Abstract
A textile heating device having a plurality of electrically conductive heating strands in contact with each other at a plurality of points of contact by way of respective contact surfaces is provided. The electrically conductive textile includes at least two strands which are fixed relative to each other at at least one point of contact such that a contact area at the fixed at least one point of contact between the contact surfaces remains essentially constant during mechanical action of the textile.
Claims17
An electrically conductive textile suitable for heating comprising a plurality of electrically conductive heating strands in contact with each other at a plurality of points of contact by way of respective contact surfaces, and a plurality of electrode strands arranged in the textile, for electrical contacting of the plurality of heating strands, wherein at least two of the heating strands are fixed relative to each other at at least one point of contact by way of a fixation such that a contact area at the fixed at least one point of contact remains essentially constant during mechanical action on the textile, and wherein, at regular distances, an electrode strand is worked into the textile in place of a heating strand in each instance.
An electrically conductive textile suitable for heating comprising a plurality of electrically conductive heating strands in contact with each other at a plurality of points of contact by way of respective contact surfaces, and a plurality of electrode strands arranged in the textile, for electrical contacting of the plurality of heating strands, wherein at least two of the heating strands are fixed relative to each other at at least one point of contact by way of a fixation such that a contact area at the fixed at least one point of contact remains essentially constant during mechanical action on the textile, and wherein the electrode strands are arranged undulated or sinusoidal in the heating textile.
An electrically conductive textile comprising a plurality of electrically conductive heating strands each in contact with each other at a plurality of contact areas by way of respective contact surfaces, and a plurality of electrode strands arranged in the textile for electrically contacting the heating strands, wherein at least one of the contact areas is fixed such that it remains substantially constant in size during mechanical loading of the textile, and wherein at least two of the plurality of electrode strands are in contact with each other at a plurality of contact areas by respective contact surfaces and at least one of the electrode strand contact areas is fixed such that it remains substantially constant in size during mechanical loading of the textile.
An electrical conductive textile comprising a plurality of electrically conductive heating strands each in contact with each other at a plurality of contact areas by way of respective contact surfaces, and a plurality of electrode strands arranged in the textile for electrically contacting the heating strands, wherein at least one of the contact areas is fixed such that it remains substantially constant in size during mechanical loading of the textile, and wherein the plurality of electrode strands are arranged substantially sinusoidally in the heating textile.
