Cushioning system with parallel sheets having opposing indentions for linear deflection under load
First Claim
1. A cushion comprising:
- (a) a first surface made of flexible high polymer resin;
(b) a second surface made of flexible high polymer resin, in at least partially coextensive relation to said first surface to define a cavity therebetween, said coextensive relation defining opposing corresponding portions of said first and second surfaces;
(c) a plurality of support members comprising inwardly directed indentations in both of said first and second surfaces extending into the cavity, a plurality of the indentations in each of the first and second surfaces having a square shape and an outwardly facing recess, a plurality of the indentations in said first surface abutting said indentations in the second surface;
(d) a layer of visco-elastic foam substantially overlying the first surface; and
,(e) a fabric enclosure surrounding the first surface, the second surface and the foam layer.

2. A cushioning component comprising:
-
(a) a top surface made of flexible high polymer resin; (b) a bottom surface made of flexible high polymer resin, in at least partially coextensive relation to said top surface to define a cavity therebetween, said coextensive relation defining opposing corresponding portions of said top and bottom surfaces; (c) a plurality of support members comprising inwardly directed indentations in both of said top and bottom surfaces extending into the cavity, a plurality of the indentations in each of the top and bottom surfaces being substantially square in cross section and having an outwardly facing recess, a plurality of the indentations in said top surface abutting said indentations in the bottom surface. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6)
