MULTI-NEEDLE MACHINE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING REINFORCED MATERIALS

摘要

This relates to the manufacturing of reinforced materials, such as reinforced cellular materials or reinforced textiles, for example. Reinforcement is achieved by including a textile semi-finished product into the material to be reinforced, by providing the semi-finished product at the rear side of the material in a zigzag or wave-like manner and then pulling the semi-finished product through the material by a plurality of needles. Thus, the manufacturing process may be performed in a time saving manner.

1. Method for producing reinforced cellular materials, reinforced textiles, and combinations thereof, the method comprising:
guiding a plurality of needles through a material to be reinforced, such that the individual needles penetrate a rear surface of the material; arranging a semi-finished textiles product in a non-linear manner on the side of the rear surface of the material to be reinforced; inserting the semi-finished textiles product into the individual needles; withdrawing the plurality of needles from the material, to draw a respective portion of the semi-finished textiles product by each one of the needles into the material in each case.
