To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HOWARD F. Wares, a citizen of .the United States, residing .at
Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Insulating Material Case D); and I do hereby declare the ollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description/of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it ap ertains to make and use the same- This invention relates to msulatm materials and similar products and has or its objects the provision of an improved insulating or similar material and animproved method of making the same.
- The vention contemplates, as an article of manufacture, a product particularly adapted for use as an insulating material, a thou hI do not intend to limit either the artic e or the method of the invention to insulatin materials since both may be advantageous y ap lied to other uses. Fibrous material con ed between sheets of paper, or' the like, is extensively used as aheat insulat' construction. Ithastheretoforebeenthegeneral practice to sew the fibrous material between the liners or enclosing sheets of paper. This sewing of the fibrous material between these sheets of paper has heretofore been necessary, because the'fibres themselves are not cemented or fastened to each other in such a manner that they form a felt or fabricated sheet, and unless -'the enclosing sheets of-paper were sewed, there would be no way in which the sheets of paper could be ke t in place. The -sewing is objectionable, rst, because it is expensive, second, be-
' cause it perforates the paper, thereby admitting moistureto the brous material, and third, because the thread frequently breaks off in the rocess of manufacture, thus materially reducing the speed and capacity of the manufacturing apparatus.
In my ap lication for Letters Patentof the United States, Serial No. 237 ,446, filed May 31, 1918, I have described a method of producing a felt or mat of fibrous material, .m which the fibres are bound'or fastened together so as to form anintegral fabric of fibres in heterogeneous arrangement and cemented to ether with adhesive material. I have found that a felt or mat in which the fibres are cemented or fastened together, as
medium particularly in building.
described in the aforementioned appIication, is admirably adapted as the fibrous body portion of an nsu ating material.
provision of an insulating material having a body portion of fibres cemented together with one. or more'of the surfaces thereof covered with an adhesive coating. The article of the invention, form, comprises a body portion of fibres 'cemented to ther in hetero eneous arrangement with t e fibres exten ing in all three cubical dimensions and havin the surfaces of the body portion coated with a layer of air-resisting and-moisture resisting material, a such, for example, as asphalt, pitch, rubber,
or the like.
The air-resisting and moisture resisting coatingv of adhesive material replaces the covering sheets or liners of pa er, cloth, and the like, which have hereto ore been customarily used for enclosing or protecting the body portion of this form of insulating material; The adhesive coatin contemplated by the invention may be applied by 1passing the fibrous body portion with the fi res .ce-
in its preferred The present invention vcontemplates the mented together'through appropriately arranged coating or adhesive-ap lying rolls which serve to spread-a film or ayer of the adhesive coating on to the ex osed surfaces of the fibrous body portion, tiius forming a moisture and air resistin coverin agent which is directly cemente to the bres of I the body portion. As the adhesive coating, as halt, coal tar and similar-pitches, rubber,
so utions of gums and resins, and the likemsg be advanta eously used.
eference wil be made in the following discussion of the invention to the accompanying drawings for the purpose of more clearly explaming and illustrating certain aspects of the invention. In these drawingp- I ig. 1 dia rammatically illustrates in elevation one orm of ap aratus for carrying out theinvention but t e showing is purel diagrammatic and is given merely to facilltate a complete understanding of the invention. For this reason the precise structural details of the ap aratus are omitted, .as forming no art w atever of the present invention; an Fi' 2 is a sectional view of the improved artic eof the invention.
Referring to the drawings, there is shown in Fig. 1 a shredding engine 5 for separating the fibres into indivi ual part1cles. this figure, the fibrous material 1s fed into the shredding engine 5 from an endless belt or conveyor 6 provided with transversely arranged baflles carries the fibrous material to the mouth of the shredding engine where it is fed into the engine and sub'ected to a shredding operation of the we -known character.
The purpose of the shredding operation is to separate the fibres into individual particles of such a character that they can be deposited on a support to form a more or less fiocculent layer of heterogeneously arranged fibres a apted to be cemented or fastened together y an adhesive agent to form an integral fabric of fibres. The shredding operation should be conducted with the view of cutting the fibres as little as possible, and only to such an extent as is necessary to secure the desired separation of the individual fibres. l have herein employed the term shredding and its derive.
.tives in a generic sense, to describe the op eration of so treating the fibres that each .fibre thereof is substantially free from any other fibre. In practice, the shredding of the fibres will usually be most satisfactorily effected in a shreddlng engine, but the desired result may be secured in other ways, as, for example, b brushin or combing. For example, a sti wire brush revolving at a high rate of speed and coming in contact with the fibrous material will separate the fibres into individual particles of the desired character.
The shredding en e 5 is arranged to discharge the shredde fibres on to a belt conveyor 8 preferably of the form of a screen conveyor. The fibrous material is thus shredded in the engine 5, and, falling through the discharge thereof, the shredded fibres are deposited on'the conveyor 8 to form a fiocculent layer of the desired thickness in which the fibres are heterogeneously arranged with the fibres extending in all three cubical dimensions.
r I find it desirable to subject the shredded fibres to a slight suction durin and directly after their deposition on t e conveyor 8. To this end a suction chamber 9 is arranged below the shredding engine 5, and directl beneath the supporting screen surface 0 the conveyor 8. The conveyor 8 ma bein the form of a screen of suitable mes or its supporting surface may be com sod of a suitabl perforated or foram" material, so that the fibres deposited on the conveyor .may be subjected to the action of the suction applied beneath the conveyor.
dhe layer of shredded fibres deposited on the conveyor 8 is borne along by the conveyor to a drying chamber 11. A suitable drying medium may be passed through the chamber 11 for the purpose of drying the layer of fibres carried along by the conveyor 8. The chamber 11 is thus represented in the drawing as having an entrance conduit 12 and an exit conduit 13 for passing a drying or heatin medium, such as heated air, through the c amber 11. Where the adhesive for cementing the fibres together contains a volatile solvent, it will be observed that the solvent may be removed while the fibrous mat is passing through the drying chamber 11 and may be recovered by suitably treating the vapor passing from the chamber 11 through the exit conduit 13. When using an adhesive which dries or sets quickly, the drier 11 can, if desired, be entirely omitted, although its use is preferred. Thus, for example, with such adhesives as sodium silicate, I fin'd that drying in a room is suflicient, but that a drier speeds u the rate of drying and for this reason is esirable.
Numerous adhesive agents are available for cementing the fibres together such, for example, as sodium silicate, asphalt, coal tar pitch, etc. By suitably selecting the adhesive for cementing the fibres to her, the resulting fibrous mat can be ren ered fireproof, rat-proof and moisture-proof. The adhesive may consist of a solution of sodium silicate, or sodium silicate may be incorporated with the adhesive as a fire re sistant agent. Ammonium sulfate may also be incorporated in the adhesive as a fire,
hesive has set or hardened and the fibres 'sented an articl can also be used as the adhesive. I have drying chamber 17. The finished product found a solution of coal tar pitch, or asphalt passing from the drying chamber 17 may be pitch, in carbon tetrachloride, a very suitwoun'dfupon a roll or winder 20, and in orable adhesive for cementing the fibres toder to keep the convolutions of this wound etl1er.- g The greatest cu'bical lightness and resil-- be sprinkled on the material prior to the iency are secured by drying the fibres with winding operation, as indicated by referand prefence character 21 in the drawings.
