    Abstract: A sail with a seamless body is produced by transporting a flexible carrier over a segmented support through a series of stations in which a coating of liquid synthetic resin is deposited on the carrier in a predetermined pattern conforming substantially to the desired configuration for the sail and the segments of the support are moved to the carrier and coating into the predetermined contour for the transverse portion of the sail disposed thereon concurrently with passage of said carrier thereover. Structural yarns are deposited in the coating in a predetermined pattern, and additional liquid synthetic resin to a desired depth for the coating corresponding substantially to the desired thickness for the sail and to encapsulate the structural yarns. The resin on said carrier is cured to produce a composite sail structure having the desired configuration and contours with structural yarns being embedded in the cured resin. The composite sail structure si removed from the carrier and trimmed, following which finishing operations are performed thereon.

    Abstract: An apparatus for fabricating a unique non-woven fabric which has the appearance of a woven fabric includes a supply station for adhesive coated parallel warp yarns, a support structure for orienting the parallel warp yarns into a cylindrical orientation with the adhesive coating on the outside, a weft yarn applicator for wrapping weft yarns around the cylindrically oriented warp yarns, a heating station for activating the adhesive and a cooling station for setting the adhesive, and a cutter for severing the cylindrically formed fabric composite so that it can be flattened and wrapped onto a take-up roller. The weft yarn applicator includes a rotating drum wherein a plurality of spools of weft yarn material are mounted in circumferentially spaced relationship. Tension on the weft yarns is provided by the rotation of the drum (centrifugal force) and a stationary conical aligner is used to guide the weft yarn material onto the warp yarns in substantially perpendicular alignment.

    Abstract: A low-stretch, flexible composite, made of one or several sections, particularly useful for making a sail (2), includes first and second polymer films (52, 62) with discontinuous, stretch-resistant segments (16) therebetween. The segments extend generally along the load lines (17) for the sail. The segments have lengths which are substantially shorter than corresponding lengths of the load lines within each section. The ends of the segments are laterally staggered relative to one another. Mats (20) of generally parallel mat elements can be used as the segments. The mat elements typically include discrete multifiber yarns (24, 26) and/or a fiber array (22), typically created by pneumatically laterally spreading apart the fibers of an untwisted multifiber yarn (32). A laminating assembly includes first and second flexible pressure sheets (66, 68), defining a sealable lamination interior (82) containing the material stack (64) to be laminated, housed within an enclosure (90). A partial vacuum is created within the lamination interior and heated fluid is circulated in contact with the pressure sheets to quickly and uniformly heat the pressure sheets and the material stack being laminated.
