Bonded Tarpaulin

Abstract

A tarpaulin system includes a first panel and a second panel. The tarpaulin system includes a bonded ridgeline coupling the first panel and the second panel. The tarpaulin system includes a plurality of pull-outs located in an upper region of both the first panel and the second panel, the pull-outs include a ridge line support extending along both the first panel and the second panel.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tarpaulin system comprising:
 a first panel;   a second panel;   a bonded ridgeline coupling the first panel and the second panel; and   a plurality of pull-outs located in an upper region of both the first panel and the second panel, the pull-outs include a ridge line support extending along both the first panel and the second panel.   
     
     
         2 . The tarpaulin of  claim 1 , wherein the first panel and second panel are coated with at least eighty percent silicone. 
     
     
         3 . The tarpaulin of  claim 2 , wherein the tarpaulin system includes a plurality of tie materials and hardware to suspend the first panel and the second panel from supports. 
     
     
         4 . The tarpaulin of  claim 3 , wherein the pull-outs further include a d-ring in a central region of the pull-out. 
     
     
         5 . The tarpaulin of  claim 4 , wherein the ridge line support is a flexible rod. 
     
     
         6 . The tarpaulin of  claim 5 , wherein the first panel and the second panel further include a bonded patch at each upper corner of the first panel and second panel. 
     
     
         7 . The tarpaulin of  claim 6 , wherein the first panel and the second panel further include a lower edging located in a lower region of the first panel and the second panel. 
     
     
         8 . The tarpaulin of  claim 7 , wherein the tie materials and hardware include a grommet, a metal ring and a suspension rope. 
     
     
         9 . The tarpaulin of  claim 8 , wherein a fabric of the first panel and the second panel is composed of xenon and ranges between 20 denier and 30 deniers of polyester or nylon. 
     
     
         10 . A method of bonding a tarpaulin system comprising:
 applying a bonding agent to a first panel and a second panel at an upper edge line; the bonding agent's paper backing is then peeled off and the second panel's upper edge line is placed over both the bonding agent and the first panel creating a bonded ridge line;   rolling over the bonding agent of the first panel and the second panel;   sewing a plurality of pull-outs to the first panel and the second panel;   applying a bonding agent on opposite sides of the pull-outs.   
     
     
         11 . The method of bonding the tarpaulin system of  claim 10 , wherein a d-ring of the pull-out is attached with webbing. 
     
     
         12 . The method of bonding the tarpaulin system of  claim 11 , wherein a plurality of ridge line supports are attached to the d-rings and connected to the corresponding d-ring on the opposite panel. 
     
     
         13 . The method of bonding the tarpaulin system of  claim 12 , wherein a set of grommets and metal rings placed and secured on a pair of bonded patches of the bonded ridge line. 
     
     
         14 . The method of bonding the tarpaulin system of  claim 13 , wherein a set of grommets and metal rings are placed and secured at each lower edge corner of the first panel and the second panel. 
     
     
         15 . The method of bonding the tarpaulin system of  claim 14 , wherein a set of grommets and metals rings are placed and secured along a lower edging of the first panel and the second panel. 
     
     
         16 . The method of bonding the tarpaulin system of  claim 15 , wherein a suspension rope is threaded through the grommets and metal rings and is fastened to a support structure.
