Abstract
A heating tape for a vehicle includes a base layer, an adhesive layer, and an electrically-resistive layer. The base layer has a strap shape and has optical transparency. The adhesive layer is formed of an adhesive having optical transparency. The adhesive layer is formed on one side of the base layer and is adhesive to a window glass of the vehicle. The electrically-resistive layer is formed of an electrically-resistive material having optical transparency. The electrically-resistive layer generates heat when an electric current passes through the electrically-resistive layer.
Claims14
A heating tape for a vehicle, the heating tape comprising:
- a base layer that has a strap shape, the base layer having optical transparency;
- an adhesive layer that is formed of an adhesive having optical transparency, the adhesive layer being formed on one side of the base layer and being adhesive to a window glass of the vehicle;
- and
- an electrically-resistive layer that is formed of an electrically-resistive material having optical transparency, wherein
- the electrically-resistive layer generates heat when an electric current passes through the electrically-resistive layer, wherein
- the electrically-resistive layer is formed by cold plasma coating.
A vehicle comprising:
- a window glass;
- and
- a heating tape that is stuck to the window glass, wherein
- the heating tape includes:
- a base layer that has a strap shape, the base layer having optical transparency;
- an adhesive layer that is formed of an adhesive having optical transparency, the adhesive layer being formed on one side of the base layer that faces the window glass and being adhesive to the window glass;
- and
- an electrically-resistive layer that is formed of an electrically-resistive material having optical transparency, wherein
- the electrically-resistive layer generates heat when an electric current passes through the electrically-resistive layer, wherein
- the electrically-resistive layer is formed by cold plasma coating.
