A woven sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve has a wall with opposite edges extending lengthwise along a longitudinal axis between opposite ends, wherein the opposite edges are wrappable into overlapping relation with one another to contain the wires within a cavity of the sleeve. The wall is constructed from warp yarns extending along the longitudinal axis and fill yarns extending transversely to the warp yarns. The fill yarns are provided as transparent or substantially transparent monofilaments and the warp yarns are provided as yarns including a multifilament yarn and at least one conductive wire, wherein the conductive wire wrapped about the multifilament yarn.

A metal fabric (10) has a sheet form, using metal threads for warp (30) as the warp, and metal threads for weft (20) as the weft, wherein each of the metal threads for warp (30) and the metal threads for weft (20) has an average diameter of 0.03 mm or larger and 0.09 mm or smaller, the metal threads for warp (30) and the metal threads for weft (20) may be plain-woven, and the metal fabric (10) may be shaped in a square with a side of 100 mm or longer and 200 mm or shorter.

A wrappable textile sleeve for protecting a conductive elongate member against at least one of EMI, RFI or ESD and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a plurality of warp filaments and at least one weft filament woven with one another to form a woven substrate. The woven substrate has opposite sides extending lengthwise between opposite ends. The opposite sides are wrappable about a central longitudinal axis into overlapping relation with one another to circumferentially enclose the elongate member within a cavity of the sleeve. At least some of the warp filaments are provided as generally flat, thin conductive filaments shield the conductive elongate member against the effects of EMI, RFI and/or ESD.

A flexible reinforced strap for use with baggage as a level of security against theft includes a plurality of warp threads, one or more flexible reinforcing members, and a weft thread. The flexible reinforced strap is of a multi-layered construction, including an intermediate layer situated between a top and a bottom layer. The plurality of warp threads and the one or more flexible reinforcing members are arranged within the plurality of layers, and a weft thread is interwoven to form the flexible reinforced strap.

A metal fabric (10) uses warp metal wires (40) as the warp, and weft metal wires (50) as the weft, where the warp metal wires (40) and the weft metal wires (50) are composed of different metal materials. A curtain (100) as an interior decoration uses the metal fabric (10). A partition member (200) is configured to have the metal fabric (10) and a frame (210) which supports the outer circumference of the metal fabric (10). A clothing is configured to contain the metal fabric (10), and an electromagnetic shielding member is configured to contain the metal fabric (10).

The invention relates to a masonry reinforcement structure (100) comprising at least two assemblies (102) of grouped metal filaments, at least one positioning element (104) for positioning the assemblies (102) of grouped metal filaments in a predetermined position and a polymer coating (110) for securing the assemblies (102) of grouped metal filaments in this predetermined position. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such masonry reinforcement structure (100) and to a roll comprising such a masonry reinforcement structure (100). The invention further relates to masonry reinforced with such masonry reinforcement structure (100) and to a method to apply such masonry reinforcement structure (100).

A non-compliant high strength balloon (10) includes a reinforcement member (30) formed of a sleeve of woven or braided strengthening elements (32, 34). There are provided circumferential strengthening elements (32) which are pre-tensed in order to remove any undulations within the strengthening elements (32) and to ensure that these have a precise annular size. On the other hand, the longitudinal strengthening elements (34) have undulations therein. The pre-tensing of the strengthening elements (32) ensures that the balloon will not stretch during pressurization thereof, which can occur when the circumferential strengthening elements have undulations therein, which will be natural artefacts of a weaving or braiding process. The undulations in the longitudinal strengthening elements (34) provides the balloon with increased longitudinal flexibility.

A flame or heat flux protective coating composition, which includes a dispersion of fiberglass, hollow glass spheres, or a combination of both in silicone. A flame or heat flux protective sheet, which includes hollow glass spheres dispersed in silicone in a sheet form or fiberglass and silicone in a sheet form, wherein the fiberglass is dispersed in the silicone or the fiberglass is a woven cloth coated with the silicone is also presented. Articles incorporating the flame or heat flux protective coating or sheet form and methods for coating an article with the flame or heat flux protective coating composition are also presented.

A binding structure of an industrial fabric for binding both ends of a fabric with ends to form it into an endless type has loops formed by bending a portion or all ends of warp constituting the fabric at both ends and folding it back, the loop at the one end constitutes a binding loop which forms a common hole into which a core wire is introduced upon binding, the loop at the other end portion which is opposed to the binding loop to form a pair with the binding loop upon binding has a structure into which the binding loop is fitted and against which the binding loop is locked, and forms a loop hole into which the core wire is not introduced.

Wire cloth comprising a woven structure (2) defined by:

a weave (3) comprising a plurality of first thread-like elements (3a) made of metallic material; and a warp (4) woven with said weave and comprising a plurality of second thread-like elements (4a) made at least partially of metallic material; said structure (2) further comprising at least one lateral area (5) parallel to said warp (4) and having deformation means (6) for occluding channels (7) defined between the first thread-like elements (3a) at said lateral zone (5).
