Abstract:
An air belt having mesh webbing sufficiently strong and sufficiently expandable in the circumferential direction of a bag-shaped belt and an air belt apparatus including the air belt are provided. An air belt 10 includes a folded member being a bag-shaped belt 21 folded in a band shape and mesh webbing 22 covering the folded member of the bag-shaped belt 21. The mesh webbing 22 hardly expands in the longitudinal direction of the air belt 10, and is flexibly expandable in the circumferential direction of the bag-shaped belt 21. The mesh webbing 22 is made of a raschel-knitted material 30. The knitted material 30 is arranged such that the extending direction of knot portions 36 of yarn threads 31 and 31 corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the air belt 10.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a tape that comprises a weft-inserted warp knit fabric, which utilizes a combination stitch to secure the wales of the fabric. The combination stitch comprises a majority of successive chain stitches that are used with a minority of subsequent successive tricot stitches, such that the stitch follows the expression x+y, where x is the number of successive chain stitches and y is the number of subsequent successive tricot stitches. Contemplated x values are in the range of 5 to 15, and contemplated y values are in the range of 1 to 4. Multiple stitch formations can also be used (e.g., following an x+y/m+n/etc. configuration). The resulting weft-inserted warp knit fabric possesses superior dimensional stability and internal geometry, while maintaining the tearability requisite for a hand-tearable tape product.
Abstract:
Bi-directional and multi-axial fabrics, fabric composites, ballistically resistant assemblies thereof, and the methods by which they are made. The fabrics are comprised of sets of strong, substantially parallel, unidirectional yarns lying in parallel planes, one above the other, with the direction of the yarns in a given plane rotated at an angle to the direction of the yarns in adjacent planes; and one or more sets of yarns having lower strength and higher elongation interleaved with the strong yarns. The fabrics of the invention provide superior ballistic effectiveness compared to ordinary woven and knitted fabrics but retain the ease of manufacture on conventional looms and knitting machines.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verbundstoffelement (1) für einen Klettverschluss, insbesondere einen Windelverschluss, mit einer Trägerfolie (2) und einem auf die Trägerfolie (2) aufkaschierten textilen Material (3), welches eine zur Verbindung mit Kletthaken geeignete Oberflächenstruktur aufweist. Die Trägerfolie (2) und das textile Material (3) sind in einem Randbereich, der sich entlang der Ränder des Verbundstoffelementes erstreckt und die Form eines Rahmens aufweist, flächig verbunden. Innerhalb dieses Rahmens ist eine nicht vollflächige Verbindung zwischen Trägerfolie (2) und textilem Material (3) vorgesehen.
Abstract:
A mat (10) useful for reinforcing composite materials is made up of at least first (16) and second (18) sets of fibers, the first set of fibers (16) laid as a ply in spaced apart parallel relationship in the direction of construction and the second set (18) laid as a ply in spaced apart parallel relationship perpendicular to the direction of construction. These fibers define interstices (22), into which a continuous filament (20) is knitted to provide stability. The filament (20) has a core portion (34) and a sheath portion (36), the sheath portion (36) having a lower melting point than the core portion (34). The sheath portion (36) is thermally fusible to form a plurality of closed loops in which the respective sets of fibers are entrapped. The fibers (16, 18) are glass or glass rovings and the filament (20) is a polyester, the core portion being a high-viscosity poly(ethylene terephthalate) and the sheath portion being a low-viscosity poly(ethylene terephthalate).
