Patent ID: 7695579

Claim:
A method of forming a stitchless seam, comprising: folding a first portion of material upon itself proximate an edge of the first portion of material to define an overfolded end portion having overlapping edge and nonedge portions; positioning a second portion of material adjacent the overfolded end portion such that the overlapping edge portion is interposed between the overlapping nonedge portion and the second portion of material; positioning a first portion of adhesive adjacent the first portion of material such that, after the first portion of material is folded upon itself, the first portion of adhesive is interposed between the overlapping edge and nonedge portions of the overfolded end portion; positioning a second portion of adhesive between the second portion of material and the edge portion of the overfolded end portion; bonding the overlapping edge and nonedge portions together; and bonding the second portion of material to the overfolded end portion, thereby forming a stitchless seam.
