Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved artificial turf surface layer or the like having more resiliency compared with an existing artificial turf while the resiliency is maintained even after long hours of use. SOLUTION: The artificial turf surface layer 1 has a flexible backing member 3 and parallel rows 5 of artificial ribbons 7 equivalent to blades of grass and extending upwardly from the backing member3. The rows 5 of ribbons are spaced with an interval A of 1-1/2 to 2-1/4 inches from each other. The length L of the ribbon 7 extending upwardly from the backing member 3 is at least twice as long as the interval A between the rows 5. On the backing material 3, a relatively thick particular layer 9 is provided so as to support the ribbon 7 to be positioned almost vertically on the backing material 3. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
A sunshade includes: a support frame; and a canopy connected to the support frame and including a light-transmissible fabric sheet of undyed yarns and an opaque enamel coating coated on at least one side of the fabric sheet. A method of preparing a canopy includes: providing a light-transmissible fabric sheet of undyed yarns; coating an enamel composition on at least one side of the light-transmissible fabric sheet to form an opaque enamel coating on the light-transmissible fabric sheet; and drying the opaque enamel coating.
Abstract:
A sheet of material suitable for roofing or industrial wrapping applications has an anti-skid surface formed by ridges of twisted tapes. The sheet comprises a woven scrim of warp tapes and weft tapes. Some of the tapes are twisted about their longitudinal axis, for example about (25) to (400) revolutions per meter, to form ridges having a height substantially greater than the thickness of the tapes. The ridges impart an anti-skid surface to the sheet. The scrim is bonded to a coating or film to make the sheet waterproof.
Abstract:
A method of forming a fabric for an air-bag, the method comprising providing a plurality of yarns, each yarn being formed from a plurality of individual fibres; applying an activatable additive or coating to each yarn, the additive or coating initially not being activated and wherein, prior to activation, the additive or coating presents little or no impedance to the relative movement of the fibres within the yarn and, following activation, the additive or coating binds fibres within the yarn to one another to prevent or hinder relative movement of the fibres in the yarn with respect to one another; and passing the yarns through an activation zone including a compressing component which applies a compressive force to the yarns, the additive or coating being activated as the yarns pass through the activation zone so that the yarns each have a substantially flat configuration.
Abstract:
A two-layer secondary carpet backing including a woven scrim layer and a fibrous layer is described. The woven scrim layer is characterized as having a low open area and a flat weave. The two-layer secondary backing is capable of having a non-abrasive, textile back surface. The secondary carpet backing is also capable of having a construction that permits high carpet manufacturing speeds due to high air permeability and is capable of providing high dimensional stability, seam strength, and delamination strength to tufted carpets made therefrom.
