Embodiment Construction

[0030] first based on figure 1 The details of the conductive fabric according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with FIG. 2 . figure 1 A front view showing a conductive fabric according to an embodiment of the present invention. The conductive fabric of the present embodiment is preferably used as a skin of a vehicle seat that generates heat by itself as a heater device, or as a heater device disposed on the back side of a seat cover.

[0031] The conductive fabric 1 has conductive threads 2 and non-conductive threads. As the conductive thread 2 , various conductive fibrous materials such as a conductive thread made of only conductive materials such as thin metal wires or a composite of these conductive threads and other fibers can be used. As the conductive wire, it is preferable to use a thin stainless steel wire with high tensile strength and high corrosion resistance. The outer periphery of the conductive wire may be covered with resin...

Abstract

A conductive fabric (1, 21) comprising conductive threads (2, 22) and non-conductive threads, including a fabric end edge (3a, 23c) arrangement in a region of the end of the conductive thread (2b, 22b) not used for energization At a position where the fabric edge (1a, 21a) is recessed inwardly of the fabric surface in areas other than the region including the end of the conductive thread (2b, 22b) not used for current conduction, the conductive thread not used for current conduction ( 2b, 22b) end portions retreat inwardly of the fabric surface. This structure can be achieved by removing a part ( 3 ) of the structure of the conductive fabric ( 1 ), including the ends of a part of the conductive threads ( 2 b ) and the non-conductive threads.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a conductive fabric, and more specifically, to a conductive fabric including conductive yarns and non-conductive yarns in which some conductive yarns are electrically insulated from other conductive yarns and external members. Background technique [0002] Conductive fabrics including conductive threads are known, and are used for heaters and various sensors utilizing conductivity. For example, such a conductive fabric is used as a seat cover (seat cover) of a vehicle seat, and as a seat cover provided with a seat heater or a capacitive seating sensor. [0003] When passing electricity to a conductive fabric including a conductive thread, the conductive thread is often connected to another conductive connection member at the end of the conductive fabric. Then connect the connecting parts to the power supply or control equipment, etc. A method disclosed in JP 2010-245006 is known as a method of connecting a conductive ...
