Stab resistant insert with steel cords and non-woven textile

Abstract

A stab-resistant insert ( 10 ) for protective textile comprises: at least one metal layer of a fabric of metal wires or metal cords ( 12 ); at least one textile layer ( 14, 16 ) The textile layer is in contact with and is connected to the metal layer. The textile layer comprises a non-woven material ( 14, 16 ) The stab-resistant insert combines a high level of stab-resistance with a high degree of comfort.

1 . A stab-resistant insert for protective textile, said insert comprising 
 at least one metal layer of a fabric with metal cords or metal wires;    at least one textile layer;    said textile layer being in contact with and being connected to said metal layer;    characterized in that said textile layer comprises a non-woven material.    
     
     
         2 . A stab-resistant insert according to  claim 1 , said fabric comprising metal cords or metal wires lying in parallel, the distance between said metal cords or metal wires varying between 0.40 mm and 3.2 mm.  
     
     
         3 . A stab-resistant insert according to  claim 2 , wherein said elongated metal elements are unidirectional within said metal layer and wherein said elongated metal elements are bonded to said non-woven material by means of an adhesive or by means of a thermoplastic film.  
     
     
         4 . A stab-resistant insert according to  claim 3 , wherein said insert comprises more than one metal layer.  
     
     
         5 . A stab-resistant insert according to  claim 4 , wherein said more than one metal layers having different directions wherein said elongated metal elements run.  
     
     
         6 . A stab-resistant insert according to  claim 2  wherein said at least one metal layer is multi-directional.  
     
     
         7 . A stab-resistant insert according to  claim 6  wherein said non-woven textile material is bonded to said metal layer by means of an adhes or by means of a thermoplastic film or by means of stitches.  
     
     
         8 . A stab-resistant insert according to any one of claims  2   claim 2 , wherein part of said non-woven material penetrates between the elongated metal elements to decrease the likelihood of shifting the elongated metal elements in said metal layer.  
     
     
         9 . A stab-resistant insert according to  claim 1 , wherein said non-woven material comprises synthetic fibers.  
     
     
         10 . A stab-resistant insert according to  claim 9 , wherein more than thirty per cent of said synthetic fibers is selected from a group consisting of aramid fibers, high-density high-molecular weight polyethylene fibers, poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) fibers, polybenzimidazole fibers, combination thereof.  
     
     
         11 . A stab-resistant insert according to any one of the preceding claims  claim 1 , wherein each metal layer is at both sides in contact with and is connected with a textile layer.  
     
     
         12 . A protective textile product comprising a stab-resistant insert according to claims  1 .
