  • Patent number: 6004888
    Abstract: A fibrous sheet for structure reinforcement comprising a sheet layer of reinforcing continuous filament bundles (1) arranged parallelly spaced out from each other, auxiliary covering yarns (3, 4) arranged on both sides of the sheet layer in such a manner that each of the covering yarns intersects respective reinforcing filament bundles (1) while meandering along the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing filament bundles on at least one side of the sheet layer and auxiliary chain-stitching yarns (6) which interconnects the auxiliary covering yarns on one side of the sheet layer with the auxiliary covering yarns on the other side of the sheet layer through individual spaces among adjacent reinforcing filament bundles in a warp knitting structure.
