Abstract
The present webbing has a force-displacement profile characterized by:(a) when the webbing is subjected to a knuckle point force in the range from about 400 pounds (about 1.8 kilonewtons) to about 900 pounds (about 4.0 kilonewtons), the webbing elongates to less than about five percent;(b) upon subjecting the webbing to greater than the knuckle point force and to less or equal to about 1, 400 pounds (about 6.2 kilonewtons), the webbing elongates further to at least about ten percent;and (c) upon subjecting the webbing to greater than 1,400 pounds (about 6.2 kilonewtons), the modulus increases sharply and the webbing elongates further until the webbing breaks at a tensile strength of at least about 5,000 pounds (about 22 kilonewtons). The present webbing is useful for seat belts, parachute harnesses and lines, shoulder harnesses, cargo handling, safety nets, trampolines, safety belts or harnesses for workers at high altitudes, military arrestor tapes for slowing aircraft, ski tow lines, and in cordage applications such as for yacht mooring or oil derrick mooring.
Description
TAPE FOR LIMITED LOAD
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A typical vehicle seat safety belt system 3 is designed to restrict the displacement of an occupant with respect to the sitting position of the occupant inside the vehicle when the vehicle experiences a sudden, sharp deceleration (See Patent. US 3 322 163) A typical 0-seat belt has three main portions of the retractor belt, the torso belt and the lap belt and the operation of each belt can be characterized by its force displacement curve. The area under the curve of Force displacement is termed as the energy absorbed by the safety restriction Current vehicle safety seat belts are made of fully stretched polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") fiber that is partially or partially relaxed (2 7%) and that has a tenacity of at least 7 5 grams / demer and 14% elongation at break The regulation gubernam In the USA, it is required that the seat belts should withstand loads up to 2 721 60 kilograms (6,000 pounds). However, there is a problem with the current PET fiber seat belts. The impact studies indicate that after the Initial impact of the vehicle (v gr at a speed of approximately 66 71 kilometers (36 miles) per hour), the occupant tends to) move forward from its seated position until the belt engages the built-in restraining forces As indicated in Figure 1 the non-yielding cmturon relatively made of PET fiber exerts a force of at least 2 000 liters (approximately Q 9 000 Newtons) against the occupant in the torso position of the seat cmturon so as to cause the occupant to have damage elevated chest, rib box head neck and back when the occupant bounces and impacts the back structure of the seat assembly 5 When a car collides with a veil 66 71 km (35 miles) per hour an impact energy that an average-sized person in the car undergoes is at least 500 joules in the torso cmturon Even though the current PET fiber can absorb the energy of Impact Damage to Vehicle Occupant Still Occurs Due to the Undesirable Friction Displacement Curve of the Fiber In 70 milliseconds a passenger of average size will experience high forces of up to 2,000 pounds (approximately 9,000 Newtons) as shown in the Figure In order to absorb the impact energy and to reduce the load of the seat belt against the occupant of the vehicle, US Patent 3,550,957 discloses a shoulder harness having double stitched sections of the belt disposed above the occupant's shoulder in a manner that the seam allows the tape to extend from an initial length to a final length at a controlled rate under the influence of a restraining force However, the stitched sections do not provide the desirable amount of energy absorption, do not provide uniform response, and are not reusable in multiple crashes. See also US Patent 4,138,157. US Patent 3,530,904 describes a finished fabric which it is constructed by weaving two kinds of yarns having relatively different physical properties and demonstrating energy absorption capacity US Patents 3,296,062, 3,464,459 3,756,288 3,823,748, 3,872,895, 3,926,227, 4,228,829,
376 440 and Japanese Patent 4-257336 further describe tapes that are constructed of multiple kinds of warp yarns having different tenacity and elongations at break DE 19513259A1 describes tapes that are constructed with short warp yarns that will absorb the stress load initial that acts on the tape and also longer warp ice that will absorb the subsequent stress load acting on the tape Those experienced in this technical area have recognized the deficiencies when using at least two different types of yarns as taught by the previous references US Patent 4, 710 423 and Kokai Patent Publication 298209 published on December Ia, 1989 ("Publication 298209") teach that when at least two different types of yarn are used, the absorption of energy occurs in a stepwise manner and in this manner, the tape does not absorb the energy continuously and evenly. Therefore, after one type of wire absorbs a portion of the impact energy and before another type of wire absorbs another portion of the impact energy, the human body is exposed to An Undesirable Shock UK Patent 947,661 discloses a seat belt that is subjected to an elongation greater than or equal to 33 percent when subjected to at least 70% of the breaking load. This reference does not teach or suggest the present thread. LOAD LIMITATION US Patent 3 486,791 discloses energy absorbing devices such as a wound device that separates a loose section of the belt from the restriction section of the belt. Tensioning means by clamping means that yield under a predetermined restraining force to gradually feed the loose section so that the taut section is lengthened allowing the restricted body to move at a controlled speed. The reference also describes a device that anchors the belt to the vehicle by an anchor member fixed to the frame and embedded in a solid plastic energy absorber These kinds of mechanical devices are expensive, are not reusable, provide low energy absorption and are difficult to control. An improvement over the above devices is taught by the US Patent 5,547,143 which discloses a load absorption retractor comprising a rotating reel, a seat belt strap secured to the spool, and at least one movable bushing, which responds to the loads generated during a shock situation, by deforming a portion of the reel and by doing so dissipating a quantity This type of mechanical device is integrated with a specific amount of load limitation and energy absorption towards occupants of a certain size, and can not be adjusted to the needs of occupants of different size in the real transport scenario. this kind of mechanical device is not reusable to limit the load in multiple crashes since the spool is permanently deformed in the first crash of the vehicle i US Patent 4,710,423 and Publication
298209 describe tape comprised of relaxed polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") yarns having tenacity of at least 4 grams / demer and a final elongation of 50% to 80% due to the inherent physical properties of the PET yarn ( v gr, glass transition temperature = 75SC) the examples of US Patent 4,710,423 and Publication 298209 show that at 5% elongation, the load has already reached more than 1,500 pounds (approximately 6,700 Newtons).
damage to the occupant by the seat belt still exists and in this way, the belt material needs to be further modified. The examples in these two patents also show that if the PET yarn relaxes excessively, the yarn tenacity drops to 2 3 0 grams / denier Kokai Patent Publication 90717 published April 4, 1995 describes fiber-based energy absorption appointment of polybutylene terephthalate ("PBT") homopolymer of high strength Tenacity
of the fiber is more than 5 8 grams / denier, the elongation at break is more than 18 0% and the stress at 10% elongation is less than 3 0 grams / denier However, this reference fails to teach fiber of PBT demonstrating the initial stress requirement that engages the seat belt to protect the occupant and the medium to control the initial stress barrier A low initial thread stress barrier results in a point of low knuckle strength of the finished seat belt which allows excessive excursion of the occupant and leads to serious damage The present inventors in the commonly assigned US patent application Serial No. 08 / 788,895, filed on April 18, 19971, the allowed US patent application No. 08 / 819,931, filed March 18, 1997 and US Patent Application Serial No. 09/083 493 filed May 22, 1998, have provided a load limiting seat belt with an absorption of improved energy, which has a smoother operation than that of the known sewn tape approach or the known use of at least two different fibers is reusable in multiple shocks unlike the mechanical fastener approach and known device and also directs the ability to control The barrier of initial effort and the absorption of impact energy from vehicle occupants of different sizes See also Murphy T, "Buckling Up for the Future", WARD 's Auto World, 95 (1997) It would be advantageous to have a process to dye and stabilize the load limitation seat belt with improved energy absorption including an acceptable knuckle point force, where the process would not be detrimental to the belt's energy absorption properties. Known processes for dyeing PET fiber exist. US 2,934,397 and 3,098 691 teach a process of dyeing PET fiber discharge that c it comprises treating the fiber around the boiling temperature, i.e., 100 ° C., with an aqueous dispersion of a dispersion dye in the presence of a carrier comprising dimethyl ether or dioxane respectively. US Patent 3,154,374 teaches a process for improving fiber of PET by dyeing, which comprises treating the filaments for a period of 104 seconds to ten seconds at a temperature of 200 ° C to 350 ° C with a casting agent, v dimethyl ester of sebacic acid, before dyeing. Those experienced in this technical area have recognized deficiencies in using the carrier as taught by the above references The background section of US Patent 3,841,831 teaches that the so-called "carrier" process is not completely satisfactory since the addition of carrier makes the dyeing process more expensive and the colors obtained by this method have had less than the desired firmness. often exhibit some degree of toxicity, often have strong odors, and can be difficult to remove from fibers This reference also teaches a process for dyeing PET fiber by dipping the fiber in dyeing liquor for more than ten minutes and using dry heat at a temperature between 120SC to 230SC Man-Made Fibers, Volume 3, page 537 (1968) teaches the thermosol process which involves lining fabric with aqueous dispersion of water insoluble dye, drying the lined fabric, and exposing at high temperature (120 to 200SC) US Patent 3,418,065 teaches a process for dyeing fabrics comprising PET fibers using steam at approximately 120 ° C under pressure in a sealed container US Patent 3,614,798 teaches a process for establishing a reactive dye on a dyed ribbon wherein the process comprises passing the ribbon or tension of 28 12- 35 15 kilograms per square centimeter (400-500 pounds per square inch) through a vapor atmosphere at about 104SC at superatmospheric pressure 0 09-0 16 kilograms per square centimeter (1 3-2 3 pounds per square inch) until the dye is established US Patent 3 895 909 teaches a process of dry dyeing, washing, and drying of PET fabrics for seat belts Dyed and pre-dried fabrics are heat-sealed in an infrared oven set at a temperature of approximately 2052C which is close to the PET melting temperature of 2659C Example 1 shows that the tension on the contraction belt varied from 45 36 -136 08 kilograms (100-300 lbs) See also British Patent 1 556 917 It would be desirable to have a process for effectively dyeing cargo limitation seat belts while especially making the stress-fatigue curve of the resulting dyed belt. , as the use of polyester materials has increased in the automotive industry, it becomes more necessary that the polyester meets the requirements of dye fixation and Ultraviolet ("UV") Stability US Patent 4,902,299 teaches that the automotive industry requires dyed fabrics to withstand 488 8 kilograms / meter2 (KJ / m2) of exposure in the Xenon Arc Weather-O ether. UV light (outdoors) presents a serious problem, such as a high level of ink fading, loss of resistance degradation of physical property and change of stress-fatigue curve of the seat belt of load limitation It would be desirable to have a belt of load limiting seat with good ink fixation and improved UV stability
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention responds to the above needs by providing a belt having a force displacement profile characterized by (a) when the belt is subjected to a knuckle point force on the scale of approximately 400 pounds (about 1 8 kilonewtons) to around 900 pounds (approximately 4 0 ki lonewtons), the tape stretches from less than about five percent, (b) by subjecting the tape to more than knuckle point strength and less or equal to about 1,400 pounds (approximately 6 2 kilonewtons), the tape lengthens further to at least about ten percent, and (c) when the tape is subjected to more than 1,400 pounds (approximately 6 2 kilonewtons) the module sharply increases and the tape is further lengthened until the tape breaks at a tensile strength of at least about 5,000 pounds (approximately 22 kilonewtons) Preferably, the tape in part (a) is stretched to less than about three percent Preferably, the tape in part (b) is lengthened to at least about 15 percent The term "knuckle point force" as used herein means about the curve of displacement of force, a point of intersection of an extrapolation line from a sharply inclined portion of the curve appearing at an initial stage of stretching of the belt with an extrapolation line from a slightly inclined portion of the curve appearing after stretching Initial tape For example, see Figure 2 The term "module" as used herein means the inclination of the force displacement curve The present invention is advantageous because the present tape has better absorption of impact energy and a smoother operation than that of the known sewn tape approach or the known use of at least two different fibers, is reuse unlike the known mechanical device, and also directed to the ability to control the initial stress barrier and the impact energy absorption The present invention also provides a process for dyeing and stabilizing the tape while maintaining the stress curve -desirable screening of the tape Other advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description, accompanying drawings, and appended claims

This component is present in an amount greater than 10 percent. Examples of preferred block copolymers include diblock, tpblock and segmented block structure. Block copolymers comprise at least one hard crystalline aromatic polyester block and at least one soft amorphous aliphatic polyester block. The crystalline aromatic polyester includes homopolymers such as polyethylene terephthalate ("PET"), polytrimethylene terephthalate terephthalate full polybutylene. polusobuty full terephthalate, poly (2, 2-d? meth? propylene), poly [bis- (hydroxymethyl) cyclohexene terephthalate], polyethylene naphthalate ("PEN"), polybutylene naphthalate, poly [naphthalate] bis- (hydroxymethyl) -cyclohexene talate], other polyalkylene or poly-alkylalkylene naphthalates and the mixed polyethers which, in addition to the ethylene terephthalate unit, contain components such as ethylene isophthalate, ethylene adipate, ethylene terephthalate sebacate 1,3-c-chlorhexylene dimethylene, or other long-chain alkylene terephthalate units Commercially available aromatic polyesters can be used A mixture of aromatic polyesters can also be used The most preferred aromatic polyesters include PET and PEN Preferably, in the block copolymer, the amorphous aliphatic polyester block is made of lactone monomer Preferred lactone monomers include
e-caprolactone, propiolactone butyrolactone valerolactone and higher cyclic lactones The most preferred lactone monomer is e-caprolactone. Commercially available lactone monomers can be used. Two or more types of lactones can be used simultaneously. The PET-polycaprolecone block copolymer can have a polycaprolactone concentration of preferably from about 10 to about 30 weight percent. In the block copolymer, the concentration of polycaprolactone can be varied to achieve tape having the initial stress barrier Desired and absorption of impact energy with load limiting operation Preferably, the process for making a useful block copolymer in the yarn of the present charge limiting tape occurs in a twin screw extruder and comprises the consecutive steps of ( A) sending aromatic polyester melt to an injection position in a twin screw extruder wherein the aromatic polyester melt has (i) an intrinsic viscosity which is measured in a mixture of 60/40 by weight phenol and tetrachloroethane and is at least about 0 6 deci 1 itro / grarno and (ii) a Newtonian melt viscosity which is calculated to be when less about 7,000 poises at 280SC, (B) inject lactone monomer towards the -1!

The aromatic polyester is added to the twin screw extruder. The aromatic polyester can be melted and then fed by a melt pump to the extruder. Double screw or aromatic polyester can be fed in pellet form fed by a feeder of loss weight to The double screw extruder and then melt into the twin screw extruder As those skilled in the art know, a weight loss feeder has a hopper filled with granules and the feed rate is controlled by weight loss of the granules from the Hopper If the aromatic polyester melt from a reactor is used as the starting material, nearby transport elements can be used to send the melting downstream. If the aromatic polyester granules are used as the starting material, preferably elements of open, open-to-closed and closed-open transport are assembled below the feed position in the twin-screw extruder to melt the granules and send the downstream melt to the injection position. It has been found that using a twin screw extruder by mixing and the reaction of the aromatic polyester melt with the mon Lactone oxide having a drastic viscosity difference becomes feasible The useful double screw extruders are commercially available however, the mixing elements and the sequence of element arrangement thereof in the twin screw extruder needed for the present invention are critical and are described below. Preferred double screw extruders are double screw extruders of m-coupling. A single screw extruder such as taught by US Patent 4,045,401 is not useful in the present invention because an extruder single screw does not provide rapid mixing residence time, residence time distribution, melt stirring and process control required for the present invention The initial extrusion temperature exceeds the melting point (as measured by Perkin-Elmer Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) from the maximum of the endotherm resulting from scanning a sample of 2 milligrams at 20SC per minute) of the aromatic polyester used. The melting points of the preferred aromatic polyesters are 250aC for PET and 2669C for PEN. The preferred initial extrusion zone temperature is at least about 30C above. of the melting point of aromatic polyester In this way, the preferred initial extrusion temperature for PET is at least about 280aC while the preferred initial extrusion temperature for PEN is at least about 296aC Step (B) to make the copolymer of block comprises injecting lactone monomer towards the molten aromatic polyester d step (A) Preferably a piston pump is used to inject the lactone monomer at a constant rate towards the aromatic polyester melt. Preferably the lactone monomer is pre-mixed with catalysts at room temperature. Commercially available catalysts can be used. Preferred catalysts are metal-based organometallics such as lithium, sodium potassium, rubidium, cesium, magnesium, inorganic acid salts, organic acid salts of oxides and calcium alkoxides, barium, strontium zinc, aluminum, titanium, cobalt, germanium, tin, lead, antimony, arsenic. boron cadmium and manganese, and their organometallic complexes The most preferred catalysts are organic acid salts and organometallic compounds of tin, aluminum, and titanium.
