ABSTRACT:
An elastic conductive fabric for use as a grounding strap and the method of making the same are disclosed. The fabric is woven utilizing elastic yarn ends intermingled with conductive yarn ends. The weaving process is carried out while the elastic yarn ends are distended by at least 150% and preferably 250-400% as compared with the relaxed condition thereof. Preferably the conductive yarn is woven in a two over one pattern so that when tension is released in the elastic ends, the crests of the conductive ends which span two picks will project a substantial distance from the fabric surface. The opposite face of the fabric may be comprised of insulative ends likewise woven in a two over one pattern to provide enlarged crests at said face. Locking yarn ends maintain the conductive crests in a perpendicular condition relative to the fabric body.
