Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fabric, in particular a stab protection fabric according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the fabric can also be used for other purposes, eg. B. used as jewelry fabric.
  • a fabric is known from DE 30 39 520 A1 on which the preamble of claim 1 is based, in which the scales of the various rows are connected to the scales of the adjacent rows.
  • a flat connection with a tile roof-like overlap is not realized there, since the individual scales in the respective row abut at best. Therefore, in order to obtain armor, it is necessary for the fabric to be embedded in additional material, or for several fabrics to be arranged one behind the other. Only then can this tissue actually offer sufficient resistance to a stitch. However, this leads to a considerable weight gain of a stab protection fabric produced in this way.
  • stab protection fabrics for personal protection are fabrics which are produced by providing scales with bores and then connecting the individual scales to one another by means of wire. This type of production is relatively complex, but at least meets the security requirements in Europe.
  • stab protection fabrics e.g. In the butcher trade, wire protection fabrics are used, which consist of a large number of interconnected rings.
  • the object of the invention is to create a fabric which is inexpensive to manufacture and which also meets increased safety requirements.
  • the scales are no longer with each other via separate connecting elements, such as. B. wire rings connected together.
  • the connecting elements are directly molded onto the scales, so that the scales overlap automatically when the various scales are connected. This makes it no longer possible to pass sticklebacks between the scales.
  • the only place that can possibly still be penetrated are the bores into which the connecting elements are immersed, but the diameter of which can be adapted to the respective requirements in such a way that there is almost no risk.
  • the connecting elements themselves are made of the same material as the scales, so that they cannot be easily bent open, even if an attacker tries to penetrate the tissue by force. Despite the resulting flat connection of the tissue itself, the interplay of the bore and the connecting element results in sufficient mobility.
  • the fabric is also suitable for other areas of application such as B. suitable in jewelry or decoration. There is not only an aesthetic, largely closed exterior, due to the largely existing mobility, this fabric can even be used for many purposes, such as. B. can be used as a bracelet or as a basic material for the production of bags.
  • the individual scale can have any shape, but a square shape is preferably chosen according to claims 5 and 6, the corners of which are rounded.
  • a square shape is preferably chosen according to claims 5 and 6, the corners of which are rounded.
  • the fabric according to FIGS. 4 and 5 consists of a plurality of interconnected scales 10, 11, 12, which have bores 10a, 11a, 12a for connection to one another, into which connecting elements 10b, 11b, 12b are immersed in the form of connecting arms.
  • This fabric can e.g. can be used as a stitch protection fabric because it offers increased resistance to a puncture due to the overlap. As a result, this fabric also meets the requirements which require that the fabric be approved as a stab protection fabric that a piercing by means of an ice pick or stickle is not possible.
  • the fabric can also be used for other purposes, be it with the outside according to FIG. 4 to the outside or with the inside according to FIG. 5.
  • it can be used in the jewelry sector or in the manufacture of metallic fabrics for receptacles, e.g. Bags on.
  • the scales are arranged so that they overlap like a tile roof.
  • the connecting elements 10b, 11b, 12b, 13b are formed directly on the scales 10, 11, 12, 13.
  • the scales 10 which are identical in their basic form to one another, overlap at least two adjacent scales 14 in the tissue (FIG. 5) and are overlapped by at least two scales 11.
  • the scale preferably has a shape as shown in FIG. 1.
  • Each bore 10a is opposite a connecting arm designed as a connecting element 10b on the other side of the scale substantially diametrically opposite the center of this surface.
  • the scale itself has an even number of sides 10c ... 10f or in Fig. 6 12c ... 12h, the sides containing a bore 10a, 12a lying side by side and the sides in which at least one connecting element 10b is molded, also lie side by side.
  • the overlapping pages and the overlapped pages are each next to each other. This results in the desired tiled roof-like configuration, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the scales overlap from row to row but also in the respective row.
  • the basic shape of the scales as in Fig. 1 or 3 is a square with rounded corners, which is preferably a square.
  • the square shape leads to an optimal arrangement of the scales, since with constant stab protection security the mobility is increased compared to other shapes or angular shapes and at the same time it can be ensured that a full area overlap takes place. Nevertheless, other shapes, such as a hexagonal shape according to FIG. 6, are also possible, provided only a corresponding overlap can be ensured. However, if such shapes are chosen and / or the corners are not rounded, the fabric is locked earlier, so that the mobility suffers.
  • Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of the individual scales side by side.
  • the connecting element 10b of the overlapping scale 10 engages in FIG. 2 from below in the bore 11a.
  • the connecting element 10b is then bent and bent back over the overlapping scale 11 to the overlapped scale 10. This continues until the end 10b 'of the connecting element 10b bears against the overlapped scale 10 again.
  • any material that can be plastically deformed can be used as a material for the scales.
  • Plastics, especially in the jewelry sector, are just as little excluded from this as precious metals.
  • the material should be suitable to be able to ward off corresponding attacks with the scale itself.
  • the fabric is therefore preferably metallic.
  • the ends 10b 'of the connecting elements are tapered and rounded on the end face.
