Title: Method of and product for forming reinforced sheet material
Inventor: HEBBERLING FRIEDRICH
IPC: D04H3/05
Filed: 1966-01-12
Abstract: 1,147,221. Reinforced laminates. F. HEBBERLING. 12 Jan., 1966, No. 1368/66. Heading B5N. [Also in Division D1] A reinforced laminated structure is made by continuously advancing spaced-apart webs of material, advancing an array of strand filamentary material between the webs, the array being formed from two or more groups of strand filamentary material continuously fed through guides, the guides for each group being mounted on a run of flexible tape, the tape being reciprocated across the direction of advance of the webs to impart a reciprocating motion to the strand filamentary material, and bonding the webs together with the array between them. The tape may be endless with two long parallel runs reciprocating out of step with each other, each having means for receiving strands. Two such endless tapes may be arranged with their four long runs parallel, and driven so that one run of one tape is a quarter-cycle out of step with one run of the other tape. This apparatus is placed immediately before the nip of a pair of rolls to which are fed the two webs of sheet material. One web may be coated with adhesive, e.g. hot-melt polyethylene, or one or both may be of thermoplastic material. One of the rolls is heated, so that as they pass between the rolls the two webs and the strand between them form a laminate. A compensator device may be mounted between the tapes and the rollers to compensate for fluctuations in the tension of the strands, and may comprise a bar of suitable cross-section rotated in time with the reciprocation of the tape. The filamentary material may be of glass or plastics fibres, and the webs may be of paper, or plastics such as polyethylene, and the two may be of different substances.
