Claims12
Fireproof ceramic impact pad with the following features in its functional position:
- 1.1 a bottom (10) with a lower base area (10g) and an upper impact surface (10p),
- 1.2 a wall consisting of multiple segments (20a-d), which extends from the bottom (10) up to a free end (20k), wherein the wall (20) with its inside (20i) and the impact area (10p) together border a space (30), which is open at its end opposite the bottom (10),
- 1.3 at least one segment (20a) of the wall (20) features at least one opening (40), which runs from the inside (20i) of the wall continuously to the outside (20s) of the wall (20) and which is bordered by opposite flanks (40f),
- 1.4 the opening (40) features the following cross-sectional profile:
- 1.4.1 regarding the perimeter direction of the wall (20) the opening (40) has its largest width (Bg) adjacent to the free end (20k),
- 1.4.2 regarding the perimeter direction of the wall (20) the opening (40) has its smallest width (Bk) adjacent an end of the opening that is closest to the bottom (10),
- 1.4.3 the largest width (Bg) of the opening (40) is more than 5% of the total perimeter of the wall (20) of the impact pad,
- 1.4.4 in a longitudinal direction, from the upper free end (20k) of the wall (20) vertically downwards toward the bottom, the opening (40) extends in a profile with more than 70% of its cross-section in an upper half of the opening, adjacent to the free end (20k) of the wall (20).
