ELECTRIC HEATING CLOTH (ALTERNATIVES) AND ELECTRICITY CONDUCTING THREAD FOR THIS CLOTH; METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THIS THREAD Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: cloth designed to convey controlled amount of heat to surface has a number of non-conducting threads and at least two conducting buses. Connected to pairs of conducting buses is set of nonconducting threads interwoven with resistive conducting threads designed to pass uniform heat. Connected to conducting threads are at least two distribution buses for passing electrical energy to conducting buses. Each conducting bus and each distributing bus incorporate at least one low- resistance thread for conveying electrical energy. EFFECT: enhanced structural strength and temperature characteristics of cloth. 22 cl, 9 dwg, 1 tbl, 4 ex
