Abstract
A honeycomb panel includes multiple rows having parallel cells extending transversely of the rows and with the cells of adjacent rows of cells staggered longitudinally of the rows relative to each other. Panels with two, three, four and five cell rows are disclosed. The panels are formed by folded strips stacked one upon the other with each strip having portions thereof glued together. Adjacent strips in each stack of strips are glued together such that each strip forms at least one complete cell of one row of cells and at least three-quarters of an adjacent cell in an adjacent row of cells.
Claims8
A window covering comprising a plurality of honeycomb dual cell units in horizontal 8-figured configuration formed of a continuous length of foldable material, the units having terminal ends each folded onto respective opposing sides of the material, then stacked and adhered to each other vertically so as to form three columns of the cells side by side.
A window covering comprising a plurality of dual cell honeycomb structures, each dual cell honeycomb structure includes a continuous length of material having terminal ends each folded onto respective opposing sides of the material to form at least two cells in a symmetric relation, wherein the plurality of structures are adhered together to define other cells.
A dual-cell unit for use in a collapsible window covering comprising a continuous length of material having terminal ends that are connected to respective opposing sides of the material to define two cells, each cell including a crease defined by the material between the terminal ends such that when the window covering is collapsed, the crease protrudes from the cell.
