ABSTRACT:
A flexible longitudinally continuous tape construction is disclosed for use in joining mating edges of juxtaposed members, the tape having an X-like configuration transversely of its length to provide paired legs adapted to receive and be secured along the edges of members to be joined. The tape is capable of serving as a pliable hinge to permit articulation of the joined members about an axis which may or may not be rectilinear; or it may also serve simply as a binding for joining members intended to be fixed relative to each other. The tape construction combines two sets of connector strand means running crosswise of the longitudinal axis of the tape, the strands in one set intersecting and crossing those of the other set to form an axis of intersection along the tape which is flanked by the four legs of the X, while other means are disposed along each leg integrating the connector strands to form with them porous matted portions spaced outwardly of the axis of the X to leave an open center in which the two sets of connector strands are free to shift relative to each other within the limits of the open center defined by the matted portions while retaining a definite single axis of articulation.
