 inches (10.16-15.24 mm), wherein the cross-sectional height of said flat conductors and insulation layer is about 0.007 to 0.010 inches (175-250 (m), such that the multi-purpose wire will be consistent with said surface when painted or after wallpaper is applied, and wherein said multi-purpose wire has a 17 amp, 110 VAC rated capacity. 2. A flexible multi-purpose wire as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that said 3 elongated conductors comprise ground, power and neutral conductors, and the width of the ground conductor is wider than the respective width of the power and neutral conductors. 3. A surface mounted, flexible, multi-purpose wire, comprising a plurality of flat elongated conductors, an insulation layer surrounding said plurality of flat conductors, characterized in that comprises 5 flat elongated conductors spaced about 0.2-0.3 inches (5.08-7.62 mm) apart in the generally parallel relationship, wherein said flat conductors have high and low voltage and current carrying capacity, wherein each of said plurality of flat conductors comprises 3 copper layers, wherein each of said  copper layer is about 0.020 inches (50 (m) thick, and a width of each flat conductor being about 0.4-0.6 inches (10.16-15.24 mm), wherein the cross-sectional height of said flat conductors and insulation layer is about 0.007 to 0.010 inches (175-250 (m), such that the multi-purpose wire will be consistent with said surface when painted or after wallpaper is applied, and wherein said multi-purpose wire has a 17 amp, 110 VAC rated capacity. 4. A surface mounted, flexible, multi-purpose wire, comprising a plurality of flat elongated conductors, an insulation layer surrounding said plurality of flat conductors, characterized in that comprises 3 flat elongated conductors spaced about 0.4-0.6 inches (10.16-15.24 mm) apart in the generally parallel relationship, wherein said flat conductors have high and low voltage and current carrying capacity, wherein each of said plurality of flat conductors comprises 3 copper layers, wherein each of said copper layer is about 0.020 inches (50 (m) thick, and a width of each flat conductor being about 0.2-0.6 inches (5.08-15.24 mm), wherein the cross-sectional height of said flat conductors and insulation layer is about 0.012 inches (300 μm), such that the multi-purpose wire will be consistent with said surface when painted or after wallpaper is applied, and wherein said multi-purpose wire has a 17 amp, 220 VAC rated capacity.
