Abstract
METALLIZED WOVEN FABRIC
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
This invention relates to the field of fabrics woven at least partially from metal wire and including areas of double layer fabric.
Tubular metal fabric is well-known in the art, but since the conventional fabric consists of a single tube formed of the entire double layer width of the fabric, the size of the tube is limited to the width of the fabric and cannot be reduced without destroying the tube. It is often necessary to produce irregular shaped double layer fabric for use in filters and the like. This cannot be done easily with the single tubular fabric of the prior art. The present invention overcomes these defects by providing an improved woven fabric including metal wire in at least one of the warp and weft directions. The fabric includes alternating areas of double and single weaving forming alternating areas of double layer or combined single layer fabric. These areas alternate in at least one of the warp and weft directions.

Description
10~2S70 BACKGROUN~ OF THE INVENTION
Fleld of the Inventton Thls lnvent10n relates to the field of woven fabrtc, and more partlcularly to the field of fabrics woven at least partTally from metai ; 5 wire and includlng areas of double layer fabric.
Descriptlon of the Prlor Art Tubular metal fabrlc Is well-known in the art, but slnce the conventlonal fabr7c consists of a slngle tube formed of the entire double layer width of the fabrlc, the slze of the tube Is llmlted to the wldth of the fabrlc and cannot be reduced wlthout destroylng the tube.
It Is often necessary to produce Irregular shaped double layer fabrlc for use In fllters and the ITke. Thts cannot be done easily with the slngle tubular fabric of the prlor art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, It Is an obJect of the present invention to provlde a double layer metalllc fabrlc whTch can be cut to a varlety of shapes wlthout destroylng the tubular structure of the fabric.
It Is a further obJect of the present invention to provide a fabrlc which consists of a plurallty of double layered areas separated by areas of a slngle comblned weave layer.
It Is a stlll further obJect of the present Inventlon to provtde a fabrlc composed of a plurallty of tubular areas alternatlng wlth areas of a slngle comblned weave layer, In whlch the areas alternate ` in elther the warp or the weft dlrectlon.
, 25 The present Inventlon fulfllls the above obJects and overcomes the llmitatlons of the prlor art by provldlng a metallic fabrlc whlch Is alternately double and slngle woven to provlde areas of double and slngle comblned layer. These areas may be alternated In elther the warp or the weft dlrectlon, or both. The fabrlc thus formed may Include , 30 a plurallty of tubular areas separated by single layer strlps, or a pattern of sealed pocket shaped areas surrounded on all sldes by slngle layered areas, or connected crosslng tubular areas surroundlng slngle layered squares.
. .
~Ofl2S70 The sizes of the double and single layered arsas may be selected independently of the width of the cloth. When desired, the fabric can be cut along the single layered areas in order to produce mater7al of complex shapes or even a single tube of fabrlc.
Addlttonally, the upper and lower walls of the tubes can be ~ven of different materials, for example, wires of different metals.
The single layered areas are formed of a combination of the two materlals.
If the fabric is formed of materials of dlfferent elastlcity, one or both of the cell walls wlll be convexly curved in the final product.
The fabrlc accordlng to the present Inventlon has numerous posslble uses. In fllter technology, flexible fllter hoses formed of the woven tubular fabric are more reslstant to mechanlcal stresses such as the vlbratlons Imposed In cleanlng the fllters than fllter hoses of the prlor art havlng welded seams. The above-descrlbed fabrlc havlng convexly curved tube walls can be used as a fllterlng materlal or as a porous contalner for other materlals. In accumulators, the active mass, for example, cadmlum powder In nlckel- admlum batterles, can be enclosed In the tubular areas of the fabrlc. Thls wlll result In a great reductlon of prlce, slnce the fabrlc of the present Inventlon can be produced much more cheaply than the perforated sheet metal presently used.

The Inventlon wlll now be descrlbed In detall wlth reference to the accompanylng drawlngs, In whlch:
Ftgure I Is a schematlc cross-sectlonal vlew of the fabrlc accordlng to the present Inventlon;
Flgure 2 Is a weavlng dlagram for the productlon of tubular - fabrlc with the tubes extendlng In the warp dlrectlon;
Flgure 3 Is a weavlng dlagram for the productlon of the comblned slngle layered area extendlng in the weft dtrectlon; and Flgure 4 Is a weavlng dlagram for the productlon of the double Iayer areas extendlng In the weft dlrectlon.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referrlng to Flgure 1, the fabrlc of the present Inventlon Includes ;
.. . . .
alternating areas of slngle weavlng formlng a combined slngle layer I and areas of double weavlng formTng a double layer area 2. The change in weaving can be effected In etther the warp or the weft directlon, causlng the production of tubular cells extending In the warp or weft dlrection. FabrTc formed of tubes extending In the weft dlrectlon can be more easily rolled up than fabrlc formed of tubes extending In the warp dlrectlon. If the weavlng alternates In both the warp and the weft dlrecttons, elther pocket shaped cells closed on all sides by combined slngle layer strlps, or squares of slngle layered materlal surrounded by connected crosslng tubes, are formed.
For produclng the above-described fabric, at least five weaving shafts are necessary. For the followlng examples, ~Ight shafts are used. The wlthdrawal of the warp wires Is always made In numerlcal sequence 1-8.
In order to form a fabrlc Includlng tubes runnlng In the warp dlrectlon, the weavlng process can be executed wlth the shafts In the ; sequence of posltlons shown in Flgure 2. The upper layer of the tubular sectlon Is formed by a four shaft twlll, and the bottom layer Is formed by a three shaft twlll.
` 20 Instead of such a modlfled double four shaft process, a double three shaft process can be used.
The weavlng dlagram of Flgure 3 shows the sequence of shaft posltlons for the productlon of a slngle layer area extending In the weft dlrectlon. Thls weave results In the productlon of an elght shaft fabrlc.
; For the productlon of the double layered tubular sectlons, the 'J, shafts are posltloned accordlng to the weavlng dl3gram of Flgure 4. Thls ` results In the productlon of two four shaft twllls.
In order to produce fabrlc havlng double and slngle layered areas alternatlng In both the warp and weft dlrectlons, the above-descrlbed we~ves are comblned.
~;
Obvlously, the fabrlc of the present Inventlon can be made up of ~ny of a great number of materlals. In partlcular, the present . .
Inventlon could be formed of a comblnatlon of metal and plastic thresds, such that one layer of the two layer areas would always be metal and the other layer would always be plastlc. Alternatively, the two layers could be formed of two dlfferent types of metal wlre.
from the foregolng, It can be readlly reallzed that thls Inventlon can assume various embodlments. Thus, It Is to be under-stood that the inventlon Is not IImlted to the speclflc embodlments descrlbed hereln, but Is to be llmlted only by the appended clalms.
