Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A flexible barrier material capable of reducing sound transmission through air; the barrier material comprising: a. a non-woven sheet structure based on continuous filament synthetic organic fiber of polyester and polypropylene, b. a neoprene composition adhesive coat applied to the sheet structure, and c. a mass building coat comprised of, neoprene and dispersed particles of a metal compound, having a density of less than 6 grams per milliliter, selected from the group consisting of iron sulfide, iron oxide, barium oxide, and barium sulfate; wherein the mass building coat is applied upon the adhesive coated sheet structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A flexible barrier material capable of reducing sound transmission through air; the barrier material comprising: a. a non-woven sheet structure based on continuous filament synthetic organic fiber of polyester and polypropylene, b. a neoprene composition adhesive coat applied to the sheet structure, and c. a mass building coat comprised of, neoprene and dispersed particles of a metal compound, having a density of less than 6 grams per milliliter, selected from the group consisting of iron sulfide, iron oxide, barium oxide, and barium sulfate; wherein the mass building coat is applied upon the adhesive coated sheet structure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
The barrier material of claim 1, wherein the non-woven sheet structure weighs 2.5 or more ounces per square yard and has a thickness of 17 or more mils.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The barrier material of claim 1, wherein the non-woven sheet structure weighs 5.0 or more ounces per square yard and has a thickness of 28 or more mils.
