Abstract: A nonwoven fabric comprising at least one layer of textile fibers or net of polymeric filaments and at least one web of melt blown microfibers, bonded together by hydroentangling. The nonwoven fabric may be apertured by hydroentangling or may have areas of higher density and areas of lower density. The fabric has a favorable combination of softness, dryness, tensile strength and hand. Several processes are provided for producing the nonwoven fabric of the invention.

Abstract: A barrier assembly is provided for protecting shorelines and structures adjacent shorelines from damage attributable to oil spills. The barrier assembly includes a flexible sheet material that is impermeable to oil. One surface of the flexible sheet material may also have oil-absorbing characteristics. Each sheet has a top edge from which tie downs extend for securing sheets to structures adjacent the shoreline. Each sheet also includes a bottom edge having anchors for holding the bottom edge below the surface of the water. The sheets may include structure for connecting adjacent sheets in top-to-bottom relationship and/or in side-to-side relationship.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种屏障组件，用于保护海岸线周围的海岸线和结构免受因漏油造成的损害。 隔离组件包括不透油的柔性片材。 柔性片材的一个表面也可以具有吸油特性。 每个片材具有一个顶部边缘，从该紧固件的伸出部分可以将片材固定在靠近海岸线的结构上。 每个片材还包括具有用于将底部边缘保持在水表面下方的锚固件的底部边缘。 这些片材可以包括用于以从上到下的关系和/或从侧面到侧面关系连接相邻片材的结构。

Abstract: A mat assembly is provided for absorbing liquid, such as oil, that may be spilled near a machine or automotive vehicle. The mat assembly includes a mat with at least an upper layer formed from a woven or non-woven array of fibers. The mat assembly further includes a frame formed from strips that can be cut to match the periphery of the mat. Each strip has a bottom surface with an attachment tape that can be engaged releasably with the woven or non-woven fibers of the mat. The restraining strip may include an array of resilient hooked filaments that can engage the fibers of the mat. The strips hold the mat in a planar orientation. However, the strips can be separated from the mat easily when the mat has become saturated. The mat then can be discarded and replaced with a new mat, and the same strips can be fixed to the upper surface of the new mat.

Abstract translation: 提供垫组件用于吸收可能在机器或机动车辆附近溢出的液体，例如油。 垫组件包括至少由织物或非编织纤维阵列形成的上层的垫。 垫组件还包括由条形成的框架，该框架可以被切割成与垫的周边相匹配。 每个条具有底表面，其具有附接带，其可以与垫的织造或非织造纤维可释放地接合。 约束带可以包括能够接合垫的纤维的弹性钩状丝的阵列。 条带以平坦的方向固定垫子。 然而，当垫已饱和时，条可以容易地与垫分离。 然后可以丢弃垫子并用新的垫子代替，并且将相同的条带固定到新垫子的上表面。
