Expansion permitting arrangement and method of joining members
Abstract
Abstract THIS INVENTION RELATES TO THE USE OF A NOVEL CROSSFIBRED TAPE BY THE USE OF WHICH A WIDE VARIETY OF STRUCTURAL TEMPERATURE-RESISTANT MATERIALS CAN BE JOINED TOGETHER. THIS TAPE CAN CONSIST OF A LARGE NUMBER OF SHOT FIBERS, SUCH AS OF FIBERGLASS, THAT ARE HELD TOGETHER BY A CENTER MEMBER EXTENDING THE LENGTH OF THE TAPE, BUT LEAVING BOTH ENDS OF THE FIBERS FREE AND THEREFORE AVAILABLE TO BE JOINED SUCH AS BY ADHESIVE MEANS IS THE TWO MATERIAL THAT ARE TO BE ACCURED TOGETHER. EVEN THOUGH RELATIVE MOTION TAKES PLACE BETWEEN THE TWO MATERIALS, DUE FOR EXAMPLE TO HEATING EFFECTS, THE TINY FIBERS SERVE IN A HIGHLY ADVANTAGEOUS MANNER TO PREVENT COMPLETE SEPARATION OF THE TWO MATERIALS.
