Publication number: 20150337467Abstract: A composite fabric, suitable for geotextile use, is manufactured by obtaining a web of metal material consisting of a plurality individual strands of metal that are substantially parallel to each other, are substantially unidirectionally oriented, and have not undergone any carding, garneting, lapping, or needle punching processing, and wherein the individual strands of metal have not been cut to any particular length, and obtaining a scrim layer having a porous, open woven configuration. The web of metal material is attached to the scrim layer to form the composite fabric material. The attachment may be by needle punching the web of metal material to the scrim layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2015Publication date: November 26, 2015Inventors: Kurt H.

Patent number: 6919117Abstract: A composite nonwoven fabric comprising multiple layers of a web formed from a blended mixture of metal fibers and nonmetal fibers is provided. The metal fibers preferably have a rough outer surface with irregular shaped cross-sections that vary along their length. The fibers of adjacent layers of the web material are interengaged in a needlepunching step. The composite nonwoven fabrics of the invention, which have very good isotropic strength. In a preferred embodiment, the composite nonwoven fabric is employed as a floor buffing pad for use with an electric floor buffing apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2002Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Global Material Technologies, IncorporatedInventors: Terrence P. Kane, Kurt H. Schild, III

Patent number: 5972814Abstract: A reinforced nonwoven metal fabric is disclosed. A mass of loose metal fibers is processed through suitable textile apparatus to result in a metal fiber web, which is then lapped to form a multi-layered structure. This structure is then formed into a metal fabric via needle-punching. A suitable backing is then introduced during or after the needle-punch process, resulting in a reinforced nonwoven metal fabric having superior strength and durability.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1997Date of Patent: October 26, 1999Assignee: Global Material Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kurt H.
