NON-WOVEN DOUBLE LAYER INDUSTRIAL TEXTILE ASSEMBLED FROM HEMMED PANELS

摘要

Nonwoven double layer industrial textiles comprising a plurality of interconnected selectively slit and profiled folded panels formed from suitable sheet or film materials. Each panel includes two fold regions having an array of slots and seaming loops. The folded panel is formed by folding each fold region toward the panel body, thereby providing seam loops and seam loop receiving openings, which are used to connect adjacent folded panels in a given layer of the textile. Two such layers are bonded together in overlapping relation such that outside free edges of any of the fold regions are returned and sealed interior to the double layer. Further panels composed of heat or wear resistant material can be connected to lateral outside edges of panels forming the textile.

主权项

1. A panel for use in construction of a non-woven industrial textile, the panel comprising:
a) an outer surface and an inner surface; b) first and second fold regions, the first fold region located at a first end of the panel, the second fold region located at a second end of the panel, each fold region comprising:
i) an outer edge of the panel;ii) an edge region;iii) a column of loop strips and slots, the column oriented parallel to the outer edge and set adjacent the edge region; andiv) a fold line substantially midway through the column of loop strips and slots, oriented parallel to the outer edge; and c) a body region between the first and second fold regions; wherein:
the inner surface of the body region comprises a plurality of protrusions, with a land area between each protrusion;the panel is folded along each fold line such that each edge region is oriented towards the inner surface of the panel, thereby forming a folded panel in which each loop strip forms a seam loop, and each slot forms a seam loop-receiving opening for receipt of a seam loop of an adjacent folded panel; andat least one slot is dimensioned to receive at least one of the protrusions.
