Embodiment Construction

[0021] Figure 1 shows a load-bearing fabric assembly, generally designated 10, for use as a chair seat. The assembly 10 generally includes a carrier assembly 15 mounted to a frame 12 . Carrier assembly 15 includes load-bearing fabric 14 interconnected with a carrier 16 . The frame 12 defines a plurality of viewing windows 18 through which the connection of the carrier 16 and the load-bearing fabric 14 can be observed after the carrier assembly 15 is secured to the frame 12 . Although the invention has been described in connection with a chair seat assembly, the invention is equally applicable in a variety of applications associated with load bearing fabrics. For example, the present invention is applicable to shoe soles, mattresses, cots, wheelchairs, and various other bases.

[0022] As noted above, the load-bearing fabric assembly 10 generally includes a frame 12 , a carrier 16 and a load-bearing fabric 14 . The carrier 16 and the load-bearing fabric 14 are interconnected...

Abstract

A load bearing fabric assembly having a frame, a carrier and a load bearing fabric. The load bearing fabric is attached directly to the carrier. The frame defines view ports to enable visual inspection of the junction between the carrier and the load bearing fabric after the carrier and fabric have been mounted to the frame. A method of manufacturing the carrier for such a load bearing fabric assembly includes the steps of: (a) placing the fabric inside a mold with at least a portion of the fabric directly engaging the surface of the mold; (b) injecting a molten thermoplastic elastomer into the mold to form the carrier, the molten thermoplastic elastomer having a melt point greater than that of the fabric; and (c) permitting the molten thermoplastic elastomer to cure to form a carrier directly on the fabric. In one embodiment, the fabric is positioned so that the entry of molten thermoplastic elastomer urges the fabric against a surface of the mold cavity.

Description

technical field [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of US Application Serial No. 10 / 903,947, filed July 30, 2004, by Coffield. [0002] The present invention relates to a load-bearing fabric assembly and method of securing a load-bearing fabric to a support structure. Background technique [0003] "Heavy-duty fabrics" are high-strength, very durable fabrics, generally woven from thermoplastic elastic rubber (thermoplastic elastomer, TPE) monofilaments and conventional yarns. Load-bearing fabrics are stronger and more durable than spring steel and other conventional load-bearing materials. In addition to being strong and durable, the load-bearing fabric is lightweight and more resilient. Heavy-duty fabrics have a good appearance and are usually used without outer packaging. [0004] Load-bearing fabrics must be properly secured to a supporting structure to have the required strength and durability. A known method of securing load-bearing fabrics to a support...
