Title:
ELECTROLUMINESCENT CABLE AND MOUNTING SYSTEM THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002048605
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An electroluminescent cable includes a plurality of strands (71a-71c) extending along the length of the cable (70), with the outer surfaces of adjacent strands in contact with each other. At least one strand is of high tensile strength, and at least one other strand is of high light-conductivity. The strands (71a-71c) have non-planar outer surfaces to define a recess extending along the length of the cable (70) between the outer contacting surfaces of two adjacent strands. The cable (70) further includes at least one electroluminescent fiber (73a-73c) disposed in the recess between, and being in contact with, the outer contacting surfaces of two adjacent strands; and an outer light-conductive jacket (74) enclosing the plurality of strands (71a-71c) and the electroluminescent fiber (73a-73c) . The outer light-conductive jacket (81) may be integrally formed with a mounting flange (82) extending along its length for mounting the electroluminescent cable (80).
