Abstract
A damping layer comprises a large number of yarns combined to form a textile, wherein at least some of the yarns are foamed synthetic yarns. Such a textile, which consists of a mix of foamed and non-foamed synthetic yarns, is relatively strong and light and can lead to more efficient use of the foamed material. The foamed synthetic yarn may be formed into upstanding loops which provide additional resiliency and damping.
Claims8
A method for forming a damping layer by weaving a large number of yarns to form a textile, wherein at least some of the yarns are foamable synthetic yarns, and the yarns are first woven to each other and subsequently at least some of the synthetic yarns are foamed to form loops of foamed synthetic yarn upstanding from the textile and the loops of foamed synthetic yarn are open arches with the loops of adjacent foamed synthetic yarns engaging against each other and wherein at least one non-foamable yarn is arranged between adjacent foamable synthetic yarns.
A method for forming a damping layer by weaving a large number of yarns to form a textile, wherein at least some of the yarns are foamable synthetic yarns, and the yarns are first woven to each other and subsequently at least some of the synthetic yarns are foamed to form loops of foamed synthetic yarn upstanding from the textile and the loops of foamed synthetic yarn are open arches with the loops of adjacent foamed synthetic yarns engaging against each other, wherein the synthetic yarns to be foamed are interwoven as warp threads with weft threads of yarns which are not to be foamed, and each warp thread to be foamed alternately grips and drops several weft threads which are not to be foamed.
A method for forming a damping layer by weaving a large number of yarns to form a textile, wherein at least some of the yarns are foamable synthetic yarns, and the yarns are first woven to each other and subsequently at least some of the synthetic yarns are foamed to form loops of foamed synthetic yarn upstanding from the textile and the loops of foamed synthetic yarn are open arches with the loops of adjacent foamed synthetic yarns engaging against each other, wherein some of the foamable synthetic yarns have properties which differ from those of the other foamable synthetic yarns.
