Abstract
A method and apparatus for removably applying a sheet of insulative material to a surface includes several pieces of a first type of hook/loop material affixed to one side of the sheet of the insulative material by stitching and several heat barriers. Each of the heat barriers is affixed to the surface (e.g., by an adhesive, double-sided tape, fasteners) and each of heat barriers has a second type of the hook/loop material affixed to a planar surface that faces away from the surface such that when the first type of the hook/loop material interfaces with the second type of the hook/loop material, the sheet of insulative material is removably attached to cover at least a portion of the surface.
Claims20
A system for removably affixing a sheet of insulative material to a surface, the system comprising:
- a plurality of pieces of a first type of hook/loop material affixed to one side of the sheet of the insulative material;
- a plurality of heat barriers affixed to the surface, each of the plurality of heat barriers having a second type of the hook/loop material affixed to a planar surface that faces away from the surface;
- and
- whereas when the first type of the hook/loop material interfaces with the second type of the hook/loop material, the sheet of the insulative material is removably attached to cover at least a portion of the surface.
An apparatus for removably applying a sheet of insulative material to a surface, the apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of pieces of a first type of hook/loop material affixed to one side of the sheet of the insulative material by stitching;
- a plurality of heat barriers, each of the plurality of heat barriers is affixed to the surface and each of the plurality of heat barriers has a second type of the hook/loop material affixed to a planar surface that faces away from the surface;
- and
- whereas when the first type of the hook/loop material interfaces with the second type of the hook/loop material, the sheet of insulative material is removably attached to cover at least a portion of the surface.
A method of insulating a surface, the method comprising:
- stitching a plurality of sections of a first type of hook/loop material to a sheet of insulative material;
- installing a plurality of heat barriers on the surface, each of the plurality of heat barriers having a second type of the hook/loop material affixed to a planar surface that faces away from the surface;
- and
- removably affixing the sheet of the insulative material to the surface by aligning each of the first type of the hook/loop material with the second type of the hook/loop material and applying pressure on the sheet of the insulative material, thereby engaging hooks/loops of the first type of the hook/loop material with the hooks/loops of the second type of the hook/loop material, thereby removably holding the sheet of insulative material to the surface.
