GZE CabledWristband

Technology Name

Wristband with integrated cables and “click system” connectors.

Technology Type

Research on materials, design, integration of electical/electronical parts in clothing.

Description

The wristband is designed to hold, protect and connect different devices: a mainboard, with accessible usb connector, an RFID antenna, the antenna driver board, an interface board, a battery, an FSR sen-sors band, an inertial sensor. The wristband has built-in right-sized pockets or Velcro straps to hold the the devices in position. The bus cables, used to connect the devices, are integrated in the 3D fab-ric. The cables can be connected using GZE's “click system”, based on snap buttons.  All the elec-tronic parts, except the bus cables, can be removed, in order to check them up or to wash the wrist-band. The parts can be protected with a removable covering layer. The base fabric is elastic, for com-fort and size-adjustability.
