a meyer laminating machine schematically illustrated in fig1 as shown in the drawing the laminating machine 1 includes a web supply roll 2 the web 3 is fed to a heat contact system 9 which is readily known to those in the art as including heaters 10 positioned on either side of two opposed parallel belts 11 and 12 the belts 11 12 are thus heated and in turn heat the web 3 to about 200 u00b0 a pair of adjustable pressure rollers 13 14 bear against the respective belts 11 12 to compress the web 3 a subsequent cooling system 15 is provided to cool the compressed product in the case of a product made using a thermoplastic adhesive powder the web 3 is fed from the supply roller through a scatter head 4 which applies the thermoplastic adhesive powder to the surface of the web 3 a winding system 5 for thermoplastic adhesive film 6 is also provided in the machine 1 it will be apparent to those skilled in the art one or other of the scatter head system 4 or unwinding system 5 for thermoplastic adhesive film 6 is to place adhesive in contact with web 3 as described above the web 3 then continues through heat contact system 9 where the thermoplastic adhesive powder is melted under the action of heated belts 11 12 as the web 3 is simultaneously compressed under the action of pressure rollers 13 14 cooling system 15 cools the final product as described above where a further fabric layer or web is to be provided a supply.
