<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cloth material configured to prevent the decrease of heating capacity thereof even when sensing capability is enhanced by increasing the number of conductive wire materials arranged in the cloth material. <P>SOLUTION: The cloth material 10 includes a plurality of conductive wire materials heated by applying current, wherein each conductive wire material is switchable between a heating mode functioning as a heater and a sensor mode functioning as a detecting electrode for detecting sitting of an occupant, by a switcher 20. The plurality number of conductive wire materials are electrically connected so as to configure a parallel circuit being arranged side by side in a specific surface direction of the cloth material 10. A first conductive wire material 11 having a predetermined resistance value capable of functioning as a heater by applying current is additionally provided in parallel with a second conductive wire material 12 having a higher resistance value than that of the first conductive wire material 11 to electrically connect the wire materials. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
