Abstract
The disclosed technology includes a polyurethane foam block including a base having a plurality of recesses and a top surface having a plurality of connective components protruding outward from the top surface where each connective component of the plurality of connective components can align with a recess of the plurality of recesses. The polyurethane foam block can include a plurality of walls extending upward from the base and defining an interior. The polyurethane foam block can include a plurality of partitions extending from the base to the top surface to divide the block into a plurality of cavities, each cavity traversing a height of the block.
Claims22
A polyurethane foam block comprising:
- a base including a plurality of recesses;
- a plurality of walls extending upward from the base, the plurality of walls defining an interior, at least one of the walls of the plurality of walls being beveled to facilitate removal from a portable molding device;
- a top surface including a plurality of connective components protruding outward from the top surface, each connective component of the plurality of connective components aligning with a respective recess of the plurality of recesses;
- and
- a plurality of partitions extending from the base to the top surface configured to divide the block into a plurality of cavities, each cavity traversing a height of the block,
- wherein the plurality of connective components is defined by at least six connective components,
- wherein the plurality of recesses is defined by at least six recesses,
