BIAXIISOTROPIC FABRIC FOR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: production of fabrics for manufacture of protective clothing, preferably protective vests and plates, as well as for sewing of special sportive protective fencer's clothing, such as vests, side and chest protective means used during exercising.

SUBSTANCE: biaxiisotropic fabric is manufactured in bark weaving pattern from warp and weft threads of similar composition and linear density and with similar warp and weft repeat pattern. In weaving repeat pattern, any one of two halves of six-thread weaving repeat pattern sized 3x6 or 6x3 along warp or weft threads, turned through 180 deg, is identical to other unturned half. Fabric has one and a half layers which are connected with one another through all warp and weft threads. Said threads are transferred from one layer to another, and each of warp and weft threads forms two elongated double-thread overlaps and two short single-thread overlaps in weaving repeat pattern. Diagonal sections of weaving repeat pattern define four triangular fragments, each of which, when turned through 180 deg, coincide with pattern of respective symmetrical non-turned fragment. Biaxiisotropic fabric of such structure has resistance coefficient of at least 0.9 and relatively low flexural rigidity (not in the excess of 5/0 gf/cm).

EFFECT: increased efficiency, improved protective properties and wider range of usage.
