This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240417897 titled 'Weft Knit Fabric with Electrical Components




==Original Abstract Submitted==

knitting equipment may be used to form weft knit fabric. a conductive strand may be coupled to a weft knit fabric layer using stitches such as tuck stitches, knit stitches, and floats. an electrical component may be mounted to a float and electrically connected to the conductive strand. a double knit fabric may include first and second outer weft knit layers joined by a connecting strand. the electrical component may be mounted to an outer weft knit layer or the connecting strand. the electrical component may have first and second portions that attach together to trap a conductive strand between the first and second portions. the electrical component may have a through-hole that receives a conductive loop in the fabric. a circular knit fabric may include a conductive strand that spirals around a longitudinal axis and that has connected segments and electrically isolated segments.
