Patent ID: 7491071

Claim:
A shield end processing structure comprising: a shield shell having electrical conductivity; and a shield ring having electrical conductivity, wherein said shield shell and said shield ring are fixed to an end portion of a tubular shielding layer, wherein said shield ring includes a tubular member folded inwardly at one end thereof such that said shield ring includes an inner tubular portion, an outer tubular portion, and a folded-back portion interconnecting said inner and outer tubular portions, said inner and outer tubular portions and said folded-back portion jointly assuming a generally V-shape in cross-section; wherein the end portion of said shielding layer is inserted between said inner tubular portion and said outer tubular portion of said shield ring, and in this condition when said shield shell is inserted into said shield ring in a direction opposite to the direction of inserting of said shielding layer, said shield ring is pressed by said shield shell, so that a gap between said inner tubular portion and said outer tubular portion decreases, and said shielding layer is firmly held between said inner and outer tubular portions, thereby achieving a fixed condition of said shielding layer, and wherein said inner tubular portion tapers inwardly starting from said folded-back portion such that said gap between said inner tubular portion and said outer tubular portion gradually increases from said folded-back portion to an end of said inner tubular portion.
