Definitions
- the present invention relates to a conductive yarn and an article having a wiring line that is formed of said conductive yarn.
- Electric devices having various functions such as a sensor for measuring a body temperature and/or a heart rate, an electrode used for a low frequency therapy by electrical stimulation or EMS (electrical Muscle Stimulation) and LED for decoration are applied on a garment.
- EMS electrical Muscle Stimulation
- wiring lines for connecting with a power supply for driving the electric devices and for input/output signals are also applied on the garment at the same time.
- Means for preparing a wiring line on a wearable device include a method of cutting a metal foil out in the wiring shape to stick on the device and a method of printing conductive paste on the device.
- the wiring line prepared by these methods required to be protected by covering with a resin film or the like in order to prevent disconnection accompanying deformation of the garment.
- a resin film or the like There is a significant problem in using the resin film, because the resin film might impair flexibility of clothing.
- the Patent Document 1 discloses a sewing machine yarn wherein a conductive filament and a flame-retardant fiber having a limiting oxygen index LOI of 26 or more are twisted together. Using the flame-retardant fiber having a limiting oxygen index LOI of 26 or more enables to resist abrasion and wear of the sewing needle and to form conductive patterns freely on a fabric by a sewing machine sewing.
- Patent Document 1 Jpn. Pat. Laid-Open Publication No. 2018-154944
- the Patent document 1 illustrates a sewing machine yarn obtained by twisting a conductive filament and a twistable flame-retardant fiber spinning yarn together, according to which thread breakage while sewing machine sewing can be prevented.
- the flame-retardant fiber spinning yarn has high strength and has moderate extensibility against tension in a length direction. While it can exhibit an effect of relaxing the tension during sewing machine sewing, there is a risk of breaking since the conductive filament is weak against elongation.
- the sewing machine yarn wherein two kinds of fibers having different physical properties such as a flame-retardant fiber spinning yarn and a conductive filament are twisted together is unbalanced in stress caused by twisting. For that reason, twisting and slacking of the sewing machine yarn on a stitch during sewing may easily occur. Twisting and slacking of the sewing machine yarn on a stitch may cause the decrease in conductivity. There also arises a problem that electrical short circuit between the wiring lines adjacent to each other may occur.
- the present inventors studied the structure of a double covering yarn having a high-strength filament yarn as a core yarn and two conductive filament yarns as a sheath yarn. As a result, they have found that a conductive yarn comprising a non-twisted high-strength filament yarn covered by one conductive filament yarn with a Z-twist and the other conductive filament yarn with an S-twist can exhibit highly durable conductivity and excellent sewability.
- the present invention provides a conductive yarn characterized by comprising a non-twisted high-strength filament yarn formed of a high-strength fiber having tensile strength of 10 cN/dtex or more, a first conductive filament yarn that covers the high-strength filament yarn with a Z-twist and a second conductive filament yarn that covers the high-strength filament yarn with an S-twist.
- the high-strength fiber forming the high-strength filament yarn has tensile strength of 20 cN/dtex or more. It is preferable that the high-strength fiber is formed of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent disconnection of the first conductive filament yarn and the second conductive filament yarn even when tension is applied to the wiring part at the time of wearing after sewing, and to keep high conductivity.
- both the first conductive filament yarn and the second conductive filament yarn are a copper-coated polyester filament yarn or a silver-coated polyester filament yarn. According to this configuration, it is possible to form a low-resistance wiring line capable of imparting reduction of power consumption and improvement of accuracy in input/output signals.
- the present invention also relates to an article which has a wiring line that is formed of the above-mentioned conductive yarn. According to the present invention, an article having a flexible wiring line that exhibits high durability in terms of tensile force can be produced by means of an easy method of sewing or the like.
- the present invention is capable of providing a conductive yarn which has excellent sewability and conductivity that exhibits high durability in terms of tensile force in a length direction.

- the conductive yarn of the present invention thus obtained which has the structure of a double covering yarn enables to suppress twisting and slacking thereof during sewing by balancing stress in an S-twisting direction and that in a Z-twisting direction.
- a non-twisted high-strength filament yarn is used as a core yarn, in addition, elongation in a length direction of the conductive yarn can be restricted to have an effect of reducing the risk of a change in a resistance value and disconnection.
- the elongation rate in a length direction of the conductive yarn according to the present invention is preferably 5% or less.
- the elongation rate in a length direction of the conductive yarn is 5% or less, it is possible to form a wiring line wherein deterioration of conductivity against tensile force in a length direction is suppressed. As a result, increase of a resistance value can be prevented even when a force in a length direction is applied at the time of using such as wearing.
- the elongation rate in the present invention is measured according to JIS L 1095 (Testing Methods for Spun Yarn; 9.5; a single yarn tensile strength and an elongation rate).
- the conductive yarn of the present invention having highly durable conductivity can be used for a wiring line for various electric devices and the like. Since it also has excellent sewability, it is suitable to use for a wiring line provided especially on a fabric such as a garment.
- Examples of the article having the wiring line of the present invention include an article having a wiring line formed as a stitch using the conductive yarn on a flexible base material such as a fabric. Since said wiring line is formed of the conductive yarn, it has high strength and low elongation in a length direction. Further, because of excellent flexibility of said wiring line using the above-mentioned conductive yarn, it does not inhibit flexibility that the base material inherently has.
- Examples of means for forming a wiring line on the base material include sewing. Sewing may be hand sewing or sewing by using a sewing machine such as a home sewing machine or an industrial sewing machine.
- the conductive yarn of the present invention can be used for a sewing machine yarn.

Even in the case of forming a wiring line having a complex shape, occurrence of twisting and slacking of the conductive yarn can be suppressed. Suppression of occurrence of twisting and slacking of the conductive yarn enables preventing of causing a short circuit even between the two adjacent wirings, which allows to form a precise and fine wiring pattern.
- Examples of stitches forming a wiring line formed of a conductive yarn of the present invention include a single chain stitch, a hand-sewing stitch, a lock stitch and a double ring sewing stitch, although it is not particularly limited.
