Anti-vandalism and cut resistant fabric

Abstract

The present invention relates to a fabric comprising at least two layers and/or two directions of individual elements of which at least one individual element is a reinforced element comprising a metal component, preferable a steel component, which elements are interwoven but have only an indirect connection created by chemicals, plastics, rubbers or by a connection elements which are weaker than the reinforced element. The invention further relates to the use of said fabric as an anti-vandalism and/or cutting resistant fabric.

1 . Fabric comprising at least two layers and/or two directions of individual elements of which at least one individual element is a reinforced element comprising a metal component, preferably a steel component, which elements are not interwoven but have only an indirect connection created by chemicals, plastics, rubbers or by a connection elements which are weaker than the reinforced element.  
   
   
       2 . Fabric according to  claim 1  whereby the angle between the individual elements differs from 90°.  
   
   
       3 . Fabric according to  claim 1  having at least three different layers and/or directions of individual elements.  
   
   
       4 . Fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the individual elements are connected by knitting and/or by stitching.  
   
   
       5 . Fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the individual elements are connected by plastic, chemicals or rubber.  
   
   
       6 . Fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the individual elements are connected by another textile means such as non-woven.  
   
   
       7 - 8 . (cancel).  
   
   
       9 . Fabric according to  claim 1  in which at least one of the individual elements is partly or wholly conductive (electro-conductive) and at least partly insulated.  
   
   
       10 . Fabric according to  claim 1  in which the different individual elements have at least two different compositions of material.  
   
   
       11 . Fabric according to  claim 1  in which the individual elements are covered by a material by spinning, winding, twisting or any other way to have fibers or filaments around the elements.  
   
   
       12 . Fabric according to  claim 1  in which at least some of the individual elements are covered by plastic and/or rubber.  
   
   
       13 . (cancel).  
   
   
       14 . Fabric according to  claim 1 , comprising a weft reinforcement individual element (A) and a warp reinforcement individual element (B), a weft binding individual element (C) and a warp binding individual element (D).  
   
   
       15 . Fabric according to  claim 14 , of which the main reinforcement individual elements are only interwoven, interknit or interconnected at a distance of at least 3 mm, preferably 5 mm and more preferably more than 10 mm.  
   
   
       16 - 40 . (cancel).
