Estimating the term…
Multilayer metal foil pads or panels for heat or sound insulation or shielding comprising two or more corrugated metal foil or metal sheet layers wherein a flat metal foil or metal sheet layer is positioned between each pair of corrugated layers. The corrugated layers and/or the flat layers may be embossed, patterned or textured to enhance performance of the pad or panel. A preferred pad or panel comprises an embossed, patterned or textured flat exterior layer adapted for contacting the surface to be insulated or shielded to provide air space between the pad or panel and the surface and to separate the first corrugated layer from the surface. Methods are provided for making the pads and panels, which are useful in automotive applications, food cooking devices and other uses.
A multilayer metal foil insulation comprising two corrugated metal foil layers being separated by a flat metal foil layer positioned between said corrugated layers and having on the outside of one of said corrugated layers an embossed flat metal foil exterior layer adapted for contact with a surface to be insulated wherein the embossment in the exterior layer provides air space between the exterior layer and the surface.
A multilayer metal sheet insulation comprising two corrugated metal sheet layers being separated by a flat metal sheet layer positioned between said corrugated layers and having on the outside of one of said corrugated layers an embossed flat metal sheet exterior layer adapted for contact with a surface to be insulated wherein the embossment in the exterior layer provides air space between the exterior layer and the surface.
A food cooking device having a surface insulated with a multilayer metal foil insulation comprising two corrugated metal foil layers being separated by a flat metal foil layer positioned between said corrugated layers and having on the outside of one of said corrugated layers an embossed flat metal foil or sheet exterior layer adapted for contact with the surface wherein the embossment in the exterior layer provides air space between the exterior layer and the surface.
A method of making a multilayer metal foil insulation comprising corrugating first and second metal foil layers, embossing a first flat metal foil layer, and assembling the first and second corrugated metal foil layers (a) with a second flat metal foil layer positioned between the first and second corrugated metal foil layers and (b) with the embossed or patterned first flat metal foil layer on the side of the first corrugated metal foil layer opposite the second flat metal foil layer.
A multilayer metal foil insulation pad comprising two corrugated metal foil layers separated by a flat metal foil layer positioned between said corrugated layers wherein the exterior layer of the pad or panel is adapted for contact with a surface to be insulated and adapted to provide air space between the exterior layer and the surface.
