Partition assembly made with partitions having rounded edges, stiffening members and method of making same

摘要

A partition assembly comprising a partition matrix made up of intersecting first and second slotted partitions, each of the partitions having at least one slot and a rounded edge. The slots of the partitions are engaged with each other at a plurality of intersections. The partitions are made by rounding an edge of a multi-layered blank using a rotatable tool and then cutting the partition material to a desired size. Slots may then be formed in the edge sealed material.

1. A method of making a slotted partition comprising:
providing a multiple layered partition blank comprising a foam substrate having opposed first and second surfaces, a first stiffening layer secured to the first surface of the foam substrate and a second stiffening layer secured to the second surface of the foam substrate, the multiple layered partition blank further comprising a first and a second outer fabric layer secured to the first and second stiffening layers, respectively; heating the foam substrate; bringing together edges of the first and second outer fabric layers over an edge of the foam substrate to create a rounded edge of the partition; and slotting the partition.
