Abstract: Window treatment structures formed from a felted fibrous material such as needle punched felt as the material of construction. The felted fibrous material is adapted to accept grooved score lines to define living hinges for bending of the material to form top and/or side portions of the finished structure using a singe panel of such material.
Abstract: Interior design structures and lightweight furniture formed from a felted fibrous material such as needle punched felt as the material of construction in replacement for wood. The felted fibrous material is adapted to provide adequate strength to permit construction of three dimensional structures by use of standard joining techniques such as screws, nails, glue and the like. At the same time, the nature of the felted fibrous material affords the opportunity to bend and shape the material thereby allowing additional freedom in construction and use.

Abstract: A dryer seal. The seal is formed from an elongate multi-layer structure having a strip of fibrous material folded upon itself to establish a folded perimeter edge and a pair of outwardly projecting portions projecting away from the folded perimeter edge. A fibrous interior spacer layer is located between the outwardly projecting portions and a single attachment seam extends at an inboard location substantially parallel to said folded perimeter edge.
