  • Patent number: 10197125
    Abstract: An interdigitated cellular cushioning system includes an array of void cells protruding from each of two sheet layers interdigitated between the two sheet layers. Peaks of each of the void cells are attached to the opposite sheet layer forming the interdigitated cellular cushioning system. The interdigitated cellular cushioning system may be used to absorb and distribute a source of kinetic energy incident on the interdigitated cellular cushioning system (e.g., an impact or explosion) so that the amount of force transmitted through the interdigitated cellular cushioning system is low enough that it does not cause injury to personnel or damage to personnel and/or equipment adjacent the interdigitated cellular cushioning system.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: February 5, 2019
    Assignee: Skydex Technologies, Inc.

  • Patent number: 9603407
    Abstract: An interdigitated cellular cushioning system includes an array of void cells protruding from each of two binding layers interdigitated between the two binding layers. Peaks of each of the void cells are attached to the opposite binding layer forming the interdigitated cellular cushioning system. The interdigitated cellular cushioning system may be used to absorb and distribute a source of kinetic energy incident on the interdigitated cellular cushioning system (e.g., an impact or explosion) so that the amount of force transmitted through the interdigitated cellular cushioning system is low enough that it does not cause injury to personnel or damage to personnel and/or equipment adjacent the interdigitated cellular cushioning system.

  • Publication number: 20060177635
    Abstract: A two-layer structural material of sandwich design is disclosed which comprises opposed, generally planar sheets having interlocking protrusions. The material may be formed of plastic resin, metal, paper, paperboard, or composite material and has increased rigidity over single sheet material without the complexity of 3-layer materials such as corrugated board and honeycomb-cored structures.
