A fabric reinforcement for use with synthetic plastics material to produce a composite article is shaped to exhibit a tubular portion (55) having a longitudinal axis (59), which can be curved, and at least one flange (57) extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis (59). Using up to several interlinked tubular portions (55, 56) and a plurality of flanges (57, 58) gives wide possibilities for the shape of the fabric reinforcing elements produced. Woven or knitted fabrics can be used. |
