Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
In an open-cell honeycomb web comprisng at least a pair of similar sheets having corrugations in the shape of major flat surfaces formed therein and displaced relative to each other whereby said major flat surfaces of each of said sheets abut each other, the combination wherein each of said major flat surfaces has a central portion thereof depressed to form matching sub-flat surfaces parallel to and connected to said major flat surfaces by walls substantially perpendicular to said flat surfaces, the undepressed portions of said major flat surfaces being joined together and said sub-flat surfaces being joined together whereby a series of I-beams are formed each said I-beam being disposed within one of said open cells comprising said honeycomb web.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
In an open-cell honeycomb web comprisng at least a pair of similar sheets having corrugations in the shape of major flat surfaces formed therein and displaced relative to each other whereby said major flat surfaces of each of said sheets abut each other, the combination wherein each of said major flat surfaces has a central portion thereof depressed to form matching sub-flat surfaces parallel to and connected to said major flat surfaces by walls substantially perpendicular to said flat surfaces, the undepressed portions of said major flat surfaces being joined together and said sub-flat surfaces being joined together whereby a series of I-beams are formed each said I-beam being disposed within one of said open cells comprising said honeycomb web.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
88 words
In a honeycomb web as defined in claim 1, the combination therewith of additional pairs of corrugated sheets, each said sheet having major flat surfaces lying in parallel planes and bonded to certain of said major flat surfaces of said first pair of corrugated sheets, slant walls connecting said major flat surfaces, each said major flat surface having its central portion depressed to form a sub-flat surface parallel and connected to said major flat surface by walls perpendicular to said major flat surface and to said sub-flat surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
In a honeycomb web as defined in claim 1, the combination therewith of a first planar sheet joined to the uppemost of said corrugated sheets and a second planar sheet joined to the lowermost of said corrugated sheets whereby stacked I-beams are formed between said planar sheets.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
In a honeycomb web as defined in claim 1, the combination wherein each said corrugated sheet comprises a planar sheet deformed in a pattern of truncated pyramids successively reversed in orientation and having central portions of the major surfaces thereof depressed to form sub-flats parallel to said major surfaces.
