  • Patent number: 5240533
    Abstract: A structure based on velour fabric, having at least a first layer and a second layer and intermediate ribs connecting these layers provides a production-efficient, stable and nevertheless light-weight product. The velour fabric is made of a commercial yarn such as aramid fiber, carbon fiber, ceramic fiber or in particular glass fiber. The velour fabric is resin-hardened, wherein the intermediate ribs for rigid spacing elements between the first layer and the second layer.

  • Patent number: 5041324
    Abstract: A woven fabric structure impregnated with a hardened resin has first and second warp fabric sections, the second section comprising a plurality of pleats integrally joined to the first section by warp threads of the second section and interwoven with the weft threads of the first section. The fabric is of an industrial yarn such as aramide fiber, carbon fiber, ceramic fiber, glass fiber or a blend of such fibers.

  • Patent number: 4931345
    Abstract: A multiply fabric reinforcement structure includes fabric plies composed of yarns such as aramid fibers, carbon fibers, ceramic fibers or fiberglass, filling weft threads made from a polypropylene or polyamide thread group, and a resin which has been impregnated within the multiply fabric and cured.

  • Patent number: 4922968
    Abstract: A multiply fabric which can be used for reinforcement purposes and which has a length dimension, a width dimension and a thickness dimension, includes weft threads extending widthwise of the fabric and warp threads extending lengthwise of the fabric, the warp threads being woven with the weft threads so as to provide, in cross section perpendicular to the width dimension, a central web between opposite end portions, each of the opposite end portions having a central gap that divides each end portion into separated left and right flanges that can be bent apart.

  • Patent number: 4903737
    Abstract: A fabric which contains warp threads made of a delicate material is produced on a loom which includes a main reed and auxiliary end reeds at opposite ends of the main reed and which are independently operable with respect to the main reed. The warp threads made of delicate material are extended through the main reed and warp threads of a more robust material are extended through the auxiliary end reeds. As each filler (weft) thread is inserted in a shed the auxiliary end reeds are moved to beat the associated portions of the weft threads. Only after a plurality of weft threads have been inserted is the main reed moved to beat the associated portion of the weft threads, thereby reducing the frequency of movement between the dents of the main reed and the delicate warp threads and thereby reducing frictional destruction thereof.

  • Patent number: 4818580
    Abstract: A housing component part includes a multi-layer weave impregnated with resin. The upper weave layer has a very fine structure and the lower weave layer has a structure coarser than the upper weave layer. Tying fibers interconnect the upper and lower weaves to form a unit which is thoroughly impregnated with the resin. Because of the very fine structure of the upper weave layer, the outer surface of this layer is hard and forms a good surface for receiving an enamel thereon.
