Method of making an enclosure for storing and accessing environmentally sensitive product therein

Abstract

This invention defines a method of making an enclosure for an environmentally sensitive product. The enclosure has a body portion, a support member for the product, and an ingress/egress slot formed in the body portion. A pair of teremp from a plurality of substrates with a non-woven flocked pile fiber is bonded to a plurality of substrates that in turn are then bonded to a shell plate that forms the tubular geometry of the resultant patrone for housing environmentally sensitive product, such as photographic film. The resultant uniform flocked and random pile structure of the properly dyed teremp pile provides a distinct structural light shielding member by this invention. The teremps in a continuous length along the resulting formed film ingress/egress slot along the longitudinal direction maintain a contact at that location member. The continuous length teremps are bonded to the opposite side edges. The non-woven flocked pile teremp has more uniform pile height and greatly reduced individual loose fibers and long fibers.
