Abstract: A garment comprises a fabric shell (10) to which a number of electronic devices (12, 14) are removably attached, suitably in respective pockets (16,18). Linking the devices (12, 14) are a pair of electrical conductors (20, 22) with a fabric cover (24) over at least a part of their length. The fabric shell (10) and fabric cover (24) are provided with complementary connectors such as press-studs (26) to enable the fabric cover (24) and conductors (20, 22) to be attached to the garment, and easily removed therefrom for upgrades and/or cleaning of the garment.

Abstract: An audio speaker for incorporation into garments, upholstery, etc., has a diaphragm (10) and connecting wires (18) or switch (48), and a concave cover (20 or 44) made of a heat-molded textile having a ceramic textile covering. The speaker is attached by stitching (16) to an aperture (12) in a piece of conventional textile (14), for easy incorporation into a garment. The speaker may be sewn into the hood of a sports garment, or may be attached by the switch to a conducting area within a concave area of a garment such as a dress.

Abstract: A garment is provided comprising a fabric shell (10) hosting one or more electrical conductors (12) the or each of which is connectable to at least one of a plurality of electronic devices (14, 16, 18, 20) housed in respective pockets (P) of the fabric shell (10). The pockets (P) are detachable from the fabric shell (10), with each pocket comprising a fabric cover provided with mechanical connectors, such as patches of Velcro™, zips or press studs. The garment fabric shell (10) is provided with complementary mechanical connectors to enable the fabric cover and device to be removably attached to the garment, each pocket includes an electrical connection between a device in that pocket and one or more of said electrical conductors (12).

Abstract: A wiring structure for incorporation into garments allows electrical or electronic equipment carried about the person to be connected together. The cabling structure comprises cabling of electrical conductors or optical fibres and cabling terminations in the form of connector components. The connector components facilitate connection and disconnection with the electrical or electronic equipment and in order to do so are provided in the finished garment at accessible locations. The cable terminations are mounted on fabric portions allowing attachment with garments using traditional garment construction techniques. A fabric carrier piece may be provided.
