  • Patent number: 8740091
    Abstract: A care label consists of a strip-shaped fabric band into which an antenna structure is sewn during the production of the fabric band. A small detection plate is fixed to the fabric band next to the fold line in the region of the antenna structure. To form the care label, the fabric band is folded along the fold line such that the antenna structures of the folded sections are superimposed after the folding process. The small detection plate comprises a chip with a coupling loop and together with the antenna structure forms a textile transponder.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080196940
    Abstract: The invention relates to a textile material comprising a circuit module (20, 24) and an antenna (12), wherein the antenna (12) is configured as an E field emitter for a working frequency in the UHF or microwave range and consists entirely of components of the textile material itself in the form of electrically conductive thread structures which are mechanically processed within the industrial weaving production process usual for textiles to form antenna structures. According to the invention, in the narrow band weaving production process the antenna structures are formed by asymmetric meander structures comprising a continuous electrically conductive weft thread (14) which runs in sections parallel and/or obliquely to the warp threads and is guided forwards to the effective edge (18) and immediately backwards between the sections (16) transverse to the warp threads.
