Integrated Process For Making Inflatable Article

Номер: US20130255869A1
Автор: Bob O'dowd, Charles Kannankeril, Mike Metta
Принадлежит: Sealed Air Corp

An integrated process for making an inflatable laminated article comprises extruding a first film and a second film, followed by cooling the first film and the second film so that the films will not fuse to one another upon contact with each other. The films are then brought into contact with one another, and selected portions of one or both films are heated so that the films are heat sealed to one another in a selected area having a desired pattern. The unsealed area between the film provides inflatable chambers between the first film and the second film. An alternative process utilizes a film tubing in lay-flat configuration to produce a laminated inflatable article.

A method of manufacturing at least one flange by first rotating a tubular element and two sheet elements with respect to one another until a radially enlarged portion and adjacent hub section have been formed on the tubular element. The sheet element is impregnated by a thermosetting resin. When the resin has cured, the radially enlarged portion is cut along a cut line, thereby also dividing the tubular element in two parts and generating at least a first flange having a first flange section and a first hub section.
