Abstract
The present application discloses a pad structure that includes a stretchable cuttable material with beveled edge.
Claims10
A pad structure comprising stretchable cuttable material with beveled edge.
A system of components comprising:
- a defecting device on a surface;
- a sheet of stretchable cuttable material placed on the defecting device on a surface;
- a cutter having a surface and at least one cutting element extending from the surface in a predetermined pattern, where each cutting element has a shape defining an internal space, and the internal space is optionally filled with biasing material.
A method for fabricating a stretchable cuttable material with a beveled edge, comprising:
- (a) placing a defecting device on a surface;
- (b) mounting a stretchable cuttable material on the defecting device;
- (c) providing a cutter having a surface and at least one cutting element extending from the surface in a predetermined pattern, where each cutting element has a shape defining an internal space, and the internal space is optionally filled with biasing material;
- (d) pressing the cutter into the sheet of stretchable cuttable material, thereby creating a curvature or defect on the stretchable cuttable material formed around the defecting device to form a curved or defected material, and the cutting edge cuts through the curved material thereby forming a cut sheet of stretchable cuttable material comprising a stretchable cuttable material with beveled edge and an excess of stretchable cuttable material, where each stretchable cuttable material with beveled edge has a shape corresponding to the shape of the internal space of its corresponding cutting element;
- (e) withdrawing the cutter from the cut sheet of stretchable cuttable material, thereby leaving the cut sheet of stretchable cuttable material with the cut portions of the stretchable cuttable material with beveled edge surrounded by the excess stretchable cuttable material;
- and
- (f) removing the stretchable cuttable material with beveled edge.
