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 8):
The method of  claim 7  wherein the first backing surface is the surface of a first backing roll and the second backing surface is the surface of a second backing roll and wherein the contacting of the first major surface of the fibrous web with the first major surface of the substrate is performed by passing the fibrous web and the substrate through a lamination nip established by the first and second backing rolls.
