ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a double woven fabric with sound deadening and low heat transfer qualities for use, in particular, in the manufacture of tops for convertibles.
Prior to this invention it was difficult to reduce the noise transmission and heat transfer into and out of a convertible when the top was up unless the top was multilayered requiring a series of manufacturing operations. This not only required additional fabrics but was costly to produce because of the numerous steps involved in putting the numerous layers together to form a convertible top.
Therefore it is an object of the invention to provide a woven fabric with improved sound deadening and heat transfer properties that is simple to manufacture and is as strong as competitive fabrics.
A further object of the invention is to provide a convertible top fabric having improved sound deadening and heat transfer properties.
