Abstract: Multiple filter bags are formed from a layered composite sheet of two, essentially identical fibrous or felt layers by needling a plurality of transverse paths each 0.75 to 1.5 inches wide on the composite sheet, the paths being spaced 4-18 inches apart so as to form a plurality of tubular shaped channels. The needled transverse paths are then slit longitudinally along a central line so as to form separate elongated tubes, which are then cross cut apart transversely to produce segments of any desired length such as 12-36 inches. These segments are each final closed at one end of each segment by needling or stitching to form multiple filter bag structures. The invention also includes the felt filter bags produced by this method of manufacture.
