Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A tubular fabric for use as a carcass for power transmission and conveyor belts comprising: (a) a plurality of longitudinal yarns; (b) a plurality of transverse yarns interwoven with said longitudinal yarns; (c) said longitudinal and transverse yarns forming a warp weave wherein said transverse yarns form adjacent pairs having upper yarns and lower yarns and said longitudinal yarns pass above a first upper yarn of a first pair of transverse yarns, between a second upper yarn and a second lower yarn of a second pair of transverse yarns adjacent the first pair, below a third lower yarn of a third pair of transverse yarns adjacent the second pair, and between a fourth upper yarn and a fourth lower yarn of a fourth pair of transverse yarns adjacent the third pair; and (d) said longitudinal yarns forming first, second, third and fourth substantially parallel planes; said transverse yarn forming fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth substantially parallel planes; said first and second planes binding said fifth plane and said eighth plane; and said third and fourth planes binding said sixth plane to seventh plane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
183 words
A tubular fabric for use as a carcass for power transmission and conveyor belts comprising: (a) a plurality of longitudinal yarns; (b) a plurality of transverse yarns interwoven with said longitudinal yarns; (c) said longitudinal and transverse yarns forming a warp weave wherein said transverse yarns form adjacent pairs having upper yarns and lower yarns and said longitudinal yarns pass above a first upper yarn of a first pair of transverse yarns, between a second upper yarn and a second lower yarn of a second pair of transverse yarns adjacent the first pair, below a third lower yarn of a third pair of transverse yarns adjacent the second pair, and between a fourth upper yarn and a fourth lower yarn of a fourth pair of transverse yarns adjacent the third pair; and (d) said longitudinal yarns forming first, second, third and fourth substantially parallel planes; said transverse yarn forming fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth substantially parallel planes; said first and second planes binding said fifth plane and said eighth plane; and said third and fourth planes binding said sixth plane to seventh plane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
73 words
A tubular fabric weave for use in making a carcass of power transmission and conveyor belts comprising: (a) first, second, third and fourth planes of warp yarn; (b) fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth planes of weft yarn interwoven with said planes of warp yarn; (c) said first and second planes binding said fifth plane and said eighth plane; and (d) said third and fourth planes binding said sixth plane and said seventh plane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
73 words
A tubular fabric weave for use in making a carcass of power transmission and conveyor belts comprising: (a) first, second, third and fourth planes of warp yarn; (b) fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth planes of weft yarn interwoven with said planes of warp yarn; (c) said first and second planes binding said fifth plane and said eighth plane; and (d) said third and fourth planes binding said sixth plane and said seventh plane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
72 words
The tubular fabric of claim 2 wherein said planes of warp yarn include first additional, second additional, third additional and fourth additional planes and said planes of weft yarn include fifth additional and seventh additional planes, said first additional plane and second additional plane binding said sixth plane and said seventh additional plane and said third additional plane and said fourth additional plane binding said fifth additional plane and said eighth plane.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
65 words
The tubular fabric of claim 2 wherein said planes of warp yarn include thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth planes and said planes of weft yarn include sixth additional and eighth additional planes, said thirteenth plane and said fourteeth plane binding said sixth additional plane to said seventh plane and said fiftheenth plane and said sixteenth plane binding said fifth plane to said eighth additional plane.
