Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protective cloth and a method for manufacturing it.
  • the protective cloth proposed herein can be used in light or heavy building works, painting works, for repairing vehicles, hobbies, agriculture, etc. and is often indicated by the expression "multi-purpose cloth”.
  • Protective cloths available on the market are generally rectangular or square and have two types of packaging: flat or in a roll.
  • the cloth is folded alternatively along a direction which is parallel to the long sides and to the short sides of the rectangle.
  • US6220648 discloses a cloth for the protection of vehicles.
  • patent EP 2305587 in the name of the Applicant proposes a method comprising the steps of:
  • adhesive tape is sometimes applied in different points of the cloth.
  • the technical task underpinning the present invention is to provide a protective cloth and a method for manufacturing it, which obviates the drawbacks of the prior art as cited above.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to provide a protective cloth that, during use, is able to protect objects more effectively with respect to known solutions.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to provide a protective cloth that, in use, protects objects without damaging them.
  • a protective cloth, cloth according to claim 1 in particular for use in painting works, repair shops, building works, hobbies, agriculture, comprising:
  • the opposite flaps of the sheet are folded and fixed at least partially to the remaining part of the sheet so as to obtain the sleeves.
  • each of the opposite flaps of the sheet is folded and fixed to the remaining part of the sheet for the whole extension of the flap.
  • the fixing means consists of a heat-welding which joins each tape to the corresponding flap.
  • the fixing means consists of a seam which joins each tape to the corresponding flap.
  • the fixing means comprises an adhesive material.
  • the fixing means comprises one or more metal staples.
  • each of the tapes has an extension which is greater than or equal to the length of the sleeve in which it is inserted.
  • each of the tapes has an extension which is smaller than the length of the sleeve in which it is inserted.
  • each of the tapes is made of a textile or of a plastic material.
  • each of the tapes consists of a strip, for example an elastic or non-elastic strip.
  • the sheet is made of a plastic material or a textile material, or paper.
  • a method for manufacturing a protective cloth according to claim 14 starting from a sheet of a flexible material incised according to a substantially longitudinal and asymmetric cutting line that separates opposite flaps of the sheet, comprising the steps of:
  • the step of partially fixing each tape inside the corresponding sleeve consists of heat-welding the tape to the folded flap which defines the sleeve.
  • the step of partially fixing each tape inside the corresponding sleeve consists of sewing the tape to the folded flap which defines the sleeve.
  • the step of partially fixing each tape inside the corresponding sleeve consists of gluing the tape to the folded flap which defines the sleeve.
  • the step of partially fixing each tape inside the corresponding sleeve consists of stapling the tape to the folded flap which defines the sleeve.
  • the method further comprises a step of folding the sheet parallel to the cutting line for at least three consecutive times so that, at the end of each fold, the opposite flaps of the sheet are external, i.e. accessible to a user.
  • number 1 is used to indicate a protective cloth, in particular for use in painting works, in repair shops, in building works, hobbies or agriculture.
  • the cloth 1 comprises a sheet 2 made of a flexible material, in particular plastic material.
  • the sheet 2 is preferably made of an electrostatically charged material so that it adheres easily to a surface to be protected.
  • the sheet 2 is made of a waterproof and biodegradable plastic material.
  • the sheet 2 is made of textile or paper.
  • the sheet 2 has natural or artificially perfumed essences added to it.
  • the sheet 2 may be transparent or coloured.
  • the sheet 2 has a substantially rectangular or square extension.
  • the sheet has a rectangular extension with two long sides 2a, 2b and two short sides 2c, 2d.
  • the rectangular sheet 2 can be configured at least in:
  • the protective cloth 1 comprises two tapes 3, 13 made of a flexible material which extend inside corresponding sleeves 4, 14 obtained from opposite flaps 5, 15 of the sheet 2.
  • such opposite flaps 5, 15 of the sheet 2 are those at the long sides 2a, 2b of the sheet 2.
  • each sleeve 4, 14 is obtained by folding a flap 5, 15 which is fixed at least partially to the remaining part of the sheet 2.
  • each of the two opposite flaps 5, 15 is folded and fixed to the remaining part of the sheet 2 for the whole extension thereof.
  • each of the two opposite flaps 5, 15 is folded and fixed to the remaining part of the sheet 2 only in some points, e.g. equidistant.
  • each tape 3, 13 has an extension which is greater than or equal to the length of the sleeve 4, 14 in which it is inserted.
  • each tape 3, 13 has an extension which is smaller than the length of the sleeve 4, 14 in which it is inserted.
  • FIG 1 shows the tapes 3, 13 exiting partially from the related sleeves 4, 14 (either because they have an extension which is larger than the sleeves 4, 14 or because they have already been pulled, as will be explained below).
  • the tapes 3, 13 have accessible ends as the sleeves 4, 14 are open tubes.
  • figure 3 shows a flap 5 that defines a sleeve 4 and the related tape 3 with the accessible ends 3a, 3b.
  • the tapes 3, 13 are made of textile or of plastic.
  • the tapes 3, 13 consist of strips.
  • such strips are elastic or non-elastic.
  • Each tape 3, 13 is fixed partially inside the corresponding sleeve 4, 14.
  • such fixing consists of a heat-welding which joins each tape 3, 13 to the corresponding flap 5, 15.
  • such fixing consists of a seam.
  • such fixing is obtained with adhesive material, e.g. glue.
  • the sheet 2 has weakening lines (or pre-incision lines) parallel to two of its sides (e.g. parallel to the short sides 2c, 2d of a rectangular sheet). In this way, the sheet 2 can be torn along such weakening lines to obtain a plurality of cloths of smaller sizes.
  • weakening lines or pre-incision lines
  • the sheet 2 can be torn along such weakening lines to obtain a plurality of cloths of smaller sizes.
  • first sleeve 4 two tapes are housed, each of which is located at one of the ends of the first sleeve 4.
  • second sleeve 14 two more tapes are housed, each of which is located at one of the ends of the second sleeve 14.
  • Each of such tapes is fixed inside the corresponding sleeve 4, 14 with one of the fixing methods indicated above.
  • the tapes do not extend for the entire length of the corresponding sleeves, but for each sleeve there are two tapes.
  • a sheet 2 of a flexible material having a tubular shape which is incised according to a substantially longitudinal and asymmetric cutting line 6 so as to separate the opposite flaps 5, 15 of the sheet 2 (see figures 4 and 5 ).
  • the incised tubular sheet 2 therefore becomes a rectangular or square sheet.
  • the sheet 2 is flattened so that an upper layer and a lower layer are pressed onto one another.
  • the pressing is obtained by making the sheet 2 pass through a series of rollers.
  • Each of the opposite flaps 5, 15 of the sheet 2 is folded and fixed to the remaining part of the sheet 2 so as to obtain corresponding sleeves 4, 14.
  • a tape 3, 13 is inserted which is partially fixed to the inside of the corresponding sleeve 4, 14.
  • each tape 3, 13 is heat-welded to the corresponding flap 5, 15.
  • each tape 3, 13 is sewed or glued to the corresponding flap 5, 15.
  • each tape 3, 13 is stapled to the corresponding flap 5, 15.
  • the sheet 2 is folded parallel with respect to the cutting line 6 for at least three consecutive times.
  • the flaps 5, 15 and the tapes 3, 13 are external, i.e. accessible to a user.
  • the sheet 2 is configured in the first state.
  • the sheet 2 configured in the first state is rolled so that the protective cloth 1 is made available in the form of a roll 7 (see figure 6 ).
  • the user When the user needs to use the cloth 1 he/she first unrolls the roll 7 to its full length. After this, the user opens the sheet 2 by grasping the opposite flaps 5, 15 at the cutting line 6. The sheet 2 is thus easily deployed and brought into the second state, in which the cloth 1 is ready for use.
  • the user grasps the tapes 3, 13 by their ends and pulls them so as to crumple the sheet 2 and be able to shape it better to fit the object.
  • the ends of the tapes 3, 13 near to each other can be connected together or to the underlying object so as to fix the cloth 1 effectively.
  • the proposed cloth can be applied to objects to be protected quickly and rapidly thanks to the presence of the tapes.
