Patent ID: 7374445

Claim:
A bundle ( 10 ), comprising: a branch made up of a plurality of conductor wire segments ( 22 , 23 , 24 ) coated with an insulating material and grouped together; an angled coupling surrounding at least a portion of the branch, the angled coupling having an angled rigid casing ( 13 ) connected to a base ( 14 ) via a fastener member ( 15 ); channels extending through said base; a first terminal end of each of the wire segments secured to the channels; a first end of the branch fitted to the angled coupling, the angled rigid casing ( 13 ) surrounding the wire segments and having a first end ( 20 , 28 ) designed to bear against the base; the fastener member ( 15 ) for releasably fastening the first end of the casing to the base, said fastener member having a first mode wherein said base is rotatable relative to said casing about an axis through the first end of the casing, and a second mode wherein said base is fixedly secured to said casing; a shielding sheath ( 40 ) enclosing a second end of the branch, an end of the sheath secured to a second end ( 30 , 31 ) of the casing opposite the first end, a portion of the wire segments of the branch extending from the end of the sheath inside the casing so that the casing ( 13 ) surrounds the wire segments; and an abutment member ( 33 ) secured to the portion of the wire segments that extend inside ( 25 ) the casing at a position on the wire segments where the portion of the wire segments enters the casing from the end of the sheath, the abutment member adhered to at least one of the wire segments, said abutment member co-operating with the second end of the casing to prevent said portion of the wire segments from leaving said casing, and wherein said portion of the wire segments presents an extra length ( 39 ) within the casing sufficient to enable the wire segments to twist about each other so that an angular orientation between the base and the casing about the axis through the first end can be modified without introducing harmful mechanical stresses in the wire segment portions surrounded by the casing.
