• EP-A-0,551,832 and DE-A-2,920,513 also relate to mixed yarns, which, however, are bonded but previously exist as hybrid yarns.
• EP-B-0.325.153 a textile fabric made of polyester yarns with a craquelé effect is known, which partly consists of cold-drawn, more shrinking and partly of warm-drawn, normal-shrinking polyester fibers. With this material, the craquelé effect is brought about by triggering the shrinkage of the higher-shrinking fibers.
• EP-B-0,336,507 discloses a method for compacting a textile fabric made of polyester yarns, which partly consists of cold-drawn, more shrinking and partly of warm-drawn, normal-shrinking polyester fibers. With this material, compression is brought about by triggering the shrinkage of the higher-shrinking fibers.
• hybrid yarns which have a high-melting or infusible filament portion and a thermoplastic lower-melting filament portion to produce fabrics which are heated to above the melting point of the thermoplastic, lower-melting yarn component in fiber-reinforced, rigid thermoplastic sheets, so-called “organic sheets”. can be transferred.

• This method can also be varied in such a way that the reinforcing textile is impregnated into or onto the mold before it is placed or laid on and / or that the reinforcing textile and a thermoplastic matrix resin are pressed into the desired shape in closed molds under pressure, one Working temperature is selected at which the matrix resin flows and encloses the reinforcing fibers without gaps.
• Reinforcing textiles for this technology are known, for example, from German Utility Model 85/21, 108.

This also consists of a layer of longitudinal threads and a layer of transverse threads, which are not interwoven, but one of the thread layers is said to have a significantly higher heat-shrinking capacity than the other. In the material known from this document, the cohesion is achieved by means of auxiliary threads which do not glue the layers of the reinforcing threads but instead fix them loosely to one another so as to be displaceable.

• the following exemplary embodiments illustrate the production of the hybrid yarn according to the invention, the semifinished products I and II according to the invention and a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic molded body according to the invention.
• the polyester POY yarn has a dry heat shrinkage maximum of 65%, with a peak temperature of 100 ° C and a dry heat shrinkage tension maximum of 0.3 cN / tex at a peak temperature of 95 ° C; its melting point is 250 ° C.
• the swirled hybrid yarn obtained has a total titer of 2260 dtex; the opening length, measured with the ITEMAT device, is 19.4 mm.
• the yarn has a tenacity of 25.8 cN / tex and an elongation at break of 3.5%.
• Samples of the hybrid yarn were shrunk at 95, 150 or 220 ° C for 1 minute. The shrinkage obtained was 56-57%.
• the KD diagram of the shrunk yarn shows that the PET filaments are first stretched. After a stretch of 130 - 150%, the glass filaments start to wear, shortly afterwards the yarn tears off.
• a multifilament high modulus aramid yarn from dtex 220f200 dtex and a multifilament yarn made from polyethylene terephthalate POY yarn with a titer of 2 x dtex 111f128 are fed together to a swirling nozzle, in which they are swirled by a stream of compressed air.
• the polyester POY yarn has a dry heat shrinkage maximum of 65%, with a peak temperature of 100 ° C and a dry heat shrinkage tension maximum of 0.3 cN / tex at a peak temperature of 95 ° C; its melting point is 250 ° C.
• the swirled hybrid yarn obtained has a total titer of 440 dtex, the opening length, measured with the ITEMAT device, is 21 mm, the maximum Shrinkage results at 98 ° C and is 68%.
• a fabric with a plain weave is made from the hybrid yarn produced according to Example 1.
• the thread density in the warp is 12.6, in the weft 10.6 threads per cm.
• This fabric (semi-finished product I) is shrunk free in the oven at 200 ° C. for 1 minute. This results in a shrinkage of 50% in the warp and in the weft direction.
• the fabric thus obtained (semifinished product II) has very good permanent deformability.
• the maximum possible area enlargement during deep drawing is over 250%.
• a fabric with a plain weave is made from the hybrid yarn produced according to Example 1.
• the thread density in the warp is 10.4, in the weft 10.6 threads per cm.
• This fabric (semi-finished product I) is shrunk in the oven for 1 minute at 200 ° C on the stenter. A shrinkage of 4% in the warp and in the weft direction is permitted.
• the fabric thus obtained (semi-finished product II) has sufficient permanent deformability. The possible increase in area when deforming is about 8%.
• a fabric with a plain weave is made from the hybrid yarn produced according to Example 1.
• the thread density in the warp is 7.4, in the weft 8.2 threads per cm.
• This fabric (semi-finished product I) is shrunk in the oven for 1 minute at 200 ° C on the stenter. A shrinkage of 12% in the warp direction and 15% in the weft direction is permitted.
• the fabric thus obtained (semifinished product II) has good permanent deformability. The possible increase in area when deforming is about 30%.
• a fabric with a plain weave is made from the hybrid yarn produced according to Example 1.
• the thread density in the warp is 12.6, in the weft 5.2 threads per cm.
• This fabric (semi-finished product I) is shrunk free in the oven at 200 ° C. for 1 minute. This results in a shrinkage of 50% in the warp direction, in the weft direction there is no shrinkage.
• the fabric thus obtained (semifinished product II) has good permanent deformability.
• the maximum possible area enlargement during deep drawing is approx. 50%.
• a semifinished product II produced according to Example 15 is drawn into a fender mold and heated to 280 ° C. for 3 minutes. After cooling to about 80 ° C., the raw molded fender body can be removed from the deep-drawing mold.
