A fabric (10) for use in composite materials having a reinforcing system (11) made of reinforcing warp threads (13) and reinforcing weft threads (14), which are placed on top of one other in two different reinforcing layers (16), (17). A binding system (12) of binding warp threads (20) and binding weft threads (21) is formed from a binding yarn (30) with a lower yarn count than the reinforcing yarn (15). The reinforcing system (11) is enclosed between the binding warp threads (20) on the one side and the binding weft threads (21) on the other side, and thus, held in place at binding points (22). At each binding point (22), a binding warp thread (20) is guided and held between a stationary warp thread (25) and a regular warp thread (24) of a warp thread pair (23) of binding warp threads (20). Between two adjacent binding points of a warp thread pair (23), the stationary warp thread (25) and the regular warp thread (24) have intersecting points (26).

An object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a multiaxial-inlay knitted fabric base material with high productivity, a multiaxial-inlay knitted fabric base material that enables to produce a molded article, which is excellent in surface smoothness and has a high strength and a high elastic modulus, and a fiber-reinforced composite material including the multiaxial-inlay knitted fabric base material. a method for producing a multiaxial-inlay knitted fabric base material, the method comprising: conducting a pressurization and heating treatment to a multiaxial-inlay knitted fabric base material precursor (1) that includes a multiaxial stack (30) and a stitching thread (42) that may be formed into a restraining knitted fabric (40), which is disposed to restrain the multiaxial stack (30), in a specific condition, and a multiaxial-inlay knitted fabric base material in which an opening width (50) of the reinforcement fiber constituting the multiaxial-inlay knitted fabric base material is equal to or less than a nominal diameter of the stitching thread (42) that may be formed into a restraining knitted fabric (40).

The present invention is directed to a geotextile fabric including a plurality of wicking yarns each having a plurality of fibers with inter-fiber voids therebetween; wherein the inter-fiber voids of the plurality of wicking yarns has a water flow of about 0.05 milliliters per day per denier (ml/day/denier) to about 1.0 milliliters per day per denier. Further, the present invention is directed to a method of making such geotextile fabric.

A spacer textile material has at least a portion of multiple tensile strands located between a first layer and a second layer of the spacer textile material where the first layer and second layer have been joined together to form channels in which the tensile strands move freely. In one or more locations, a first tensile strand and a second tensile overlap at an intersection region. Further, the spacer textile material may be incorporated into an article of footwear.

An exemplary elongated elevator load bearing member includes a plurality of tension elements that extend along a length of the load bearing member. A plurality of weave fibers transverse to the tension elements are woven with the tension elements such that the weave fibers maintain a desired spacing and alignment of the tension elements relative to each other. The weave fibers at least partially cover the tension elements. The weave fibers are exposed and establish an exterior, traction surface of the load bearing member.

A knit fabric containing a stitch yarn set containing pairs of stitch yarns, a warp yarn set containing in-lay warp yarns, and a weft yarn set containing weft inserted yarns. Each pair of stitch yarns comprises a first stitch yarn and a second stitch yarn, where the first stitch yarn has a two bar first stitch pattern comprising repeating pattern of at least one tricot stitch optionally followed by at least one pillar stitch and the second stitch pattern comprises a mirror image to the first stitch pattern. The first stitch yarn and the second stitch yarn within each pair of stitch yarns are interlinked together, but the first stitch yarn and second stitch yarn of one pair of stitch yarns are not interlinked with first stitch yarn and second stitch yarn of adjacent pairs of stitch yarns.

The present invention is directed to a geotextile fabric including a plurality of wicking yarns each having a plurality of fibers with inter-fiber voids therebetween; wherein the inter-fiber voids of the plurality of wicking yarns has a water flow of about 0.05 milliliters per day per denier (ml/day/denier) to about 1.0 milliliters per day per denier. Further, the present invention is directed to a method of making such geotextile fabric.

An illustrative example method of making an elongated load bearing member includes providing a plurality of tension elements. A plurality of weave fibers are woven together with the tension elements to thereby establish a weave. A traction surface is established on at least one side of the load bearing member. The traction surface is defined by the weave fibers. Coating the weave fibers with a compressible coating provides an exterior surface texture defined at least in part by the weave fibers.

The invention relates to an intermediate product intended for the production of a composite part in combination with a resin matrix, formed by at least two unidirectional sets of reinforcing yarns, the yams of each set extending in a different direction, whereby the sets are interlinked by means of stitching or knitting using at least one stitching or knitting yarn. The invention is characterized in that the stitching or knitting yarn has a yarn count of less than or equal to 30 dTex, preferably less than or equal to 25 dTex, in accordance with standard EN ISO 2060.
