Abstract
Abstract A mat like composite body (1) comprising a cover layer (2) of a fiber or filament fleece and a backing layer (3) comprising the same fleece or of a synthetic plastic sheet (7), in particular one provided with depressions (8), between the cover layer (2) and the backing layer (3) a layer (5) of particles (6) of an inert material, preferably rock particles, is arranged. The three layers (2, 3 5) are needle-bonded together prefereably with holding fibers (4) taken from the cover layer (2) is described. Different possible applications of the composite body (1) are disclosed, whereby the composite body (1) by the utilization of the properties of the granular particles (6), which serve for example to dilute and/or carry other particles (13), such as binders, active ingredients, etc, is applied to the external treatment of human or animal bodies, sound attenuation, fire protection, the weighting of third bodies or as a so-called car protection mat. Furthermore, advantageous measures are disclosed for the needle-bonding of for example rock particles.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A mat shaped composite body comprising an actively needle-bondable predensified cover layer of a fiber or filament fleece, a backing layer which is at least passively needle-bondable and comprises a tough sheet of synthetic plastic having depressions, and a discrete layer of particles comprising an inert material arranged between said layers, the particles have a hardness adequate to preserve them from destruction by needle bonding, and wherein the particles are held and secured against shifting in the direction of the plane of the cover layer by individual holding fibers or bundles of such holding fibers, and said holding fibers being inserted by needles in a distribution over the surface of the composite body through the particle layer and joining the cover layer and the backing layer with each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
A mat shaped composite body comprising an actively needle-bondable predensified cover layer of a fiber or filament fleece, a backing layer which is at least passively needle-bondable and comprises a tough sheet of synthetic plastic having depressions, and a discrete layer of particles comprising an inert material arranged between said layers, the particles have a hardness adequate to preserve them from destruction by needle bonding, and wherein the particles are held and secured against shifting in the direction of the plane of the cover layer by individual holding fibers or bundles of such holding fibers, and said holding fibers being inserted by needles in a distribution over the surface of the composite body through the particle layer and joining the cover layer and the backing layer with each other.
