Abstract

A circuit body includes a flexible insulation sheet with an electric circuit pattern having wiring patterns and a temperature sensor arranged in the electric circuit pattern. The electric circuit pattern has a temperature-sensor connecting portion and a heat-concentrating pattern formed integrally with the temperature-sensor connecting portion so as to have a larger width than that of the wiring pattern. The temperature sensor is touched through the heat-concentrating pattern to an object to be measured. The wiring patterns and the heat-concentrating pattern are formed integrally on a primary surface of the insulation sheet by printing. An additional heat-concentrating pattern is further formed on a secondary surface of the insulation sheet at a position corresponding to the temperature-sensor connecting portion. The heat-concentrating patterns are bent integrally with the insulation sheet and touched to the object to be measured.

Claims (26)

1. An electric circuit body for measuring temperature, comprising:

a flexible insulation sheet;

an electric circuit pattern formed at the flexible insulation sheet, the electric circuit pattern comprising:

a wiring pattern;

a temperature-sensor connecting portion; and

a heat-concentrating pattern formed integrally with the temperature-sensor connecting portion so as to have a larger width than that of the wiring pattern; and

a temperature sensor formed on the temperature-sensor connecting portion of the electric circuit pattern,

wherein the temperature sensor is touched through the heat-concentrating pattern to an object to be measured, and

wherein the heat-concentrating pattern is configured to concentrate heat of the object to be measured and to transfer the heat to the temperature-sensor.

2. The electric circuit body according to claim 1 ,

wherein the heat-concentrating pattern is curved integrally with the insulation sheet, and

the temperature sensor is touched through the curved heat-concentrating pattern to the object to be measured.

3. The electric circuit body according to claim 1 ,

wherein an additional heat-concentrating pattern is arranged on a secondary surface of the insulation sheet at a position corresponding to the heat-concentrating pattern.

4. The electric circuit body according to claim 3 ,

wherein the heat-concentrating pattern is curved integrally with the insulation sheet, and

the temperature sensor is touched through the curved heat-concentrating pattern to the object to be measured.

5. The electric circuit body according to claim 1 ,

wherein the wiring pattern and the heat-concentrating pattern are formed integrally on a primary surface of the insulation sheet by printing.

6. The electric circuit body according to claim 5 ,

wherein the heat-concentrating pattern is curvedly formed integrally with the insulation sheet, and

the temperature sensor is touched through the curved heat-concentrating pattern to the object to be measured.

7. The electric circuit body according to claim 2 ,

wherein an additional heat-concentrating pattern is arranged on a secondary surface of the insulation sheet at a position corresponding to the heat-concentrating pattern.

8. The electric circuit body according to claim 7 ,

wherein the heat-concentrating pattern is curved integrally with the insulation sheet, and the temperature sensor is touched through the curved heat-concentrating pattern to the object to be measured.
