Patent ID: 7846537

Claim:
A laminar support that is deformation by impact of an object, the laminar support comprising: (a) A base, comprising various areas running transversely from a top of the laminar support to a bottom of the laminar support, the various areas including: an upper edge at the top of the laminar support, a central area, a lower edge at the bottom of the laminar support, wherein the upper and lower edges have lower deformation capabilities as compared to the central area, in order to produce a concave shape in the central area upon impact of the object into the laminar support, a first intermediary area, positioned between the upper edge and the center area, a second intermediary area, positioned between the central area and the lower edge, wherein the first intermediary area and second intermediary area have a higher deformation capability than the central area, wherein the base is a strip having length and a width, said width extending between the top and the bottom of the laminar support and said length being substantially greater than said width, wherein the first intermediary area and second intermediary area extend continuously along the length of the strip; (b) a covering that covers the base; and (c) an outer surface coating on the covering, wherein the outer surface coating provides the laminar support with characteristics of controlled friction that permit sliding of the object against the laminar support without adherence to the laminar support at or above 100° C.
