Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A process for producing a layered composite batt comprising the steps of: A. producing a plurality of open webs of fibers, B. dispensing a particulate copolymer onto each open web of fibers; C. reciprocatively layering each web and the particulate copolymer carried therein to form a layer having an upper and a lower face, D. arranging the layers thus formed such that each layer produced is in face to face contact with at least one other layer, thereby forming a plurality of layers, E. heating the plurality of layers to a temperature above the melting point of the copolymer but below the scorching point of the fibers, thereby bonding the layers into a composite, and F. allowing the composite to cool to room temperature. wherein Steps A, B, and C are used to produce a layer of cotton fibers having dispensed therein a particulate copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride and Steps A, B, and C are used to produce a layer of polyester fibers having dispensed therein a second particulate copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride and the layers thus produced are arranged according to Step D.

A process for producing a layered composite batt comprising the steps of: A. producing a plurality of open webs of fibers, B. dispensing a particulate copolymer onto each open web of fibers; C. reciprocatively layering each web and the particulate copolymer carried therein to form a layer having an upper and a lower face, D. arranging the layers thus formed such that each layer produced is in face to face contact with at least one other layer, thereby forming a plurality of layers, E. heating the plurality of layers to a temperature above the melting point of the copolymer but below the scorching point of the fibers, thereby bonding the layers into a composite, and F. allowing the composite to cool to room temperature. wherein Steps A, B, and C are used to produce a layer of cotton fibers having dispensed therein a particulate copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride and Steps A, B, and C are used to produce a layer of polyester fibers having dispensed therein a second particulate copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride and the layers thus produced are arranged according to Step D.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
157 words
A process for producing a mattress comprising the steps of: A. producing a plurality of open webs of fibers, the fibers of at least one of said webs being 100 percent cotton and the fibers of another of said webs being 100 percent polyester, B. dispensing a particulate copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride into each open web of fibers, C. reciprocatively layering each web and the particulate copolymer carried therein to form a layer having an upper and a lower face, D. arranging the layers thus formed in parallel fashion such that each layer produced is in face to face contact with at least one other layer, thereby forming a plurality of layers, E. heating the plurality of layers to a temperature of between 300° and 400° F, thereby bonding the layers into a composite, F. cooling the composite to ambient room temperature, and G. positioning the composite on top of a set of springs.
