A method of making an elastomeric coated fabric container utilizing cured elastomeric coated fabric and adhering the edges of each layer of fabric to the other with an adhesive film and curing the adhesive film under heat and pressure to form said container.

Method of making an elastomeric fabric container

A flexible, fabric-reinforced, complex-shaped container comprises a fabric reinforcement material and at least one facing layer of a polymeric or elastomeric material, said fabric comprised of yarns capable of changing their effective lengths upon being shaped to a complex mold configuration and thereafter maintained in that shaped condition by curing of the composite material. The method of the invention comprises applying a differential pressure to the fabric reinforced composite in a concave mold having the desired complex configuration to move the composite into the mold cavities as the effective length of the yarns change to conform to the mold and thereafter curing of the composite so as to set the composite to the mold shape.

Fabric-reinforced, flexible-walled container and method of making said

A pneumatic pad comprises reinforcement fabrics of parallel cords pre-formed to a specific radius through the edges of the pad and press-molded to a very flat pre-pressurized configuration. At least two orthogonally oriented reinforcement fabrics are embedded in elastomer and have lapped ends positioned in opposite covers of the pad such that each cover comprises at least three cord reinforcement plies two of which are oriented orthogonally with respect to the other.
