Abstract
A non-woven elastic cloth includes a perforated elastomer film having discrete warp lines, discrete weft lines, and peripheral flanges. Each of the discrete warp lines has warp segments. Each of the discrete weft lines has weft segments. The warp segments intersect the weft segments so as to form a woven-like texture and define grid spaces thereamong. Each warp segment has two opposite ends cooperating with two adjacent ones of the weft segments to form two first V-shaped recesses. Each weft segment has two opposite ends cooperating with two adjacent ones of the warp segments to form two second V-shaped recesses. Each peripheral flange protrudes outwardly of a respective grid space.

A non-woven elastic cloth having a woven-like texture that simulates a texture of interlaced warp and weft yarns of a conventional woven cloth, said non-woven elastic cloth comprising a perforated elastomer film having a plurality of discrete warp lines extending in a warp direction and adapted to simulate the warp yarns of the conventional woven cloth, a plurality of discrete weft lines extending in a weft direction and adapted to simulate the weft yarns of the conventional woven cloth, and a plurality of peripheral flanges, each of said discrete warp lines having a plurality of warp segments, each of said discrete weft lines having a plurality of weft segments, said warp segments of said warp lines intersecting said weft segments of said weft lines so as to form a woven-like texture and to define a plurality of first grid spaces thereamong, each of said warp segments having two opposite ends that respectively meet and cooperate with two adjacent ones of said weft segments to form two first V-shaped recesses thereat, each of said weft segments having two opposite ends that respectively meet and cooperate with two adjacent ones of said warp segments to form two second V-shaped recesses thereat, each of said peripheral flanges protruding outwardly of a respective one of said first grid spaces from corresponding ones of said warp and weft segments that cooperatively define the respective one of said first grid spaces, and having an end opening that is disposed outwardly of the respective one of said first grid spaces.
