Patent number: 5795835Abstract: Bonded composite knitted structural textiles are formed of knitted polymeric fibers. The textile is formed from at least two, and preferably three or four, polymeric components. The first component, or load bearing member, is a high tenacity, high modulus, low elongation mono- or multifilament yarn. The second component is a fusible polymer in yarn or other form which will encapsulate and bond adjacent load bearing yarns. The third component is an optional effect or bulking yarn. The fourth component is a conventional multifilament warp knit stitch forming yarn to form the ground structure of the knitted textile. Knitted textiles of the present invention may be formed by any conventional knitting technique, i.e., weft insertion warp knitting, warp insertion weft knitting, and warp and weft insertion knitting. At least a portion of the laid-in warp and/or weft yarns are first component load bearing yarns.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1996Date of Patent: August 18, 1998Assignee: The Tensar CorporationInventors: Jeffrey W.
