  • Patent number: 10100462
    Abstract: There is provided a high-tensile synthetic fiber rope having a low percentage elongation, the rope dramatically improving the strength utilization rate of the tensile strength of the synthetic fibers, and ensuring the percentage elongation approximately the same as the percentage elongation of the synthetic fibers used in the rope. The synthetic fiber rope includes a plurality of strands twisted or braided together, each of the strands including: a tubular woven fabric woven with warp and weft yarns made of synthetic fibers; and a core material disposed in the tubular woven fabric, the core material being constituted by a plurality of parallel-bundled yarns made of the synthetic fibers in the tubular woven fabric.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2013
    Date of Patent: October 16, 2018
    Assignees: OBAMA ROPE MFG., CO., LTD., ASHIMORI INDUSTRY CO., LTD.

  • Publication number: 20060081329
    Abstract: In a method of processing woven/knitted fabric composed of thermal fusion bonding yarns, woven fabric, knitted fabric, or a braid, which is obtained by weaving or knitting thermal fusion bonding textile yarns such as thermal fusion bonding polyester and the like, is molded by being subjected to heat-processing. The molded product can be remolded by being subjected to heat-processing again. The woven fabric or the knitted fabric is a flat sheet or a three-dimensional woven/knitted fabric. It is also possible to partly overlapping the woven fabric or the knitted fabric on ordinary woven fabric or ordinary knitted fabric and to heat-molding them integrally with each other.

  • Patent number: 6933251
    Abstract: A fabric for welding is provided which has a welding portion integral with the fabric which extends partially or completely over the width of the fabric. The welding portion of the fabric comprises at least a warp or weft which melts under hot pressing to adhere the fabric to a substrate. The substrate may be a cloth sheet, a synthetic resin sheet, or the like. This enables one to attach the sheet to a column, a stake, a log, a building, a footing, etc., or to attach the welding fabric to another sheet.
