20080313978 | STORM PANEL FOR PROTECTING WINDOWS AND DOORS DURING HIGH WINDS - A storm panel of high strength fabric is constructed, reinforced, and installed in such a way as to comply with the building codes as a large missile impact system. When not in use, the fabric can be rolled and stored and placed in an attractive cover without disassembly. | 12-25-2008 |
20080313980 | ZIPPERED STORM PANEL SYSTEM FOR WINDOWS AND DOORS - A storm panel system for protecting the interior of a building having a fabric panel of a size and shape as to extend across a selected door or window is provided. A closure system accessible from the outside removably attaches the fabric panel to the outer surface of a building surrounding a window or door opening. The fabric panel has at least one access opening which is selectively closeable at the user's election. The selectively closeable access opening allows access through the opening to the outside to attach and release the panel from the structure by a person from inside the structure. Thus a user can access the exterior of building to install, adjust or remove the fabric panel, before during or after a storm. | 12-25-2008 |
20090061714 | Hurricane resistant composites - A composite flexible fabric is employed as a covering for an opening of a building, such as a window or door. The composite fabric protects the opening from hurricane force winds and associated flying objects. The composite fabric is formed from at least one layer of a fabric comprised of high tenacity fibers and at least one ultraviolet radiation resistant layer which is attached to the high tenacity fiber fabric. The UV resistant layer limits transmission of both UVA and UVB rays preferably to less than about 10% of the radiation incident upon such layer. Preferably, the UV resistant layer is a woven fabric, and the layer of high tenacity fibers is a woven fabric of extended chain polyethylene fibers. An adhesive layer may be used to enhance bonding between the fabric layer and the UV resistant layer. | 03-05-2009 |
20090278281 | METHOD FOR FORMING A PUNCTURE AND ABRASION RESISTANT LAMINATED FABRIC AND THREE DIMENSIONAL BALLISTIC RESISTANT PRODUCTS THEREFROM - A puncture and abrasion resistant laminated fabric and ballistic resistant product is provided. The laminated fabric includes a woven fabric base sheet having warp and weft yarns, with at least 50 percent of the fibers in the warp yarns being formed of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. A first thermoplastic film formed of EVA is bonded by heat and pressure applied by a hydraulic press to at least one of the sides of the fabric base sheet to form a film/fabric layer. Multiple layers are stacked with release paper between the layers to form multiple film/fabric layers simultaneously. Multiple layers of the film/fabric without release paper between the layers are also introduced to a molding operation to form three dimensional ballistic resistant articles such as body armor or helmets. | 11-12-2009 |
20100068963 | PUNCTURE AND ABRASION RESISTANT, AIR AND WATER IMPERVIOUS LAMINATED FABRIC - A puncture and abrasion resistant, air and water impervious laminated fabric is provided. The laminated fabric includes a woven fabric base layer having warp and weft yarns, with at least 50 percent of the fibers in the warp yarns being formed of high performance material. A first thermoplastic film is bonded by heat and pressure to at least one of the sides of the fabric base layer. The first thermoplastic film is formed of ethylene vinyl acetate. A second thermoplastic film is bonded by heat and pressure to the first thermoplastic film on at least one of sides of the fabric. The second thermoplastic film is formed from either high density polyethylene or low density polyethylene. | 03-18-2010 |
20100089522 | PUNCTURE AND ABRASION RESISTANT, AIR AND WATER IMPERVIOUS LAMINATED FABRIC - A puncture and abrasion resistant, air and water impervious laminated fabric is provided. The laminated fabric includes a woven fabric base layer having warp and weft yarns, with at least 50 percent of the fibers in the warp yarns being formed of high performance material. A first thermoplastic film is bonded by heat and pressure to at least one of the sides of the fabric base layer. The first thermoplastic film is formed of ethylene vinyl acetate. A second thermoplastic film is bonded by heat and pressure to the first thermoplastic film on at least one of sides of the fabric. The second thermoplastic film is formed from either high density polyethylene or low density polyethylene. | 04-15-2010 |
20110091682 | PROTECTIVE COVER FOR SLINGS, ROPES, CABLES AND THE LIKE - A protective cover formed substantially of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene yarns and having first and second opposing edges connected by a high shear strength hook and loop fastener system. The high shear strength hook and loop fastener system includes areas of a plurality of high shear strength hooks along opposing edges of the cover and an intermediate disposable strip having a plurality of loops on both sides of the strip configured to be received between the areas having the plurality of hooks. The cover wraps around the sling so that a portion of the first edge and second edge overlap with the intermediate disposable strip to form the releasable connection. When the edges are released, the intermediate strip may be replaced, when worn, by a new intermediate strip with the remainder of the cover and fastener system being reusable. | 04-21-2011 |
20120118881 | FABRIC CLOSURE WITH AN ACCESS OPENING FOR CARGO CONTAINERS - A fabric closure, and enclosure, are provided for cargo containers, including a fabric panel formed of high-strength yarns, and a selectively closeable opening formed in the fabric panel for access therethrough, the selectively closeable opening having a substantially vertical opening, and a slide fastener for closure thereof. | 05-17-2012 |
20120118882 | FABRIC CLOSURE WITH AN ACCESS OPENING FOR CARGO CONTAINERS - A fabric closure, and enclosure, are provided for cargo containers, including a fabric panel formed of high-strength yarns, and a pair of selectively closeable openings formed in the fabric panel for access therethrough, the selectively closeable openings having a substantially vertical opening, and a slide fastener for closure thereof. | 05-17-2012 |
20120168285 | LIGHTWEIGHT REINFORCED CONVEYOR BELT STRUCTURE - Conveyor belts formed of a composite fabric structure. The fabric structure has a base reinforcing layer made of a network that includes high tenacity fibers. The composite fabric structure also includes a surface layer formed of rubber. The base layer and the surface layer are bonded together, preferably through the use of a bonding layer. | 07-05-2012 |
20130240519 | FABRIC CLOSURE WITH AN ACCESS OPENING FOR CARGO CONTAINERS - A fabric closure, and enclosure, are provided for cargo containers, including a fabric panel formed of high-strength yarns, and a selectively closeable opening formed in the fabric panel for access therethrough, the selectively closeable opening having a substantially vertical opening, and a slide fastener for closure thereof. | 09-19-2013 |
