Abstract

Abstract Improved unidirectional webbing material having a low warp to fill weight ratio and comprised of specially coated and spaced generally parallel warp or carrier strands of a synthetic fiber such as fiber glass interwoven with and securely bonded to spaced groupings of glass fiber weft (fill) elements to provide a distortion resistant and rugged fabric useful for the reinforcement of molded plastic articles and the like.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 140 words
A UNIDIRECTIONAL DISTORTION RESISTANT AND RELATIVELY PLIANT GLASS FIBER WEBBING MATERIAL HAVING A LOW WARP TO FILL WEIGHT RATIO, SAID MATERIAL BEING COMPRISED OF A PLURALITY OF MULTI-FILAMENT SYNTHETIC FIBER WARP STRANDS SPACED FROM ONE ANOTHER BY ABOUT ONE-HALT INCH AND COATED WITH A UNIFORM BLOCKABLE COATING HAVING A THICKNESS OF 0.002 TO 0.004 INCHES, SAID COATING BEING THERMOPLASTIC AND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF VINYL CHLORIDE, VINYL ACETATE AND VINYL PYRROLIDENE POLYMERS; AND A PLURALITY OF GLASS FIBER FILL ELEMENTS WOVEN IN INTERSECTING CROSSWISE RELATIONSHIP TO SAID WARP STRANDS IN A FILL TO WARP WEIGHT RATIO OF 90% OR MORE, SAID FILL ELEMENTS COMPRISING WEFT BUNDLES OF GLASS FIBER ROVINGS COMPOSED OF UNCOATED FINE GLASS FIBER FILL ELEMENTS AND BEING BONDED TO SAID WARP STRANDS AT THEIR AREAS OF INTERSECTION THROUGH THE BLOCKABLE COATING ON THE WARP STRANDS.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 140 words
A UNIDIRECTIONAL DISTORTION RESISTANT AND RELATIVELY PLIANT GLASS FIBER WEBBING MATERIAL HAVING A LOW WARP TO FILL WEIGHT RATIO, SAID MATERIAL BEING COMPRISED OF A PLURALITY OF MULTI-FILAMENT SYNTHETIC FIBER WARP STRANDS SPACED FROM ONE ANOTHER BY ABOUT ONE-HALT INCH AND COATED WITH A UNIFORM BLOCKABLE COATING HAVING A THICKNESS OF 0.002 TO 0.004 INCHES, SAID COATING BEING THERMOPLASTIC AND SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF VINYL CHLORIDE, VINYL ACETATE AND VINYL PYRROLIDENE POLYMERS; AND A PLURALITY OF GLASS FIBER FILL ELEMENTS WOVEN IN INTERSECTING CROSSWISE RELATIONSHIP TO SAID WARP STRANDS IN A FILL TO WARP WEIGHT RATIO OF 90% OR MORE, SAID FILL ELEMENTS COMPRISING WEFT BUNDLES OF GLASS FIBER ROVINGS COMPOSED OF UNCOATED FINE GLASS FIBER FILL ELEMENTS AND BEING BONDED TO SAID WARP STRANDS AT THEIR AREAS OF INTERSECTION THROUGH THE BLOCKABLE COATING ON THE WARP STRANDS.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 16 words
A webbing material as set forth in claim 1 wherein said webbing is retiform in construction.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
A webbing material as set forth in claim 1 wherein the fill elements are covered with a separate moisture resistant coating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 33 words
A webbing material as set forth in claim 1 wherein the blockable coating surrounds the exterior surface of the warp strands so as to form an envelope therearound having a smooth exterior surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 19 words
A webbing material as set forth in claim 4 wherein the multi-fiber construction of the warp strands is twisted.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 145 words
In a unidirectional glass fiber webbing of the type having a set of warp strands and a set of weft strands that intersect said warp strands at intersections, the improvement wherein: the strands in one set are glass fiber rovings comprised of fine uncoated glass fiber elements and make up 90% or more of the total weight of the webbing; the strands in the other set are spaced relative to one another by about one-half inch, woven in intersecting cross-wise relationship to those in the one set, comprise multi-filament synthetic fiber, and are coated with a substantially uniform coating of thermoplastic material having a thickness of 0.002 to 0.004 inches and selected from the group consisting of vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate and vinyl pyrrolidene polymers; and the strands are bonded to one another at the intersections thereof through the blockable coating on said other set.
Claim 8
