Abstract: A limited use or disposable nonwoven blanket including at least one spunlace layer having an inner surface and outer surface and at least one continuous filament layer having an inner surface and outer surface, wherein the outer surface of the continuous filament layer is metallized. The limited use or disposable nonwoven blanket further includes at least one heating element proximate to the metallized surface of the continuous filament layer.

Abstract: A nonwoven blanket embodying the principles of the present invention includes at least two layers, wherein a first layer comprises a spunlace fabric that exhibits one or more raised regions within the fabric. The blanket of the present invention also includes a second durable and protective layer comprising one or more layers of spunmelt fabrics, typically referred to as spunbond and meltblown fabrics. The two layers are mechanically bonded via one or more methods known in the art so as to form at least one or more insulative air pockets within the blanket.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a dry cleansing cloth that comprises at least one personal care composition imparted to the cloth, wherein the composition acts as a visual indicator of the compositions depletion with each use, eventually signaling the consumer for the need of a replacement cloth. Accordingly, the cloth of the present invention may be any suitable limited use substrate, including wovens, nonwovens, films, and combinations thereof. Preferably, the limited use cloth comprises a nonwoven substrate, wherein the nonwoven substrates may include, but are not limited to airlaid fabrics, wetlaid fabrics, spunlace fabrics, spunbond fabrics, meltblown fabrics, coform fabrics, entangled spunbond fabrics, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to continuous filament nonwoven fabrics, and more specifically directed to continuous filament nonwoven fabrics for use as low-cost disposable airline and rescue operation blankets. Continuous filament fabrics are formed utilizing the spunbond process. The spunbond process and the manner of preparing a spunbond web is set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,341,394 to Kinney and U.S. Pat. No. 4,043,201 to Brock, et al., both of which are herein incorporated by reference. The filamentary blankets of the present invention may be disposed after a single use or semi-reusable, wherein the blanket has a limited number of uses before needing to be replaced. Such blankets are suitable for a variety of applications, such as insulative blankets, emergency rescue blankets, institutional blankets, airline blankets, and other applications where blankets are used only a limited number of times or in some cases only once before being discarded.
