Abstract
A flexible shock absorbing component providing cushioning for surfaces, especially wall and floor surfaces, is described. The shock absorbing component includes two sheets of thermoplastic, each sheet with inwardly facing, opposing, resiliently compressible indentations extending into a cavity between the two sheets. The shock absorbing component also includes a layer of particulate matter applied to and adhered to the outer surface of one of the sheets, to provide wear and weather resistance. A moderator may also be attached to the outer surface of the sheet.
Claims14
A cushioning structure comprising a pair of thermoplastic sheets spaced from each other to form a cavity therebetween, each sheet having a plurality of inwardly facing, opposing, resiliently compressible indentations extending into the cavity, and a layer of particulate material applied to and adhered to the outer surface of one of the sheets.
A cushioning structure comprising a pair of thermoplastic sheets spaced from each other to form a cavity therebetween, each sheet having a plurality of inwardly facing, opposing, resiliently compressible indentations extending into the cavity, and a third sheet applied and adhered to the outer surface of one of the sheets wherein the third sheet has plurality of protusions integral therewith, the protrusions fitting into the indations of the sheet to which the third sheet is applied.
A cushioning structure comprising a plurality of symmetrical tiles, each tile having a pair of thermoplastic sheets, spaced from each other to form a cavity therebetween, each thermoplastic sheet having inwardly facing, opposing, resiliently compressible indentations extending into the cavity, each tile having an outer periphery with locking members for interlocking with each adjacent tile.
