(under subclass 104) Method or apparatus wherein impingement of the fluid stream is applied to the nonwoven textile article or structure while sandwiched between upper and lower permeable or porous sustaining elements which form a rearranging zone for the component members of the article or structure.
(1) Note. The sustaining elements commonly comprise an apertured forming member through which the fluid stream is first directed and which determines the locations of the fluid stream in the rearranging zone and a permeable backing member through which the fluid leaves the rearranging zone.
