Abstract
A fabric and an apparatus for making the same are disclosed. A conductive yarn has a non-conductive core thread and a fine metal thread wound around the surface of the non-conductive core thread. The fine metal thread is guided by an apparatus to wind around the surface of the non-conductive core thread in a spiral form. The apparatus has a base station, an axle on the base station, and a spool set on the axle for twisting the fine metal thread. The core thread passes through the center of the axle, and the axle is driven by a power to drive the spool to rotate, thuds winding the fine metal thread around the surface of the non-conductive core thread so as to form an elastic and flexible conductive yarn.
Claims6
A fabric comprising:
- a plurality of conductive metal wires extending in a warp direction, which are limited to two sides of the fabric in 0.5 to 0.6 centimeters,
- a plurality of non-conductive threads extending in the warp direction, which are limited to a central section part of the fabric, and:
- a plurality of conductive yarns extending in a weft direction, whereby interlacing the fine metal threads of the conductive yarn with the conductive metal wires of the warp direction to form a conductive fabric.
