Abstract
A foraminous sheet having properties similar to those of a sheet formed by perforation is made by arranging filaments in overlying groups to produce a non-woven mesh, and applying pressure to the overlying groups so that the intersections of the filaments are flattened to an extent such that the sheet which is produced has a substantially uniform thickness except at the locations of its openings and in the immediate vicinity thereof. The filaments of the mesh are fused together at their intersections in the pressure application step. Fusion of the filaments as well as flattening are aided by the application of heat.
