CELL-INSIDE-A-CELL HONEYCOMB MATERIAL

摘要

A honeycomb insulating panel is described wherein each cell of the panel has mul tiple layers of material formed by embedding tubular cells. In this manner, a retracta ble cover for an architectural opening may be formed that has superior insulating or light blo cking capabilities in a volume comparable to a honeycomb panel made of tubular cells h aving a single layer of material. The resultant panel is formed by attaching a plurality of embedded tubular cell units, wherein each embedded tubular cell unit comprises at least o ne side having multiple layers of material.
