Abstract
Abstract A method of making a resilient storage insert for holding fragile compone comprising the steps of first vacuum forming a sheet of flexible acrylonitrile butadiene styrene in a male die and then placing said vacuum-formed sheet in a female die, then filling the underside of said vacuum-formed sheet with polyurethane foam material and then curing said polyurethane foam material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A method for making a resilient storage insert comprising, die forming a sheet of rigid plastic material into a rigid container and then using the same die to form a sheet of flexible plastic material into a shape similar to said rigid container, then positioning said sheet of flexible plastic material into said rigid container to provide a container of flexible plastic material, then filling said container of flexible plastic material with a liquid foam material and curing said liquid foam material into a solid material which is the underside of a resilient storage insert, and then removing said resilient storage insert from said rigid container.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
106 words
A method for making a resilient storage insert comprising, die forming a sheet of rigid plastic material into a rigid container and then using the same die to form a sheet of flexible plastic material into a shape similar to said rigid container, then positioning said sheet of flexible plastic material into said rigid container to provide a container of flexible plastic material, then filling said container of flexible plastic material with a liquid foam material and curing said liquid foam material into a solid material which is the underside of a resilient storage insert, and then removing said resilient storage insert from said rigid container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method for making a resilient storage insert as set forth in claim 1 wherein said sheet of rigid plastic material is rigid acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and is heated to a temperature between 280° and 300° F. prior to forming.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method for making a resilient storage insert as set forth in claim 1 wherein said sheet of flexible plastic material is flexible acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and is heated to a temperature between 280° and 300° F. prior to forming.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
63 words
A method for making a resilient storage insert as set forth in claim 1 wherein said sheet of rigid plastic material is rigid acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and is heated to a temperature between 280° and 300° F. prior to forming and said sheet of flexible plastic material is flexible acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and is heated to a temperature between 280° and 300° F.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A method for making a resilient storage insert as set forth in claim 1 wherein said liquid foam material is a two-component polyurethane foam-in-place system.
