Abstract: A method for producing sucker elements consisting in thermoforming a layer of plastic material by means of two mold parts, which form at least one impression that has a frustum-like peripheral shape, the mold parts forming means for blanking the peripheral rim of each thermoformed element with a substantially flat central shape surrounded by a frustum-shaped portion.

Abstract: An air inflatable support element includes: (a) two identical circular outer sections, one being an upper outer section and the other being a lower outer section; and (b) two or more circular middle sections, each middle section being affixed at its periphery to the adjacent middle section, each middle section being identical to the other middle sections, each middle section being affixed to an outer section; wherein the outer sections are parallel, but not affixed, to one another; the outer and middle sections each include an identically sized central aperture, the central aperture extending through the center of the support element; and the support element includes a flexible, nonmetallic material. Also included is an air support surface containing the support elements.
