Abstract
A jointed watertight, airtight, elastomer-coated material is described. The material consists essentially of a first elastomer-coated fabric material and a second elastomer-coated fabric material, said second material being overlaid at an edge over an edge of the first material. The overlaid portion of each material is laminated to the other with a pressure-sensitive adhesive intercalated between the two materials. The laminated portion is further bound with a fastener which penetrates across the laminated portion in an up-and-down manner. Typical fasteners are thread, rivets, or bolts. The jointed material can be further bound by a tacky tape which is adhered on the bound portion of one material and the unbound portion of the other material, covering the joint between the edges of the two materials. The jointed waterproof, airtight, elastomer-coated fabric material is particularly useful for air-supported structures.
