CANVASS REINFORCEMENT

摘要

A fabric for reinforcement of canvasses having a plastic coating includes a warp and a weft which form meshes. The meshes have a maximum dimension ranging from 5 cm to 30 cm with at least one of the warp or the weft being formed by a strip which comprises a matrix of a thermoplastic material which is adherable to the plastic coating of the canvasses. The strip includes two or more elongated metal members and has a cross-sectional average thickness ranging from 0.50 mm to 3.0 mm and a cross-sectional width ranging from 3 mm to 25 mm. The metal members provide the canvasses sufficient resistance against the cutting action of a knife or against the action of a pair of shears.
