Definitions
- the present invention relates to a substrate which is formed into a three dimensional article.
- Fiber reinforced composite structures enjoy the benefit of being lightweight while providing mechanical advantages such as strength.
- molded plastic, wood or metal structures are preferred due to the cost involved, since they are relatively easy to fabricate.
- articles, such as package or storing crates are prone to damage due to the rough handling involved or are limited in their stacking ability due to weight and strength considerations.
- fiber reinforced composite structures would be more desirable, the expense involved in making a somewhat complex three dimensional (3D) structure is a consideration.
- composite structures start off typically with a woven flat substrate of fibers.
- the substrate then has to be shaped into the form of the article which is then coated with a resin and thermoformed or cured in the desired shape.
- 3-D structures made out of fiber reinforcement it is also desirable to make 3-D structures out of 2-D sheet material which may be sheet metal, plastic, cloth, paper, cardboard, etc.
- the present invention is directed toward providing a specially designed sheet of material for a 3D structure. It starts off as a 2D structure that is then formed into a 3D structure, particularly one having deep draws. To provide for this, the sheet of material is formed in a manner that has areas which would gather and distort the edges of the 3D structure which is formed by folding the sheet. The edges of the remaining portions of the sheet which formed the boundary of the removed area can be left as is or can be seamed using methods such as welding, thermal bonding or adhesive bonding.
- Figure 1 illustrates the construction of a flat 2D sheet of material incorporating the teachings of the present invention.
- Figures 2A-2D illustrates the sequence of folding the sheet to produce deep draws.
- Figure 3 illustrates a 2D sheet having multiple areas removed to create a complex structure upon folding or drawing down.
- FIG 4 is a perspective view of a 3D structure formed from the sheet shown in Figure 3.
- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Turning now more particularly to the drawings, like parts will be similarly numbered.
- the sheet 10 may be made of sheet metal, plastic, cloth, paper, cardboard or any other material suitable for the purpose .
- the sheet 10 has been divided into regions or areas 12 through 28 divided along fold lines 30-36.
- the sheet material has either been removed or the sheet formed without it leaving an open space. Once the sheet 10 is constructed, it can then be formed into the desired shape .
- FIG. 2A shown in Figure 2A is the flat 2D sheet 10.
- the sheet 10 is then folded along fold lines 30 and 32.
- the sheet 10 is then folded along fold lines 34 and 36 which are perpendicular to the fold lines 30 and 32 as shown in Figure 2C.
- the edge or corner 38 so formed can be left as is or can be seamed by way of, for example, welding, thermal bonding, adhesive bonding or other means suitable for the purpose. Folding can be done automatically or by other means suitable for this purpose.
- Sheet 110 illustrates a plurality of regions 120 wherein the sheet material has been removed. With such a sheet 110, it may be folded and shaped into a complex structure 130 as shown in Figure 4. Of course other shapes can be created by varying the size and location of the regions where the material is removed.
