This invention describes a fabric that can generate warmth. It works by embedding a thin, flexible heating element, made from materials like metallized fabric or plastic, into a fabric layer. When connected to a power source, this element heats up. The claims specifically narrow the invention to using metallized textile that is impregnated with a polymer and integrated into a fabric laminate, making it durable against repeated bending and crushing.
Why it matters: Since 2005, significant advancements in flexible conductive materials and miniaturized, efficient power sources make durable heated fabrics more feasible. Modern textile integration techniques also better address the claims' focus on resisting physical stress and moisture.
