US Patent:

20040067820, Apr 8, 2004

Filed:

Oct 3, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/263602

Inventors:

Scott Noble - Denver CO, US
Steven Wilson - Littleton CO, US
William Farrell - Englewood CO, US
Peter Foley - Castle Rock CO, US

International Classification:

A63B005/06

US Classification:

482/018000

Abstract:

A pole vault planting box is cushioned to reduce and minimize the risk of injury to pole vaulters. The planting box includes a base pan which is mounted below ground level adjacent the runway, and a sloped surface extending downwardly from the base surface to a pole planting position adjacent the stop-board. Cushioning components are positioned on the base surface and sloped surface of the base pan. A top cover may be positioned over some or all of the base pan to provide a cavity which may enclose cushioning components.

International Classification:

B32B 1/00

US Classification:

428174000

Abstract:

A two-layer structural material of sandwich design is disclosed which comprises opposed, generally planar sheets having interlocking protrusions. The material may be formed of plastic resin, metal, paper, paperboard, or composite material and has increased rigidity over single sheet material without the complexity of 3-layer materials such as corrugated board and honeycomb-cored structures.

International Classification:

F16F 7/12
B32B 37/04
B32B 3/26

US Classification:

188377, 156242

Abstract:

An interdigitated cellular cushioning system includes an array of void cells protruding from each of two binding layers interdigitated between the two binding layers. Peaks of each of the void cells are attached to the opposite binding layer forming the interdigitated cellular cushioning system. The interdigitated cellular cushioning system may be used to absorb and distribute a source of kinetic energy incident on the interdigitated cellular cushioning system (e.g., an impact or explosion) so that the amount of force transmitted through the interdigitated cellular cushioning system is low enough that it does not cause injury to personnel or damage to personnel and/or equipment adjacent the interdigitated cellular cushioning system.

International Classification:

A47C 27/00
B29D 22/00

US Classification:

5652, 156145

Abstract:

A cellular cushioning system includes cells or support units arranged in one or more stacked arrays. The cells are hollow chambers that resist deflection due to compressive forces, similar to compression springs. The arrays are attached to one or more intermedial binding layers. The intermedial binding layer(s) links the cells together while allowing the cells to deform independently of one another. An external load compresses of one of the void cells within an independent compression range without significantly compressing at least one void cell adjacent the compressed void cell. The independent compression range is the displacement range of the compressed void cell that does not significantly affect the compression of adjacent void cells. If the void cell is compressed beyond the independent compression range, the intermedial binding layers may be deflected and/or the void cells adjacent the compressed void cell may be compressed.

International Classification:

A47C 27/14

US Classification:

5738, 5690, 29 911

Abstract:

A layered cushion that may be fully disassembled for easy cleaning is disclosed herein. The sleep system is durable and fire retardant. The layered cushion may include a foam layer, a layer of void cells, and a cover. The foam permits fluids to move freely there through and contours to a user's body to maximize comfort and reduce interface pressure. The reticulated foam layer resists compression set and thermosetting. The layer of void cells also permits fluids to move freely there through and provide additional support to the user's body. The individual void cells of the void cell layer are perforated to allow the transmission of fluids there through. The cover couples the other layers together to form the layered cushion and prevents the layers from deteriorating. The cover is removable to permit cleaning each of the layers independently.
