Abstract
A method of making a mesh cushion. The method includes extruding a material through a plurality of filament forming openings in at least one die plate to form a plurality of filaments. The filaments may be at least partially submerged into a fluid to cool and harden the filaments into the mesh cushion.
Claims20
A method of making a mesh cushion, comprising:
- extruding a material through a plurality of filament forming openings in a die plate to form a plurality of filaments;
- depositing the plurality of filaments on a first roller and a second roller, wherein the first roller is rotatable about a first axis and defines a first recess and a first end plate, and the second roller is rotatable about a second axis and defines a second recess;
- and
- directing the plurality of filaments into the first recess, the second recess and through a gap between the first roller and the second roller based on a rotation of the first roller and the second roller, and the first end plate overlapping at least a portion of the second roller, thereby forming the plurality of filaments into the mesh cushion having a variable cross-sectional shape.
