Abstract
A web of adhesive, especially a normally tacky and pressure-sensitive adhesive, is rendered electrically conductive by imparting a pattern of electrically conductive elements that extend from slightly beyond one face of the web to slightly beyond the other face of the web. In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive web is sandwiched between release liners formed of uniaxially oriented film and a conductive thread stitched through both the liners and the adhesive web. The liners can be removed, tearing along the stitch lines, to create an electrically conductive adhesive web.
Claims15
An electrically conductive web having opposed parallel faces and being adhesive on at least one face, the web having a stiched pattern of continous electricaly conductive thread extending therethrough and lying along each face, said thread being exposed at both faces of the web.
