Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a laminate particularly adapted for bedding, padding and upholstering comprising the steps of feeding an indeterminate length of a first material along a predetermined first path of travel from a source of the first material to a downstream assembly area, feeding an indeterminate length of second material along a predetermined second path of travel from a source of the second material to the downstream assembly area, depositing pieces of latex foam of random sizes upon an upper surface of one of the first and second indeterminate lengths of material during the feeding thereof between the respective sources and the assembly area, sandwiching the pieces of latex foam between the indeterminate lengths of first and second materials to form a laminate therefrom, rolling the laminate into a roll, edge-binding longitudinal edges of the laminate, and performing the edge-binding step by applying an adhesive to a longitudinal edge of at least one of the first and second indeterminate lengths of material.
