Abstract
An insulating fiber mat is comprised of a plurality of fibers bound together by a binder means and distributed throughout the mat. At least some of the fibers throughout the mat are inclined. The inclined fibers on opposed sides of a central horizontal plane of the mat have opposed angles of inclination. This permits the fiber mat to be easily separated substantially along the central horizontal plane by applying a pulling force on one side of the mat in the direction of the inclined fibers.
Claims8
An insulating fiber mat comprising a plurality of fibers bound together by binder means and distributed throughout the mat, at least some of said fibers throughout said mat being inclined, said inclined fibers on opposed sides of a central horizontal plane of said mat having opposed angles of inclination whereby said mat can be easily separated substantially along said central horizontal plane by applying a pulling force on one side of said mat in the direction of said inclined fibers.
A fiber mat for producing a fiber board, said board comprising a plurality of fibers bound together by binder means and distributed throughout said mat, at least some of said fibers throughout said mat being inclined, said inclined fibers on opposed sides as a juncture plane of said mat having opposed angles of inclination whereby said mat is a double-formed mat of increased thickness sufficient to be compressed into a fiber board.
