Abstract

A conductive line stitching method is disclosed, wherein a metal line is arranged in a protection layer to form a conductive line, which is subjected to the steps of forming conductive line, laying cloth, performing stitching, combining a device, and connecting conductive line to have the conductive line located in a stitching area to carry out a subsequent operation for connection with a device, thereby achieving an effect of being processed with a one-time process and concealing the conductive line facilitated on smart clothes.

Claims

1. A conductive line stitching method, the method comprising:

arranging a metal line in a protection layer to form a conductive line;

positioning the conductive line on a stitching area of two stacked cloth sheets;

performing stitching on the stitching area of the two stacked cloth sheets to locate the conductive line inside a stitching line;

combining a detection device with the stitching line; and

connecting the detection device to the conductive line.

2. The conductive line stitching method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the protection layer comprises an insulation layer formed of a material comprising polyvinyl chloride or a yarn line formed by spinning cotton, silk, hemp, animal hairs, or artificial fibers.
