Abstract

A vacuum pad may include a first layer, a top layer that at least partially forms a top surface of the vacuum pad, a plurality of holes extending through the top layer into an interior space located between at least a portion of the first layer and at least a portion of the top layer, an outlet tube in fluid communication with the interior space, a raised barrier that surrounds the plurality of holes, a plurality of dividers located in the interior space that extend along the first layer from a first end of the respective divider located adjacent to the outlet tube, and at least one spacer located in the interior space that has a different shape than the plurality of dividers. The vacuum pad may include at least one channel and at least one collection area located in the interior space.

Claims21

Dependent claims

A vacuum pad, comprising:

a first layer;
a top layer at least partially forming a top surface of the vacuum pad, the top layer having a plurality of holes extending through the top layer into an interior space located between at least a portion of the top layer and at least a portion of the first layer;
an outlet tube in fluid communication with the interior space;
a raised barrier, the raised barrier surrounding the plurality of holes;
a plurality of dividers located in the interior space, each of the plurality of dividers extending along the first layer from a first end of the respective divider located adjacent to the outlet tube;
at least one spacer located in the interior space, the at least one spacer having a different shape than the plurality of dividers;
a center channel located in the interior space, the center channel extending between a first divider of the plurality of dividers and a second divider of the plurality of dividers and towards the outlet tube;
a center collection area located in the interior space about a center of the vacuum pad and between the first divider and the second divider, the center collection area extending from the center channel in a direction away from the outlet tube, the center collection area having a maximum width greater than a maximum width of the center channel;
at least one outer channel located in the interior space, the at least one outer channel extending between another divider of the plurality of dividers and the raised barrier and towards the outlet tube, the other divider being located between the first divider or the second divider and the raised barrier;
and
at least one outer collection area located in the interior space between the other divider and the raised barrier, the at least one outer collection area extending from an outer channel of the at least one outer channel in a direction away from the outlet tube and having a maximum width greater than a maximum width of the at least one outer channel.

an outlet tube in fluid communication with the interior space;
a raised barrier, the raised barrier surrounding the plurality of holes;
one or more dividers located in the interior space, the one or more dividers extending along the first layer from a first end of the one or more dividers located adjacent to the outlet tube;
at least one channel located in the interior space, the at least one channel being at least partially formed by at least one of the one or more dividers;
and
at least one collection area located in the interior space, the at least one collection area extending from a channel of the at least one channel and being at least partially formed by the at least one of the one or more dividers that at least partially forms the channel of the at least one channel,
wherein the at least one collection area has a greater maximum width than a maximum width of the channel of the at least one channel.
