МЕТАЛЛИЧЕСКАЯ ТКАНЬ, РАСПОЛОЖЕНИЕ МЕТАЛЛИЧЕСКОЙ ТКАНИ И СПОСОБ ИЛЛЮМИНАЦИИ

Изобретение относится к области светотехники, и может быть использовано при подсветке зданий. Техническим результатом является улучшение эксплуатационных возможностей путем повышения устойчивости и упрощения замены ламп. Технический результат достигается за счет выполнения несущего структурного элемента осветительной системы в виде металлической ткани. Замену ламп выполняют за счет интегрирования крепления носителей ламп в ткань, что обеспечивает извлечение носителя ламп из ткани и последующую установку в ткань без дезинтеграции крепления носителей ламп. В качестве альтернативного решения крепление носителей ламп располагают на металлической ткани или металлическом занавесе, а затем закрепляют носители ламп. При этом предпочтительно применение зажимов. 6 н. и 20 з.п. ф-лы, 7 ил.

A novel method of weaving is described wherein warp and weft are supplied in the form of tapes, and not yarns. The method, which is preferably carried out in vertical format, essentially includes feeding positively flat tensionless warp for shedding and taking-up; selecting, feeding positively and inserting weft tapes of different widths and thickness by gripping in its fore end in flat condition; depositing inserted weft at fabric-fell in a flat condition without beating-up; and taking-up the woven material that comprises either same or different widths of flat wefts. The warps and wefts, preferably of partially stabilized type of fibrous tapes, can be overfed in a tensionless, positive and controlled manner when required to make the fibres of constituent fibrous tapes occur non-linearly in the form of wave/texture during weaving. Extra warps and wefts can be also fed in tandem whereby the warps and wefts become composed of two or more unconnected, mutually slipping, flat tapes in a stacked arrangement. These doubled warp and wefts function effectively as a unit warp and weft during weaving and in the fabric. The method also makes possible to produce other materials such as those with slant weft tapes in relation to warp, having a shape within the body of the fabric and warp and weft tapes of shaped edges.
