Application No. 10/211,683
1. A laminated construction comprising
at least one layer having a plurality of criss-
crossing foamed filaments adhered to each other and defining
a net with mesh openings selected from the group consisting of
an elongated diamond shape and a square shape, each said
filament being of circular cross section with a diameter of 1/8
inch, said layer characterized in being laterally stretchable
with limited longitudinal stretchability; and
at least a second layer laminated to said one layer.
17. An insulation medium comprising
a laminated structure including a plurality of layers
of net material disposed in overlying laminated relation to each
other, each said layer having a plurality of criss-crossing
foamed plastic filaments adhered to each other and defining a
net, said laminated structure being characterized in having a
lateral stiffness sufficient to be frictionally held between a
pair of elongated supports;
a foil layer disposed over one side of said laminated
structure for reflecting heat; and
a paper layer disposed over an opposite side of said
laminated structure.
