Abstract
Abstract The dimensionally stable composite material consists of a double fabric with spacer filaments. On both sides of the double fabric there is a plastics layers. Face and back fabric of the double fabric are linked with each other by means of incorporated rigid filaments which prevent the double fabric to be squeezed. The exterior plastics layers are curable laminates. FIG. 1 shows such a composite material. The material is obtained by applying fiber mats impregnated with curable synthetic resins to both sides of the double fabric containing spacer filaments, and subsequently bonding fiber mats and double fabric by compression.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
Dimensionally stable composite material consisting substantially of a double fabric having a face fabric and a back fabric linked to each other by rigid spacer filaments, and provided on outsides of both the face fabric and the back fabric with a plastics layer, wherein the filaments linking the face fabric and the back fabric of the double fabric are rigid monofilaments permitting the double fabric to withstand compressive forces substantially without deformation, and wherein said plastics layer is a cured laminate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
81 words
Dimensionally stable composite material consisting substantially of a double fabric having a face fabric and a back fabric linked to each other by rigid spacer filaments, and provided on outsides of both the face fabric and the back fabric with a plastics layer, wherein the filaments linking the face fabric and the back fabric of the double fabric are rigid monofilaments permitting the double fabric to withstand compressive forces substantially without deformation, and wherein said plastics layer is a cured laminate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The dimensionally stable composite material as claimed in claims 1, wherein face and back fabric and the rigid filaments are made from polyesters, polyamides, glass, carbon, and/or metal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The dimensionally stable composite material as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the laminate consists substantially of one or more fiber mats impregnated with synthetic resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The dimensionally stable composite material as claimed in claim 3, wherein the exterior fiber mat has a decorative surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
100 words
Process for the manufacture of a dimensionally stable composite material consisting substantially of a double fabric formed of a face fabric and a back fabric and containing spacer filaments linking said face and back fabrics, and provided on outsides of both the face fabric and the back fabric with a plastic layer, in which the spacer filaments are rigid filaments; which comprises joining on both outsides of the double fabric respective fiber mats impregnated with synthetic resin, the double fabric serving as core material for said impregnated fiber mats, and bonding the double fabric to the fiber mats by compression.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
100 words
Process for the manufacture of a dimensionally stable composite material consisting substantially of a double fabric formed of a face fabric and a back fabric and containing spacer filaments linking said face and back fabrics, and provided on outsides of both the face fabric and the back fabric with a plastic layer, in which the spacer filaments are rigid filaments; which comprises joining on both outsides of the double fabric respective fiber mats impregnated with synthetic resin, the double fabric serving as core material for said impregnated fiber mats, and bonding the double fabric to the fiber mats by compression.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
The process as claimed in claim 5, which comprises joining the double fabric simultaneously with the fiber mats with a separating sheet each of which is positioned on an outer face of an associated one of the fiber mats.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process as claimed in claim 5 or claim 6, which comprises producing the compression by a pair of rollers together defining a gap between which the double fabric and the fiber mats are passed.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
42 words
The process as claimed in claim 5 or claim 6, which further comprises impregnating first the double fabric with a solution of a synthetic resin, molding it subsequently and providing it then on both sides with curable layers which are cured thereafter.
