Abstract
A floatable flat textile structure with embedded, air-filled floating bodies is disclosed. To provide a flat structure that has a high buoyancy, resists damage and can be manufactured cost-effectively, the floating bodies are formed as air-filled ropes made of an air-filled foil, wherein the air-filled ropes are connected by connecting elements.
Claims20
A buoyant flat textile structure comprising
- at least one buoyant body embedded in the textile structure and being formed of a plurality of air cushioning cables, with the air cushioning cable being made from at least one air cushioning film, the air cushioning film comprising a plurality of air-filled cells, and
- a plurality of connecting elements that connect the air cushioning cables with each other.
An air cushioning cable for use in a buoyant body, comprising at least one air cushioning film, the air cushioning film comprising a plurality of air-filled cells, wherein the air cushioning film is formed into a hollow strand and surrounded by textile threads.
A buoyant flat textile structure comprising
- at least one buoyant body embedded in the textile structure and being formed of a plurality of air cushioning cables, with a respective air cushioning cable being made of at least one air cushioning film formed into strands, the air cushioning film comprising a plurality of air-filled cells,
- a jacket made of textile threads and surrounding the at least one air cushioning film, and
- a plurality of connecting elements that connect the air cushioning cables with each other.
A buoyant flat textile structure, comprising:
- at least one buoyant body embedded in the textile structure and being formed of an air cushioning cable having a meander pattern, the air cushioning cable being made from at least one air cushioning film, the air cushioning film comprising a plurality of air-filled cells, and
- a plurality of connecting elements forming the air cushioning cable in the meander pattern.
