This invention relates to a novel type of textile reinforcement adapted to be used for making laminated complexes, of the type constituted by at least one layer of reinforcing yarns. The yarns are bonded together by adhesion with binding yarns, disposed transversely, in a small proportion with respect to the reinforcing yarns. Reinforcing yarns are spaced apart from one another so as to form stable and undeformable holes of definite shape. Additional binding yarns are disposed on either side of each of the strips of reinforcing yarns.

1. Textile reinforcement for manufacturing layered products, of the type constituted by a web of longitudinal yarns (1) bound together by weft yarns (2a, 2b) loosely woven with said longitudinal yarns (1), said binding weft yarns being constituted of heat-meltable yarns of which the thermobinding properties are revealed after weaving, characterized by the fact that the weaving is produced in such a way that the weft yarns are regrouped in spaced apart pairs, said binding weft yarns being very fine with respect to the longitudinal yarns.

The invention relates to a textile construction for using in passenger restraint systems. Said textile construction is characterised in that it contains plastically deformable filaments which enable the surface of the textile construction to increase when pressure is applied in at least one surface direction. The inventive textile construction is also provided with an especially elastic coating.

The invention relates to a plastic pipe (1) comprising at least one connecting point (2) for connection to another plastic pipe (3) or to another connecting piece, wherein the connecting point (2) has a sealing area. A reinforcement (5) is applied to the connecting point (2) in the sealing area and substantially or completely prevents the plastic of the connecting point (2) from creeping in the sealing area. The invention also relates to a method and devices for producing a corresponding plastic pipe.

The invention relates to a clothing item or piece of clothing, in particular, for direct wearing on the skin. The piece of clothing comprises at least two different yarns (1,2). The yarn (2), facing the skin, has a completely sealed and smooth surface and is in one piece. In a version thereof, the yarn (2), comprises a number of individual filaments (21) collected into one thread. Said yarn has a sealed and smooth surface.

A felting of synthetic fibers having an embossed pattern that forms depressions in at least one surface of the felting is disclosed. The surface of the felting with depressions contains, in at least the area of the depressions, a layer of small hollow spheres that are bonded to one another and to the felting by means of a binding agent. The layer of hollow spheres fills up, at least partially, the depressions in the surface of the felting produced by embossing. This reinforces and strengthens the thinner areas of felting in the vicinity of these depressions. When the reinforced felting is applied to a shoe upper, for example, the resulting upper has improved stiffness and strength. Furthermore, the excessive penetration of adhesive into the felting, which can cause a spotty or uneven appearance of the reinforced upper, is prevented. Resistance to splitting and separating is likewise improved.

To produce a material with a patterning of a geometric or non-geometric design, it incorporates at least two yarns in a uniform and repeated structure. A given pattern is laid of dye pastes in different colors with a particular affinity for each specific type of yarn. The fabric is produced on a tufting machine, using two bars or more with a relative longitudinal displacement between them. The tufted loops are of the same or different height levels, using the different yarn feeds. The tufted material is stabilized by a conventional coating, and is cut into tiles. The tiles are gathered by an index system at an assembly where dye pastes are applied in an accurate repeat color pattern, using an injection action to deliver the dyes of different colors into accurate locations on to the material surface and into its body mass.
