Abstract: A machine for bonding a layer of olefin yarn to a preference layer of nonwoven olefin material to form a laminated fabric is described. The machine includes an entry station whereat the layer of olefin yarns are oriented prior to being received on a tenter frame. The olefin yarns are conveyed to a spray station whereat one surface is coated with a solvent based adhesive and partially dried. The olefin yarns are then conveyed to a storage location for non-woven olefin material whereat it is initially bonded to the non-woven olefin material. From there it is conveyed to a bonding station where the layers are bonded together. Thereafter, the laminated fabric is automatically stacked.

Abstract: A laminated fabric includes a layer of woven olefin yarns bonded to a layer of non-woven olefin material to form a unitary fabric structure.
