Abstract

A multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket that includes a heating layer and a textile layer connected to the heating layer in a planar manner, the heating layer has one or a plurality of electrically conductive and non-destructively deformable heating tracks.

Claims (34)

1 . A multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket comprising,

a heating layer that has one or a plurality of electrically conductive and non-destructively deformable heating tracks; and

a textile base layer connected to the heating layer in a planar manner.

2 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 1 , wherein

the textile base layer is embodied from a non-woven fabric or a polyethylene terephthalate non-woven fabric.

3 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 1 , wherein

the textile base layer is arranged immediately on top of the heating layer or on one or a plurality of heating tracks of the heating layer.

4 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 1 , wherein

the textile base layer and the heating layer are bonded to one another.

5 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 1 , wherein the multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket comprises

one or a plurality of temperature sensors, wherein the one or the plurality of temperature sensors are each arranged in a temperature detection region of the multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket.

6 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 5 , wherein

the one or the plurality of temperature sensors are each covered by a cover material or a textile cover material.

7 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 1 , wherein the multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket comprises a connection region with:

one or a plurality of electrical power supply connectors, via which electrical energy from an energy source external to the multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket can be provided to the one or the plurality of heating tracks; and/or

one or a plurality of sensor connectors that are connected to the one or the plurality of temperature sensors and to which an external evaluation device for temperature detection can be connected.

8 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 7 , wherein

the heating layer includes one or a plurality of heating films carrying heating tracks.

9 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 8 , wherein

one or a plurality of electrical power supply connectors are components of the one of the plurality of heating films.

10 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 7 , wherein

the one or the plurality of sensor connectors are components of a contacting film, wherein the contacting film includes one or a plurality of contacting tracks connected to the one or the plurality of temperatures sensors.

11 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 10 , wherein

the one or the plurality of heating tracks run in a meandering pattern within a heating region, wherein the heating region extends across at least 70% of the patient electric blanket or across at least 80% thereof.

12 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 1 , wherein the multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket comprises:

a first textile thermal insulation layer that is connected in a planar manner to the heating layer on a side of the heating layer facing away from the base layer; and/or

a second textile thermal insulation layer that is connected in a planar manner to the base layer on the side of the base layer facing away from the heating layer.

13 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 12 , wherein

the first textile thermal insulation layer and/or the second textile thermal insulation layer each include one or a plurality of non-woven fabric plies or two non-woven fabric plies or polyethylene terephthalate non-woven fabric plies.

14 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 1 , wherein the multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket comprises:

a first textile comfort layer that forms a first outer side of the patient electric blanket; and/or

a second textile comfort layer that forms a second outer side of the patient electric blanket.

15 . The multi-layer electrically operable patient electric blanket according to claim 14 , wherein

the first textile comfort layer and/or the second textile comfort layer each include at least one non-woven fabric ply or a non-woven polypropylene ply.
