Abstract
The invention relates to a weatherproofing arrangement having a textile sheet material which forms a screen against the effects of weather, in particular against solar radiation and/or rain, and has warp threads and weft threads connected to one another in the manner of latticework. In order to achieve particular protective functions, it is proposed for the warp threads and weft threads to bound elongate-rectangular latticework openings, wherein the length of these openings is at least 10 times the width thereof, and wherein the width of the openings is from between 0.1 and 0.001 mm.
Claims23
A weather protection device for shielding against weather influences, comprising a textile sheet material having warp threads and weft threads connected to one another in a grid, the warp threads and weft threads delimiting elongate rectangular grid openings, the opening length of the grid openings being at least ten times the opening width of the grid openings, the opening width being between 0.1 mm and 0.01 mm, the textile sheet-like material being hydrophobic and air permeable and being configured for location in open air as sun protection and/or rain protection on or outside a building.
A method of providing a screen against the effects of weather, comprising:
- providing warp threads and weft threads connected to one another in a latticework to form a textile fabric, the latticework defining elongate-rectangular openings whose length is at least 10 times their width and the width of the openings is between 0.1 to 0.001 mm;
- finishing the threads with a waterproofing agent to render the textile fabric hydrophobic;
- and
- placing the textile fabric in an outside environment.
A weather protection device for shielding against weather influences, comprising a textile sheet material having warp threads and weft threads connected to one another in a grid, the warp threads and weft threads delimiting elongate rectangular grid openings, the opening length of the grid openings being at least ten times the opening width of the grid openings, the opening width being between 0.1 mm and 0.01 mm, the textile sheet material being hydrophobic and air permeable,
- wherein the textile sheet material comprises a two-layered fabric structure of warp threads which form a warp-thread layer, and of weft threads which form a weft-thread layer lying on one side of the warp-thread layer, the warp threads and the weft threads being stretched in a substantially rectilineal manner.
A weather protection device for shielding against weather influences, comprising a textile sheet material having warp threads and weft threads connected to one another in a grid, the warp threads and weft threads delimiting elongate rectangular grid openings, the opening length of the grid openings being at least ten times the opening width of the grid openings, the opening width being between 0.1 mm and 0.01 mm, and the textile sheet-like material being hydrophobic, wherein the textile sheet material provides sun protection and/or rain protection while simultaneously allowing air and visible light to pass through.
