Embodiment Construction

[0047] figure 1 The sewing element 10 according to the first embodiment of the invention is shown in a perspective view. Seaming element 10 is comprised of a first part 20 and a second part 30, each part being generally planar until selectively deformed, as described below, for joining the two parts together as a pair. Parts 20 and 30 are preferably film extrusions formed from a polymeric thermoplastic or thermoset material. Alternatively, as noted above, one or both of the components 20, 30 may be a flat woven or nonwoven fabric sheet composed of individual yarns, which may optionally be coated or compressed, and wherein the gaps are formed during manufacture. It has been sealed by melting.

[0048] The first part 20 has a free edge 21 and a second edge region 22 which can be attached to an end or side of a technical fabric (not shown) to be seamed or form an integral construction of this end or side part. In the body of the first part 20 between the free edge 21 and the ...

Abstract

A seaming element and a method of seaming an industrial textile. The seaming element comprises first and second components, each constructed of a substantially planar polymeric film, comprising a textile body contacting portion and a free edge, and at least one row of pairs of substantially parallel slits spaced across the component, the slits having first ends substantially equidistant from the free edge of the component, and the pairs of slits defining strips which are deformable out of a plane of the film. When the two components are attached respectively to textile edges to be seamed, and the components are brought together, deformed strips of the first component are alignable with deformed strips of the second component to interengage the two components and to define a channel for a seam securing means, thus providing a simple and secure seam which is compatible with the properties of the textile body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the seaming of industrial fabrics and, in particular, to a hinged seaming element for attachment to transversely opposite ends or edges of such fabrics so that the edges can be joined so that the fabric is seamless . More specifically, the present invention relates to seaming elements used in pairs, wherein each element is individually attached to one of two opposite sides of a fabric to be seamed together such that the pair of seaming elements are then can be joined and attached to each other to form a strong seam compatible with the intended end use of the fabric. Background technique [0002] Industrial fabrics are woven or nonwoven fabrics that are often much longer than they are wide. These fabrics are used in a variety of industrial applications such as filtration, paper making, transportation, food preparation, etc. Such fabrics are often formed by weaving on wide industrial looms, but other methods of manufac...
