Abstract

Przedmiotem zgłoszenia jest struktura piankowa, obejmująca: wiele paneli piankowych, z których każdy spośród wielu paneli piankowych jest uformowany z wielu cząstek pianki polimerowej, przy czym co najmniej dwa spośród wielu paneli piankowych są połączone żywym zawiasem wyznaczonym przez kanał pomiędzy co najmniej dwoma panelami piankowymi, tak że wiele paneli piankowych można złożyć wzdłuż żywego zawiasu. Zgłoszenie obejmuje także sposób wytwarzania ww. struktury piankowej.The subject of the application is a foam structure comprising: a plurality of foam panels, each of the plurality of foam panels being formed of a plurality of polymer foam particles, at least two of the plurality of foam panels being connected by a living hinge defined by a channel between at least two foam panels, so that multiple foam panels can be folded along a live hinge. The application also includes a method of producing the above-mentioned foam structure.
