DIE CUT INSULATION BLANKET AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME.

摘要

A blanket (10) is provided including a first panel (12) of material having a honeycombed portion (14) that is expanded to form a second, projecting panel (16) from the first panel material. The invention also includes a method of reducing the material needed to construct a multipanel structure. The method includes the steps of providing a first panel of material; honeycombing a portion of that first panel and expanding the honeycombed portion of the first panel to form a second panel projecting from the first panel. Advantageously, the second panel is formed from material of the first panel and no additional material is required.
