Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Insektenschutzgitter gemäß Patentanspruch 1, umfassend einen Rahmen und ein mittels des Rahmens aufgespanntes Gewebe.The present invention relates to an insect screen according to claim 1, comprising a frame and a fabric spanned by the frame.
Abschließend betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Geweben für Insektenschutzgitter, umfassend die Schritte a) Bereitstellen von Fäden als Kettfäden und Schussfäden, b) Weben eines Gewebes mittels der Kettfäden und Schussfäden und c) Erhitzen des Gewebes auf eine Temperatur, die höher als der Schmelzpunkt der Klebemittel und geringer als der Schmelzpunkt des Kerns ist, zum Generieren von stoffschlüssigen Verbindungen zwischen den Kettfäden und den Schussfäden an ihren Knotenpunkten.Finally, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing insect screen meshes, comprising the steps of a) providing threads as warp threads and weft threads, b) weaving a fabric by means of the warp threads and weft threads, and c) heating the fabric to a temperature higher than the melting point of the adhesives and less than the melting point of the core is for generating cohesive bonds between the warp yarns and the weft yarns at their junctions.
Insektenschutzgitter werden hinter öffenbaren Fenstern eingesetzt. Sie ermöglichen ein Öffnen des Fensters, beispielsweise zum Lüften, ohne dass Insekten in den Raum eindringen können. In der Regel wird ein Gewebe in einen geeigneten Rahmen eingespannt, der hinter dem Fensterrahmen montiert wird. Im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung werden unter dem Begriff Gewebe manuell oder maschinell gefertigte Erzeugnisse der Weberei aus mindestens zwei, insbesondere rechtwinklig oder nahezu rechtwinklig, gekreuzten Fadensystemen verstanden. Generell besteht die Anforderung, dass das Gewebe insgesamt eine möglichst hohe Durchlässigkeit für Licht und Luft, nicht jedoch für Insekten bietet und dabei möglichst unsichtbar ist.Insect screens are used behind openable windows. They allow the window to be opened, for example for ventilation, without insects being able to penetrate into the room. As a rule, a fabric is clamped in a suitable frame, which is mounted behind the window frame. For the purposes of the present invention, the term tissue is understood as meaning manually or mechanically produced products of the weaving mill comprising at least two, in particular at right angles or at right angles, crossed thread systems. In general, there is a requirement that the fabric as a whole maximum permeability to light and air, but not to insects offers and is as invisible as possible.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Insektenschutzgitter und ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Geweben für Insektenschutzgitter der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, um die mit dem Stand der Technik verbundenen Nachteile zu vermeiden.The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an insect screen and a method for producing tissues for insect screens of the type mentioned in order to avoid the disadvantages associated with the prior art.
Die Sichtbarkeit von Geweben für Insektenschutzgitter hängt im Wesentlichen von Verfensterungen der Maschen bei der Herstellung des Gewebes, von Flüssigkeitsanlagerungen an die Fäden des Gewebes in Einbausituation und von der Farbe der Fäden ab.The visibility of insect screen meshes depends mainly on window meshes during fabric manufacture, fluid build-up on fabric threads in the installation situation, and on the color of the threads.
Gemäß der vorliegenden Offenbarung wird die auf den Faden gerichtete Aufgabe mit einem Faden der eingangs genannten Art gelöst, dessen Beschichtung hydrophobe Abstoßmittel umfasst.According to the present disclosure, the object directed to the thread is achieved with a thread of the type mentioned above, the coating of which comprises hydrophobic repelling agents.
Mit großem Vorteil ist der Faden des erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitters automatisch mit dem für dessen Verarbeitung benötigten Klebemittel ausgestattet. Der Faden gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitter erlaubt ein lokal begrenztes Verkleben von Kettfäden und Schussfäden an Knotenpunkten des Gewebes. Ein globales Applizieren eines Klebemittels in Form einer wässrigen Lösung, welches zum Verfenstern von Maschen führen kann, wird erfindungsgemäß vermieden. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Wahl eines wärmeaktivierbaren Klebemittels ist die Handhabung des Fadens in einem deaktivierten, nicht klebrigen Zustand, der erfindungsgemäß bei allen natürlichen Umgebungstemperaturen vorliegt, völlig problemlos. Die Aktivierung des Klebemittels erfolgt auf denkbar einfache Art und Weise, nämlich durch Erhitzen. Über die Temperatur lässt sich somit sehr genau steuern, wann der Faden gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitter klebeaktiviert beziehungsweise deaktiviert ist. Hierzu erweist es sich als erfindungsgemäß besonders vorteilhaft, dass der Kern einen höheren Schmelzpunkt als die Klebemittel aufweist. Somit können die Klebemittel aufgeschmolzen und mithin klebeaktiviert werden, jedoch ohne dass der Kern schmilzt oder substanziell erweicht, um ein Reißen des Fadens beim Verkleben zu verhindern. Da die Temperatur eine sehr gut beherrschbare Prozessgröße ist, kann die industrielle Fertigung des Fadens und auch des Gewebes unter einfachen und damit kostengünstigen Bedingungen durchgeführt werden. Von der Erfindung umfasst sind Beschichtungen, die den Faden vollständig ummanteln, aber auch solche, die als zur Längsachse des Fadens parallele Streifen oder entlang des Umfangs des Fadens verlaufende Ringe endlicher Breite ausgebildet sind. Selbst diskrete, punktartige Beschichtungsmuster sind erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen. Der Faden gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitter ist besonders effizient zu einem möglichst unsichtbaren Gewebe für Insektenschutzgitter verarbeitbar.With great advantage, the thread of the insect screen according to the invention is automatically equipped with the required for its processing adhesive. The thread according to the insect screen according to the invention allows a localized bonding of warp threads and weft threads at nodes of the fabric. A global application of an adhesive in the form of an aqueous solution, which can lead to the fencing of mesh, is avoided according to the invention. The inventive choice of a heat-activatable adhesive, the handling of the thread in a deactivated, non-sticky state, which is present according to the invention at all natural ambient temperatures, completely problem-free. The activation of the adhesive takes place in a very simple way, namely by heating. About the temperature can thus be very accurate control when the thread is adhesively activated or deactivated according to the insect screen according to the invention is. For this purpose, it proves to be particularly advantageous according to the invention that the core has a higher melting point than the adhesives. Thus, the adhesives can be melted and thus tack-activated, but without the core melting or substantially softening to prevent tearing of the thread during bonding. Since the temperature is a very well controllable process size, the industrial production of the thread and also the fabric can be carried out under simple and thus cost-effective conditions. The invention encompasses coatings which completely cover the thread, but also those which are formed as strips parallel to the longitudinal axis of the thread or rings of finite width running along the circumference of the thread. Even discrete, dot-like coating patterns are provided according to the invention. The thread according to the insect screen according to the invention is particularly efficient for an invisible as possible tissue for insect screens processed.
Mit großem Vorteil umfasst die Beschichtung erfindungsgemäß hydrophobe Abstoßmittel. Derartige Abstoßmittel verhindern das Anlagern von Luftfeuchtigkeit und Wassertropfen an dem Faden, wodurch dieser trocken bleibt. Wird der Faden seiner erfindungsgemäßen Bestimmung zugeführt, nämlich zum Herstellen von Geweben für Insektenschutzgitter, unterbinden die hydrophoben Abstoßmittel ein Verfenstern von Maschen durch Wassertropfen, so dass das Gewebe selbst bei hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit oder Niederschlag unsichtbar bleibt.With great advantage, the coating according to the invention comprises hydrophobic repellent. Such repellents prevent the accumulation of humidity and water droplets on the thread, whereby it remains dry. If the thread is supplied to its determination according to the invention, namely for the manufacture of fabrics for insect screens, the hydrophobic repelling agents prevent the stitching of stitches by water drops, so that the fabric remains invisible even at high humidity or precipitation.
Die Beschichtung kann auch Farbmittel umfassen. Durch die Zugabe von Farbmitteln kann die Farbe des Fadens bei dessen Herstellung definiert werden. Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass Gewebe für Insektenschutzgitter bei einem Durchblicken von einem Betrachter als weniger störend wahrgenommen werden, wenn sie eine dunkle Farbe aufweisen. Insofern ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Faden, aus dem Gewebe für Insektenschutzgitter hergestellt werden, von dunkler Farbe ist.The coating may also include colorants. By adding colorants, the color of the thread can be defined during its production. It is well known that insect screen meshes are perceived by the viewer to be less distracting when viewed through a dark color. So it's special advantageous if the thread from which fabric for insect screens are made, is dark in color.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung enthalten der Kern einen Polyester, insbesondere Polyethylenterephthalat (PET), und die Beschichtung als Klebemittel ein Polyolefin, insbesondere Polyethylen (PE). PET und PE sind in der Lage, eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung einzugehen. Infolgedessen ist die Beschichtung unlösbar mit dem Kern verbunden, so dass die Beschichtung, beispielsweise bei einem starken Krümmen oder Abknicken des Fadens, nicht abblättert. Die erfindungsgemäße Funktionalität des Fadens bleibt somit im Prinzip unendlich lange erhalten. Des Weiteren erfüllt das Stoffpaar PET und PE vorzüglich die obige Bedingung hinsichtlich der Schmelzpunkte, da PET einen Schmelzpunkt größer 250°C aufweist, PE aber bereits ab 130°C schmilzt. Eine Prozesstemperatur zum Verkleben der Kettfäden und Schussfäden des Gewebes ist deshalb mit Vorteil aus einem durch die beiden Schmelzpunkte abgeschlossenen Intervall zu wählen. Das in dieser Ausführungsform gewählte Stoffpaar PET und PE eignet sich hervorragend, um den erfindungsgemäßen Faden mittels Koextrusion von Kern und Beschichtung herzustellen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention The invention comprises the core of a polyester, in particular polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the coating as an adhesive polyolefin, in particular polyethylene (PE). PET and PE are able to make a material connection. As a result, the coating is inextricably bonded to the core, so that the coating does not peel off, for example, in the case of a strong curving or kinking of the thread. The inventive functionality of the thread thus remains in principle for an infinitely long time. Furthermore, the pair of PET and PE excellently meets the above melting point condition, since PET has a melting point greater than 250 ° C, but PE melts as low as 130 ° C. A process temperature for bonding the warp threads and weft threads of the fabric is therefore to be chosen advantageously from a closed by the two melting points interval. The fabric pair PET and PE selected in this embodiment is outstandingly suitable for producing the thread according to the invention by means of coextrusion of core and coating.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung enthält die Beschichtung als Abstoßmittel ein fluoriertes Polyolefin, insbesondere Polytetrafluorethylen (PTFE). Es hat sich gezeigt, dass PTFE einerseits für ein Aufbringen auf den Kern und andererseits hinsichtlich seiner hydrophoben Wirkung besonders geeignet ist.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention, the coating contains as a repellent fluorinated polyolefin, in particular polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It has been found that PTFE is particularly suitable on the one hand for application to the core and on the other hand in terms of its hydrophobic effect.
Damit das an sich transparente PE bei starker mechanischer Belastung des Fadens nicht weißlich erscheint, ist erfindungsgemäß alternativ oder additiv vorgesehen, dass die Beschichtung als Farbmittel Ruß aufweist. Mit Rußpartikeln angereichertes PE erscheint optisch schwarz und ist somit als ein mit PE beschichteten Fäden gewobenes Gewebe weniger sichtbar als milchig weißes Gewebe. Zusätzlich stabilisieren die Rußpartikel den erfindungsgemäßen Faden gegen ultraviolette Strahlung, was für sonnenexponierte Gewebe von Insektenschutzgittern zum Verlängern ihrer Haltbarkeit bedeutsam ist.So that the per se transparent PE does not appear whitish upon heavy mechanical loading of the thread, according to the invention it is alternatively or additionally provided that the coating has carbon black as colorant. Soot-enriched PE appears optically black and thus, as a PE-coated fabric, is less visible than milky white fabric. In addition, the soot particles stabilize the inventive filament against ultraviolet radiation, which is important for sun-exposed fabric of insect screens to extend their durability.
Es ist erfindungsgemäß mit großem Vorteil vorgesehen, dass der Faden mittels Koextrusion von Kern und Beschichtung herstellbar ist. Das urformende Verfahren der Extrusion eignet sich hervorragend zum Herstellen von Endlosprodukten, wie beispielsweise Fäden. Bei der erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Koextrusion speisen beispielsweise ein erster Extruder PET und ein zweiter, von dem ersten Extruder unabhängiger Extruder PE in die Düse der Extrusionsmaschine ein, wobei der PET-Strang und der PE-Strang in der Düse vereint und gemeinsam endlos durch ein Werkzeug gezogen werden.It is inventively provided with great advantage that the thread can be produced by coextrusion of core and coating. The Forming processes of extrusion are ideal for producing continuous products, such as threads. In the coextrusion used according to the invention, for example, feed a first extruder PET and a second, independent of the first extruder extruder PE in the nozzle of the extrusion machine, the PET strand and the PE strand united in the nozzle and pulled together endlessly by a tool become.
Darüber hinaus ist in Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass zwischen dem Kern und der Beschichtung Haftmittel, insbesondere Cyanoacrylat, angeordnet sind. In Abhängigkeit von der konkreten PET-PE-Kombination und einer daraus resultierenden Verbindungsstärke zwischen dem Kern und der Beschichtung des Fadens kann es bei besonders starker mechanischer Belastung des Fadens von Vorteil sein, die Verbindungsstärke mittels Haftmittel zu erhöhen, um Beschädigungen der Beschichtung zu verhindern. Derartige Beschädigungen, zum Beispiel Mikrorisse, würden dazu führen, dass das im Regelfall transparente PE milchig weiß wahrnehmbar wird und das Gewebe für Insektenschutzgitter nicht mehr unsichtbar wäre.In addition, it is provided in an embodiment of the invention that between the core and the coating adhesive, in particular cyanoacrylate, are arranged. Depending on the specific PET-PE combination and a resulting bond strength between the core and the coating of the thread, it may be advantageous in the case of particularly heavy mechanical loading of the thread to increase the bond strength with adhesive in order to prevent damage to the coating. Such damage, for example microcracks, would lead to the normally transparent PE becoming milky white perceptible and the fabric for insect screens no longer being invisible.
Des Weiteren erweist es sich erfindungsgemäß als besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Kern eine Stärke kleiner 0,20 mm, insbesondere gleich 0,15 mm, aufweist. Eine solche Fadenstärke ist ein Optimum hinsichtlich der grundsätzlich angestrebten geringen Sichtbarkeit des Gewebes einerseits und der dabei erforderlichen Festigkeit des Gewebes andererseits.Furthermore, it proves to be particularly advantageous according to the invention if the core has a thickness of less than 0.20 mm, in particular equal to 0.15 mm. Such a thread thickness is an optimum in terms of the generally desired low visibility of the fabric on the one hand and the required strength of the fabric on the other hand.
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung sind bei einem Gewebe der eingangs genannten Art zumindest einige der Kettfäden und/oder Schussfäden als erfindungsgemäße Fäden ausgebildet. Die in Zusammenhang mit dem Faden gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitter beschriebenen Vorteile erstrecken sich selbstverständlich auf das Gewebe. Die erfindungsgemäß dünnen und stabilen Fäden erlauben das Weben eines widerstandsfähigen Gewebes mit einer relativ zu der Stärke der Fäden großen Maschenweite. Ein solches Gewebe ist sehr lichtdurchlässig und damit annähernd unsichtbar. Damit sich ein Gewebe als effektive Schutzvorrichtung gegen Insekten qualifiziert, bedarf es einer Maschenweite, die so klein ist, dass abzuhaltende Insekten nicht durchschlüpfen können. Insbesondere darf es während der Benutzung des Insektengitters nicht zu Verschiebungen von Kettfäden oder Schussfäden relativ zueinander kommen, da ansonsten die maximal zulässige Maschenweite zum wirkungsvollen Aussperren von Insekten zumindest lokal überschritten sein könnte. Bei dem aus Fäden gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitter aufgebauten Gewebe gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitter sind mit großem Vorteil die Kettfäden und Schussfäden an ihren Knotenpunkten miteinander verklebt und die Maschenweite des Gewebes permanent fixiert. Ein nachträgliches Verschieben von einzelnen Fäden innerhalb des Gewebes ist ausgeschlossen. Durch die vielfach stoffschlüssig verbundenen Fäden ist das erfindungsgemäße Gewebe stabil und maßhaltig, was in einer besonders einfachen Handhabbarkeit und guten Verarbeitbarkeit resultiert. Des Weiteren weist das Gewebe gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitter eine hohe Durchlässigkeit für Licht und Luft auf und ist nahezu unsichtbar.According to the present invention, in a fabric of the type mentioned at least some of the warp threads and / or weft threads are formed as threads according to the invention. The advantages described in connection with the thread according to the insect screen according to the invention naturally extend to the tissue. The thin and stable threads according to the invention allow the weaving of a resistant fabric with a large mesh size relative to the thickness of the threads. Such a fabric is very translucent and thus almost invisible. For a fabric to qualify as an effective protection against insects, it requires a mesh size that is so small that insects to be kept can not slip through. In particular, it may not be relative to each other during use of the insect screen to displacements of warp threads or weft threads, otherwise the maximum allowable mesh size could be at least locally exceeded for effectively blocking out insects. In the fabric constructed of threads according to the insect screen according to the invention according to the insect screen according to the invention the warp threads and weft threads are glued together at their nodes with great advantage and the mesh size of the fabric permanently fixed. A subsequent shifting of individual threads within the fabric is excluded. Due to the multiple cohesively connected threads fabric of the invention is stable and dimensionally stable, resulting in a particularly simple handling and good processability. Furthermore, the fabric according to the insect screen according to the invention has a high permeability to light and air and is almost invisible.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das Gewebe eine Maschenweite von 0,7 mm bis 1,7 mm, insbesondere 1,1 mm aufweist. Eine aus diesem Intervall gewählte Maschenweite unterschreitet mit Vorteil die Durchschlupfgröße, die störende Insekten davon abhält, das Gewebe zu passieren, wobei gleichzeitig eine ausreichende Luft- und Lichtdurchlässigkeit gewährleistet ist.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the fabric has a mesh size of 0.7 mm to 1.7 mm, in particular 1.1 mm. A mesh size chosen from this interval advantageously falls below the size of the slip, which prevents disturbing insects from passing through the tissue, while at the same time ensuring sufficient permeability to air and light.
Bei Insektenschutzgittern ist in der Regel das Gewebe das am meisten ausfallgefährdete Bauteil, welches zum Versagen des gesamten Insektenschutzgitters führt. Mit großem Vorteil verleiht das besonders widerstandsfähige Gewebe dem erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitter eine gegenüber herkömmlichen Insektenschutzgittern deutlich überlegene Stabilität und Haltbarkeit. Somit entsteht während der Herstellung und Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitter weniger Ausschuss. Das erfindungsgemäße Insektenschutzgitter ist in Einbausituation unsichtbar.In insect screens, the tissue is usually the am Most failure-prone component, which leads to the failure of the entire insect screen. With great advantage, the particularly resistant fabric gives the insect screen according to the invention a significantly superior stability and durability compared to conventional insect screens. Thus, less waste arises during the manufacture and assembly of insect screens according to the invention. The insect screen according to the invention is invisible in the installation situation.
Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird die auf das Verfahren gerichtete Aufgabe mit einem Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art gelöst, wobei zumindest einige der Kettfäden und/oder Schussfäden als erfindungsgemäße Fäden ausgebildet sind und es einen Schritt d) Hydrophobisieren des Gewebes umfasst. Die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Fäden ermöglicht die Herstellung der äußerst vorteilhaften erfindungsgemäßen Gewebe dem Grunde nach. Allerdings bedarf es zum tatsächlichen Etablieren der hierzu erforderlichen stoffschlüssigen Verbindung von Kettfäden und Schussfäden an ihren Knotenpunkten der Aktivierung des Klebemittels. Die Aktivierung des Klebemittels erfolgt mittels Erhitzen. Mit großem Vorteil sieht das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren einen Schritt vor, bei dem das erfindungsgemäße Fäden aufweisende Gewebe erhitzt wird, in der Folge das Klebemittel aktiviert wird und somit stoffschlüssige Verbindungen zwischen den Kettfäden und den Schussfäden an ihren Knotenpunkten erzeugt werden. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren eignet sich demnach vorzüglich zum Herstellen von stabilen Geweben mit fixierten Maschen für Insektenschutzgitter. Da das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ein Tauchen des Gewebes in flüssige Klebemittel oder anderweitige Beschichtungsmittel enthaltende Becken, ist eine Verfensterung von Maschen erfindungsgemäß mit großem Vorteil ausgeschlossen. Darüber hinaus läuft das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren besonders effizient und ökonomisch ab, da sehr viele stoffschlüssige Verbindungen gleichzeitig generiert werden und ein Erhitzen eines Gewebes aus prozesstechnischer Sicht ein sehr einfach zu bewerkstelligender Prozessschritt ist, ohne beispielsweise zusätzliche Stoffe oder strenge Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu erfordern.According to the present invention, the object directed to the method is achieved with a method of the type mentioned above, wherein at least some of the warp threads and / or weft threads are formed as threads according to the invention and it comprises a step d) hydrophobizing the fabric. The use of the threads according to the invention enables the production of the extremely advantageous fabrics according to the invention basically. However, for the actual establishment of the necessary material connection of warp threads and weft threads at their nodes, it is necessary to activate the adhesive. The activation of the adhesive takes place by means of heating. With great advantage, the method according to the invention provides a step in which the fabric having threads according to the invention is heated, as a result of which the adhesive is activated and thus material-bonded connections between the warp threads and the weft threads are produced at their nodes. Accordingly, the method according to the invention is outstandingly suitable for producing stable meshes with fixed meshes for insect screens. Since the inventive method, a dipping of the fabric in liquid adhesives or other coating agent containing basins, a windowing of mesh is inventively excluded with great advantage. In addition, the inventive method is particularly efficient and economical, since many cohesive compounds are generated simultaneously and heating a tissue from a process engineering point of view is a very easy to bewerkstelligender process step, without For example, to require additional substances or strict safety measures.
Als erfindungsgemäß besonders vorteilhaft erweist es sich, dass während Schritt c) das Gewebe auf eine Temperatur erhitzt wird, die höher als der Schmelzpunkt der Klebemittel und geringer als der Schmelzpunkt des Kerns ist. Hierdurch werden die Klebemittel aktiviert, um die vorteilhaften stoffschlüssigen Verbindungen entstehen zu lassen. Da jedoch bei diesem Verfahrensschritt der Schmelzpunkt des Kerns nicht erreicht wird, bleibt dieser stabil und infolgedessen das Gewebe erhalten und handhabbar.It proves to be particularly advantageous according to the invention that during step c) the fabric is heated to a temperature which is higher than the melting point of the adhesives and lower than the melting point of the core. As a result, the adhesives are activated to allow the advantageous cohesive connections arise. However, since in this process step, the melting point of the core is not reached, this remains stable and consequently the tissue is obtained and manageable.
Nach dem Erhitzen des Gewebes zum Verschmelzen der Kettfäden und Schussfäden an ihren Knotenpunkten können insbesondere dort Bereiche zurückbleiben, die frei sind von hydrophoben Abstoßmitteln und somit ein nachteiliges Anlagern von Luftfeuchtigkeit oder Wassertropfen begünstigen. Um diesen Nachteil auszumerzen, sieht das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren mit großem Vorteil vor, das gewobene und verklebte Gewebe, vorzugsweise nachträglich, insbesondere abschließend, gesamthaft zu hydrophobisieren. Dieser Verfahrensschritt kommt einer Vollversiegelung des Gewebes gleich und gewährleistet einen maximalen Schutz vor einem Niederschlag von Luftfeuchtigkeit oder Wassertropfen auf dem Gewebe, damit es selbst unter diesen widrigen Umgebungsbedingungen weitestgehend unsichtbar bleibt.After heating the fabric to fuse the warp threads and weft threads at their nodes, there may be left in particular regions which are free of hydrophobic repelling agents and thus favor a disadvantageous attachment of atmospheric moisture or water droplets. In order to eliminate this disadvantage, the method according to the invention provides a great advantage of hydrophobizing the woven and bonded fabric, preferably subsequently, in particular finally, as a whole. This process step is equivalent to fully sealing the fabric and provides maximum protection against the deposition of humidity or water droplets on the fabric so that it remains largely invisible even under these adverse environmental conditions.

Zum Herstellen des Gewebes 2 für ein Insektenschutzgitter 1 sieht das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren nach den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Schritten a) Bereitstellen von Fäden 4, 5 als Kettfäden 4 und Schussfäden 5, b) Weben eines Gewebes 2 mittels der Kettfäden 4 und Schussfäden 5 und c) Erhitzen des Gewebes 2 auf eine Temperatur, die höher als der Schmelzpunkt der Klebemittel und geringer als der Schmelzpunkt des Kerns ist, zum Generieren von stoffschlüssigen Verbindungen zwischen den Kettfäden 4 und den Schussfäden 5 an ihren Knotenpunkten 6 einen Schritt d) Hydrophobisieren des Gewebes 2 vor, wobei zumindest einige der Kettfäden 4 und/oder Schussfäden 5 erfindungsgemäße Fäden 4, 5 sind. Das Erhitzen bewirkt eine Aktivierung des Klebemittels der Fäden 4, 5. Im Falle von PET als Kern und PE als Klebemittel der Fäden 4, 5 wird das aus diesen Fäden 4, 5 gewobene Gewebe auf etwa 140°C erhitzt, wodurch die Kettfäden 4 und Schussfäden 5 vielfach miteinander verkleben. Da das Klebemittel mit dem Kern der Fäden 4, 5 verbunden ist und nicht durch ein Tauchen des Gewebes 2 in ein flüssiges Klebemittel enthaltendes Bad aufgetragen wird, ist eine Verfensterung von Maschen 7 mit großem Vorteil ausgeschlossen. Nach einer Deaktivierung des Klebemittels auf Grund einer Abkühlung des Gewebes 2 auf unter 100°C sind keine weiteren Verbindungen generierbar, jedoch bleiben die bereits erzeugten Verbindungen selbstverständlich bestehen. Nach Abschluss des Verfahrensschrittes c) ist das Gewebe 2 deutlich verfestigt und weist mit großem Vorteil fixierte Knotenpunkte auf, so dass die Kettfäden 4 und Schussfäden 5 relativ zueinander nicht mehr verschiebbar sind und eine maximal zulässige Maschenweite 10, um störende Insekten noch wirkungsvoll zurückzuhalten, keinesfalls überschritten wird. Damit das Gewebe 2 während des Schrittes c) durch ein Aufschmelzen des Kerns der Fäden 4, 5 nicht zerfällt, ist darauf zu achten, dass sie stets geringer als die Schmelztemperatur des Kerns, hier PET, ist. Der Schritt d) Hydrophobisieren des Gewebes 2 bewirkt eine nachträgliche gesamthafte Hydrophobisierung des Gewebes 2, insbesondere in Bereichen, in denen während des Aufschmelzvorganges der Beschichtung 11 die hydrophoben Abstoßmittel von den Klebemitteln überdeckt wurden. Dieser Verfahrensschritt kommt einer Vollversiegelung des Gewebes 2 gleich und gewährleistet einen maximalen Schutz vor einem Niederschlag von Luftfeuchtigkeit oder Wassertropfen auf dem Gewebe, damit es selbst unter widrigen Umgebungsbedingungen weitestgehend unsichtbar bleibt. Insgesamt ist festzuhalten, dass das Gewebe 2 gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Insektenschutzgitter unter Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besonders effizient herstellbar ist.For producing the
