20150079353 | THERMAL FOOT COVER - A cloth includes a scrim backing and an aluminized coating heat pressed to either or both sides of the scrim, preferably between rollers which apply pressure to the scrim and the coating at a temperature selected to cause the coating to adhere to the scrim. If the scrim is dimpled, the heated aluminized plastic flows into the dimples, enhancing the bonding of the coating to the scrim and also at least partially filling the dimples to provide a smoother reflective finish than the uncoated surface of the scrim. If the scrim is not already dimpled, the surface of the pressing rollers can be selected to provide the desired dimpling. The scrim strengthens the cloth against tearing, stretching and distortion. The coating provides a radiant barrier. The resulting cloth is thin, lightweight, easily manipulated, thermally efficient, extremely “quiet” and especially well suited to hunting or other natural-environment activities. | 03-19-2015 |
