<p>A method of producing a reinforced fabric including producing by a knitting or weaving process a ground fabric using ground yarns and incorporating into the ground fabric during the knitting or weaving process reinforcement yarns (10) in a predetermined pattern to form predetermined areas of reinforcement, the reinforcement yarn (10) being a stretch resistive yarn (11) coated with a weldable material (12), and subsequently exposing the fabric to a weldable condition in order to cause said weldable material (12) to weld to itself and to ground yarns with which it is in contact. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
