Multi-layered articles having discontinuous adhesive regions

A multi-layered article comprising:

• a first textile;
• and
• an adhesive layer positioned on said first textile, said adhesive layer containing first adhesive regions and second adhesive regions,
• wherein said first adhesive regions contain an amount of adhesive that is greater than an amount of adhesive present in said second adhesive regions,
• wherein said multi-layered article has a stretch force at 20% elongation of less than three times the stretch force of said first textile at 20% elongation
• wherein each said first adhesive region induces a radius of curvature that forms raised portions in said multi-layered article that correspond to said second adhesive regions,
• wherein said raised portions are positioned towards said first textile.

A multi-layered article comprising:

• a first textile;
• and
• an adhesive layer positioned on said first textile, said adhesive layer containing at least one first region having a first percent area coverage of adhesive and at least one second region having a second percent area coverage of adhesive, said first percent area coverage of adhesive being greater than said second area coverage of adhesive,
• wherein said first region forms at least one distinctive shape, said at least one shape being repeated two or more times and having a geometric or abstract form and
• wherein each said first region having a first percent area of coverage induces a radius of curvature that forms raised portions in said multi-layered article that correspond to said second regions having a second percent area of coverage, and
• wherein said at least one first region contains adhesive dots.

A multi-layered article comprising:

• a first textile;
• and
• an adhesive layer positioned on said first textile, said adhesive layer containing first adhesive regions and second adhesive regions,
• wherein said first adhesive regions contain an amount of adhesive that is greater than an amount of adhesive present in said second adhesive regions,
• wherein said multi-layered article has a stretch force at 20% elongation of less than three times the stretch force of said first textile at 20% elongation,
• wherein each said first adhesive region induces a radius of curvature that forms raised portions in said multi-layered article that correspond to said second adhesive regions, and
• wherein said raised portions are positioned towards said first adhesive layer.

A multi-layered article comprising:

• a first textile;
• and
• an adhesive layer positioned on said first textile, said adhesive layer containing at least one first region having a first percent area coverage of adhesive and at least one second region having a second percent area coverage of adhesive, said first percent area coverage of adhesive being greater than said second area coverage of adhesive,
• wherein said first region forms at least one distinctive shape, said at least one shape being repeated two or more times and having a geometric or abstract form,
• wherein each said first region having a first percent area of coverage induces a radius of curvature that forms raised portions in said multi-layered article that correspond to said second regions having a second percent area of coverage, and
• wherein at least one of said first region comprises a continuous band of adhesive surrounding a plurality of adhesive dots.

A multi-layered article comprising:

• a first textile;
• and
• an adhesive layer positioned on said first textile, said adhesive layer containing at least one first region having a first percent area coverage of adhesive and at least one second region having a second percent area coverage of adhesive, said first percent area coverage of adhesive being greater than said second area coverage of adhesive;
• and
• a second textile on said adhesive layer on a side opposing said first textile
• wherein said first region forms at least one distinctive shape, said at least one shape being repeated two or more times and having a geometric or abstract form and
• wherein each said first region having a first percent area of coverage induces a radius of curvature that forms raised portions in said multi-layered article that correspond to said second regions having a second percent area of coverage.
