TINKLE-FREE KNITTED WIRE MESH FILTERS AND METHODS FOR MAKING SUCH FILTERS

Номер: US20140245578A1
Автор: Greenwood George
Принадлежит: ACS Industries, Inc.

“Tinkles” (also known as “gotchas”) (see reference number in FIGS. and ) are portions of knitted metal loops produced when a tube of knitted wire mesh is cut into individual pieces. In the prior art, tinkles have been considered a fact of life and the approach has been to try to shake them out of the mesh or immobilize them on or in the mesh. By producing a knitted tube () having alternating segments () of knitted rows of yarn and knitted rows of wire, completely tinkle-free knitted socks are produced which are used to produce completely tinkle-free knitted wire mesh filters. Knitted wire mesh filters that cannot release tinkles because they do not have any tinkles can be used in such applications as fuel filters and airbag filters. 2. The method of wherein the knitted tube or a separated portion thereof is treated with a solvent in which (i) the wire is insoluble and (ii) at least a portion of the yarn is soluble.3. The method of wherein:(i) the yarn comprises fibers that are bonded to one another by an adhesive;(ii) the fibers are insoluble in the solvent; and(iii) the adhesive is soluble in the solvent.4.
