EXTENSIBLE COMPOSITE HAVING RIBS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024168 titled 'EXTENSIBLE COMPOSITE HAVING RIBS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an extensible composite consisting of two layers. The first layer is made of a non-woven material and has a first surface and a second surface. The second layer is made of an elastomeric material and has a first surface facing the first surface of the first layer and a second surface. The second layer includes multiple ribs extending from its first surface. The first layer is attached to the second layer at multiple attachment positions, creating a space between the first surface of the first layer and the first surface of the second layer.

  • The patent describes an extensible composite material with two layers, one made of non-woven material and the other made of elastomeric material with ribs.
  • The first layer is attached to the second layer at multiple attachment positions, creating a space between the two layers.
  • The composite material is designed to be stretchable and flexible.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical applications such as wound dressings or bandages that can conform to different body shapes and allow for air circulation.
  • Protective clothing or gear that can stretch and adapt to the wearer's movements.
  • Packaging materials that can expand or contract based on the contents.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a flexible and stretchable material that can accommodate different shapes and movements.
  • Enhances breathability and air circulation in applications such as wound dressings.
  • Offers improved comfort and fit in clothing or gear.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved functionality and versatility in various applications.
  • Enhanced comfort and fit for users.
  • Potential for cost-effective manufacturing due to the use of non-woven and elastomeric materials.


Original Abstract Submitted

an extensible composite including a first layer and a second layer, the first layer having a first layer first surface and a first layer second surface opposing the first layer first surface, the first layer being constructed of a non-woven material, the second layer having a second layer first surface facing the first layer first surface and a second layer second surface opposing the second layer first surface, the second layer being constructed of an elastomeric material and including a plurality of ribs extending from at least the second layer first surface, wherein at least a portion of the first layer first surface is attached to the second layer first surface at a plurality of attachment positions and the first layer and the second layer are configured to define a space between the first layer first surface and the second layer first surface between adjacent attachment positions.
