Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

It is disclosed a textile fabric comprising a first set of electrically conductive and externally isolated yarns (22) separated by isolating textile yarns (24); a second set of non-isolated conductive yarns (23); a plurality of textile yarns interlacing the first and the second set of yarns (22, 23), wherein part of the interlacing textile yarns are non-isolated conductive yarns (23) in order to form an electrical grounding grid with the non-isolated conductive yarns (23) of the second set of yarns and part of the interlacing textile yarns are isolating textile yarns (24).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a textile fabric comprising a first set of electrically conductive, externally electrically isolated yarns ( 22 ) separated by isolating textile yarns ( 24 ), a second set of conductive yarns ( 23 ), a plurality of textile yarns interlacing the first and the second sets of yarns ( 22 , 23 ), wherein part of the interlacing textile yarns are interlacing conductive yarns ( 23 ) that form an electrical grounding grid with the conductive yarns ( 23 ) of the second set of yarns and part of the interlacing textile yarns are interlacing isolating textile yarns ( 24 ), said method comprising: a) producing said textile fabric as a woven textile fabric comprising at least said first set of electrically conductive, externally electrically isolated yarns ( 22 ) extending along at least a first region ( 31 ) of the woven textile fabric, said first region having a first weaving structure, wherein said electrically conductive, externally electrically isolated yarns ( 22 ) of said first set extend along at least a second region ( 32 ), said second region having a second weaving structure different from said first weaving structure; and b) cutting the woven textile fabric along at least a cut-line ( 30 ) in order to obtain a plurality of swipe sensor textile portions ( 11 ), said cut-line ( 30 ) extending in said second region ( 32 ), and c) connecting said electrically conductive, externally electrically isolated yarns ( 22 ) extending in said second region of the swipe sensor textile portion ( 11 ) obtained by said cutting, to an input stage ( 70 ) and/or a microcontroller ( 80 ) in order to obtain a swipe-sensitive textile ( 500 , 600 ). 2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising adding said swipe sensor textile portion ( 11 ) or said swipe-sensitive textile ( 500 , 600 ) to an article.
