WIRING MODULE AND ELASTIC WATER-STOP MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18269184 titled 'WIRING MODULE AND ELASTIC WATER-STOP MEMBER

The patent application aims to improve water stopping at a boundary part of an elastic water-stop member.

The wiring module includes a linear wiring member and an elastic water-stop member mounted longitudinally on the wiring member.
The elastic water-stop member consists of a first divided member and a second divided member.
The first divided member has a first partially surrounding portion with reinforcing wall portions and a lip portion.
The second divided member has a second partially surrounding portion with reinforcing wall portions and a lip portion.

Potential Applications: - Construction industry for waterproofing structures - Civil engineering for water containment projects

Problems Solved: - Enhances reliability of water stopping at boundaries - Improves durability of water-stop members

Benefits: - Increased water-tightness in structures - Long-lasting waterproofing solution

Commercial Applications: Waterproofing systems for buildings, bridges, tunnels, and dams

Prior Art: Prior art related to elastic water-stop members and waterproofing technologies in construction and civil engineering fields.

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research on improving water-stop materials and technologies in the construction industry.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the elastic water-stop member improve water stopping at boundaries? 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this technology in the construction industry?

Original Abstract Submitted

It is aimed to enable more reliable water stopping at a boundary part of an elastic water-stop member. A wiring module is provided with a wiring member including a linear wiring member, and an elastic water-stop member mounted on a part in a longitudinal direction of the wiring member. The elastic water-stop member includes a first divided member and a second divided member. The first divided member is formed with a first partially surrounding portion. The second divided member is formed with a second partially surrounding portion. The first partially surrounding portion is formed with a pair of first reinforcing wall portions and a first lip portion. The second partially surrounding portion is formed with a pair of second reinforcing wall portions and a second lip portion.
