Abstract
Abstract A thermal insulating material comprises at least two sheets of metallized plastic film, a mesh sandwiched between adjacent film sheets and outer cover layers of mesh sandwiching the film-mesh sandwich. The film-mesh sandwich and the outer meshes are stitched together. Vapor permeability is imparted by perforations through the films.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A thermal insulating material comprising at least two sheets of polymeric film, each of which is metallized on at least one side, a mesh sandwiched between each adjacent pair of film sheets, an outer mesh on each outside face of the film-mesh sandwich, rows of stitching joining the outer meshes and film-mesh sandwich, and needle perforations through the film sheets to make the material vapor permeable including both perforations made by the needles which stitch the outer meshes and film-mesh sandwich together which are of a size not less than about four diameters of the stitching thread and additional perforations made by non-threaded needles.
