  • Reinforced elastomer panel
    Patent number: 6375122
    Abstract: A reinforced elastomer panel (100) has a first rigid member (104) with an edge (116) attached to a first end of an elastomer panel (114). The first rigid member (104) has a removable plate (106) that provides access to a cavity (108). Attached to the first rigid member (104) is a reinforcing member (102) that extends through the elastomer panel (114). A second ridge member (118) has an edge attached to a second end of the elastomer panel (114).
