Disc-like platelet fabric
Abstract
Abstract A fabric is described that can be used for decorative curtains or wall hangings clothing for children and dolls, and the like. The fabric is formed by releasably coupling together a multiplicity of platelets and are preferably of a laminated plastic having some regular geometric shape. Each platelet is perforated adjacent its periphery to enable connecting links to be inserted therethrough for releasably joining the platelets together to form the fabric. These connecting links are also preferably of plastic and usually have an enlarged end section which can be resiliently deformable to allow passage of the same through the perforations in the platelet and thus connect the platelets releasably together. Such connecting links alloy easy and rapid repairs to be made to broken or damaged platelets, as well as enabling various patterns to be designed into the fabric by rearranging the platelets according to shape and colouring.
