Abstract:
A fabric closure, and enclosure, are provided for cargo containers, including a fabric panel formed of high-strength yarns, and a selectively closeable opening fomied in the fabric panel for access therethrough, the selectively closeable opening having a substantially vertical opening, and a slide fastener for closure thereof.
Abstract:
A storm panel of high strength fabric is constructed, reinforced, and installed in such a way as to comply with the building codes as a large missile impact system. The panel includes a zippered opening for access through the panel when in use. When not in use, the fabric can be rolled and stored and placed in an attractive cover without disassembly.
Abstract:
A fabric closure, and enclosure, are provided for cargo containers, including a fabric panel formed of high-strength yarns, and a pair of selectively closeable openings formed in the fabric panel for access therethrough, the selectively closeable openings having a substantially vertical opening, and a slide fastener for closure thereof.
Abstract:
A composite flexible fabric is employed as a covering for an opening of a building, such as a window or door. The composite fabric protects the opening from hurricane force winds and associated flying objects. The composite fabric is formed from at least one layer of a fabric comprised of high tenacity fibers and at least one ultraviolet radiation resistant layer which is attached to the high tenacity fiber fabric. The UV resistant layer limits transmission of both UVA and UVB rays preferably to less than about 10% of the radiation incident upon such layer. Preferably, the UV resistant layer is a woven fabric, and the layer of high tenacity fibers is a woven fabric of extended chain polyethylene fibers. An adhesive layer may be used to enhance bonding between the fabric layer and the UV resistant layer.
Abstract:
A protective cover (10, 20, 60) for protecting lengths of material (82) used in environments in which the lengths of material (82) are moved or pulled around and subjected to abrasion, chemicals, and weather extremes. The protective sleeve (10, 20, 60) includes a sleeve (10, 20, 60) surrounding the length of material (82) to be protected. The sleeve (10, 20, 60) has open ends (15, 17) and is formed of a fabric made substantially of high strength yarn.
Abstract:
A lightweight and durable skirt assembly for an air cushion vehicle having a rigid support structure. The skirt comprises at least one air chamber. The air chamber is formed from a substantially air impermeable, laminated sheet material. The laminated sheet material comprises a fabric made substantially from yarns that are formed from polymers of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The fabric is laminated with a thermoplastic film.
Abstract:
A protective cover(10,20,60,70) for cables and hoses used in environments,such as airports and the like,in which the cables and hoses are dragged around and subjected to abrasion, chemicals, and weather extremes. The protective cover(10,20,60,70) includes a sleeve surrounding the cable or hose. The sleeve has open ends and formed of a fabric made substantially of high strength yarns.
