Frangible fiberglass insulation batts

Abstract

A frangible fiberglass insulation batt includes a pair of fiberglass strips arranged to lie in side-by-side relation to one another and a frangible adhesive bridge spanning a gap between the fiberglass strips and retaining the fiberglass strips in side-by-side relation. To produce such a batt, a fiberglass insulation blanket is cut along its length to form two side-by-side fiberglass strips and then an adhesive material is applied to form a frangible adhesive bridge between the strips.

1 - 24 . (canceled)  
     
     
         25 . A frangible fiberglass insulation batt comprising 
 a pair of fiberglass insulation strips arranged to lie in side-by-side relation to one another and    a frangible adhesive bridge spanning a gap located between the pair of fiberglass insulation strips to produce a frangible bond retaining the fiberglass insulation strips in side-by-side relation.    
     
     
         26 . The frangible fiberglass insulation batt of  claim 25  comprising 
 glass fibers bonded together to form a first bond, and    wherein the frangible bond is a second bond different from the first bond.    
     
     
         27 . The frangible fiberglass insulation batt of  claim 26  wherein the second bond is formed after the first bond.  
     
     
         28 . The frangible fiberglass insulation batt of  claim 25  wherein the frangible adhesive bond is relatively weak in comparison to the first bond.  
     
     
         29 . A frangible fiberglass insulation batt comprising 
 at least two previously-separated and reattached fiberglass insulation strips arranged to lie in side-by-side relation to another, and    a frangible adhesive bridge spanning a gap between the previously-separated and reattached fiberglass insulation strips to produce a frangible bond.
