material, interwoven with formation of background (3) and selvage (4). Worked into
background (3) is the weft from current-conductive material with formation of heating
portions (6) and insulating strips (7). The weft (5) yarn from current-conductive
material and the current-carrying strand (8) have complete insulation cover, and their
contact is secured by means of commutative elements (9) fixed between the heating
portions (6). The warp (1) yarn has length shrinkage with 0.01-5% at 25 to 120 degrees
