Abstract
By providing a plurality of elongated, independent members and securely integrally affixing said members to each other by adhering or welding, a unique panel and/or block construction is attained having any desired size or shape needed for a particular application. Preferably, the independent, elongated members comprise a synthetic resin foam material formed in any desired cross-sectional shape. In one embodiment, the solid elongated, independent members are alternatingly affixed to hollow, elongated independent members in order to attain a panel and/or block having different resiliency and flexibility characteristics. This invention also incorporates a unique method for manufacturing the panels and/or blocks in a single, continuous process whereby all of the elongated members forming the panel and/or block are simultaneously welded together.
