Patent number: 7166547Abstract: An under carpet heat shield/floor pan insulator is provided for a vehicle. The shield/insulator includes an acoustical and thermal insulating layer of polymer fiber that shows no signs of any thickness increase, delamination, deterioration or any undesirable effect which may affect performance for at least 330 hours when maintained at a temperature of at least approximately 150° C. The shield/insulator may include a relatively high density, nonlaminate skin of polymer fiber and/or one or more facing layers constructed from polymer material.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2002Date of Patent: January 23, 2007Assignee: Owens Corning Fiberglas Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey A. Tilton, Bharat D. Patel, Thomas T. Block, Larry E. Targett

Patent number: 6835413Abstract: A continuous and flexible method and apparatus is provided for applying one or more coating materials to internal and/or external portions of a fiber batt to provide edge and surface coating layers on those surfaces of the fiber batt that will be exposed during subsequent use. The invention provides for the coating to be applied selectively all exposed surfaces of a fiber batt and provided internally within the fiber batt for later splitting into opposing edges, thereby improving both the manufacturing process and the consistency and flexibility of the resulting product by reducing or eliminating the need for subsequent manual coating of unfinished edge surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2002Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: Owens Corning Fiberglas Technology, Inc.Inventor: Bharat D. Patel

Patent number: 6221464Abstract: An insulation assembly includes an elongated batt of fibrous insulation material having two opposed major surfaces, where the batt has a first facing secured on its first major surface. The first facing extends beyond the side edges of the batt to form opposed flanges suitable for attaching the insulation assembly to a building structure. The batt has a second facing secured on its second major surface, with the second facing extending beyond the side edges of the batt to form opposed flanges suitable for attaching the insulation assembly to a building structure. The method of making an insulation assembly includes moving a pack of fibrous insulation material along a path, where the fibrous insulation material has two opposed major surfaces. A continuous encapsulation material is applied to the pack, and a portion of the encapsulation material is continuously gathered to form a two part fold.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1999Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Inventors: Bharat D. Patel, Steven G. Schmitt, Michael T. Heffelfinger, Rebecca L. Thomas-Dutiel, Weigang Qi
