Abstract
A load bearing surface assembly includes a molded component of oriented elastomeric material and an attachment loop connected to the molded component, the attachment loop configured to receive a frame member supporting the assembly.
Claims38
A load bearing support surface, comprising:
- an elastomeric molded component, said elastomeric molded component being oriented by permanent deformation of the molded shape thereof, the molded component being made of at least one of a copolymer polyester, a nylon-based TPE or a thermoplastic urethane;
- and
- an attachment loop connected to said elastomeric molded component at an edge of said elastomeric molded component, the attachment loop formed from a closed loop of a textile or a resilient polymeric material,
- wherein the elastomeric molded component is a separate distinct component from the attachment loop that is mechanically attached to the attachment loop.

A load bearing support surface, comprising:
- an elastomeric molded component, said elastomeric molded component being oriented by permanent deformation of the molded shape thereof, the molded component being made of at least one of a copolymer polyester, a nylon-based TPE or a thermoplastic urethane;
- and
- an attachment loop directly connected to said elastomeric molded component at an edge of said elastomeric molded component,
- wherein material of molded component passes through spaces between filaments and/or strands in the attachment loop, thereby providing an intimate and comprehensive bonding between attachment loop and the molded component.
