Patent ID: 6986932

Claim:
A multi-layer article comprising: a first layer comprising: a) a first ply; b) a second ply joined to the first ply in a face to face relationship at a plurality of discrete bond sites, the first and second plies forming an interior region therebetween; c) a third material being disposed between the first and second plies, the third material being differentiated from the first or second ply by at least one material property selected from the group consisting of thermal properties, elongation properties, elastic properties, and conductive properties, the third material substantially filling the interior region; and d) the third material being apertured in regions coincident with the bond sites, such that the first and second plies are joined through the apertures; a second layer comprising a continuous cellulosic web; a third layer comprising: a) a first ply; b) a second ply joined to the first ply in a face to face relationship at a plurality of discrete bond sites, the first and second plies forming an interior region therebetween; c) a third material being disposed between the first and second plies, the third material being differentiated from the first or second ply by at least one material property selected from the group consisting of thermal properties, elongation properties, elastic properties, and conductive properties, the third material substantially filling the interior region; and d) the third material being apertured in regions coincident with the bond sites, such that the first and second plies are joined through the apertures; wherein the second layer is disposed between the first layer and the third layer; and, wherein the first layer is bonded to the second layer and the second layer is bonded to the third layer.
