  • Patent number: 7690149
    Abstract: The embodiments of Fan Fold Support employ a foam sheet with folds and apertures formed by the foam sheet. The apertures are formed by the foam sheet at alternating folds so that every other fold has an aperture. The final end shape is formed by folding in an accordion-like manner the folds and secured with a compression band. When folded the foam sheet folds are oriented at the top of the folded structure and the apertures are located at the bottom of the folded structure. The sheet may be of various geometry so as to accommodate a variety of final folded end shapes such as a block form, an oval shape, a square, a cylindrical, a cone, a cubic, hexagon, a pentagon, and other multi-sided structures. Objects to be supported are then placed between the folds formed by the foam sheet in the Fan Fold Support.
