Abstract
Abstract Stitch bonded fabric or other arrays of substantially coplanar and coparallel yarns non-interlaced with other yarns are employed to reinforce the backing for coated abrasive products. A preferred construction with continuous filament polyester yarns is described, together with the cloth finishing process employed to prepare a backing for coating with abrasive grain. The product is particularly suitable for making coated abrasive belts.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
An improved flexible coated abrasive sheet material having abrasive grains adhesively bonded to one side of a backing, said backing comprising: (a) a first array of non-interlaced substantially coplanar and coparallel reinforcing textile yarns, a second overlaid array of non-interlaced substantially coplanar and coparallel reinforcing textile yarns said first and second arrays being oriented in two distinct directions from one another, said textile yarns of each array, together with the yarns of any other distinct arrays of non-interlaced substantially coplanar and coparallel reinforcing textile yarns present in the back and oriented in the same direction, furnishing most of the tensile strength of said coated abrasive in the direction of orientations of said array, and (b) cured adhesive material substantially filling the spaces between the yarns of said first and second arrays and bonded thereto.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
An improved flexible coated abrasive sheet material having abrasive grains adhesively bonded to one side of a backing, said backing comprising: (a) a first array of non-interlaced substantially coplanar and coparallel reinforcing textile yarns, a second overlaid array of non-interlaced substantially coplanar and coparallel reinforcing textile yarns said first and second arrays being oriented in two distinct directions from one another, said textile yarns of each array, together with the yarns of any other distinct arrays of non-interlaced substantially coplanar and coparallel reinforcing textile yarns present in the back and oriented in the same direction, furnishing most of the tensile strength of said coated abrasive in the direction of orientations of said array, and (b) cured adhesive material substantially filling the spaces between the yarns of said first and second arrays and bonded thereto.
