Abstract:
A one piece molded plastic body simulative of a lattice of separate superposed members, the body comprising:a first plurality of continuous elongated members lying in a first plane, each of the members having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a pair of edges interconnecting the upper and lower surfaces;a second plurality of discontinuous elongated members intersecting and interconnecting the first plurality of members at a plurality of junction regions, each of the members in the second plurality lying in a second plane and having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a pair of edges interconnecting the upper and lower surfaces;wherein the upper surfaces of the members in the first plurality are transversely concave or the upper surfaces of the members in the second plurality are longitudinally convex, so that a discontinuity is created at the junction regions;whereby the body creates the illusion of a multi-piece lattice.
