Textile structure element and method for producing same

Abstract

The invention relates to a textile structure element, having textile stretch elements and integrated textile support elements, wherein, in places, the stretch elements and the support elements are interconnected and allow, at least in part, a spatial expansion of at least one fillable stretch element and/or support element.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A textile structural element, having textile stretch elements and integrated textile supporting elements, wherein said stretch elements and the supporting elements are portionally interconnected and at least partially allow a spatial expansion of at least one inflatable stretch element and/or supporting element, characterized in that said textile stretch elements and/or textile supporting elements are configured woven in one piece, i.e. as OPW (OPW=one-piece-woven) airbags or as single and multilayer woven textile sheeting provided with air chambers. 
     
     
         2 . The textile structural element as set forth in  claim 1 , characterized by contractible stretch elements and spatially expandable or constant supporting elements. 
     
     
         3 . The textile structural element as set forth in  claim 1 , characterized by a first fabric layer (I) comprising textile stretch elements, a second fabric layer (II) comprising fabric supporting elements and a third fabric layer (III) comprising textile stretch elements. 
     
     
         4 . The textile structural element as set forth in  claim 3 , characterized by a fourth fabric layer (IV) comprising textile supporting elements. 
     
     
         5 . The textile structural element as set forth in  claim 1 , characterized by a first fabric layer (I) comprising non-inflatable textile stretch elements, a second fabric layer (II) comprising inflatable textile supporting elements and a third fabric layer (III) comprising non-inflatable textile stretch elements. 
     
     
         6 . The textile structural element as set forth in  claim 5 , characterized by a fourth fabric layer (IV) comprising inflatable fabric supporting elements and a fifth fabric layer (V) comprising inflatable textile stretch elements. 
     
     
         7 . The textile structural element, as set forth in  claim 1 , comprising at least partially inflatable stretch elements and supporting elements, characterized in that said stretch elements and/or the supporting elements are individually inflatable, and in that the outer shape of the textile structural element can be changed by inflating. 
     
     
         8 . The textile structural element as set forth in  claim 7 , characterized in that said structural element can be rendered curved. 
     
     
         9 . The textile structural element as set forth in  claim 7 , characterized in that said structural element is adapted to grip and/or hold and/or clamp objects. 
     
     
         10 . A method of producing a textile structural element as set forth in  claim 3 , characterized in that one-piece-woven (OPW=one-piece-woven) airbags or textile sheeting woven single and multilayer and provided with air chambers ( 31 ) and portions of fabric sheeting are stitched together.
