Method of Manufacturing A Contoured Fluid-Filled Chamber With A Tensile Member

A fluid-filled chamber comprising:

• an outer barrier including a first barrier layer having a first surface and a second barrier layer having a second surface, the first barrier layer and the second barrier layer cooperating to define an interior void;
• and
• a tensile member located within the interior void and including a first layer disposed adjacent to the first surface, a second layer disposed adjacent to the second surface, and a plurality of connecting members extending between the first layer and the second layer, the first layer including a plurality of first contact areas where the first layer is in contact with the first surface of the first barrier layer and a plurality of first spaced areas where the first layer is spaced apart from and opposes the first surface of the first barrier layer.

The fluid-filled chamber of claim 1, wherein the second layer includes a plurality of second contact areas where the second layer is in contact with the second surface of the second barrier layer and a plurality of second spaced areas where the second layer is spaced apart from and opposes the second surface of the second barrier layer.

A fluid-filled chamber comprising:

• an outer barrier including a first barrier layer and a second barrier layer that cooperate to define an interior void, the first barrier layer including a plurality of first protrusions extending in a direction away from the second barrier layer;
• and
• a tensile member located within the interior void and including a first layer disposed adjacent to the first surface, a second layer disposed adjacent to the second surface, and a plurality of connecting members extending between the first layer and the second layer, the first layer including a plurality of first contact areas where the first layer is in contact with the first barrier layer and a plurality of first spaced areas aligned with respective ones of the plurality of first protrusions where the first layer is spaced apart from the first barrier layer.
