Abstract
Abstract Tape which is formed of generally flat construction and by braiding and which includes carrier means for electricity, light or fluid. The carrier means is contained between the yarn from which the braid is produced. The yarn may be formed from metallic, glass fiber, plastics or the like and of natural, synthetic or regenerated fibers. The carrier means comprises insulated electrical resistance or conductor wires or a combination thereof or may consist of fiber optic materials or a fluidic tube.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
40 words
A tape comprising a single thickness braid of flat construction formed of yarns and carrier means for transmission of energy contained between the yarns from which the braid is produced, said carrier means comprising fibre optics material for transmitting light.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
40 words
A tape comprising a single thickness braid of flat construction formed of yarns and carrier means for transmission of energy contained between the yarns from which the braid is produced, said carrier means comprising fibre optics material for transmitting light.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
62 words
A tape comprising a single thickness braid of flat construction formed of yarns and a plurality of carrier means for transmission of energy contained between the yarns from which the braid is produced, at least two of which carrier means are series connected electrical conductors and in which at least one other of the carrier means serves as an earth continuity lead.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
A tape comprising a single thickness braid of flat construction formed of yarns and a plurality of carrier means for transmission of energy contained between the yarns from which the braid is produced, at least two of which carrier means are series connected electrical conductors and in which at least one other of the carrier means serves as an earth continuity lead.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
A tape as claimed in CLAIM 2 in which at least some of the braiding yarns are electrically conductive.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
62 words
A tape comprising a single thickness braid of flat construction formed of yarns and a plurality of carrier means for transmission of energy contained between the yarns from which the braid is produced, at least two of which carrier means are parallel connected electrical conductors and in which at least one other of the carrier means serves as an earth continuity lead.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
62 words
A tape comprising a single thickness braid of flat construction formed of yarns and a plurality of carrier means for transmission of energy contained between the yarns from which the braid is produced, at least two of which carrier means are parallel connected electrical conductors and in which at least one other of the carrier means serves as an earth continuity lead.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
19 words
A tape as claimed in CLAIM 4 in which at least some of the braiding yarns are electrically conductive.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
40 words
A tape comprising a single thickness braid of flat construction formed of yarns and carrier means for transmission of energy contained between the yarns from which the braid is produced, in which a temperature sensor is incorporated in the tape.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
40 words
A tape comprising a single thickness braid of flat construction formed of yarns and carrier means for transmission of energy contained between the yarns from which the braid is produced, in which a temperature sensor is incorporated in the tape.
