Abstract:
A fabric for reinforcing rubber or rubber-like belts, the fabric comprising weft cords interlaced with and extending transversely of warp cords to retain the latter in parallel relation, the warp cords being constituted of synthetic spun yarn having no greater than two single ends plied together. The foregoing abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
Abstract:
A fabric for reinforcing pneumatic tires conventionally woven from metal warp cords composed of individual wires or filaments having a diameter greater than 0.003 inches, and weft cords composed of non-metallic material. A tabby, preferably composed of square woven textile cord fabric, is cemented along the leading and trailing edges of the wire cord fabric for maintaining the width of the wire cord fabric uniform throughout its length.
Abstract:
A safety belt web is a woven fabric band including nylon warp threads and warp threads of lesser elongation than the nylon threads, the nylon warp threads being disposed outside the low elongation warp threads so that the latter is unexposed and the low elongation threads are under tension in the relaxed web and advantageously linear. The elongation properties and amount of low elongation warp threads are such that their maximum elongation does not exceed 20 percent, at a total web tension of about 500 kilograms. In one form of the belt web, top and bottom sets of warps and a filler which alternately interweaves successive upper and lower warp groups form top and bottom woven webs, the longitudinal lines of the filler transfer points dividing the space between the upper and lower webs into longitudinal passageways along which extend core threads of less elongation and less weave crimp than the warps. The core threads may be formed of similar filaments or of filaments having different elongation to load characteristics and are preferably linear.
Abstract:
Continuous filament nylon of from 15 to 40 denier has been wrapped and twisted around a cotton core during spinning to produce yarns which are superior in uniformity, strength, and strength variability and can be spun at much higher speeds than the cotton control.
