| Abstract: |
An electrical conductive strap having two conductive wires is used to communicate power and signals to batteries and electronic devices attached to the strap using conductive snaps. The strap is embedded in clothing for attaching personal wearable electronic devices to the clothing are comfortable to wear as common articles of clothing such as blouses, pants, and belts. The strap is made of woven materials such as conductive webbings, which is incorporated durable electrical conductors directly into the conductive for closely integrating digital electronics with conventional clothing.

What is claimed is:
1. A conductive strap for communicating a signal from an electronic device along the strap, the strap comprising,
- a fabric defining the shape of the strap, and
- two wires embedded in the fabric, the fabric being an insulating fabric insulating the two wires from each other, a pair of electrical contacts respectively attached to the two wires, the electrical contacts forming an electrical connector for connecting the electronic device to the two wires for communicating the signal along the strap, the two electrical contacts being sew-on snaps comprising a stinger for insertion into the wires, the stinger being conductive for communicating the signal along the wires and through the contacts, the stinger comprising a pointed end for penetration into the wires and a bent end for securing the stinger to the electrical contacts.
