Embodiment Construction

[0021] figure 1 A composite thread 2 according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown, in which a loose conductive thread 4 and a tension-relief thread 6 which is in tension compared to it are interwoven with a binding thread 8 . In other words, the tension relief wire 6 is in a state of higher tensile stress than the conductive wire 4 . The conductive thread 4 and the tension relief thread 6 are designed here such that the conductive thread 4 is subjected to a tensile load only at point a+b, at which point the tension relief thread 6 has reached its breaking limit 62 approximately at 28% elongation. In addition, the tensile strength of the tension relief thread 6 is greater than that of the conductive thread 4 . That is, this is equivalent to image 3 Case II of the breaking strength curve.

[0022] This composite thread 2 is produced on a knitting machine or a raschel machine. In this example, the composite thread has about 22 needles per cm. The tension relief...

Abstract

In order to provide an electrically conductive, elastic, textile-processable compound thread (2), and protect the same from breaking under stress, the invention provides that the compound thread (2) has at least one conductor thread (4), a textile tension relief thread (6), and a textile binder thread (8). The compound thread (2) is produced on a knitting or double rib machine using textile binder threads (8), or knitted threads, or on a weaving machine using weft threads and textile binder threads (8). The tension relief thread (6) is disposed at higher tension than the conductor thread (4) and can be stressed using higher tension.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a conductive and elastic composite wire, especially for antennas of RFID textile labels. A composite thread is understood here to mean that it consists of different threads or fibers. Furthermore, the invention relates to its use and its production of fabrics, knits and braids. Background technique [0002] It is known, for example, from WO 2002 / 071605 to incorporate conductive threads into the fabric which serve as transponder antennas in the tag. Such conductive threads are made of copper, for example, and are added by weaving during the textile production process or are applied to the fabric afterward using embroidery techniques. If the current conductor thread itself should be designed to be elastic, the known conductor threads are not suitable, since in particular the elasticity of the metal thread is not sufficient to obtain the elasticity of the entire thread. [0003] In WO2004 / 027132A1 (and also in the priority firs...
