Patent ID: 8872028

Claim:
A braided wire processing method of connecting a grounding wire to a braided wire of a shielded electric wire by using a plurality of ring members having different diameters, the method comprising: a first process of enabling an exterior side of the braided wire, which is exposed by stripping a terminal portion of the shielded electric wire, to pass through a conductive first ring member from an electric wire axis direction; a second process of inserting a conductor of the grounding wire into a cutout portion, which is formed at the first ring member and becomes a cutout in the electric wire axis direction, and extending the conductor in the electric wire axis direction; a third process of folding back the braided wire at an end portion of the first ring member to thus cover an outer circumference portion and the cutout portion of the first ring member and the conductor of the grounding wire, and a fourth process of enabling an exterior side of the folding back portion, which is formed by folding back the braided wire, to pass through a second ring member from the electric wire axis direction and compressing the first ring member in a circumferential direction thereof as the second ring member passes thereupon, thereby contracting a gap of the cutout portion.
