Patent ID: 8062456

Claim:
A method for producing a buffer pad, comprising the following steps: (1) preparing a flexible and resilient plate, the plate being cut to form a mesh and a plurality of blocks, the mesh having a plurality of mesh holes, the blocks having a shape corresponding to the mesh holes, and the blocks being engaged with the mesh holes respectively, each block having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; (2) releasably attaching the cut plate to a sticky surface of a substrate, whereby the first surfaces of the blocks are temporarily attached to the substrate; (3) separating the mesh from the substrate, and the blocks disengaging from the mesh holes and being left on the substrate; (4) coating the second surfaces of the blocks with adhesive; (5) preparing a film with two attaching surfaces, one of the attaching surfaces being attached to the second surfaces of the blocks; (6) separating the blocks from the sticky surface of the substrate; wherein the substrate is retrieved by a retriever, the substrate is circularly disposed around a platform, whereby the substrate is repeatedly used in steps (2) to (6), and the method for producing buffer pad is a continuous process.
