Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to a textile (100) and a manufacturing method (200) thereof. The textile (100) comprises: a fabric body (102) formed from one or more types of yarns; a continuous channel (104) formed within the fabric body (102); and an insulated conductive element (106) disposed within the continuous channel (104), wherein the textile (100) is heatable in response to electrical current being conducted through the insulated conductive element (106).
Claims17
A textile comprising:
- a fabric body formed from one or more types of yarns;
- a continuous channel formed within the fabric body, the continuous channel in a sinusoidal arrangement along a stretching direction of the fabric body;
- an insulated conductive element freely disposed in a slack condition and in a sinusoidal arrangement within the continuous channel;
- and
- spacings formed within the continuous channel to facilitate free movement of the insulated conductive element within the continuous channel,
- wherein the spacings allow the insulated conductive element to widen within the spacings and improve stretchability of the textile along the stretching direction;
- and
- wherein the textile is heatable in response to electrical current being conducted through the insulated conductive element.
A method of manufacturing a textile, the method comprising:
- forming a fabric body from one or more types of yarns;
- forming a continuous channel within the fabric body, the continuous channel in a sinusoidal arrangement along a stretching direction of the fabric body;
- and
- disposing an insulated conductive element freely in a slack condition, and in a sinusoidal arrangement within the continuous channel,
- wherein spacings are formed within the continuous channel to facilitate free movement of the insulated conductive element within the continuous channel,
- wherein the spacings allow the insulated conductive element to widen within the spacings and improve stretchability of the textile along the stretching direction;
- and
- wherein the textile is heatable in response to electrical current being conducted through the insulated conductive element.
