Abstract

A fabric having first section and having first pores created by the interlacings of yarn in a first pattern, and having a first average pore size. The fabric also includes a second fabric section having second fabric pores created by the interlacings of yarn in a second pattern, and a second average pore size. The number of first interlacings of yarn is greater than the number of second interlacings of yarn. The first fabric provides strength to the second fabric. The first fabric pattern designed to mitigate any unravel of a second pore yarn in the event it is severed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A fabric comprising:
 a first fabric section comprising first fabric pores created by first interlacings of yarn in a first pattern, and having a first average pore size;   a second fabric section having second fabric pores created by second interlacings of yarn in a second pattern, and a second average pore size, wherein the number of first interlacings of yarn is greater than the number of second interlacings of yarn; and   an interface created between the first fabric section and the second fabric section,   whereby the first interlacings enhance the strength of the second fabric section and reduce the potential for fray.   
     
     
         2 . The fabric of  claim 1  wherein the first fabric section surrounds the second fabric section. 
     
     
         3 . The fabric of  claim 1  wherein the first average pore size is at least 100% smaller than the second average pore size. 
     
     
         4 . The fabric of  claim 1  wherein the weight of the first fabric section is at least 50% greater than the weight of the second fabric section. 
     
     
         5 . The fabric of  claim 1  wherein the thickness of the first fabric section is at least 10% greater than the thickness of the second fabric section. 
     
     
         6 . The fabric of  claim 1  wherein the burst strength of the first fabric section is at least 50% greater than the burst strength of the second fabric section. 
     
     
         7 . The fabric of  claim 1  wherein the number of first interlacings is at least 50% more than the number of second interlacings. 
     
     
         8 . The fabric of  claim 1  wherein the percentage of open area of the first fabric section is about 7% less than the percentage of open area of the second section. 
     
     
         9 . The fabric of  claim 1  wherein the fabric is knit. 
     
     
         10 . The fabric of  claim 1  wherein the fabric is woven. 
     
     
         11 . A method of creating a reinforced mesh fabric, comprising the steps of:
 creating a first fabric section having first fabric pores created by first interlacings of yarn in a first pattern, and having a first average pore size;   creating a second fabric section having second fabric pores created by second interlacings of yarn in a second pattern, and a second average pore size, wherein the number of first interlacings of yarn is greater than the number of second interlacings of yarn;   whereby the first interlacings enhance the strength of the second fabric section and reduce the potential for fray.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the first fabric section surrounds the second fabric section. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the difference in average pore size between the first average pore size and the second average pore size is at least 100%. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the difference in weight between the first and second fabric sections is at least 50%. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the difference in thickness between the first and second fabrics is at least 10%. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the burst strength between the first and second fabric sections is at least 50%. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the number of first interlacings is at least 50% more than the number of second interlacings. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the percentage of open area of the first fabric section is about 7% less than the percentage of open area of the second section. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the first and second fabric sections are knit. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the first and second fabric sections are woven.
