Abstract
A packing element comprising a peripheral sidewall defining an interior space having a central, longitudinal axis; a plurality of holes in the sidewall each having at least two sides, slanted relative to the axis; and a flap extending from at least one of the slanted sides of each of the holes inwardly into the space.
Claims21
A packing element comprising a peripheral sidewall defining an interior space having a central, longitudinal axis;
- a plurality of holes in said sidewall each having at least four sides, two opposing sides of each of said holes being slanted at substantially the same angle relative to said axis;
- and a flap extending from each of said top opposing sides into said interior space substantially toward the same point, the sides of each of said flaps extending into said interior space being substantially straight.
A packing element comprising a peripheral sidewall defining an interior space having a central, longitudinal axis, said sidewall including a plurality of angularly displaced side segments each of which is substantially parallel to said axis and said sidewall is substantially regular hexagonal in cross-section;
- a plurality of holes in said sidewall each having at least four sides, two opposing sides of each of said holes being slanted at substantially the same angle relative to said axis;
- and a flap extending from each of said two opposing sides into said interior space, the sides of each of said flaps extending into said interior space being substantially straight.
A packing element comprising a peripheral sidewall defining an interior space having a central, longitudinal axis;
- a plurality of holes in said sidewall each having at least four sides, two opposing sides of each of said holes being slanted at substantially the same angle relative to said axis;
- and a flap extending from each of said two opposing sides into said interior space, the sides of each of said flaps extending into said interior space being substantially straight, and;
- at least one projection means including an outwardly extending portion of said sidewall at least partially defining an elongated hole in said sidewall substantially parallel to and spaced apart from one of said slanted sides, said projection means being adapted to restrict said sidewall from contacting a solid object located in proximity thereto.
