Description
This invention relates to a breathable or permeable laminate comprising thermofusible and non-thermofusible layers bonded in places and a method for manufacturing the same.
A breathable laminate comprising theremofusible and non-thermofusible layers in any combination is employed as a mattress cover etc. Such a laminate is manufactured by, for -example, the following methods:
(l) a stitching method,
A breathable laminate comprising theremofusible and non-thermofusible layers in any combination is employed as a mattress cover etc. Such a laminate is manufactured by, for -example, the following methods:
(l) a stitching method,
(2) a method for thermally compressing in places thermofusible and non-thermofusible layers with a hot-melt type fiber-like or film-like adhesive sandwiched therebetween, and
(3) a method for disposing an adhesive between thermofusible and non-thermofusible layers and thermally bonding -them together.
The ~aminate of method (l) exhibits good breathability.
However, this method requires much time and breakage of threads is liXely to occur. In method (2), although the adheæive is . . .
disposed all over between the non-thermofusible and thermofusible layers and a strong bonding is obtained, the laminate is insani-, tary due to the absence of breathability. Moreover, since some amount~of adhesive is left unused, this method is very unecono-mical. In method (3), the fused portion of the thermofusible layer is bonded to the corresponding fiber portion of the non-th-rmofusible layer. In this case, no problem arises as to breathability, but ~ufficient bonding cannot be achieved.
It is the object of this invention to provide a breathable laminate co~prising thermofusible and non-thermo-fusib1e layers ln any combination and exhibiting a very strong bonding, and to provide a method for manufacturing the same . ~ .. . . , . . . . . , .. . . . . . --` ~050406 easily and efficiently. In one aspect of this invention a breathable laminate comprises thermofusible and non-thermofusible layers in any combination which are intimately bonded in places, said laminate being characterized in that said bonded portion is compressed in such a manner that the thermofusible layer and another thermofusible material are impregnated into the non-thermofusible layer from both the surfaces thereof.
In another aspect of this invention there i5 provided a method for manufacturing a breathable laminate comprising thermofusible and non-thermofusible layers in any combination, qaid method comprising the steps of disposing a thermofusible sheet on one surface of the non-thermofusible layer while forming on the other surface of the non-thermofusible layer a composite layer consisting of at least one thermofusible layer and at least one non-thermofusible layer in any combination; locally com-pre~sing the composite layer and thermofusible sheet for a predetermined length of time to cause the thermofusible layer and thermofusible sheet to be fused and impregnated into the non-thermofusible layer from both the surfaces thereof to permit 20 the former to be bonded to the latter; and removing the thermo-fusible sheet from the composite layer in a manner that the J bonded portion of the sheet is torn apart from the thermofusible sheet.
This invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which ~ ig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a composite . .

of Fig. 3; and Fig. 5 is a plan view showing one embodLment of this invention.
In the specification, "a non-thermofusibla layer" is intended to mean a material which is non-thermofusible or is regarded as unsuitable for subjection to a normal thermal fusion treatment and includes a fiber material such as a woven fabric, a non-woven fabric, a lace, a cotton cloth and the like, a foamed mass and so on. By way of example, it includes a natural fiber, a synthetic fiber including a glass fiber, and a blend of the natural fiber and synthetic fiber. "A thermofusible layer" ~-is intended to mean any material which is regarded as suitable ~or subjection to a normal thermal fusion treatment and includes any fiber material such as a woven fiber, a non-woven fiber, a lace, a cotton cloth and the like, or a foamed mass. By way of example, it includes a thermoplastic synthetic resin fiber such a~ nylon, polyacryl, polyester and polypropylene; a synthetic resin fiber somewhat blended with a natural fiber; and a thermo-plastic resin foamed mass such as a urethane foam, vinyl chloride foam etc. -~ ~.
Any combination of the non-thermofusible layer and thermofusible layer may be arbitrarily selected. If, however, at least one of non-thermofusible layers is disposed at least on the outer surface of a laminate, the advantage of this invention i9 obtained. With the thermofusible layer and non-thermofusible layer represented by A and B, respectively, a variety of combinations can be considered such as, for example, A-B, A-B-A, A-Bl-B2, A-Bl-B2-A, A-B-A-B, A-Bl-B2-B3, A-B-A-B~A etc.
in which Bl, B2, B3 indicate different forms such as a cotton-like form, foam-like form, c~oth-like form etc~
The method for preparing such laminates will be explained below.
A pair of thermofusible sheets C are disposed one on each outer surface of, for example, the above-mentioned composite layer A -B-A . Then, the resultant composite layer , C-A-B-A-C is compressed in places (in a dot-like fashion or in a linear fashion) from both the ends thereof for a predetermined length of time to cau~e the thermofusible sheet C and thermo-fusible layer A to be fused to permit them to be impregnated into the non-thermofusible layer B from both the surfaces thereof.
As a result, the thermo~usible sheet and layer arè intimately bonded to the non-thermofusible layer B to constitute a laminate.
As means for fusing the thermofusible sheet and thermofusible layer, conventional means such as, for example, an ultrasonic ~wave, high freguency, heating etc. may be selectively adopted.
After bonding is effected, the thermofu8ib1e sheet C is removed ~from the non-thermofusible layer. Since, in this case, the fused portions of the thermofusible sheet are intimately bonded to the , ~ ~ ., , ~ non-thermofusible layer, the removed sheet is torn in places (in , ~
; a dot-like fashion or in a linear fashion). The used sheet can :. .
; be used several times by shifting it little by little so that the non-torn portions of the sheet can be used. As a material for the~thermofusiblè sheet, a thermoplastic synthetic resin may be used.~ It is, however, preferred that use be made of a material

compatible with the non-thermofusible layer.
There will now be explained the manufacture of a mattress cover by reference to the drawings.
In Fig. 1, a reference numeral 1 is a composite layer consisting of a thermofusible layer 2 of a polypropylene fiber cotton and a non-thermofusible layer 3 of a rayon cloth. The composite layer 1 is fed to an ultrasonic wave application device so as to effect bonding. The ultrasonic wave application device as diagrammatically shown in Fig. 2 comprises a drive horn 4, a roller type anvil 5 opposite to the drive horn, and take-up and supply rolls 6 and 7 provided one at each side of the anvil 5.
A plurality of projections are mounted upright on the peripheral surface of the anvil 5. The drive horn 4 is adapted to move, during the rotation of the anvil, into close proximity to the projection of the anvil. The projections 8 may be suitably arranged on the outer periphery of the anvil, for example, in a spiral or parallel fashion. During the feeding of the composite layer toward the ultrasonic wave application device, a polypropy- ;
lene sheet as a thermofus~ble sheet 9 is fed substantially along -~
~20 the thermofusible layer 3 from the supply roll 7 toward the take-up roll 6. The composite layer 1 and thermofusible sheet 9 are compressed between the drive horn 4 and the projection 8, while being subjected to vibration by ultrasonic waves, to cause the thermo~usible layer 2 and thermofus~ble sheet 9 to be fused to permit them to be impregnated into each surface of the non-thermofusible layer 3~ At this time, a fused portion 10 of the non-thermo~usible lay~r 3 has its fibers collapsed flat as shown in~Fig. 4, while the space of each fiber is pushed open, as shown in: Fig. 3, by the vibration due to the ultrasonic waves to permit ..

is torn apart from the sheet. At the same time the fused portion 10 of the composite layer 1 is cooled and solidified. Though the sheet 9 so wound around the take-up roll 6 is torn in pla~es, ~`
the sheet 9 can be used several times by shifting it as mentioned -above.
The synthetic fiber cotton 2 and thermofusible sheet 9 are intimately bonded at their fused portion to the non~
thermofusible layer 3, and the portion lO of the non-thermofusible layer is æandwi~hed between the fused portion of the synthetic iber cotton 2 and the fused portion of the thermofusible sheet 9 as shown in Fig. 4.
In consequence, the thermousible layer 2 is not easily separated rom the non-thermofusible layer 3. The laminate is clearly contoured at the bonded portions lO to provide a beautiful quilting effect. If a colored sheet is used, a beautiful ~ -.
20 ~ app~arance can be imparted to the laminate. Fig. 5 shows one examp1e of a dot patterned laminate according to thiæ invention.
Any pattern may be 8elected as reguired.
Since the laminate according to this invention has the non-thermofusib1e layer 3 intimately bonded between the thermo-: . -; fus~ible laye~8,greater bonding strength is obtained. Furthermore, a~non-breathable or non-permeable portion such as the bonded portio~10 is~restricted ~and, therefore, a eu~ficie~t breath-ability~Qr permeability can be provided to the laminate. A
beautiful outer appearance is also obtained.

The method according to this invention can obviate the step of imparting an adhesive to the composite layer with the result that an adhesive medium exists only on that portion to be bonded.~Also since the sheet 9 can be repeatedly used as mentioned above, the bonding medium can be saved.
Although explanation has been made of the bonding between the non-thermofusible layer and the thermofusible layer, this invention can also be applied to the bonding between the thermofusible layers. Where, for example, the thermofusible layers are different in nature from each other, it is qaid that no sufficient bonding can be attained. According to this inve~tion, however, ~trong bonding can be achieved.
