  • Method for the production of a transverse web
    Patent number: 6425969
    Abstract: A transverse fiber web includes a base stabilizing layer, a fiber layer and a second stabilizing layer. A longitudinal fiber web with sides that are substantially parallel to the fibers is cut into web parts, which are then reassembled to form the transverse fiber web. The fibers of the transverse fiber web form angle with a longitudinal direction of the transverse fiber web that is greater than 0°. The material selected for the base stabilizing layer can absorb tensile forces in the longitudinal direction of the transverse fiber web to increase the stability of the transverse fiber web during manufacture. The wed parts used in the assembly of the transverse fiber web can be complementary shaped to interlock with each other, or can overlap to permit flexible assembly of the transverse fiber web.
