Abstract
Abstract Microporous polymeric material such as elastomeric polyurethane laminated to fibrous fabric by fusing projections integrally formed on such microporous material the projections being spaced or in an open pattern. The lamination may be effected by applying a flame to the projections or by otherwise supplying heat thereto to make them tacky and then pressing the fabric and tackified projection-carrying surface against each other to embed surface fibers of the fabric into the spaced tacky material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
Process for laminating a microporous flexible solid sheet material having a specific gravity of at least 0.3 to a fibrous fabric which comprises supplying said sheet material in a form having a surface layer at least 0.1 mm thick having an overall specific gravity less than 0.2, applying heat to said surface layer by bathing it in a flame to fuse material of said surface layer and then pressing said fused material against said fibrous fabric to embed fibers of said fabric into said fused material to form a flexible laminate in which the bond between said fibrous fabric and said microporous material has high moisture vapor transmission.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
Process for laminating a microporous flexible solid sheet material having a specific gravity of at least 0.3 to a fibrous fabric which comprises supplying said sheet material in a form having a surface layer at least 0.1 mm thick having an overall specific gravity less than 0.2, applying heat to said surface layer by bathing it in a flame to fuse material of said surface layer and then pressing said fused material against said fibrous fabric to embed fibers of said fabric into said fused material to form a flexible laminate in which the bond between said fibrous fabric and said microporous material has high moisture vapor transmission.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
Process as in claim 1 in which said surface layer is made up of projections which are arranged in a spaced or open pattern, the material of said projections having a specific gravity of more than 0.2.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
Process as in claim 2 in which the material of said projections is microporous and has a specific gravity of at least about 0.3.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
Process as in claim 3 in which said sheet material, including said projections, is a product produced by spreading at least one layer of a solution of elastomeric polyurethane in a liquid solvent therefor onto a temporary support having a pattern which is the negative of the pattern of said projections, coagulating said layer and removing said solvent.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
Process as in claim 2 in which said projections are spaced at least 0.2 mm apart and are at least 0.1 mm wide and are more than 0.1 mm in height and provide a surface layer at least 0.1 mm thick having an overall specific gravity less than 0.2.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
Process as in claim 4 in which said temporary support is a woven fabric belt having a regular pattern.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
87 words
Process as in claim 4 in which sheet material has two opposite faces, one being bathed in said flame, and the other being provided with an embossed thin skin of elastomeric polyurethane, said projections are spaced at least 0.2 mm apart and are at least 0.1 mm wide and are more than 0.1 mm in height and provide a surface layer at least 0.1 mm thick having an overall specific gravity less than 0.2, and said temporary support is a woven fabric belt having a regular pattern.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
7 words
Product of the process of claim 7.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words
Process as in claim 1 in which said sheet material has two opposite faces, one being bathed in said flame and the other being provided with an embossed thin skin of elastomeric polyurethane.
Claim 11

Process for laminating a microporous flexible solid sheet material having a specific gravity of at least 0.3 to a fibrous fabric which comprises supplying said sheet material in a form having a surface having projections arranged in a spaced or open pattern, the material of said projections having a specific gravity of more than 0.2, applying heat to said projections by bathing them in a flame to fuse material of said projections and then pressing said fused material against said fibrous fabric to embed fibers of said fabric into said fused material to form a flexible laminate in which the bond between said fibrous fabric and said microporous material has high moisture vapor transmission.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
114 words
Process for laminating a microporous flexible solid sheet material having a specific gravity of at least 0.3 to a fibrous fabric which comprises supplying said sheet material in a form having a surface having projections arranged in a spaced or open pattern, the material of said projections having a specific gravity of more than 0.2, applying heat to said projections by bathing them in a flame to fuse material of said projections and then pressing said fused material against said fibrous fabric to embed fibers of said fabric into said fused material to form a flexible laminate in which the bond between said fibrous fabric and said microporous material has high moisture vapor transmission.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
58 words
Process as in claim 12 in which said sheet material, including said projections, is a product produced by spreading at least one layer of a solution of elastomeric polyurethane in a liquid solvent therefor onto a temporary support having a pattern which is the negative of the pattern of said projections, coagulating said layer and removing said solvent.
