Claims14
A method of making a high temperature resistant shrinkable joint in a fabric which comprises impregnating the ends of a fabric with a highly volatile solvent which does not dissolve the fabric, disposing a thin high temperature-resistant shrinkable strip of film, soluble in said highly volatile solvent, between the overlapping or on the abutting ends of the fabric and applying pressure to the ends of the fabric to produce the joint.
A length of fabric including at least one high temperature-resistant shrinkable joint prepared by the method which comprises impregnating the ends of a fabric with a highly volatile solvent which does not dissolve the fabric, disposing a thin high temperature-resistant shrinkable strip of film, soluble in said highly volatile solvent, between the overlapping or on the abutting ends of the fabric and applying pressure to the ends of the fabric to produce the joint.
