Abstract
Abstract An acoustical absorbing material including a plurality of porous sheets and a plurality of high density sheets alternately superposed one over another and held together with contact with one another. At least one of the high density sheets is formed therein with one or more through-holes. The acoustical absorbing material of the above-mentioned construction exhibits a good acoustical absorption performance in a wide frequency range even if its thickness is not varied, and is effective in shutting off noises produced by electronic equipment, such as a computer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
An acoustical absorbing multilayered material exhibiting improved acoustical absorbing performance over a wide frequency range comprising: a plurality of porous sheets and a plurality of high density sheets; said plurality of high density sheets and said plurality of porous sheets being arranged alternately one in contact with another to form a multilayered material with a high density sheet being exposed and arranged on an outermost side of the material, said porous sheets and said high density sheet being held together in intimate alternate contact with one another, and at least the outermost exposed sheet of said plurality of high density sheets being formed therein with a plurality of through-holes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
109 words
An acoustical absorbing multilayered material exhibiting improved acoustical absorbing performance over a wide frequency range comprising: a plurality of porous sheets and a plurality of high density sheets; said plurality of high density sheets and said plurality of porous sheets being arranged alternately one in contact with another to form a multilayered material with a high density sheet being exposed and arranged on an outermost side of the material, said porous sheets and said high density sheet being held together in intimate alternate contact with one another, and at least the outermost exposed sheet of said plurality of high density sheets being formed therein with a plurality of through-holes.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
An acoustical absorbing material as claimed in claim 1, wherein the total area of the through-holes formed in each of said plurality of high density sheets is less than 20% of the area of the high density sheet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
An acoustical absorbing material as claimed in claim 1, wherein said plurality of porous sheets are each formed of foamed plastics.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
An acoustical absorbing material as claimed in claim 1, wherein said high density sheets are each formed of vinyl resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
An acoustical absorbing material as claimed in claim 2, wherein the porous sheets are formed of foamed plastic and the high density sheets are formed of a non-foamed resin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
An acoustical absorbing material as claimed in claim 2, wherein each of the high density sheets is provided with through-holes.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
49 words
An acoustical absorbing material as claimed in claim 2, wherein said multilayer material is formed of two high density sheets and two porous sheets; the outermost high density sheet being spaced from the other high density sheet by one porous sheet which is thinner than the other porous sheet.
