Abstract
Abstract A method is provided for producing laminated textile fabrics with improved dimensional stability. In the present method, a laminate comprised of at least one ply of a textile fabric and at least one ply of a foam which plies are laminated together with an uncured to partially cured adhesive is compacted and then cured. The laminated textile fabrics of this invention are especially useful in the manufacture of wearing apparel, but also find uses in home furnishings and in industrial applications.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
The process according to claim 1 wherein said compacting comprises positively advancing said laminate at a first speed toward a surface traveling at a second slower speed and ultimately carrying said laminate into frictionally restrained engagement with said surface, said laminate passing through a deceleration zone of a predetermined length immediately prior to engagement with said surface, said first and second speeds and predetermined length of said deceleration zone being related so as to cause said laminate to expand in directions normal to and thereby be compacting in the direction of advancement.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
38 words
The process according to claim 2 wherein said laminate is comprised of a facing ply, a core ply and backing ply and wherein said facing and backing plies are textile fabrics and said core ply is a foam.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process according to claim 3 wherein at least one of said textile fabrics is a knitted fabric.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process according to claim 3 wherein at least one of said textile fabrics is a woven fabric.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
80 words
The process according to claim 3 wherein at least one of said textile fabrics is comprised of a thermally settable fiberous material selected from the group consisting of polyamide and polyester and said laminate is compacted in an amount in excess of the amount required to compensate for the dimensional instability of the laminated textile fabric and thereafter said laminate is heated to a temperature sufficient to heat set said fiberous material, whereby a stretch laminated textile fabric is obtained.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process according to claim 3 where said core ply is a polyurethane foam.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process according to claim 6 wherein said adhesive is polymerizable acrylic or urethane resin.
