Patent ID: 7658612

Claim:
A body conformable network, comprising: a wearable article having: a plurality of sections; a plurality of electrical conducting network paths disposed on the sections; and a plurality of electrical connectors for mechanically joining the sections and for electrically joining the network paths, wherein the electrical connectors comprise: a first mating element; a printed circuit board disposed at least partially within the first mating element, the printed circuit board having a plurality of electrically conductive paths configured to be electrically coupled to the electrical conducting network paths at a coupling location; and a second mating element configured to be mechanically coupled to the first mating element, such that the second mating element maintains a rotational degree of freedom with respect to the first mating element when mechanically coupled; and the second mating element having a plurality of electrical contacts configured to be electrically coupled to respective electrical paths on the printed circuit board when the mating elements are mechanically coupled.
