    摘要: This provides a system and method for constructing and employing a wire carrier for use in reinforcing the attachment channel of weather seals that includes an expansion and compression resisting element located along at least one bending axis of the carrier when it is folded and molded into the attachment channel of the weather seal. The resisting element can be combined with warp yarns that allow limited expansion and compression along other axes, but in combination with the element prevent collapse of the seal that results in and uneven surface and/or visible kinks. The resisting element can comprise at least one undulating (sinusoidal) wire that is attached (e.g. by welding, soldering, etc.) to the individual crossing carrier wires. Alternatively, the resisting element can comprise another type of structure, such as a thin metal or polymer strip. Likewise, the undulating wire(s) can be constructed from a polymer.

    摘要: A spacer fabric has two transversely spaced cloth layers. First spacer yarns bridge and transversely connect the cloth layers and are each formed by a core yarn and a helical wrapping made of metal or having a metallic layer. Second spacer yarns also bridge and transversely connect the cloth layers but are of different construction from the first yarns.

    摘要: A fiber structure including a multi-layered fabric includes a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer. The first fabric layer and the second fabric layer are stacked one over another in the thickness direction of the multi-layered fabric. A warp yarn in the first fabric layer is thicker than a warp yarn in the second fabric layer, and/or a weft yarn in the first fabric layer is thicker than a weft yarn in the second fabric layer, and a pitch in the first fabric layer is smaller than a pitch in the second fabric layer, where each of the pitches refers to a distance between any two main axes of yarns adjacent to each other in each of the warp layer and the weft layer.

    摘要: An item may include fabric or other materials formed from intertwined strands of material. The strands of material may include non-conductive strands and conductive strands. The strands may be intertwined by a warp knitting machine to produce a warp knit fabric. The warp knit fabric may include intertwined warp strands and weft insertion strands that are inserted amongst the warp strands. The weft insertion strands may extend across less than all of the warp strands. The weft insertion strands may include parallel segments that each extend across a different portion of the warp strands. The segments of weft insertion strands may have different widths relative to one another and relative to the width of the fabric. The weft insertion strands may be inserted into the warp knitting machine across the warp strands using a weft insertion device that is positioned by a computer-controlled positioner.
