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.
Claims20
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;
- 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 recess of the plurality of recesses;
- and
- 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.
A wall of moldable foam blocks comprising:
- a first row of moldable foam blocks positioned flush with a floor;
- and
- a second row of moldable foam blocks positioned on top of the first row of moldable foam blocks, a plurality of recesses on a bottom surface of each moldable foam block in the second row interlocking with a plurality of connective components on a top surface of each moldable foam block in the first row.
A method of selectively stacking polyurethane foam blocks to create a stationary structure at a construction site, comprising:
- positioning a first polyurethane foam block flush with a floor, the polyurethane foam block including a top surface with a plurality of connective components, a bottom surface with a plurality of recesses, a front surface, and a back surface;
- positioning a second polyurethane foam block flush with the floor, the second polyurethane foam block including a top surface with a plurality of connective components and a bottom surface with a plurality of recesses, a front surface, and a back surface;
- aligning the front surface of the first polyurethane foam block with the back surface of the second polyurethane foam block such that the first polyurethane foam block and the second polyurethane foam block are substantially linear;
- and
- positioning a third polyurethane foam block on top of the first polyurethane foam block and the second polyurethane block such that a plurality of recesses of the third polyurethane foam block interlock with a portion of the plurality of connective components of the first polyurethane foam block and a portion of the plurality of connective components of the second polyurethane foam block.
