Abstract
A desk pad comprising a fibrous backing and a substantially smooth facing, the backing and facing being bonded to one another peripherally and also at some short distance inwardly from the peripheral bond, thereby to form a central zone having a pocket and a peripheral zone having a pocket, a central filler within said central pocket and comprising a compressible base and a relatively rigid topping, and a peripheral filler in said peripheral pocket and comprising a relatively rigid base and a compressible topping, whereby the peripheral zone constitutes a soft support for a writer's arm while the central zone constitutes a firm writing support, is produced by laying down said backing, superposing on said backing said peripheral filler and spaced therein said central filler, positioning thereon said facing, and applying heat and pressure to fuse said facing to said backing to form said peripheral bond and inner bond and said peripheral and central pockets.
