Abstract
An impact dissipating fabric system includes a first non-woven fabric layer, and a second non-woven fabric layer disposed on one another and coupled together using a lamination film or a resin. In an alternative embodiment, a woven fabric layer may be disposed on either one or both non-woven fabric layers. In yet a further alternative embodiment, and elastomer coating disposed on at least one of the exposed major surfaces of the fabric layer after the fabric layers are coupled to one another.
Claims33
An impact dissipating fabric system comprising:
- a first non-woven fabric layer;
- and
- a second non-woven fabric layer,
- wherein the first and second fabric layers are disposed on one another at a predetermined angle relative to one another and coupled together, the predetermined angle being greater than zero degrees.
An impact dissipating fabric system comprising:
- a first fabric non-woven layer formed with fibers having a first denier;
- and
- a second non-woven fabric layer formed with fibers having a second denier different from the first denier,
- wherein the first and second fabric layers are disposed on one another and coupled together.
A method for preparing an impact dissipating fabric system comprising:
- forming a non-woven first fabric layer;
- forming a second non-woven fabric layer;
- disposing the first and second fabric layers on one another;
- and
- coupling the first and second fabric layers together.
A fabric for a protective vest comprising:
- a first non-woven fabric layer;
- and
- a second non-woven fabric layer,
- wherein the first and second fabric layers are disposed on one another and coupled together.
An impact dissipating fabric system comprising:
- a first fabric layer formed using a first weave pattern;
- and
- a second fabric layer formed using a second weave pattern different from the first wave pattern,
- wherein the first and second fabric layers are disposed on one another and coupled together.
