20090042014 | Compressible molded component - A compressible molded component comprises a compressible cushion member integrally formed with an additional member. The compressible cushion member is comprised of a deformable material formed by an injection molding process. During the molding process, the deformable material is injected in molten form into a core component of a mold, the core component having an array of protrusions. The array of protrusions in the mold forms an array of voids in the compressible cushion member when the component is removed from the mold. The additional member may include a skin member and/or a structural member attached to the compressible cushion member. | 02-12-2009 |
