US Patent 5,070,914 (granted 10 December 1991) describes a triaxial textile fabric for reinforcing composite materials. Oblique yarns radiate from the center and a circumferential yarn is woven spirally between them, with adjacent oblique yarns interlaced in a braiding-like action. The fabric gives isotropic elasticity and can be shaped into domes and other shells of revolution. The patent gives claims, a description of the weaving apparatus with spindle chucks, shuttles and a die, a test weaving, graphs of thermal expansion and modulus against latitude, and drawings. Certificates of correction are included.
