Filed:

Aug 16, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/640236

Inventors:

John M. North - Vatalie NY
Frank C. Grace - North Dartmouth MA
Michael P. Albert - Newton MA

Assignee:

Harodite Industries, Inc. - Taunton MA

International Classification:

B32B 2704

US Classification:

442 58, 442 50, 442 54

Abstract:

A chopped fiberglass containing laminate for fabricating sound absorbing moldable structures, such an automotive headliner is provided. The laminate includes a nonwoven fine denier thermoplastic fiber scrim, a thermoplastic barrier film on one surface and a layer of chopped fiberglass and powder adhesive on the exposed surface of the barrier film. The laminate is combined with a foam core, fiberglass layer and decorative fabric on the fiberglass layer to provide a composite having elongation exceeding 30% in both machine and transverse directions for forming the headliner. An apparatus and method for forming the laminate are so disclosed.

International Classification:

B32B 3100

US Classification:

156228, 442120, 442381, 442392

Abstract:

A non-fiberglass containing sound absorbing moldable laminate of a fibrous batt and stiffening mats formed from chopped mono-filament polyester bonded by a thermoplastic binder is provided. The mono-filament mats stiffen the batt and allow use of all thermoplastic material in the composite.

Appl. No.:

6/870199

Inventors:

Michael P. Albert - Newton MA

International Classification:

A41B 300

US Classification:

2139

Abstract:

A multi-ply shirt collar formed of two creased outer plies of fabric having a thermoplastic resin deposited on the inner surfaces and an improved method of fabricating the collar are provided. The edges of the fabric with resin are folded in over an interlining piece having a dimension corresponding substantially to the final collar and subjected to heat and pressure to fuse the fabric to the shape of the collar. A complimentary creased fabric/interlining intermediate or creased fabric is placed in back-to-back alignment and edge stitch along the folded edges to form the shirt collar.

International Classification:

A41B 300

US Classification:

2139

Abstract:

A multi-ply garment component formed of two creased outer plies of fabric having a thermoplastic resin deposited on the inner surfaces and an improved method of fabricating the component are provided. The edges of the fabric with resin are folded in over an interlining piece having a dimension corresponding substantially to the final component and subjected to heat and pressure to fuse the fabric to the shape of the component. A complimentary creased fabric/interlining intermediate or creased fabric is placed in back-to-back alignment and edge stitched along the folded edges to form the component.
