Resistive strain gauge sensor for incorporation in textile products, e.g. in a belt that can be worn around the chest to monitor breathing, has an electrically conducting rubber thread contained within an outer textile material

摘要

Resistive strain gauge sensor comprise an electrically conducting rubber thread (1) that is embedded in a textile area-measured material (3), optionally with an additional non-conducting rubber thread (2). Optionally the arrangement can have a different textile laying-out technology in the strain direction.
