  • Patent number: 11764491
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to electrically conductive connection between a first electrically conductive element and a second electrically conductive element on a textile carrier material. In one example embodiment, the electrically conductive connection includes an electrically conductive thermal transfer adhesive arranged on the carrier material and creates an electrically conductive connection between the first conductive element and the second conductive element. The electrically conductive connection is positioned in electrically conductive contact with the first conductive element and the second conductive element.

  • Patent number: 10736542
    Abstract: Insole or shoe sole, which has a sensor device (10) having a plurality of sensor fields (1-9) for pressure detection and an electronic unit (15) that is electrically connected to the sensor fields (1-9) and has electronic components (17), wherein the sensor device (10) is formed in the manner of a sandwich with a middle layer (12) made of a piezoresistive material, a top layer (13) arranged above the middle layer (12) and a bottom layer (11) arranged underneath the middle layer (12). The top and bottom layer (13, 11) each include an electrically conductive material (14) in the region (1a-9a; 1b-9b) of a respective sensor field (1-9). The top and bottom layer (13, 11) each have a protruding flexible tab (23, 22) having conductor tracks (24-26) for electrically connecting the sensor fields (1-9) to the electronic unit (15). The electronic unit (15) has contact regions (29), against which the tabs (23, 22) bear by way of their conductor tracks (24-26).
