27. A structure comprising a plurality of the structures of claim 1.
Corrugated board is also prone to warping during manufacture, which is a prominent issue within the industry. Moreover, the mechanical function of corrugated board and the limitations of existing machinery (such as corrugators) allow for only a narrow range of board types. Another disadvantage of corrugated board is that its preparation requires the application of steam in order to form the curved flutes. The use of steam involves the consumption of water as well as the requirement to manage the waste water within the corrugator system. Drying of the “steamed” corrugated board is also required. Drying of the steamed medium paper occurs within the forming rolls that provide the flute profiles. These rolls are sometimes heated to approximately 700 F.° and in essence are pressing/ironing the fluted shape into the medium. As a result additional energy, time, and expense is incurred in the preparation of a product that is not very durable.
FIG. 6 shows a plan view of an unfolded tessellated medium 12, which when folded, forms the structure of FIGS. 1-5. As indicated, the medium 12 herein is folded, rather than curved. To accommodate same, creases or scores exist where the folding is to take place. The unfolded tessellated medium 12 preferably contains a repeating pattern of scores or creases that comprise the “fold lines” of the tessellated medium 12. In broad terms, the contour path for the tessellated medium is comprised of a sheet of material 19 having a plurality of first crease paths 59, 61 extending parallel to each other and a plurality of second crease paths 60, 68 extending parallel to each other and intersecting the first crease paths 59, 61. Each first crease path 59, 61 is formed from a plurality of first path segments 63. Each second crease path 60, 68 is formed from a repeating pattern of first and second chevron legs 50, 52 and a straight line or leg 56 extending from a free end 65 of one of the first and second chevron legs 50, 52. The two legs or lines of the chevron are equal in length and typically angled 120°. The straight line extends from either line end. The third line may be of any length. Each second crease path 60 is foldable in an opposite direction from the adjacent second crease path 68. This results in the formation of an alternating pattern of ridges or peaks 30 and valleys 46 as the sheet of material 19 is folded. Each of the first crease paths 59, 61 are straight lines extending between the ridges 30 and valleys 46 of adjacent second crease paths 60, 68 to form a pattern of facets 80, 82, 84 on the first surface 49 of the sheet of material 19. The sheet of material 19 is foldable along the first and second crease paths 59, 61, 60, 68 to form a three dimensional support structure 10. The three dimensional support structure 10 extends in a plane, partially shown in dotted lines in FIG. 5 and identified therein by letters A′-A″, characterized by a repeating pattern of normal walls, or end walls 22, 24, formed by the facets 80, 82 between the chevron 50, 52 and inclined walls 26, 28 formed by the facets 84 between the straight lines or third legs 56. The normal walls 22, 24 extend perpendicular to the plane A′-A″. The inclined walls 26, 28 are inclined relative to the plane A′-A″.
Referring to FIGS. 6-9, in a preferred embodiment, the material 12 comprises a first leg 50 and a second leg 52 forming the first chevron. The first leg 50 and second leg 52 are preferably of equivalent length. A first angle 54 exists between the first leg 50 and the second leg 52. The angle 54 preferably comprises an angle of 120°. A third leg 56 extends from the second leg 52, and as shown in the Figures is of a greater length than the first and second legs, but may be of any length to accommodate manufacturing preferences. The third leg 56 extends from the second leg 52 at a second angle 58 of 150°. The series of first 50, second 52, and third 56 legs comprises the structure that forms a repeating pattern of the medium 12 described above.
The third leg 56 of the first pattern 60 a of the second crease path 60 is connected to the first leg 50 of the adjacent or second pattern 62 of the second crease path 60 along the y-axis, the third leg 56 of the second pattern 62 is connected to the first leg 50 of the adjacent or third pattern 64 of the second crease path 60 along the y-axis, and so forth. A third angle 66, which is between the third leg 56 of the first pattern 60 a and the first leg 50 of the adjacent or second pattern 62, comprises an angle of 150° opposite the second angle 58.
Connecting the repeating adjacent pattern of the second crease path 60 to a parallel repeating pattern of the second crease path 68 in the x-axis is a plurality of additional legs. Namely, a fourth leg 70 extends at a fourth angle 72 of 60° from the first leg 50 to connect the first leg 50 of the first pattern 60 a of the second crease path 60 with a corresponding first leg 50 of an adjacent parallel pattern 60 a of the second crease path 68 in the x-axis. A fifth leg 74 extends from the apex of the second angle 54 on the first pattern 60 a of the second crease path 60 to the apex of the second angle 54 of the adjacent parallel pattern 60 a of the second crease path 68 in the x-axis. A sixth leg 76 extends at a fifth angle 78 of 90° from the third leg 56 on the first pattern 60 a of the second crease path 60 to the corresponding point on the third leg 56 of the adjacent parallel pattern 60 a of the second crease path 68 in the x-axis. As with the foregoing, this combination forms a repeating pattern.
In addition to the varying fold orientations, as the medium 12 is folded, the first angle 54 narrows, resulting in slopes or facets 80, 82 of increasing steepness. The fold may be continued until the first angle 54 reaches approximately 0° (the angle being limited by the width of the material used). Upon reaching this approximately 0° angle, the faces of the first 80 and second 82 facets formed between a first repeating pattern 60 a of the second crease path 60 and first repeating pattern 60 a of the second crease path 68 are in substantial contact with one another (see FIG. 9). At the same time, the first 80 and second 82 facets formed between the parallel pattern 60 a of the second crease path 68 and parallel pattern 60 a of an additional crease path, identified by 92, in the x-axis fold to face away from one another. The first 80 and second 82 facets of immediately parallel repeating patterns in the x-axis form the four-ply wall structure 32 described herein. Namely, the first facet 80 between first parallel patterns 60 a of crease paths 60 and 68 and the first facet 80 between first parallel patterns 60 a of crease path 68 and crease path 92 form a first two-ply wall segment 42, while the second facet 82 between first parallel patterns 60 a of crease paths 60 and 68 and the second facet 82 between first parallel patterns 60 a of crease paths 68 and 92 form a second two-ply wall segment 42. The first two-ply wall segment 42 is formed by a peak fold 88 of the medium 12 at the first leg 50. The second two-ply wall segment 42 is formed by a peak fold 88 of the medium 12 at the second leg 52. The combination of the first two-ply wall segment 42 and the second two-ply wall segment 42, in the folded state with the first angle 54 at approximately 0° forms the four-ply wall segment 40.
As alluded to above, during folding of the medium 12, the angles between facets on the crease paths 60, 68 of parallel repeating patterns 60 a, in the x-axis also change. Namely, as the material is folded, the angle increases or decreases in degrees at the first leg 50, the second leg 52, and the third leg 56. Referring to FIG. 7, the angle 94 defined at the first leg 50 by the first facets 80 of the parallel patterns 60 a in the x-axis (as well as the angle 96 defined at the second leg 52 by the second facets 82 of parallel patterns 60 a) changes from 180° (in the medium's completely unfolded state (FIG. 6)) to nearly 0° (in the completely folded state of the structure (FIG. 4)). The angle 94, 96 in the folded state is limited only by the width of the medium 12. The angle 98 defined at the third leg 56 by the third facets 84 of the parallel patterns 60 a changes from 180° (in a completely unfolded state) to an angle of approximately 60°. Based upon the alternation between the valley 90 and peak folds 88, this angle 98, likewise, alternates in orientation, resulting in a series of peaks 30 and valleys 46. These peaks 30 and valleys 46 are positioned between parallel four-ply wall structures 32.
The three-dimensional support structure of a preferred embodiment comprises a medium 12 that is formed with a combination of folds rather than being shaped into flutes as, for example, is common with corrugated board. Furthermore, the medium 12 or material of the preferred embodiment comprises a tessellated medium 12 having an architecture that allows the weights of liners 14 and medium 12 or material to be reduced while achieving the same, or better performance, than comparably rated products. In addition, a weight reduction further results from a decrease in the volume of material used to prepare a structure, such as a package, or similar product, using the structure of the embodiments disclosed. For example, due to the unique architecture of the three-dimensional support structure, applications involving a metal medium 12, can be used to form a strong, rigid support structure even with extreme material thicknesses, such as a minimal thickness between 0.125-0.25 inch, which greatly reduces weight and material costs, and is a significant advantage over currently available products. The architecture of the multi-planar structure, as shown in FIGS. 4 & 5, created by the folding of the material or medium 12 allows the height of the folded structure 10, and thus the thickness, to be varied to a dimension greater than that available in current products, such as corrugated board, without loss of structural stability. The structure 10, can be formed of any height, for example up to 1.5 inches, with a single sheet while retaining the same structural stability. The height is varied by altering the dimensions of the score lines. Preferably, a thickness of up to 1.5 inches for specialty applications, such as pallets can be created from a single sheet of material. In comparison, corrugated board in a single wall format cannot exceed ¼ inch in height as it becomes structurally unstable. Furthermore, corrugated board's maximum height of 0.5 inch can only be achieved with a triple-wall configuration.
