Patent ID: 8690614

Claim:
A cable fixing method for a cable for a vehicle, said method comprising: inserting a part of a cable in a longitudinal direction into a metallic cylindrical part of a metallic case, the cable comprising a core, an insulative coating layer provided at an outer periphery of the core, a sheath layer provided as an outermost layer, and a reinforcing braided layer provided between the insulative coating layer and the sheath layer, the reinforcing braided layer comprising braided fiber materials consisting of a polymer; and fixing the cable to the metallic case by crimping the metallic cylindrical part which accommodates the part of the cable in the longitudinal direction in such a manner that 0.60≦K≦0.95 is established, wherein a cross-sectional area of the cable before crimping the metallic cylindrical part is A, a cross-sectional area of the cable after crimping the metallic cylindrical part is B, and B/A is a crimping ratio K, and wherein the metallic cylindrical part is crimped to form a plurality of recesses at an outer periphery of a crimping region which is a part of the metallic cylindrical part, and C≧D/5 is established wherein C is a total area of the plurality of recesses formed after crimping the metallic cylindrical part and D is a surface area of the crimping region before crimping the metallic cylindrical part.
