Abstract: A flexible jacket covering for a printing press transfer cylinder having a low density selvage for attaching one edge of the jacket to a hook and loop attachment strip on the transfer cylinder. The covering is cut from fabric woven on a shuttleless loom. The fabric has a reduced density selvage formed by reducing the density of warp threads in the selvage is no more than the warp thread density in the body of the covering fabric and preferably to about half the warp thread density in the body of the fabric.

Abstract: A method for making a fabric having a ground and pile threads inserted between the ground threads is provided. The method comprises a step of weaving two fabrics simultaneously so that the fabrics are positioned parallel and spaced by a predetermined distance, and the pile threads are inserted alternately between the ground threads of one fabric and between those of the other fabric. Also, each pile thread is wound around one of the ground threads by one or more turns. The method further comprises cutting the pile threads between the fabrics, and heat setting the fabrics to bind the pile threads to the ground firmly. The pile threads are made of acrylic yarn, and the weight percentage of the pile threads in the fabric is between 80 and ninety-five 95, and the weight percentage of the ground threads in the fabric is the remainder.

Abstract: A method for weaving single-layered and/or multi-layered woven fabric, especially airbag fabric, includes interweaving warp threads delivered by at least two warp beams.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an unbalanced twill weave fabric having fill yarns at least about three times larger than the warp yarns. Such a fabric thus has increased strength provided by the fill direction. The present invention further relates to an airbag restraint device for vehicles, where the airbag is constructed of the unbalanced twill weave fabric and has the fill yarns oriented substantially parallel to the longest direction of the airbag.

Abstract: The invention relates to a face-to-face weaving machine with face-to-face shed forming, a twister device (1) being provided and relates further to a twister device (1) for a face-to-face weaving machine with face-to-face shed forming, the twister device (1) being situated between weaving frames (11), mutually provided with a free space and a weaving reed (12) and the twister device (1) being provided with means (2) for positioning a first series of warp threads (101) in waving means, means (3) to wave the first series of warp threads (101) and means (4) to cause a second series of warp threads (100) to move up and down, said means (4) to cause a second series of warp threads (100) to move up and down being driven by a driving device (19) provided with a casing (7), and said means (2) for positioning a first series of warp threads (101) in waving means, said means (3) to wave the first series of warp threads (101) and said means (4) to cause a second series of warp threads (100) to move up and down being attac

Abstract: A textile with first grouping of yarns separated from a second grouping of yarns, and displacement yarns disposed between the first grouping of yarns and the second grouping of yarns such that the displacement yarns progress in a sinusoidal manner to alternately contact the adjacent displacement yarn.

Abstract: A woven fabric useful in protective apparel made from yarn components comprising a body fabric yarn component, a synthetic ripstop yarn component having at least 20% greater tensile strength than the body fabric yarn component, and a cut resistant yarn component comprising a yarn having a synthetic staple-fiber sheath and inorganic core, the body fabric yarn component, the ripstop yarn component, and cut-resistant yarn components all being comprised of at least one yarn and each yarn component distinguished from the adjacent yarn component by interweaving orthogonal yarn components.

Abstract: A composite label at least partly formed from two separate fabrics, on one face of which an image is provided over which the other fabric is positioned, this consisting of a mesh which enables said image to be seen through it from the outside of the label.

Abstract: Described is a loop pile material composed of a textile backing composed of a knit or woven and bound-in loop-forming pile yarns, whereinthe textile backing consists of a multifilament hybrid yarn composed of at least 2 varieties A and B of filaments with or without cofilaments C, wherein said filaments A are textured,the melting point of said filaments B being at least 20.degree. C., preferably at least 40.degree. C., in particular at least 80.degree. C., below the melting point of filaments A,the weight ratio of the filaments A:B being within the range from 20:80 to 80:20, preferably from 40:60 to 60:40, and the multifilament hybrid yarn additionally containing up to 40% by weight of cofilaments C, and the pile consists of loops with a length of 1 to 4 mm formed from a multifilament yarn having a yarn linear density of 30 to 200 dtex and filament linear densities of 5 to 25 dtex and/or from monofilaments having a linear density of 20 to 70 dtex.

Abstract: A slide fastener chain has a plurality of spaced separating regions along which the slide fastener chain can be separated or torn to slide fastener lengths one after another by hand without a cutting device. Each separating region extends transversely across the fastener chain and is at least partially thinned or recessed by fusing the thermoplastic synthetic materials of the fastener stringers at the prospective separating region.

Abstract: The invention provides a pad for protecting against injuries caused by moving chain saw blades. A plurality of superposed woven composite fabrics formed of a tough synthetic resin are firmly held together at the periphery of the pad. Each composite fabric comprises at least two superposed fabric layers which are interwoven into a single layer along spaced substantially parallel strips. The interwoven strips allow the number of fabric layers to be reduced without reducing the effectiveness of the protective pad.

Abstract: A woven multiconductor cable and method of making the same includes at least two longitudinal sections arranged in a side-by-side manner having a plurality of elongated conductors and a cut-line formed between the sections along which the filling strand of the woven cable may be cut along a desired length of the cable to separate the cable into individual sections which remain bound by alternate picks of the filling strand.

Abstract: The fabric is woven with a reinforced warp strip between the background section and the selvage to allow spreading out of the fabric without using needle rollers in the background section. The reinforced warp strip may be formed with a permanent strip portion which remains with the background section and a removable reinforced strip portion which can be severed from the fabric.

Abstract: A fabric web intended for the production of garment inserts for reinforcing shoulder, chest or lap parts of garments the web having a reinforced region comprising a double-cloth formed by two fabrics, each having a warp thread and a weft thread system, and a reinforcing thread warp or weft system between the two fabrics, the reinforcing threads having a stronger spring force than the warp and weft threads of the two fabrics. Threads of a fabric are interlaced with threads of the other fabric and/or reinforcing threads are interlaced with fabric threads. The physical characteristics of at least one system, e.g. spring force of the reinforcing threads or thread spacing or density, vary in a direction transverse to the length of the threads of such system to provide a spring force and resilience which varies across and/or along the web from the reinforced region toward another portion of the web.

Abstract: An additional, special warp thread system is woven into a web of woven material having a weft thread system and a warp thread system, the warp threads being arranged to have differing density in certain areas of the web for the purpose of increasing the structural rigidity. The additional warp thread system lies symmetrically with respect to the other warp thread system.
