At least some of the braided yarns including heat-set yarns, and the wall has a plurality of annular first regions forming generally convex ridges and a plurality of annular second regions forming generally concave valleys. The first regions alternate with the second regions along the central longitudinal axis. The first regions include a plurality of twisted yarns forming a plurality of closed loops, wherein at least some of the braided yarns pass through at least some of the closed loops within the first regions to enhance the radial stiffness and resistance of the wall to kinking. | 2017-05-18 |
20170137979 | BRAIDING BOBBIN AND BRAIDING DEVICE - The invention relates to a braiding bobbin for a braiding device. The braiding bobbin includes a cylindrical braiding spool, from which a previously wound, multilayer ribbon can be unwound, wherein a first layer of the ribbon consists of a pre-impregnated fiber film, and a second layer of the ribbon consists of a protective film. In addition, the braiding bobbin includes a bracket to which the braiding spool is frontally and rotatably fastened. Additionally provided for the braiding bobbin is a cylindrical additional spool for winding the protective film of the unwound ribbon and a deflection element. The deflection element is fastened to the bracket, wherein the deflection element is secured spaced apart in the radial direction R to the braiding spool and designed for deflecting the protective film from the braiding spool to the additional spool. | 2017-05-18 |
20170137980 | NONWOVEN WITH IMPROVED ABRASION RESISTANCE AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - A nonwoven web made up of continuous fibers that include a polymer component, the web being bonded by a bond pattern including spaced apart closed figures arranged in a repeating pattern, the web having an abrasion rating of 3 or higher and an average HOM of less than 6 grams. | 2017-05-18 |
20170137981 | NON-WOVEN FABRIC - The present invention relates to a non-woven fabric for a non-woven air filtering substrate and an ADL substrate of fibre-based three-dimensional multi-layer structure, comprising at least 4 layers arranged one above another, arranged securely, wherein there is a first, upper layer in contact with the flow to be treated, which comprises fibres of a fineness ranging from 6 to 20 dtex and lengths ranging from 32 to 80 mm, and wherein the remaining layers comprise fibres of a fineness ranging from 0.6 to 10 dtex and lengths ranging from 12 to 64 mm. The present invention also relates to a method for producing the non-woven fabric that is the subject matter of the invention and also to the use thereof for preparing sanitary products or filters. | 2017-05-18 |
20170137982 | Nonwoven - The present invention relates to a nonwoven that includes superposed plies of fibers, such that a binder web is positioned between two plies and heat sealed to the at least two plies, and that it is not stitched. The heat sealing of the plies makes the nonwoven extremely solid and sets the orientation of the fibers, which can no longer move during the processing of the nonwoven. The fibers are, in fact, held by weld points that are non-continuous and are distributed over the entire surface, unlike stitching. | 2017-05-18 |
20170137983 | WASHING METHOD WITH POLYMER SOLID PARTICLES - A washing method with polymer solid particles comprises: step 1: washing clothes with the polymer solid particles, the surface of said polymer solid particles is provided with absorption holes; step 2: dehydrating the polymer solid particles and the clothes together; step 3: separating the polymer solid particles from the clothes and collecting the polymer solid particles; step 4: rinsing the clothes; and step 5: dehydrating the clothes. Before separating the polymer solid particles from the clothes, there is a step of dehydrating the polymer solid particles and the clothes together, so the user can easily separate the polymer solid particles from the clothes. | 2017-05-18 |
