Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for measuring the pressure and/or the tension exerted at different points of a flexible, foldable and/or extensible textile material capable of being used as a garment, lapel, or the like; said device is remarkable in that it includes, on the one hand, at least one sensor obtained from a single layer (), formed of an arrangement of at least three types of fibers, piezoresistive fibers forming piezoresistive areas (), conductive fibers forming electrically-conductive areas (), and insulating fibers forming electrically-insulating areas () and, on the other hand, an electronic circuit () capable of measuring the electric resistance variation of the piezoresistive areas submitted to one or several forces.
