Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
206 words
THE METHOD OF FORMING A SHEET COMPOSED OF MULTIPLE LAYERS OF FIBERS COMPRISING THE STEPS OF RECIPROCATING A FURNACE CONTAINING MOLTEN FIBER-FORMING MATERIAL AXIALLY ALONG AND OVER A ROTATING DRUM, DISCHARGING THE MOLTEN MATERIAL THROUGH ORIFICES IN THE FURNACE AND ALLENUATING THE MOLTEN MATERIAL INTO FIBRES, COLLECTING THE FIBERS ON THE DRUM AS THE FURNACE IS MOVED AXIALLY OF THE DRUM, MOVING THE FURNACE THROUGH A CYCLE IN WHICH THE FURNACE IS MOVED THROUGH A FIRST SET OF ONE OR MORE TRAVERSES SUBSTANTIALLY FROM ONE TO THE OTHER END OF THE DRUM AT A FIRST CONSTANT SPEED TO LAY FIBERS ON THE DRUM AT A DESIRED ANGLE OF LAY AND THEN THROUGH ANOTHER SET OF ONE OR MORE TRAVERSES SUBSTANTIALLY FROM ONE TO THE OTHER END OF THE DRUM AT ANOTHER CONSTANT SPEED TO LAY FIBERS AT A DIFFERENT ANGELE OF LAY THAN THE PRECEDING SET, APPLYING A BINDER TO SAID FIBERS, REPEATING SAID CYCLES TO BUILD UP A COLLECTED CONDENSED MAT OF FIBERS SO LAID ON THE DRUM TO A DESIRED THICKNESS, SLITTING THE MAT SO FORMED AXIALLY OF THE DRUM AND REMOVING IT AS A SHEET, AND EXPANDING THE SHEET BY PULLING IT AT SUBSTANTIALLY A RIGHT ANGLE TO THE LAY OF THE FIBERS.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
150 words
A CONDENSED, FILAMENTOUS, SHEET-LIKE MAT OF THE TYPE NOARMALLY PRODUCED BY WINDING FIBERS UPON A DRUM AND APPLYING A BINDER MATERIAL TO FORM A CYLINDRICAL MAT, SLITTING THE MAT AXIALLY TO REMOVE IT FORM THE DRUM AND TRIMMING IT LONGITUDINALLY TO REMOVE ITS AXIAL END AREAS COMPRISING: A SERIES OF OVERLYING SETS OF LAYERS OR FIBERS, EACH LAYER BEING SUBSTANTIALLY COEXTENSIVE WITH SAID MAT AND CONSISTING OF PARALLEL FIBERS DISPOSED AT ONE ANGLE TO THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF THE MAT, EACH SET CONSISTING OF ONE OR MORE LAYERS OF FIBERS, THE FIBERS WITHIN EACH SET OF LAYERS DISPOSED ATA EQUAL ANGLES TO THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF THE MAT, THE FIBERS OF EACH SUCCESSSIVE SET OF LAYERS DISPOSED AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE TO THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF THE MAT THAN THE PRECEDING SET, THE ANGULAR DISPOSITION OF SAID SETS OF LAYERS OF FIBERS VARYING IN A REPETITIVE SEQUENCE THROUGH SAID SERIES.
