Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
THE METHOD OF PRODUCING AN INFLATABLE STRUCTURE FROM THREE OR MORE LAYERS OF PLASTIC SHEETS, WHICH COMPRISES INTERMITTENTLY APPLYING LOCAL SEALING PRESSURE TO A STACK OF THE SHEETS AT A NUMBER OF MUTUALLY SPACED POINTS, ADVANCING THE STACK IN THE INTERMEDIATE INTERVALS RELATIVE TO THE POINTS OF PRESSURE APPLICATION SO AS TO INCREMENTALLY DISTRIBUTE A MULTITUDE OF SPOT SEALS OVER THE DESIRED STACK AREA, AND ALTERNATELY PLACING FOIL-SEPARATING INSERTS AT THE PRESSURE POINTS TEMPORARILY BETWEEN ONE GROUP OF MUTUALLY ADJACENT SHEETS DURING ONE PRESSING OPERATION AND TEMPORARILY BETWEEN ANOTHER GROUP OF ADJACENT SHEETS DURING THE NEXT PRESSING OPERATION WHEREBY DIFFERENT GROUPS OF SHEETS ARE SEALED TOGETHER AT DIFFERENT SUCCESSIVE SPOTS RESPECTIVELY.
