Abstract: A protective layer, in particular an anti-vandalism protective layer, for car seats, car roofs, convertible tops, car tarpaulins, tents, supporting air parts, wall linings, shatter-proof walls, and bullet-proof vests is comprised of a cover layer, a cut resisting material layer of cut resisting fibers, such as aromatic polyamide fibers, polyethylene fibers spun by the gel-spin process or glass fibers, a sheathed wire of a diameter of 0.1 to 2 mm contained in a threads which protrude out of the plane of the cut resisting layer and toward the cover layer, and a textile non-woven layer applied to one side of the cut resisting material layer by needling and then attached to the cover layer by adhesive bonding.

Abstract: A roof for vehicles, particularly convertibles: A roof material including an upper fabric layer, a lower fabric layer, a rubberizing layer arranged between the upper and lower fabric. Possibly a ceiling inner lining is arranged below the roof material. A protective layer is arranged on the lower fabric layer and/or on the top side of the ceiling inner lining. The protective layer consists of a cut resistant material of cut-proof fibers such as aromatic polyamide fibers, polyethylene fibers spun by the gel-spinning process, or glass fibers. A wire is in at least one system of the threads of the cut resistant material. A textile nonwoven layer is applied, by needling, on at least one side or both sides of the protective layer.

Abstract: A roof material for motor vehicles includes an upper fabric, a lower fabric and a rubber layer arranged between them. The upper fabric includes polyacrylonitrile warp and filling threads. The warp threads are endless filaments (multifilaments). The upper fabric has a protective, polymeric coating on its top side. The rubber layer includes two rubber layers with an intermediate layer of high-strength material.
