Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001088440
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
This invention provides a simple, low cost product and method for containing fiber insulation for application to appliances. The invention comprises a combination of an appliance, fiber insulation layer applied to the exterior surface of a wall of the appliance and a metal foil layer adhesively bonded to the outside of the fiber layer. This combination is conveniently formed by adhesively bonding the fiber layer to the metal foil, then applying the fiber layer to the exterior surface of the wall of the appliance. The invention provides the advantage that in the appliance final assembly, the fiber layer is contained between the surface of the wall of the appliance and the metal foil layer. Optionally, the fiber is contained between two or more layers of metal foil, whereby one of the metal foil layers is in contact with the wall of the appliance. Additionally, the metal foil layers employed in this invention are preferably multilayer metal foil materials.
