Abstract
Abstract A patch or insert, which may be applied to clothing or the like, consists of a substrate, which is preferably a textile fabric, on which is mounted a discontinuous pattern, in raster-like formation, of a heat sealing adhesive. The coating consists of two superposed layers of adhesive, each adhesive having a different adhesive quality.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A flexible adhesive clothing insert structure adapted for being heat sealed with another flexible clothing structure, comprising: (a) a flexible clothing insert; (b) a first raster-like layer of a heat sealable adhesive coated directly on one side of said flexible clothing insert; (c) a second raster-like layer of a heat sealable adhesive seated substantially only on said first raster-like layer, said second raster-like layer having adhesive properties different than said first layer and a melting point lower than said first layer; and (d) said first and second raster-like layers are of spot raster form and having at least 94 spots per square inch, isolated spots of said second layer being seated substantially only upon spots of said first layer; whereby said flexible clothing insert retains its flexibility after heat sealing to flexible clothing structure and said heat sealable adhesive spots of the second layer are isolated from the substrate clothing insert by the spots of the first layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A flexible adhesive clothing insert structure adapted for being heat sealed with another flexible clothing structure, comprising: (a) a flexible clothing insert; (b) a first raster-like layer of a heat sealable adhesive coated directly on one side of said flexible clothing insert; (c) a second raster-like layer of a heat sealable adhesive seated substantially only on said first raster-like layer, said second raster-like layer having adhesive properties different than said first layer and a melting point lower than said first layer; and (d) said first and second raster-like layers are of spot raster form and having at least 94 spots per square inch, isolated spots of said second layer being seated substantially only upon spots of said first layer; whereby said flexible clothing insert retains its flexibility after heat sealing to flexible clothing structure and said heat sealable adhesive spots of the second layer are isolated from the substrate clothing insert by the spots of the first layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first layer is attached directly to said clothing insert and has lower thermoplastic flow properties than said second layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first and second layers are of plastics materials containing a plasticizer, said second layer having a higher plasticizer content than said first layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first and second layers are of plastics material, and only said second layer contains a plasticizer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second layer consists essentially of a low melting point plastics material selected from the group consisting of polyamides and polyurethanes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said clothing insert is a fabric selected from the group consisting of knitted fabrics, woven fabrics and fleeces.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
14 words
A structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein said clothing insert is a foam.
