Patent ID: 7064299

Claim:
An electrical connection of flexible conductive strands in a flexible body wherein the flexible body has a first direction and a second direction and comprises: a first flexible electrically conductive strand of material being disposed in the first direction; a plurality of crossing flexible strands of material disposed in the second direction and crossing the first flexible electrically conductive strand of material, wherein at least one of said crossing flexible strands of material comprises a crossing flexible electrically conductive strand of material; and, a first pair of flexible locking strands of material disposed longitudinally adjacent to the first flexible electrically conductive strand of material and comprising a first flexible locking strand of material and a second flexible locking strand of material, wherein the first flexible locking strand of material is disposed above the plurality of crossing flexible strands of material, wherein the second flexible locking strand of material is disposed below the plurality of crossing flexible strands of material, and wherein the second flexible locking strand of material crosses over the first flexible locking strand of material on each side of the crossing flexible electrically conductive strand of material.
