Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 67 words
An improved composite mat structure for use in reinforced stampable resinous articles which have a substantially uniformly distributed reinforcement material throughout the entire extent thereof comprising a layer of mat of needled fibrous strands free of chemical binder and a layer of mat of unstranded filaments free of chemical binder and in which composite mat structure said unstranded filaments are free to move relative to each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 67 words
An improved composite mat structure for use in reinforced stampable resinous articles which have a substantially uniformly distributed reinforcement material throughout the entire extent thereof comprising a layer of mat of needled fibrous strands free of chemical binder and a layer of mat of unstranded filaments free of chemical binder and in which composite mat structure said unstranded filaments are free to move relative to each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 74 words
An improved composite mat structure for use in reinforced stampable resinous articles which have a substantially uniformly distributed reinforcement material throughout the entire extent thereof comprising a layer of a mat of needled fibrous strands free of chemical binder, and a layer of a mat of needled unstranded filaments free of chemical binder, said needled fibrous strands and said needled unstranded filaments being free to move relative to each other in their respective mats.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 74 words
An improved composite mat structure for use in reinforced stampable resinous articles which have a substantially uniformly distributed reinforcement material throughout the entire extent thereof comprising a layer of a mat of needled fibrous strands free of chemical binder, and a layer of a mat of needled unstranded filaments free of chemical binder, said needled fibrous strands and said needled unstranded filaments being free to move relative to each other in their respective mats.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
The fibrous structure of claim 2 wherein said fibrous strands and said unstranded filaments are randomly oriented in their respective mats.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 22 words
The fibrous structure of claim 3 wherein said mat of fibrous strands and said mat of unstranded filaments are comprised of glass.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 70 words
An improved composite mat structure for use in reinforced stampable resinous articles which have a substantially uniformly distributed reinforcement material throughout the entire extent thereof comprising a layer of a mat of needled, lengthwise and widthwise, uniformly distributed, randomly oriented, continuous glass fibrous strands, and a layer of a mat of unstranded glass filaments free of chemical binder, said unstranded glass filaments being free to move relative to one another.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 70 words
An improved composite mat structure for use in reinforced stampable resinous articles which have a substantially uniformly distributed reinforcement material throughout the entire extent thereof comprising a layer of a mat of needled, lengthwise and widthwise, uniformly distributed, randomly oriented, continuous glass fibrous strands, and a layer of a mat of unstranded glass filaments free of chemical binder, said unstranded glass filaments being free to move relative to one another.
