COVERED CONDUCTOR AND HEATER FORMED THEREWITH

摘要

There is disclosed a conductor (10) having a conductive element (12) and a covering (14) surrounding at least a portion of the conductive element (12). Preferably, the covering (14) has an inner portion (34) and an outer portion (36) formed of different materials such that the melting point of the inner portion (34) is higher than the melting point of the outer portion (36). The conductor (10) is particularly useful for forming heaters (80), which may be integrated into a seat (90) of an automotive vehicle.
