A temporary ground covering for displacement on sandy, muddy or boggy ground. The covering includes a woven structure formed of warp and weft. The weave is such that each warp thread interlaces with the weft thread, following approximately half the intersections of the rows and columns of the weave. The warp thread is left in the remaining intersections for each warp thread to obtain at least one simple tight weave area followed by an area of floats. The alternation of the different areas causes contractions of the weft thread creating a significant relief of the obtained fabric. The covering includes flat threads over at least one part of the width of the woven structure on at least one of the surfaces. Each thread is taken, steadily or not, by weft threads placed at the end of the projections of the woven surface structure. |

Fiber-reinforced molding materials and a related method of manufacture are provided. The fiber-reinforced molding materials include a fiber-reinforced tape that is moldable into complex structures at relatively low pressures while having high fiber concentrations. The fiber-reinforced tape includes a plurality of discontinuous fiber segments extending unidirectionally within a thermoplastic matrix material. The fiber-reinforced tape can be interwoven into multiple woven panels that are consolidated to form a fiber-reinforced mat. The fiber-reinforced mat is suitable for a wide range of molding applications where high strength and light weight are desired, while accommodating a variety of reinforcing fibers and thermoplastic resins. |

The invention relates to a method for producing a towel, specifically a low twist towel, comprising the following steps: Z twisting a thick yarn and separately Z twisting a fine count yarn; unevenly S twisting the Z-twisted yarns to make the volume of the thick yarn more than that of the fine count; weaving the yarn to produce a fabric; processing the fabric with hot water to reduce inner tension in the yarn and make the fabric become fluffy. Fabric produced by this method can solve the dependency on PVA, reduce energy consumption and material consumption, and prevent water pollution. This method for producing a low twist towel is environmentally friendly, healthy, and energy saving. |

A process for weaving that can be implemented using just the hands as the loom and shuttle, a weaving material such as yarn, an instrument for cutting like nail clippers or a small pair of scissors, and an object for intermissions in the process such as a paper clip. The weaving process is simplified to the most basic concepts of weaving that can be enjoyed by any age group, such as, but not limited to, from five-year-old children to adults. The absence of barriers like cumbersome weaving looms permits the process to be practiced in a multitude of settings. |

An on-machine-seamable papermaker's fabric, which may be produced by modified endless weaving, includes machine-direction (MD) and cross-machine-direction (CD) yarns. When so produced, the MD yarns weave continuously back and forth between the two widthwise edges of the fabric, each time forming a seaming loop at one of the two widthwise edges. Interwoven with at least one of the two sides, top and bottom, of the seaming loops at one or both widthwise edges are at least two additional CD yarns. The additional CD yarns interweave with the top and/or bottom of the seaming loops in a leno weave, which keeps the seaming loops in a common position vertically relative to the plane of the papermakers fabric, locks the seaming loops into a desired position and orientation with their planes perpendicular to that of the papermaker's fabric. |

A woven carpet backing may include monofilament warp yarns and alternating monofilament and multifilament fill yarns. The yarns may be woven using a weave, such as a non-traditional weave, that places all of the multifilament fill yarns on the face of the fabric and all of the monofilament fill yarns on the back of the fabric. Monofilament fill yarns and multifilament fill yarns are overstuffed, thereby creating a coverage factor greater than one hundred percent. The invention results in a carpet backing with the appearance of a primary carpet backing on one side of the fabric and the appearance of a secondary carpet backing on the opposite side of the fabric. The need for a secondary carpet backing is eliminated by the woven carpet backing. |

Peter Edward Stevenson; Jeffrey W. Bruner |
Bonded composite open mesh structural textiles are formed of woven textile. The textile is formed from at least two, and preferably three, 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 polymer in yarn or other form which will encapsulate and bond yarns at the junctions to strengthen the junctions. The third component is an optional effect or bulking yarn. In the woven textile, a plurality of warp yarns are woven with a plurality of weft (fill) yarns. The weave preferably includes a half-cross or full-cross leno weave. At least a portion of the warp and weft yarns are first component load bearing yarns. The polymer component is used as required for the bonding properties necessary for the finished product, and especially to provide improved junction or joint strength. The effect or bulking yarns are used as warp and/or weft yarns and/or leno yarns as required to provide the desired bulk in the textile and relatively thick profile for the finished product. |

A conveyor belt is described having a woven fabric backing which includes staple fiber yarn and includes a twill weave with an inclination angle of 10.degree. to 70.degree. relative to the moving direction of the conveyor belt, and in which adjacent yarns have the same direction of lay. In the woven fabric backing the staple fiber yarn is provided as warp yarn, each of which has the same direction of lay in its longitudinal direction, and adjacent yarns of which are alternately S and Z twisted. Additionally, elements which support the tensile forces are arranged in the conveyor belt, the elements being arranged in a woven fabric or being sheathed as threads by staple fibers. Since the staple fiber yarn of the warp of the woven fabric backing extends diagonally over the entire width of the conveyor belt, an endless support results even when the belt runs over an edge, and an absolutely uniform vibration-free conveyor belt movement having a low noise level is achieved even when the belt passes over an edge. |

A method and apparatus for weaving a thick fabric. The method comprises the steps of providing a plurality of vertically stacked layers of textile weave, and weaving a set of wefts into the layers of textile weave. This weaving step, in turn, includes the steps of, for each of the plurality of layers, (i) forming a warp shed from the textile weave of the layer, and (ii) inserting one of the wefts into the formed warp shed. This weaving step is repeated a multitude of times to form the thick fabric. Each of the layers of textile weave forms a cloth fell; and the method of this invention further includes the step of vertically moving the layers of textile weave to position the cloth fell of each of the layers at a standard pre-selected weft inserting position when one of the wefts is inserted into the warp shed formed in that layer. |

A two-layer paper machine fabric comprising one machine direction yarn system and two cross-machine direction yarn systems. The yarn systems are interlaced in accordance with an 8-shaft weave repeat. The yarns of the cross-machine direction yarn systems are positioned in two layers in such a way that the number of yarns in the upper system is double as compared with the lower cross-machine direction yarn system. To achieve a stable fabric each machine direction yarn passes during one weave repeat over two yarns in the upper cross-machine direction yarn layer and under one yarn in the lower cross-machine direction yarn layer. The passage of each machine direction yarn is reverse as compared with the passages of adjacent yarns. The yarns of the upper cross-machine direction yarn system form floats extending alternately over two and four machine direction yarns and the yarns of the lower cross-machine direction yarn system form floats extending alternately over two and four machine direction yarns. The longer float of the upper cross-machine direction yarn is always in alignment with the shorter float of the lower cross-machine direction yarn, and vice versa. |
