Multicompartment structure for insulation and other materials
A structure for encapsulating and protecting fiber insulation material as well as other materials in multicompartment devices in order to provide unitized material which can be applied to any surface desired for insulation or other purposes. A first sheet of material is formed with pockets or depressions in the sheet which are adapted for receiving the material desired to be unitized and a second sheet placed over the first sheet, and the two sheets are attached together in the areas between the pockets or depressions thus encapsulating the material in the pockets. The material is unitized by placing the material in individual sealed metal foil containers or compartments, then the individual containers of unitized material are attached in matrix form to a continuous sheet, such as positioning the containers in openings in the continuous sheet. The product can be applied to any surface desired for insulation or other purposes. Preferably a multilayer metal foil material is employed in the structures.
1. A multicompartment sheet of unitized material comprising:
a continuous sheet of metal foil having openings formed therein for receiving containers of material; and
metal foil containers formed of material comprising multilayer metal foil having sheets having a rolled or crimped edge portion and adapted for insertion in the openings in the continuous sheet of metal foil;
wherein the containers are supported in the openings in the continuous sheet by the edge portion and are secured to the continuous sheet.
2. A multicompartment sheet of unitized material according to claim 1 wherein the continuous sheet comprises multilayered metal foil sheets.
3. A multicompartment sheet of unitized material according to claim 2 wherein the multilayered metal foil sheets further comprise of an at least one top sheet and an at least one bottom sheet that are at least in part interlocked together by compressing nested corrugations of the at least one top sheet and at least one bottom sheet.
4. A multicompartment sheet of unitized material comprising:
a continuous sheet of metal foil having openings formed therein for receiving containers of material; and
metal foil containers having a rolled or crimped edge portion and adapted for insertion in the openings in the continuous sheet of metal foil;
wherein the containers are supported in the openings in the continuous sheet by the edge portion and are secured to the continuous sheet.
