Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a piece of clothing comprising at least two conductive threads configured to transmit an electrical signal and/or to heat said garment by Joule effect. These two conductive wires are interconnected on the garment so as to create an electrical circuit.
  • the invention finds a particularly advantageous application for forming a new type of garment with a heating network integrated into the garment or with an electrical circuit integrated into the garment.
  • a piece of clothing corresponds to a piece intended to cover or to be connected to a part of the body.
  • a piece of clothing refers both to a jacket, trousers, a sock, a shoe and to a bag intended to be worn by a user.
  • the document EP 0128103 describes the manufacture of a swimsuit incorporating physiological sensors.
  • a network of conductive wires is attached to the swimsuit to transmit information from the physiological sensors to an analysis unit.
  • the conductive threads are laid on the swimsuit and attached to it by non-conductive threads.
  • This method of fixing the conductive threads is particularly tricky to achieve in order not to damage the conductive threads while guaranteeing effective attachment of the conductive threads to the garment.
  • this mode of attachment generally degrades the aesthetic appearance of the garment because the conductive yarn is an added element which is not integrated into the structure of the garment.
  • metallic threads are used to form decorative patterns on the surface of a fabric.
  • these decorative metallic threads are fixed by an added seam on the metallic threads.
  • these metallic threads have a very small section because they must be integrated into the thickness of the fabric.
  • these metal wires allow only a few electric charges to be conducted, for example electrostatic charges, and they are not suitable for transmitting an electric current.
  • the weft and warp structure of the conductive network is not suitable for producing a localized and isolated electrical circuit but for producing a large contact surface allowing an electrostatic discharge.
  • the technical problem of the invention is to obtain a piece of clothing integrating an interconnection, between at least two conducting wires, which is resistant to the mechanical stresses undergone by the piece of clothing, electrically insulated for the wearer of the piece of clothing and relatively simple and quick to make while limiting the risk of damage to the piece of clothing.
  • the invention proposes making a weld between two conducting wires, of which at least one conducting wire is integrated into a flat seam.
  • a lower layer of fabric is secured to the piece of clothing so as to protect the piece of clothing during welding.
  • This lower fabric layer also cooperates with an upper fabric layer to protect the interconnect in order to electrically isolate the interconnect from the wearer of the garment and in order to protect the interconnect from the mechanical stresses undergone by the garment.
  • the invention relates to a piece of clothing comprising: at least two conductive threads suitable for transmitting an electric current, at least one conductive thread being integrated into at least one flat seam; and at least one electrical interconnection between said at least two conductive wires.
  • Said electrical interconnect incorporates a weld between said at least two conductive wires
  • the invention is characterized in that said electrical interconnect is protected by two layers of fabric added respectively above and above said electrical interconnect: a layer of lower fabric secured to said piece of clothing above which said at least two conductive threads extend; and an upper fabric layer secured to said lower fabric layer so as to form, with said lower fabric layer, a protective barrier around said electrical interconnect.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to form a strong interconnect by placing two layers of fabric above and below the interconnect.
  • the presence of the bottom fabric layer allows a weld to be made to form the interconnect because the bottom fabric layer can protect the piece of clothing from excessive heating of the piece of clothing or any tin splashes in the weld area.
  • solidarisation used to describe the relationship between the lower fabric layer and the piece of clothing and/or the relationship between the upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer, involves a multipoint bond which can be achieved by gluing or hybridizing the two fabrics.
  • the hybridization can be carried out using layers of heat-fusible fabric and the bonding can be carried out by applying an added glue.
  • the bonding is carried out by an adhesive layer placed under the layers of fabric.
  • this adhesive layer can be activated by heating the fabric layer.
  • this multipoint connection can be configured to block, at least in part, the stretching capacities of the piece of clothing at the level of the interconnection zone.
  • the piece of clothing can retain these deformation properties at the interconnecting area.
  • This multipoint link aims to form a protective barrier around the electrical interconnection.
  • the fabric layers are sealed and the multipoint link is configured to form a sealed protective barrier around the electrical interconnect.
  • an additional protection element placed on the electrical interconnect and between the lower and upper fabric layers.
  • This additional protection can be a heat-fusible sheath or a single or double-sided piece of tape.
  • double-sided tape allows the position of the electrical interconnection to be fixed before the attachment of the upper fabric layer to the lower fabric layer.
  • the mechanical strength of the electrical interconnect is also improved by the presence of the upper and lower fabric layers.
  • the layers of fabric preferably have a thickness of between 0.1 and 1 mm, and even more preferably between 0.2 and 0.4 mm. Further, the mechanical strength of the electrical interconnect can also be improved by twisting between the lead wires before or at the weld.
  • the invention can be implemented in a large number of variants.
  • the invention can be used to make an interconnection between two, three, four or five electrical wires.

  • this flat seam has great flexibility and is particularly suitable for joining stretch fabrics.
  • a flat seam which has at least one conductive thread instead of the binding thread between two edge threads makes it possible to integrate at least one conductive thread into a piece of clothing without degrading the aesthetics of the garment because at least one conductive thread is contained in the seam.
  • the use of at least one conductive thread in the flat seam allows the use of at least one conductive thread with a section sufficient to carry electrical charges supporting a large power range and which can be meshed/insulated in order to protect the wearer of the garment against a possible short circuit.
  • the use of an insulated wire also makes it possible to cross several wires without risk of short circuit.
  • the risks of micro-cuts are also reduced because the conducting wire(s) have a significant degree of freedom in the event of deformation of the flat seam due to the shape of the flat seam.
