Portions ofsecond substrate 5 are stretched over theresilient elements 3, andtop surface 3T andside surface 3S of theresilient elements 3 are surrounded, or encapsulated, by first encapsulatingcover 6 and first encapsulatingcover sidewalls 6S of thesecond substrate 5. This can also be seen in the exploded view of the firstcomposite cushioning material 1, shown inFIG. 2 . The areas of thesecond substrate 5 between theresilient elements 3 make contact withfirst substrate 4, and are bonded along the joiningsurface 8, as shown inFIG. 3 . - While
FIGS. 1-3 depict a composite cushioning material with a plurality of resilient elements, it is understood that the composite cushioning material may optionally incorporate a single resilient element of suitable size and shape. - a. COMPOSITION OF THE RESILIENT ELEMENTS AND SUBSTRATES
- In one aspect of the invention, the composition of the
resilient element 3 may optionally comprise, include, or incorporate, without limitation, any suitable resilient material, such as a foam or other elastomer, including, without limitations, ethylene vinyl acetate (“EVA”) foam, olefin or polyolefin foam, polyurethane (“PU”) foam, urethane based foam, thermoplastic foam, neoprene, silicone, rubber, or any other material (including a combination of such materials) with suitable cushioning characteristics. - By way of example only, different resilient materials may be combined by bonding sheets of different materials to each other in vertical layers, or by bonding or sewing swatches of different materials.
- The
resilient elements 3 may have any suitable shape and/or size. WhileFIGS. 1-3 andFIGS. 4-6 depict resilient elements that are cylindrical or drum-shaped, it is understood that the resilient elements may have any suitable shape or size. - In another aspect of the invention, the composition of the substrate elements or sheeting structures may optionally comprise, include, or incorporate, without limitation, any suitable sheeting material, such as synthetic or natural fabric, spandex or elastane, mesh, natural or synthetic leather, thermoplastic polyurethane (“TPU”) sheeting, or any other sheeting material (including a combination of such materials) with suitable elasticity and resistance to puncture or abrasion, or other desirable characteristics, provided that the sheeting material is capable of being loosely or tightly stretched over the resilient elements and thereby “encapsulate” them. By way of example only, sheets of different materials may be combined by bonding them to each other in vertical layers, or by bonding or sewing swatches made of different types of materials.
- b. BONDING ELEMENTS JOINING THE MATERIAL LAYERS IN THE FIRST COMPOSITE CUSHIONING MATERIAL
- In one aspect of the invention, the two substrates (for example,
first substrate 4 and second substrate 5) may be bonded to each other along joiningsurface 8 by means of any compound, adhesive, glue, substance, attachment, or device (such as Velcro, or interlocking mechanical means, or double sided adhesive tape, and the like) that permits one substrate to adhere to another substrate. - In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the two substrates are optionally bonded to each other using hot-melt adhesive (“HMA”) film activated by heat, or by heat and mechanical pressure.
- In another aspect of the invention, the resilient elements (such as resilient element 3) may optionally be bonded to one or more substrate elements (such as
first substrate 4 and/or second substrate 5). The bonding may occur by joining any one or more sides of the resilient element to a substrate. By way of example only, a joining element (such as glue or HMA film 9 depicted inFIGS. 1B and 2 ) may optionally be applied tofirst substrate 4, and cause thebottom surface 3B of theresilient elements 3 to bond to thetop surface 4T of thefirst substrate 4, and cause thebottom surface 5B of thesecond substrate 5 to bond to thetop surface 4T of thefirst substrate 4 along thejoining surface 8. - Alternatively, and optionally, a joining element such as glue or HMA film 9 may be applied to the
top surface 3T of theresilient elements 3, and/or thebottom surface 5B of thesecond substrate 5, causing the said elements to bond to each other. Also optionally, a joining element may be applied to theside walls 3S of theresilient elements 3, causing them to bond to the inner surface of the first encapsulatingcover sidewalls 6S. - In yet another aspect of the invention, the
resilient elements 3 are optionally not bonded to any substrate, and are encapsulated and held in place by thefirst encapsulating covers 6 of thesecond substrate 5, which surround and encapsulate the resilient elements within thevoid space 7 defined by loosely or tightly stretching thesecond substrate 5 around theresilient elements 3, and by bonding the edges around thevoid space 7 to thetop surface 4T of thefirst substrate 4. - 2.
