Abstract:
Herein are disclosed apparatus and methods for impinging heated fluids onto the surfaces of substrates to heat the surfaces of the substrates so as to facilitate melt-bonding the substrates to each other to form a laminate. Also are disclosed are laminates in which a fibrous web is bonded to a substrate in a surface-bonded manner and/or is bonded in a loft-retaining manner. The substrate may comprise protrusions on the surface of the substrate opposite the surface that is bonded to the fibrous web.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 8  wherein the first major surface of the substrate is preheated by contacting the first major surface of the substrate with a preheat roll prior to the impinging of heated fluid onto the first major surface of the substrate.
