A novel reinforcement system for maximizing tensile strength and modulus of elasticity per ply for composite systems has one or more pockets with a first pocket edge, a second pocket edge, a pocket front surface, and a pocket rear surface. The pocket front surface and the pocket rear surface each have a pocket cross-stitch that perpendicularly traverses the pocket. The pocket traverses the fabric parallel and adjacent to the first fabric edge and the second fabric edge in a warp, or 0 degree, or x-axis direction. The pockets contain one or more fiber tows with a plurality of filaments in a stack. |

1. A novel reinforcement fabric (100) system for maximizing tensile strength and modulus of elasticity per ply for composite systems comprising:
(a) a first fabric edge seam (210) disposed on a first fabric edge (220) and a second fabric edge seam (230) disposed on a second fabric edge (240), said first fabric edge seam (210) traverses and binds the fabric (100) parallel and adjacent to the first fabric edge (220), said second fabric edge seam (230) traverses and binds the fabric (100) parallel to and adjacent to the second fabric edge (240), said first fabric edge (220) and second fabric edge (240) traverse the fabric (100) in the direction of an X-axis (0 degrees) (500); (b) a pocket (300) comprising a first pocket edge (320), a second pocket edge (340), a pocket front surface (350), and a pocket rear surface (360), said pocket (300) comprising a first pocket seam (310) disposed on the first pocket edge (320), said first pocket seam (310) comprising a stitching (370) in a plane defined by the X-axis (0 degrees) (500) and a Z-axis (520) alternatingly attaching the pocket front surface (350) to the pocket rear surface (360) via the stitching (370), said first pocket seam (310) traverses the fabric (100) parallel and adjacent to the first pocket edge (320), said pocket (300) comprising a second pocket seam (330) disposed on the second pocket edge (340), said second pocket seam (330) comprising a stitching (370) in a plane defined by the X-axis (0 degrees) (500) and the Z-axis (520) alternatingly attaching the pocket front surface (350) to the pocket rear surface (360) via the stitching (370), said second pocket seam (330) traverses the fabric (100) parallel and adjacent to the second pocket edge (340), said pocket front surface (350) comprises a pocket cross-stitch (380), said pocket cross-stitch (380) perpendicularly traverses the pocket (300) with respect to the first pocket seam (310) and the second pocket seam (330) in a direction of a Y-axis or 90 degrees (510), said pocket rear surface (360) comprises a pocket cross-stitch (380), said pocket cross-stitch (380) perpendicularly traverses the pocket (300) with respect to the first pocket seam (310) and the second pocket seam (330) in the direction of the Y-axis or 90 degrees (510), said pocket cross-stitch (380) comprises a stitch first end (382) attached to the first pocket seam (310) and a stitch second end (384) attached to the second pocket seam (330), wherein said pocket (300) traverses the fabric (100) parallel and adjacent to the first fabric edge (220) and the second fabric edge (240) in a warp, or 0 degree, or X-axis (500) direction; and (c) a fiber tow (400) comprising a plurality of filaments (410) disposed in a stack (420), wherein the fiber tow (400) is disposed lengthways in the direction of the X-axis (0 degrees) (500) in the pocket (300). |
