US Patent:

20040035534, Feb 26, 2004

Filed:

Feb 14, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/367634

Inventors:

Jerry Owens - Boiling Springs SC, US
Joseph Moon - Greer SC, US
Susan Crow - Simpsonville SC, US

International Classification:

E06B009/00

US Classification:

160/038000

Abstract:

Interior design structures and lightweight furniture formed from a felted fibrous material such as needle punched felt as the material of construction in replacement for wood. The felted fibrous material is adapted to provide adequate strength to permit construction of three dimensional structures by use of standard joining techniques such as screws, nails, glue and the like. At the same time, the nature of the felted fibrous material affords the opportunity to bend and shape the material thereby allowing additional freedom in construction and use.

Appl. No.:

10/652149

Inventors:

Jerry Owens - Boiling Springs SC, US
John Burns - Simpsonville SC, US

International Classification:

B32B023/04

US Classification:

428/532000, 442/320000, 442/152000

Abstract:

Flame retardant textile structures which may be used alone or in combination with one or more covering layer to impart enhanced flame resistance in a wide array of applications. In particular, the textile structure incorporates a wool-based felt which contains about % by weight or greater of a mammal generated wool material.

Appl. No.:

11/412495

Inventors:

John Burns - Simpsonville SC, US
Smita Edmonds - Greer SC, US
Jerry Owens - Boiling Springs SC, US

International Classification:

B32B 5/26
B32B 5/06

US Classification:

442381000, 442387000, 442268000

Abstract:

A nonwoven composite structure having a plurality of layers of nonwoven fiber batting bonded in laminating relation to one another by a localized adhesive disposed between the layers. The adhesive between the layers of fiber batting preferably extends across the interface between the adjacent layers so as to at least partially penetrate each of the layers thereby enhancing the bond strength between the layers. The bond strength between the layers and the uniformity of the resultant bonded structure may be further enhanced by forcibly extending fibers from at least one layer of batting through the material forming the adhesive such as by needling prior to activation of the adhesive such that a portion of the fibers forming the layers of batting extends across the adhesive between the bonded layers.

International Classification:

A47C 19/00
A47C 23/00

US Classification:

005280000

Abstract:

Felted fibrous construction materials and articles formed therefrom. The felted fibrous construction material is adapted to provide adequate strength to permit construction of three dimensional structures by use of standard joining techniques such as screws, nails, glue and the like. Panels of the felted fibrous construction material also provide substantial impact resistance when used in storm shutter applications.
