Abstract
Abstract A multiply fabric which can be used for reinforcement purposes and which has a length dimension, a width dimension and a thickness dimension, includes weft threads extending widthwise of the fabric and warp threads extending lengthwise of the fabric, the warp threads being woven with the weft threads so as to provide, in cross section perpendicular to the width dimension, a central web between opposite end portions, each of the opposite end portions having a central gap that divides each end portion into separated left and right flanges that can be bent apart.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A multiply fabric for use as a reinforcement in plastic composite members, said fabric having a length dimension, a width dimension and a thickness dimension and being formed of weft threads which extend widthwise said fabric, warp threads which extend lengthwise said fabric, and stuffer warp threads which also extend lengthwise said fabric, said weft threads and said stuffer warp threads being also arranged in a plurality of aligned rows extending in the thickness dimension of said fabric, said warp threads being woven with respect to said weft threads so as to provide said fabric, when viewed in a section perpendicular to said width dimension, with a central web and a first end portion, said first end portion having a central gap therein that divides said first end portion into separated left and right flanges.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A multiply fabric for use as a reinforcement in plastic composite members, said fabric having a length dimension, a width dimension and a thickness dimension and being formed of weft threads which extend widthwise said fabric, warp threads which extend lengthwise said fabric, and stuffer warp threads which also extend lengthwise said fabric, said weft threads and said stuffer warp threads being also arranged in a plurality of aligned rows extending in the thickness dimension of said fabric, said warp threads being woven with respect to said weft threads so as to provide said fabric, when viewed in a section perpendicular to said width dimension, with a central web and a first end portion, said first end portion having a central gap therein that divides said first end portion into separated left and right flanges.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A multiply fabric according to claim 1, wherein said fabric includes a second end portion, said central web extending between said first and second end portions, said second end portion having a central gap therein that divides said second end portion into separated left and right flanges.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
A multiply fabric according to claim 2, wherein as many weft threads are present in said first and second end portions as in said central web, such that each flange has a dimension in the thickness dimension of the fabric equal to a dimension of said central web in the thickness dimension of the fabric.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
75 words
A multiply fabric according to claim 2, wherein, when viewed in a section perpendicular to said width dimension, said central web has a left portion and a right portion and wherein the stuffer warp threads extending through said left portion of said central web extend into the right flange of each end portion and the stuffer warp threads in said right portion of said central web extend into the left flange of each end portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
76 words
A multiply fabric according to claim 2 wherein, when viewed in a section perpendicular to said width dimension, said central web has a left portion and a right portion and wherein the stuffer warp threads extending through said left portion of said central web extend into the left flange of each end portion and the stuffer warp threads extending through said right portion of said central web extend into the right flange of each end portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
A multiply fabric according to claim 2, wherein said warp threads are woven with respect to said weft threads such that said central web, when viewed in a section perpendicular to said with dimension, has a central gap therein.
