Abstract

Abstract A lining fabric comprising a first nonwoven layer composed of microfibers produced by melting-blowing, and at least one second nonwoven layer composed of fibers or filaments and an adhesive layer distributed in spots. The first layer and the second layer being bonded, on the one hand, partially by the entanglement of some of the fibers thereof by the application of fluid jets; on the other hand, completely by the base of the spots of the adhesive layer which keeps the fibers interlaced, thus ensuring the cohesion of the assembly as a whole.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 92 words
A lining fabric comprising a first nonwoven layer composed of microfibers produced by melt-blowing, and at least one second nonwoven layer composed of fibers or filaments and an adhesive layer distributed in spots, the first layer and the second layer being bonded, on the one hand, partially by the entanglement of some of fibers thereof by the application of fluid jets and, on the other hand, completely by the base of the spots of the adhesive layer which keeps the fibers interlaced, thus ensuring the cohesion of the assembly as a whole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 92 words
A lining fabric comprising a first nonwoven layer composed of microfibers produced by melt-blowing, and at least one second nonwoven layer composed of fibers or filaments and an adhesive layer distributed in spots, the first layer and the second layer being bonded, on the one hand, partially by the entanglement of some of fibers thereof by the application of fluid jets and, on the other hand, completely by the base of the spots of the adhesive layer which keeps the fibers interlaced, thus ensuring the cohesion of the assembly as a whole.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
The lining fabric as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second nonwoven layer is composed of carded discontinuous fibers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
The lining fabric as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second nonwoven layer is composed of carded fibers bonded by thermal bonding.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
The lining fabric as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second nonwoven layer is composed of needled carded fibers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
The lining fabric as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second layer consists of a nonwoven voile formed from synthetic continuous filaments intermingled without orientation and obtained by the melted process.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 25 words
The lining fabric as claimed in claim 5, wherein the linear density of the filaments forming the second nonwoven layer is higher than 1.5 Dtex.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 53 words
The lining fabric as claimed in claim 1, defined in that it comprises a third nonwoven layer consisting of synthetic continuous filaments obtained by the melted process and bonded to one of the other two layers by the entanglement of some of their fibers which is obtained by the application of fluid jets.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 42 words
The lining fabric as claimed in claim 1, defined in that it comprises a third nonwoven layer bonded to one of the other two layers by the entanglement of some of their fibers which is obtained by the application of fluid jets.
