Abstract
Abstract Composites which comprise a substrate (such as paper) to which a mesh (e.g. chicken wire) is firmly clasped by means of a plurality of retaining bands that overlie the mesh and are bonded to the substrate through holes in the mesh. The composites are useful as, for example, a backing for stucco and plaster walls.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A composite comprising: (a) A substrate; (b) A mesh overlying said substrate, said mesh being retained upon but not substantially adhesively bonded to said substrate, thereby permitting some lateral movement of the substrate relative to the mesh; (c) A plurality of retaining bands overlying said mesh and bonded to said substrate, the loci of bonding being located within the areas of said substrate underlying the holes in said mesh, whereby the mesh is not substantially bonded to the retaining bands; said retaining bands being adhesive coated, generally continuous filaments.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A composite comprising: (a) A substrate; (b) A mesh overlying said substrate, said mesh being retained upon but not substantially adhesively bonded to said substrate, thereby permitting some lateral movement of the substrate relative to the mesh; (c) A plurality of retaining bands overlying said mesh and bonded to said substrate, the loci of bonding being located within the areas of said substrate underlying the holes in said mesh, whereby the mesh is not substantially bonded to the retaining bands; said retaining bands being adhesive coated, generally continuous filaments.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
A composite of claim 1 in which the substrate is a paper.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A composite of claim 2 in which the mesh is a wire mesh.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
A composite of claim 3 in which the retaining bands are generally parallel to each other.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
A composite of claim 3 in which the retaining bands are elastic.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
98 words
A composite suitable for use in constructing stucco walls comprising: (a) a strong paper backing material of constant width; (b) a layer of wire mesh substantially covering the entire width of said paper; (c) a plurality of generally parallel longitudinally extending retaining bands in the form of adhesive coated, generally continuous organic polymeric filaments, said strands overlying the wire mesh and being adhesively bonded to said paper through intermittent openings in said mesh to thereby firmly clasp the wire mesh to the backing paper while permitting some limited movement of the backing paper relative to the wire mesh.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
98 words
A composite suitable for use in constructing stucco walls comprising: (a) a strong paper backing material of constant width; (b) a layer of wire mesh substantially covering the entire width of said paper; (c) a plurality of generally parallel longitudinally extending retaining bands in the form of adhesive coated, generally continuous organic polymeric filaments, said strands overlying the wire mesh and being adhesively bonded to said paper through intermittent openings in said mesh to thereby firmly clasp the wire mesh to the backing paper while permitting some limited movement of the backing paper relative to the wire mesh.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
75 words
In the process of making composites wherein a mesh is attached to a substrate, the improvement which comprises the step of securing the mesh to the substrate by passing a plurality of retaining bands over the mesh and bonding intermittent portions of said bands substantially only to the substrate through holes in said mesh, thereby permitting some lateral movement of the substrate relative to the mesh; said retaining bands being adhesive coated, generally continuous filaments.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
75 words

Claim 11
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1 in which the substrate is a paper.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 8 in which the mesh is a wire mesh.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 1 in which the retaining bands are generally parallel to each other.
