Claims
- 1. A dressed leather provided at least on one side with depressions and having on said one side absorbent protruding fibers and being bonded at this side with a layer formed from an aqueous dispersion of synthetic plastics material,
- said layer filling the depressions and completely receiving the protruding fibers and forming at least part of a dressing,
- said dressing being provided with a structured surface at the side turned away from the leather, the dressing consisting of
- an inner layer which is adjacent the leather and completely receives the protruding fibers, and which is formed from the aqueous dispersion of synthetic plastics material, and
- an outer layer which has the structured surface and is formed from an aqueous dispersion of synthetic plastics material, the inner layer having a greater thickness and lesser density than the outer layer, the thickness of the inner layer being greater than 0.11 mm, the thickness of the outer layer being smaller than 0.10 mm, and at least the inner layer having a pore structure or foam structure, respectively, and
- a reinforcement in at least one of the layers.
- 2. A leather as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inner layer located adjacent the leather is made neutral with respect to color relative to the leather and relative to the outer layer comprising the structured surface and wherein pigments or, respectively, dye stuffs are incorporated into the outer layer and define the color shade of the dressing.
- 3. A leather as claimed in claim 1 wherein the thickness of the inner layer is greater than 0.21 mm.
- 4. A leather as claimed in claim 3 wherein at least in the inner layer there are embedded hollow microspheres having a diameter between 0.008 and 0.10 mm, the microspheres having thin shells consisting of a vinylidenechloride copolymer, the inner layer containing more than 8 percent by volume of hollow microspheres.
- 5. A leather as claimed in claim 3 wherein the inner layer has a density between 0.6 and 0.8 and the outer layer has a density between 0.82 and 1.24.
- 6. A leather as claimed in claim 1 wherein the reinforcement consists of a textile material or fleece having a weight per unit area of less than 80 g/m.sup.2.
- 7. A leather as claimed in claim 3 wherein the structured surface of the outer layer is provided with an additional thin finish layer.
- 8. A leather as claimed in claim 3 wherein the structured surface of the outer layer has the appearance of a finely ground, full-grain leather.
- 9. A leather as claimed in claim 3 wherein at least the outer layer contains finest cellulose particles.
- 10. A leather as claimed in claim 3 wherein at least the outer layer contains heat-sensible substances.
- 11. A leather as claimed in claim 10 wherein at least the outer layer contains polyvinylmethylether.
- 12. A leather as claimed in claim 3 which has, together with the dressing, a permeability for water vapor of more than 0.3 mg/cm.sup.2.
