Contoured Fluid-Filled Chamber With Tensile Structures

摘要

A fluid-filled chamber, which may be incorporated into articles of footwear and other products, may include an outer barrier, a first tensile structure, and a second tensile structure. Any of the first and second tensile structures may include one or more textile tensile members. The first and second tensile structures may be located within an interior void defined by the outer barrier and may be bonded to the outer barrier. The first and second tensile structures may be bonded to the outer barrier in different areas of the outer barrier that are in fluid communication with each other. The first tensile structure may have a height greater than a height of the second tensile structure. In turn, the relative locations and differences of height between the tensile structures may impart a contour to the chamber.

1. A fluid-filled chamber comprising:
an outer barrier defining an interior void, the outer barrier having a first area and a second area, the first area and second area being in fluid communication; a first tensile structure located within the interior void and bonded to the outer barrier in the first area, the first tensile structure having a first height; and a second tensile structure located within the interior void and bonded to the outer barrier in the second area, the second tensile structure having a second height,wherein the first height is greater than the second height.
