ABSTRACT:
An electrical conductor and method of making same is disclosed whereby the conductor is particularly suited for use in soft children's toys because it is washable, non-toxic, safe, durable and crumple-resistant. The conductor is comprised of a nonwoven material which has been impregnated with conductive ink to form electric circuits within the fiber of the material. The circuits conduct currents sufficient to drive a plurality of detachable integrated circuits which are actuated by the pressing of pressure-sensitive switches which touch two conductive fabric traces to complete a circuit. Additionally, the conductors may be designed to have different resistances and combined within a circuit to form electric components capable of controlling and directing the flow of current.
