Abstract: A saddlebag container has a tub made of a plurality of composite fiber panels three dimensionally thermally molded or thermoformed in a chill forming process to form at least a plurality of structurally supporting tub walls and can have a lid of such construction. A preferred tub is formed of a plurality of panels with one panel three dimensionally shaped to form one sidewall and at least one of an endwall and bottom wall and another panel three dimensionally shaped to form the other sidewall that serves as a base to which the one panel is attached which can also provide a vehicle attachment mount. A preferred lid is formed of a panel that can have an outwardly extending mounting flap used to attach the lid to the base which can also serve as a hinge of the lid. A preferred tub and lid construction has at least two layers with one layer of a fibrous material and another layer of a different material that can provide a cover.

Abstract: The present invention includes a layered acoustical system for sound attenuation in a vehicle including an external decorative layer; a moldable fiber backer adhesively adhered to a back side of the decorative layer, the moldable fiber backer further including an engineered fiber blend including one or more types of thermoplastic fibers and having a first density; a moldable lofted sound absorber and vibration decoupling layer including being made from another engineered fiber blend including one or more types of thermoplastic fibers and having a second density that is less than the first density of the moldable backer, a top side of the vibration decoupling layer being adhesively adhered to the second side of the moldable fiber backer; and an intermediate layer embedded in a location within the vibration decoupling layer to achieve a balance point between transmission loss and sound absorption.
