Appl. No.:

10/968541

Inventors:

Ashok Bhatnagar - Chester VA, US
Elizabeth Stroud Parrish - Blackstone VA, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

D03D 15/08

US Classification:

139383R, 139420 A, 139DIG 1, 442206, 442207, 442181, 442135, 28140, 428911

Abstract:

Bi-directional and multi-axial fabrics, fabric composites, ballistically resistant assemblies thereof, and the methods by which they are made. The fabrics are comprised of sets of strong, substantially parallel, unidirectional yarns lying in parallel planes, one above the other , with the direction of the yarns in a given plane rotated at an angle to the direction of the yarns in adjacent planes; and one or more sets of yarns having lower strength and higher elongation interleaved with the strong yarns. The fabrics of the invention provide superior ballistic effectiveness compared to ordinary woven and knitted fabrics but retain the ease of manufacture on conventional looms and knitting machines.

International Classification:

B32B 3/00

US Classification:

428 60

Abstract:

Tubular structures formed of helically wound layers of a composite fabric structure. The fabric structure has an inwardly facing layer in the form of a fabric base. The fabric base comprises a network of high tenacity fibers. The composite fabric structure also includes an outwardly facing layer formed of rubber. The inwardly facing layer and the outwardly facing layer are bonded together, preferably through the use of a bonding layer. The tubular structure may be used as a stand along product, as an antichafing cover for a rope, as a liner for a pipe, or the like.
