用於遮蓋物之蜂窩式嵌板的內部蜂窩孔襯裡For inner honeycomb hole lining of honeycomb panels for coverings

相關申請案之交叉參考Cross-reference to related applications

本申請案係基於在2022年9月14日申請之美國臨時專利申請案第63/406,469號且主張該美國臨時專利申請案之優先權,該專利申請案之揭示內容出於所有目的特此以全文引用方式併入中。This application is based upon and claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/406,469 filed on September 14, 2022, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.

本揭示內容大體上係關於用於建築結構之遮蓋物,且更具體地,係關於一種具有內部蜂窩孔襯裡之蜂窩式嵌板及相關的蜂窩式遮蓋物。The present disclosure relates generally to coverings for building structures and, more particularly, to a honeycomb panel having an internal honeycomb hole lining and an associated honeycomb covering.

用於建築結構之蜂窩式遮蓋物通常包括頂軌、底軌及在頂軌與底軌之間延伸的蜂窩式覆層或嵌板。蜂窩式嵌板通常包括複數個垂直對準之蜂窩孔,其中各種蜂窩孔一個在另一個上方堆疊或耦接以形成嵌板。舉例而言,每一蜂窩孔之蜂窩式結構通常由一或多條材料形成,其中形成一個蜂窩孔之材料條帶黏附至形成相鄰蜂窩孔(例如,相鄰的上部及下部蜂窩孔)之材料條帶。A cellular covering for a building structure generally includes a top rail, a bottom rail, and a cellular covering or panel extending between the top rail and the bottom rail. The cellular panel generally includes a plurality of vertically aligned honeycomb cells, wherein various honeycomb cells are stacked or coupled one on top of another to form the panel. For example, the cellular structure of each honeycomb cell is generally formed from one or more strips of material, wherein a strip of material forming one honeycomb cell is adhered to strips of material forming adjacent honeycomb cells (e.g., adjacent upper and lower honeycomb cells).

在蜂窩式嵌板之製造期間中,黏合劑珠或線通常塗覆在界定於相鄰蜂窩孔之間的界面或接頭處以將蜂窩孔耦接在一起,其中各個蜂窩孔在閉合或壓縮狀態下一個在另一個上方連續堆疊。視用於形成蜂窩孔之材料的類型而定,黏合劑可透過蜂窩孔材料滲出且進入蜂窩孔內部,此反過來可導致蜂窩孔之內表面在閉合或壓縮狀態下黏附在一起。此產生具有一或多個蜂窩孔之蜂窩式嵌板,蜂窩孔在嵌板移動至其伸展狀態時無法正確打開。During the manufacture of honeycomb panels, a bead or line of adhesive is typically applied at the interfaces or joints defined between adjacent honeycomb cells to couple the honeycomb cells together, wherein the individual honeycomb cells are stacked one on top of the other in a closed or compressed state. Depending on the type of material used to form the honeycomb cells, the adhesive may seep through the honeycomb cell material and enter the interior of the honeycomb cells, which in turn may cause the interior surfaces of the honeycomb cells to adhere together in the closed or compressed state. This results in a honeycomb panel having one or more honeycomb cells that do not open properly when the panel is moved to its extended state.

因此,可以防止或至少幫助解決與製造蜂窩式嵌板相關聯之問題中之一或多者的用於蜂窩式遮蓋物之內部蜂窩孔襯裡在本技術中會受到歡迎。Therefore, an internal honeycomb hole liner for a honeycomb covering that can prevent or at least help solve one or more of the problems associated with manufacturing honeycomb panels would be welcome in the art.

參考以下實施方式及所附申請專利範圍,將更好地理解本揭示內容之此等及其他特徵、態樣及優點。併入本說明書中且構成本說明書之一部分的附圖圖示本揭示內容之實施例,且與實施方式一起用於解釋本揭示內容之原理。These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present disclosure will be better understood by referring to the following embodiments and the attached claims. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in this specification and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the present disclosure and are used together with the embodiments to explain the principles of the present disclosure.

提供本發明內容以用簡化形式介紹對在下文中在實施方式中進一步描述之概念的選擇。本發明內容不欲識別所主張標的之關鍵特徵或基本特徵,亦不欲幫助判定所主張標的之範疇。This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the implementation mode. This summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to help determine the scope of the claimed subject matter.

一般而言,本標的係關於一種用於諸如窗或門之建築特徵或結構(為了方便起見而非用於限制,在本文中簡稱為建築「結構」)的蜂窩式遮蓋物,該遮蓋物包括安裝在該遮蓋物之蜂窩式覆層或嵌板之蜂窩孔內的內部蜂窩孔襯裡。具體地,在若干實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡可在該蜂窩孔耦接至一相鄰蜂窩孔所在的位置處或附近安裝在一各別蜂窩孔之內部內。In general, the present subject matter relates to a cellular covering for an architectural feature or structure such as a window or door (referred to herein as an architectural "structure" for convenience and not limitation), the covering including an interior cell liner mounted within the cells of a cellular cladding or panel of the covering. Specifically, in some embodiments, each cell liner may be mounted within the interior of a respective cell at or near the location where the cell is coupled to an adjacent cell.

如下文將描述的,每一蜂窩孔襯裡可經組態以至少部分地用作護罩或分隔物,以防止每一蜂窩孔之部分之相對末端在用於將相鄰蜂窩孔耦接在一起之黏合劑固化或乾燥之前黏連在一起。就此而言,每一襯裡之一側可用脫模劑進行處理或塗佈,該脫模劑用於防止蜂窩孔之部分黏連襯裡。結果,當蜂窩式嵌板壓縮且給定蜂窩孔之相對末端或部分擠壓或以其他方式接觸相關聯襯裡時,儘管任何黏合劑可能已經透過蜂窩孔材料滲出至蜂窩孔內部中,但脫模劑可防止蜂窩孔之此部分黏連至襯裡。As will be described below, each cell liner can be configured to at least partially serve as a shield or spacer to prevent opposing ends of a portion of each cell from adhering together before an adhesive used to couple adjacent cells together cures or dries. In this regard, one side of each liner can be treated or coated with a release agent that is used to prevent portions of the cell from adhering to the liner. As a result, when the honeycomb panel is compressed and opposing ends or portions of a given cell are squeezed or otherwise contacted with an associated liner, the release agent prevents such portions of the cell from adhering to the liner despite any adhesive that may have seeped through the cell material into the interior of the cell.

另外,在若干實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡的與用脫模劑處理或塗佈之側面相對的側面可用黏附劑進行處理或塗佈,該黏附劑促進將襯裡耦接至位於蜂窩孔之相鄰接合端處的蜂窩孔材料之部分上。因此,黏附劑可起作用以提供襯裡與蜂窩孔之相鄰部分之間的牢固連接,由此確保襯裡在蜂窩孔內保持在期望位置處。Additionally, in some embodiments, the side of each cell liner opposite the side treated or coated with the release agent may be treated or coated with an adhesive that facilitates coupling the liner to the portion of the cell material located at the adjacent joint end of the cell. Thus, the adhesive may function to provide a secure connection between the liner and the adjacent portion of the cell, thereby ensuring that the liner remains in a desired position within the cell.

現在參考圖式,圖1圖示根據本標的之態樣的用於建築結構之遮蓋物30之一個實施例的透視圖。一般而言,遮蓋物30可經組態以根據需要相對於窗、門或任何其他合適之建築結構安裝。在一個實施例中,遮蓋物30可經組態以相對於建築結構安裝,以允許遮蓋物30相對於建築結構懸掛或支撐。應理解,遮蓋物30不限於其作為窗或門遮光物之具體用途,且可在任何應用中用作相對於任何類型之建築結構及/或在任何類型之建築結構內的遮蓋物、隔斷、遮光物及/或類似物。Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of one embodiment of a covering 30 for a building structure in accordance with aspects of the present subject matter. In general, the covering 30 can be configured to be mounted relative to a window, door, or any other suitable building structure as desired. In one embodiment, the covering 30 can be configured to be mounted relative to the building structure to allow the covering 30 to be hung or supported relative to the building structure. It should be understood that the covering 30 is not limited to its specific use as a window or door shade, and can be used in any application as a covering, partition, shade, and/or the like relative to and/or within any type of building structure.

在若干實施例中,遮蓋物30可組態為水平型的可伸展/可收回之蜂窩式遮蓋物。舉例而言,在圖1所示之實施例中,遮蓋物30包括頂軌32、底軌34及在頂軌32與底軌34之間延伸的蜂窩式遮蓋元件(例如,蜂窩式覆層或嵌板36)。如圖所示,頂軌32及底軌34在遮蓋物30之縱向或橫向方向(如圖1中之箭頭L所指示)上延伸越過遮蓋物30之橫向寬度38。具體地,頂軌32在頂軌32之第一橫向末端40與頂軌32之第二橫向末端42之間橫向地延伸。類似地,底軌34在底軌34之第一橫向末端44與底軌34之第二橫向末端46之間橫向地延伸。另外,蜂窩式嵌板36通常經組態以在橫向方向L上延伸越過遮蓋物30之橫向寬度38 (例如,在嵌板36之相對的第一橫向側48與第二橫向側50之間)且在遮蓋物30之垂直方向(如圖1中箭頭V所指示)上在頂軌32與底軌34之間延伸。就此而言,當遮蓋物30處於完全伸展位置(例如,如圖1及圖2所示)時,界定在頂軌32與底軌34之間的蜂窩式嵌板36之垂直高度通常界定遮蓋物30在垂直方向V上之落下長度52。另外,蜂窩式嵌板36亦可界定沿著遮蓋物30之橫向方向CW (如圖1中之箭頭CW所指示)彼此間隔開的前側54及後側56。In some embodiments, the covering 30 can be configured as a horizontally extendable/retractable honeycomb covering. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , the covering 30 includes a top rail 32, a bottom rail 34, and a honeycomb covering element (e.g., a honeycomb covering or panel 36) extending between the top rail 32 and the bottom rail 34. As shown, the top rail 32 and the bottom rail 34 extend across the lateral width 38 of the covering 30 in the longitudinal or lateral direction of the covering 30 (as indicated by arrow L in FIG. 1 ). Specifically, the top rail 32 extends transversely between a first transverse end 40 of the top rail 32 and a second transverse end 42 of the top rail 32. Similarly, the bottom rail 34 extends transversely between a first transverse end 44 of the bottom rail 34 and a second transverse end 46 of the bottom rail 34. Additionally, the honeycomb panel 36 is generally configured to extend across the transverse width 38 of the covering 30 in the transverse direction L (e.g., between opposing first transverse sides 48 and second transverse sides 50 of the panel 36) and between the top rail 32 and the bottom rail 34 in the vertical direction of the covering 30 (as indicated by arrow V in FIG. 1). In this regard, when the covering 30 is in a fully extended position (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 ), the vertical height of the honeycomb panel 36 defined between the top rail 32 and the bottom rail 34 generally defines a dropped length 52 of the covering 30 in the vertical direction V. Additionally, the honeycomb panel 36 may also define a front side 54 and a rear side 56 spaced apart from one another along a transverse direction CW of the covering 30 (as indicated by arrow CW in FIG. 1 ).

應了解,蜂窩式嵌板36通常可具有允許其形成蜂窩型遮蓋元件之任何合適組態。舉例而言,在所示實施例中,蜂窩式嵌板36包括複數個垂直對準之蜂窩孔58,其中蜂窩孔58一個在另一個上方堆疊或接合以形成垂直延伸之覆層或嵌板36。具體地,每一蜂窩孔58可在界定於相鄰蜂窩孔58之間的蜂窩孔界面或接頭60處耦接至相鄰蜂窩孔58或與相鄰蜂窩孔58相交。就此而言,當每一蜂窩孔58由一或多個單獨的材料條(例如,形成整個蜂窩孔58之單個材料條,或分別形成每一蜂窩孔58之相對的前側及後側之第一及第二材料條)形成時,形成此種蜂窩孔58之材料條可在相鄰蜂窩孔接頭60處(例如,經由黏合劑)耦接至形成相鄰蜂窩孔58之材料條。另外,在所示實施例中,蜂窩式嵌板36之蜂窩孔58通常界定蜂巢或六邊形形狀。然而,在替代實施例中,蜂窩孔58可界定任何其他合適形狀,諸如五邊形形狀。亦應了解,儘管蜂窩式嵌板36展示為包括單行垂直對準之蜂窩孔58,但嵌板36可改為包括兩行或更多行垂直對準之蜂窩孔。It should be appreciated that the honeycomb panel 36 can generally have any suitable configuration that allows it to form a honeycomb-type covering element. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the honeycomb panel 36 includes a plurality of vertically aligned honeycomb holes 58, wherein the honeycomb holes 58 are stacked or joined one above the other to form a vertically extending covering or panel 36. Specifically, each honeycomb hole 58 can be coupled to or intersect with an adjacent honeycomb hole 58 at a honeycomb hole interface or joint 60 defined between the adjacent honeycomb holes 58. In this regard, when each honeycomb hole 58 is formed by one or more separate strips of material (e.g., a single strip of material forming the entire honeycomb hole 58, or first and second strips of material forming opposite front and rear sides of each honeycomb hole 58, respectively), the strips of material forming such honeycomb holes 58 may be coupled to the strips of material forming adjacent honeycomb holes 58 at adjacent honeycomb hole joints 60 (e.g., via an adhesive). Additionally, in the illustrated embodiment, the honeycomb holes 58 of the honeycomb panel 36 generally define a honeycomb or hexagonal shape. However, in alternative embodiments, the honeycomb holes 58 may define any other suitable shape, such as a pentagonal shape. It should also be understood that although the honeycomb panel 36 is shown as including a single row of vertically aligned honeycomb holes 58, the panel 36 may instead include two or more rows of vertically aligned honeycomb holes.

另外,在若干實施例中,遮蓋物30可包括升降系統62,升降系統62用於使遮蓋物30在垂直方向V上在以下位置之間移動:降低或完全伸展位置(例如,如圖1所示),在該位置處,底軌34與頂軌32垂直地間隔開遮蓋物之落下長度52;及升高或完全收回位置,在該位置處,底軌34大體上位於頂軌32附近(壓縮或壓平的蜂窩式嵌板36較少在該兩個位置之間延伸)。一般而言,升降系統62可包括複數個升降系統組件(圖1中以虛線示出),諸如升降繩、升降站、馬達、升降桿及/或類似者。舉例而言,在所示實施例中,升降系統62包括一對升降繩(例如,第一升降繩64及第二升降繩66),其中每根升降繩64、66在頂軌32與底軌34之間延伸且耦接至各自的升降站68、70。然而,應了解,視遮蓋物30之橫向寬度38而定,升降系統62可包括額外升降繩。舉例而言,對於較寬遮蓋物,升降系統62可包括在頂軌32與底軌34之間延伸的四根、六根或更多根升降繩,其中各種升降繩在遮蓋物30之橫向寬度38上彼此間隔開。另外,升降系統62亦可包括:升降桿72,其可操作地耦接至升降站68、70;馬達74 (例如,彈簧馬達),其經組態以旋轉地驅動升降桿72;及在某些情況下,制動器總成76,其經組態以停止升降桿72之意外旋轉且因此停止底軌34相對於頂軌32之意外運動(例如,當馬達74動力過大或動力不足時)。應了解,儘管各種升降系統組件展示為容納在底軌34內,但此等組件可改為容納在頂軌32內。亦應了解,在其他實施例中,升降系統62可具有允許底軌34相對於頂軌32升高及降低的任何其他合適組態(包括組件之任何其他合適組合)。Additionally, in some embodiments, the covering 30 may include a lift system 62 for moving the covering 30 in a vertical direction V between: a lowered or fully extended position (e.g., as shown in FIG. 1 ), in which the bottom rail 34 is vertically spaced from the top rail 32 by a dropped length 52 of the covering; and a raised or fully retracted position, in which the bottom rail 34 is generally located adjacent the top rail 32 (the compressed or flattened honeycomb panel 36 extends less between the two positions). In general, the lift system 62 may include a plurality of lift system components (shown in phantom in FIG. 1 ), such as lift ropes, lift stations, motors, lift rods, and/or the like. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the lift system 62 includes a pair of lift ropes (e.g., a first lift rope 64 and a second lift rope 66), wherein each lift rope 64, 66 extends between the top rail 32 and the bottom rail 34 and is coupled to a respective lift station 68, 70. However, it should be appreciated that the lift system 62 may include additional lift ropes depending on the transverse width 38 of the covering 30. For example, for wider coverings, the lift system 62 may include four, six, or more lift ropes extending between the top rail 32 and the bottom rail 34, wherein the various lift ropes are spaced apart from one another across the transverse width 38 of the covering 30. In addition, the lift system 62 may also include a lift rod 72 operably coupled to the lift stations 68, 70, a motor 74 (e.g., a spring motor) configured to rotationally drive the lift rod 72, and in some cases, a brake assembly 76 configured to stop unintentional rotation of the lift rod 72 and thus stop unintentional movement of the bottom rail 34 relative to the top rail 32 (e.g., when the motor 74 is overpowered or underpowered). It should be understood that although various lift system components are shown as being housed within the bottom rail 34, such components may instead be housed within the top rail 32. It should also be understood that in other embodiments, the lift system 62 may have any other suitable configuration (including any other suitable combination of components) that allows the bottom rail 34 to be raised and lowered relative to the top rail 32.

現在參考圖2,根據本標的之態樣圖示出圖1所示之遮蓋物30的部分橫截面圖(例如,沿著線II-II截取),特別圖示出蜂窩式覆層36之垂直剖面。如圖所示,垂直對準之蜂窩孔58通常一個在另一個上方堆疊或接合以形成蜂窩式覆層36,其中每一蜂窩孔58在界定於相鄰蜂窩孔58之間的蜂窩孔界面或接頭60處耦接至相鄰蜂窩孔58。具體地,每一蜂窩孔58可在第一或上部接合端60A與第二或下部接合端60B之間垂直地延伸,其中每一蜂窩孔58之上部接合端60A在一個蜂窩孔接頭60處耦接至相鄰上部蜂窩孔58之下部接合端60B,且此蜂窩孔58之下部接合端60B在其相對的蜂窩孔接頭60處耦接至相鄰下部蜂窩孔58之上部接合端60A。在若干實施例中,每一蜂窩孔接頭60處的相鄰蜂窩孔58之間的連接或耦接可經由合適黏合劑來提供。舉例而言,如圖2所示,可在相鄰蜂窩孔58之接合端60A、60B之間提供一行或多行黏合劑或黏合劑珠80,以在每一蜂窩孔接頭60處將蜂窩孔58耦接在一起。2, a partial cross-sectional view (e.g., taken along line II-II) of the cover 30 shown in FIG. 1 is illustrated according to aspects of the present subject matter, particularly illustrating a vertical cross-section of the honeycomb cover 36. As shown, vertically aligned honeycomb cells 58 are generally stacked or joined one upon another to form the honeycomb cover 36, wherein each honeycomb cell 58 is coupled to an adjacent honeycomb cell 58 at a honeycomb cell interface or joint 60 defined between the adjacent honeycomb cells 58. Specifically, each honeycomb hole 58 may extend vertically between a first or upper joining end 60A and a second or lower joining end 60B, wherein the upper joining end 60A of each honeycomb hole 58 is coupled to the lower joining end 60B of the adjacent upper honeycomb hole 58 at one honeycomb hole joint 60, and the lower joining end 60B of the honeycomb hole 58 is coupled to the upper joining end 60A of the adjacent lower honeycomb hole 58 at its opposite honeycomb hole joint 60. In some embodiments, the connection or coupling between the adjacent honeycomb holes 58 at each honeycomb hole joint 60 may be provided via a suitable adhesive. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , one or more rows of adhesive or adhesive beads 80 may be provided between the joint ends 60A, 60B of adjacent honeycomb holes 58 to couple the honeycomb holes 58 together at each honeycomb hole joint 60 .

一般而言,蜂窩式覆層36之每一單獨蜂窩孔58可由單獨的一或多條材料或「材料條帶」82形成,材料條帶在界定於相鄰蜂窩孔58之間的蜂窩孔接頭60之間延伸。舉例而言,在所示實施例中,每一蜂窩孔58由單個材料條帶82形成,材料條帶82在相鄰蜂窩孔接頭60之間形成環以形成蜂窩孔58之周邊或蜂窩結構。具體地,環形條帶82可經組態以在第一條帶末端84與第二條帶末端86之間延伸,其中環形條帶82之末端84、86在相鄰蜂窩孔接頭60中之一者處(例如,在蜂窩孔58之上部接合端60A處)耦接至相鄰蜂窩孔58之材料條帶82。在此種實施例中,環形條帶82可在其第一末端84與第二末端86之間的給定位置處耦接至另一相鄰蜂窩孔58之材料條帶82,以便界定另一蜂窩孔接頭60 (例如,在蜂窩孔58之下部接合端60B處)。另外,如圖2所示,藉由使用單條帶設計,環形條帶82可界定蜂窩式嵌板36之前側48及後側50兩者的部分。具體地,沿著蜂窩式嵌板36之前側48,材料條帶82可經組態以形成:前部上部牆段88,其在蜂窩孔58之上部接合端60A與形成於材料條帶82中之前部折疊或皺褶線90之間延伸;及前部下部牆段92,其在前部皺褶線90與蜂窩孔58之下部接合端60B之間延伸。類似地,沿著蜂窩式嵌板36之後側50,材料條帶82可經組態以形成:後部上部牆段94,其在蜂窩孔58之上部接合端60A與形成於材料條帶82中之後部折疊或皺褶線96之間延伸;及後部下部牆段98,其在後部皺褶線96與蜂窩孔58之下部接合端60B之間延伸。In general, each individual cell 58 of the honeycomb covering 36 may be formed from a separate one or more strips of material or "material strips" 82 that extend between the cell joints 60 defined between adjacent cells 58. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, each cell 58 is formed from a single strip of material 82 that forms a ring between adjacent cell joints 60 to form the perimeter or honeycomb structure of the cell 58. Specifically, the annular strip 82 can be configured to extend between a first strip end 84 and a second strip end 86, wherein the ends 84, 86 of the annular strip 82 are coupled to the material strip 82 of the adjacent honeycomb hole 58 at one of the adjacent honeycomb hole joints 60 (e.g., at the upper joint end 60A of the honeycomb hole 58). In such an embodiment, the annular strip 82 can be coupled to the material strip 82 of the other adjacent honeycomb hole 58 at a given location between the first end 84 and the second end 86 thereof so as to define the other honeycomb hole joint 60 (e.g., at the lower joint end 60B of the honeycomb hole 58). Additionally, as shown in FIG. 2 , by using a single strip design, the annular strip 82 can define portions of both the front side 48 and the rear side 50 of the honeycomb panel 36. Specifically, along the front side 48 of the honeycomb panel 36, the material strip 82 can be configured to form: a front upper wall segment 88 extending between the upper joint end 60A of the honeycomb hole 58 and a front fold or crease line 90 formed in the material strip 82; and a front lower wall segment 92 extending between the front crease line 90 and the lower joint end 60B of the honeycomb hole 58. Similarly, along the rear side 50 of the honeycomb panel 36, the material strip 82 can be configured to form: a rear upper wall section 94 extending between the upper joint end 60A of the honeycomb hole 58 and a rear fold or crease line 96 formed in the material strip 82; and a rear lower wall section 98 extending between the rear crease line 96 and the lower joint end 60B of the honeycomb hole 58.

應了解,在替代實施例中,每一蜂窩孔58可由多於一個材料條形成。舉例而言,在一個替代實施例中,每一蜂窩孔58可由在相鄰蜂窩孔接頭60之間延伸的兩個單獨的材料條形成,其中每一材料條帶之上部末端在蜂窩孔58之上部接合端60A處耦接至相鄰的上部蜂窩孔58,且每一材料條帶之下部末端在蜂窩孔58之下部接合端60B處耦接至相鄰的下部蜂窩孔58。在此種實施例中,「前部」條帶可沿著蜂窩式嵌板36之前側48在相鄰的蜂窩孔接頭60之間延伸,以形成前部牆段88、92及相關聯的皺褶線90。類似地,「後部」條帶可沿著蜂窩式嵌板36之後側50在相鄰的蜂窩孔接頭60之間延伸,以形成後部牆段94、98及相關聯的皺褶線96。It should be appreciated that in alternative embodiments, each cell 58 may be formed from more than one strip of material. For example, in one alternative embodiment, each cell 58 may be formed from two separate strips of material extending between adjacent cell joints 60, wherein the upper end of each strip of material is coupled to the adjacent upper cell 58 at the upper joining end 60A of the cell 58, and the lower end of each strip of material is coupled to the adjacent lower cell 58 at the lower joining end 60B of the cell 58. In such an embodiment, a “front” strip may extend between adjacent cell joints 60 along the front side 48 of the cell panel 36 to form the front wall segments 88, 92 and associated crease lines 90. Similarly, a “rear” strip may extend along the rear side 50 of the honeycomb panel 36 between adjacent honeycomb hole joints 60 to form rear wall segments 94 , 98 and associated crease lines 96 .

在若干實施例中,蜂窩式嵌板36可經組態以提供至少部分透明或「透視」遮光組態。在此類實施例中,界定嵌板36之蜂窩孔58的各種材料條帶82可例如由允許可見光穿過之薄紗材料形成。舉例而言,在一個實施例中,薄紗材料可具有如下的開放因數(例如,材料內之開放空間的百分比,該百分比例如藉由量測材料及材料中界定之開放空間兩者所佔據的面積且計算不包括材料之總面積的百分比來計算):大於或等於50%且小於或等於95%,諸如大於或等於55%且小於或等於90%,及其間的增量為1%之任何其他子範圍。如通常所理解的,開放因數愈高,材料所提供之輕薄性及透明度愈高。In some embodiments, the honeycomb panel 36 can be configured to provide an at least partially transparent or "see-through" light-blocking configuration. In such embodiments, the various material strips 82 that define the honeycomb holes 58 of the panel 36 can be formed, for example, from a gauze material that allows visible light to pass through. For example, in one embodiment, the gauze material can have an open factor (e.g., the percentage of open space within the material, such as calculated by measuring the area occupied by both the material and the open space defined in the material and calculating the percentage of the total area excluding the material): greater than or equal to 50% and less than or equal to 95%, such as greater than or equal to 55% and less than or equal to 90%, and any other sub-ranges in 1% increments therebetween. As is generally understood, the higher the open factor, the greater the thinness and transparency provided by the material.

在若干實施例中,蜂窩式嵌板36之各種材料條帶82可由具有複數根交織紗線(例如,以給定圖案)之梭織物形成。在此類實施例中,可選擇(例如,經紗及緯紗方向上之)紗線密度以構建具有期望的強度與透視平衡之織物。在一個實施例中,梭織物之紗線密度可具有如下範圍:給定方向(例如,經紗或緯紗方向)上的大於或等於15根紗線每公分至此方向上的小於或等於80根紗線每公分,諸如給定方向上的大於或等於20根紗線每公分至此方向上的小於或等於75根紗線每公分,及其間界定的增量為1根紗線每公分之任何其他子範圍。另外,可選擇紗線之尺寸及類型,例如使得:(1)織物被製成具有期望的開放度(例如,具有一定數量之交叉點);(2)所得織物具有足夠強度、足夠柔韌性及允許材料作為建築遮蓋物之一部分伸展及收回的厚度;及/或(3)材料不為遮蓋物增加不期望量的重量。舉例而言,紗線可包含機紡紗、複絲紗、單絲紗或其混合物。此外,編織材料之基重可視用於製造材料的紗線之類型、紗線之尺寸及材料中的開放量改變。在一些實施例中,編織材料之基重大於或等於約5克每平方公尺(gsm)且小於或等於約200 gsm,諸如大於或等於10 gsm且小於或等於等於190 gsm,及其間界定的增量為1 gsm之任何其他子範圍。用於形成適合在所揭示之蜂窩式嵌板36內使用的薄紗織物(例如,薄紗透明硬紗織物)之編織材料的一個實例在轉讓給Hunter Douglas Inc.之國際申請案PCT/US2020/028114號(公開為WO2020/219302)中進行描述,該國際申請案之揭示內容在此出於所有目的以全文引用方式併入本文中。In some embodiments, the various material strips 82 of the honeycomb panel 36 can be formed from a woven fabric having a plurality of interwoven yarns (e.g., in a given pattern). In such embodiments, the yarn density (e.g., in the warp and weft directions) can be selected to construct a woven fabric having a desired balance of strength and perspective. In one embodiment, the yarn density of the woven fabric can have a range of greater than or equal to 15 yarns per centimeter in a given direction (e.g., warp or weft direction) to less than or equal to 80 yarns per centimeter in that direction, such as greater than or equal to 20 yarns per centimeter in a given direction to less than or equal to 75 yarns per centimeter in that direction, and any other sub-ranges defined therebetween with increments of 1 yarn per centimeter. In addition, the size and type of yarns can be selected, for example, so that: (1) the fabric is made with a desired degree of openness (e.g., with a certain number of crossovers); (2) the resulting fabric has sufficient strength, sufficient flexibility, and a thickness that allows the material to be extended and retracted as part of a building covering; and/or (3) the material does not add an undesirable amount of weight to the covering. For example, the yarns can include woven yarns, multifilament yarns, monofilament yarns, or mixtures thereof. In addition, the basis weight of the woven material can vary depending on the type of yarns used to make the material, the size of the yarns, and the amount of openness in the material. In some embodiments, the basis weight of the woven material is greater than or equal to about 5 grams per square meter (gsm) and less than or equal to about 200 gsm, such as greater than or equal to 10 gsm and less than or equal to 190 gsm, and any other subranges defined therebetween in increments of 1 gsm. One example of a woven material for forming a tissue fabric (e.g., a tissue organza fabric) suitable for use in the disclosed honeycomb panel 36 is described in International Application No. PCT/US2020/028114 (published as WO2020/219302) assigned to Hunter Douglas Inc., the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.

應了解,作為薄紗材料之替代物,蜂窩式嵌板36可由具有任何合適透明度/不透明度程度的任何其他合適類型之材料形成,該材料包括其他半透明/不透明材料、不透明材料(包括遮光材料)及類似材料。另外,應了解,作為梭織物材料之替代物,所揭示蜂窩式嵌板36之各種蜂窩孔58可由任何其他合適材料形成,該等材料包括非編織網、膜等。在特定實施例中,蜂窩式嵌板36可由任何合適之蜂窩孔材料形成,該蜂窩孔材料允許塗覆至其之黏合劑至少部分地透過蜂窩孔材料滲出。因此,除了薄紗材料之外,可使用具有允許黏合劑至少部分地透過材料滲出之給定孔隙率或開放因數的各種其他材料來形成每一蜂窩孔58。It should be appreciated that, as an alternative to a gauze material, the honeycomb panel 36 may be formed of any other suitable type of material having any suitable degree of transparency/opacity, including other translucent/opaque materials, opaque materials (including light blocking materials), and the like. Additionally, it should be appreciated that, as an alternative to a woven material, the various honeycomb holes 58 of the disclosed honeycomb panel 36 may be formed of any other suitable material, including non-woven webs, films, and the like. In particular embodiments, the honeycomb panel 36 may be formed of any suitable honeycomb hole material that allows an adhesive applied thereto to at least partially seep through the honeycomb hole material. Thus, in addition to a tissue material, various other materials having a given porosity or open factor that allows the adhesive to at least partially permeate through the material may be used to form each honeycomb hole 58.

仍參考圖2,根據本標的之態樣,蜂窩式嵌板36亦可包括位於每一蜂窩孔58內部內的內部蜂窩孔襯裡100。一般而言,每一蜂窩孔襯裡100可經組態以在蜂窩孔58之接合端60A、60B中之一者處或附近沿著相關聯蜂窩孔58之內周邊耦接。舉例而言,在所示實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡100在蜂窩孔58之下部接合端60B處耦接至相關聯蜂窩孔58之內表面。然而,在其他實施例中,蜂窩孔襯裡100可在蜂窩孔58之上部接合端60A處耦接至該等襯裡之相應蜂窩孔58之內表面。Still referring to FIG. 2 , according to aspects of the present subject matter, the honeycomb panel 36 may also include an inner honeycomb liner 100 located within each honeycomb hole 58. Generally, each honeycomb liner 100 may be configured to be coupled along the inner periphery of the associated honeycomb hole 58 at or near one of the joining ends 60A, 60B of the honeycomb hole 58. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, each honeycomb liner 100 is coupled to the inner surface of the associated honeycomb hole 58 at the lower joining end 60B of the honeycomb hole 58. However, in other embodiments, the honeycomb liner 100 may be coupled to the inner surface of the corresponding honeycomb hole 58 of the liners at the upper joining end 60A of the honeycomb hole 58.

藉由在接合端60A、60B中之一者處將蜂窩孔襯裡100安裝在蜂窩孔58內部內,襯裡100可提供許多優點。舉例而言,在製造製程期間,襯裡100可用作護罩或分隔物,以防止每一蜂窩孔58之相對的接合端60A、60B在蜂窩式嵌板36壓縮時彼此黏連。具體地,在形成蜂窩式嵌板36期間,塗覆在每一蜂窩孔接頭60處之黏合劑80可透過材料條帶82之相鄰部分滲出,特別對於由相對開放之材料(例如,片材)形成之條帶82而言。因此,若蜂窩式嵌板36在黏合劑乾燥或固化之前壓縮至閉合位置,則每一蜂窩孔58之上部接合端及下部接合端60A、60B可經由已經透過滲出至蜂窩孔58內部的黏合劑黏連在一起。就此而言,所揭示襯裡100可防止蜂窩孔58之接合端60A、60B的此種黏附。另外,襯裡100亦可為成品嵌板製造後提供優點。舉例而言,藉由將襯裡100永久地安裝在蜂窩孔58內,襯裡100可在界定於相鄰蜂窩孔58之間的蜂窩孔接頭58處提供額外結構,從而提高蜂窩式嵌板36之結構完整性。By installing the honeycomb hole liner 100 inside the honeycomb hole 58 at one of the joint ends 60A, 60B, the liner 100 can provide a number of advantages. For example, during the manufacturing process, the liner 100 can be used as a shield or spacer to prevent the opposing joint ends 60A, 60B of each honeycomb hole 58 from adhering to each other when the honeycomb panel 36 is compressed. Specifically, during the formation of the honeycomb panel 36, the adhesive 80 applied at each honeycomb hole joint 60 can seep through adjacent portions of the material strip 82, especially for the strip 82 formed from a relatively open material (e.g., a sheet material). Therefore, if the honeycomb panel 36 is compressed to a closed position before the adhesive dries or cures, the upper and lower joint ends 60A, 60B of each honeycomb hole 58 may be adhered together via the adhesive that has seeped through into the interior of the honeycomb hole 58. In this regard, the disclosed liner 100 can prevent such adhesion of the joint ends 60A, 60B of the honeycomb holes 58. In addition, the liner 100 can also provide advantages after the finished panel is manufactured. For example, by permanently installing the liner 100 in the honeycomb holes 58, the liner 100 can provide additional structure at the honeycomb hole joints 58 defined between adjacent honeycomb holes 58, thereby improving the structural integrity of the honeycomb panel 36.

在若干實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡100可由諸如工程膜之膜形成。在一個實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡100可由聚合物膜形成。舉例而言,合適的聚合物膜材料可包括但不限於聚酯、聚碳酸酯、耐綸、聚丙烯、聚乙烯及/或類似物。然而,在其他實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡100可由非聚合物材料形成及/或可不對應於膜。另外,在若干實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡100可為完全透明的(例如,藉由由清透膜形成)。然而,在其他實施例中,每一襯裡100可具有某種程度的不透明度,諸如藉由具有在大於0%至小於或等於100%之範圍內的不透明度,諸如大於或等於5%至小於或等於50%之不透明度,及其間的增量為1%之任何其他子範圍。在若干實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡100之顏色可被選擇為實質上匹配每一襯裡100安裝所在的各別蜂窩孔58之顏色。舉例而言,在一個實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡100可被著色(例如,經由包括合適之色調、顏料等)以實質上匹配用於形成蜂窩式嵌板36之各種蜂窩孔58的材料(例如,織物材料)之顏色。In some embodiments, each honeycomb hole liner 100 may be formed of a film such as an engineered film. In one embodiment, each honeycomb hole liner 100 may be formed of a polymer film. For example, suitable polymer film materials may include but are not limited to polyester, polycarbonate, nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene and/or the like. However, in other embodiments, each honeycomb hole liner 100 may be formed of a non-polymer material and/or may not correspond to a film. Additionally, in some embodiments, each honeycomb hole liner 100 may be completely transparent (e.g., by being formed of a clear film). However, in other embodiments, each liner 100 may have a certain degree of opacity, such as by having an opacity within a range of greater than 0% to less than or equal to 100%, such as greater than or equal to 5% to less than or equal to 50%, and any other sub-ranges in 1% increments therebetween. In several embodiments, the color of each cell liner 100 may be selected to substantially match the color of the respective cell 58 in which each liner 100 is mounted. For example, in one embodiment, each cell liner 100 may be colored (e.g., by including an appropriate tint, pigment, etc.) to substantially match the color of the material (e.g., fabric material) used to form the various cell 58 of the cell panel 36.

在若干實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡100可設計為相對較薄,以最小化增加至蜂窩式嵌板36之重量及對透視嵌板36之任何影響。舉例而言,在一個實施例中,每一襯裡100之材料厚度102 (圖3)可具有如下範圍:大於或等於20規(即,大約0.005毫米)至小於或等於625規(即,大約0.158毫米),諸如大於或等於25規至小於或等於600規及/或其間的增量為1規之任何子範圍。然而,在其他實施例中,每一襯裡100可具有允許其如本文所述地起作用的任何其他合適厚度。另外,在若干實施例中,每一蜂窩孔襯裡可界定範圍如下之寬度104 (圖3) (例如,在蜂窩式嵌板36之橫向方向CW上):大於或等於0.25吋至小於或等於1吋,諸如大於或等於0.5吋至小於或等於0.75吋及/或其間的增量為0.05吋之任何其他子範圍。然而,應了解,襯裡寬度104通常可視界定於相鄰蜂窩孔58之間的蜂窩孔接頭60之橫向寬度改變。In some embodiments, each honeycomb hole liner 100 can be designed to be relatively thin to minimize the weight added to the honeycomb panel 36 and any impact on the see-through panel 36. For example, in one embodiment, the material thickness 102 (FIG. 3) of each liner 100 can have a range of greater than or equal to 20 gauge (i.e., approximately 0.005 mm) to less than or equal to 625 gauge (i.e., approximately 0.158 mm), such as greater than or equal to 25 gauge to less than or equal to 600 gauge and/or any sub-range of 1 gauge therebetween. However, in other embodiments, each liner 100 can have any other suitable thickness that allows it to function as described herein. Additionally, in some embodiments, each cell liner may define a width 104 ( FIG. 3 ) (e.g., in the transverse direction CW of the cell panel 36 ) ranging from greater than or equal to 0.25 inches to less than or equal to 1 inch, such as greater than or equal to 0.5 inches to less than or equal to 0.75 inches and/or any other sub-range therebetween in increments of 0.05 inches. However, it should be appreciated that the liner width 104 may generally vary depending on the transverse width of the cell joints 60 defined between adjacent cells 58.

如上所述,每一內部蜂窩孔襯裡100可經組態以至少部分地用作護罩或分隔物,以防止每一蜂窩孔58之相對的接合端60A、60B在用於將相鄰蜂窩孔58耦接在一起之黏合劑固化或乾燥之前黏連在一起。就此而言,為了促進此功能性,每一襯裡100之內側106 (圖3) (即襯裡100的面向蜂窩孔58內部且因此面向蜂窩孔之相對接合端的側面)可用脫模劑進行處理或塗佈。舉例而言,合適之脫模劑可包括但不限於矽酮、氟矽酮、含氟化學品及/或具有可防止黏合劑黏附至材料的脫模化學之其他不黏材料。結果,當蜂窩式嵌板36壓縮且每一蜂窩孔58之相對接合端(例如,所示實施例中之上部接合端60A)擠壓或以其他方式接觸相關聯襯裡100之內側時,儘管任何黏合劑可能已經滲過蜂窩孔材料滲出至蜂窩孔58內部中,但脫模劑可防止蜂窩孔58之此部分黏連至襯裡100。As described above, each inner honeycomb hole liner 100 can be configured to at least partially serve as a shield or separator to prevent the opposing joint ends 60A, 60B of each honeycomb hole 58 from sticking together before the adhesive used to couple the adjacent honeycomb holes 58 together is cured or dried. In this regard, to promote this functionality, the inner side 106 (FIG. 3) of each liner 100 (i.e., the side of the liner 100 facing the interior of the honeycomb hole 58 and therefore facing the opposing joint ends of the honeycomb hole) can be treated or coated with a release agent. For example, suitable release agents may include, but are not limited to, silicones, fluorosilicones, fluorinated chemicals, and/or other non-stick materials having a release chemistry that prevents the adhesive from adhering to the material. As a result, when the honeycomb panel 36 is compressed and the opposing engagement end of each honeycomb hole 58 (e.g., the upper engagement end 60A in the illustrated embodiment) squeezes or otherwise contacts the inside of the associated liner 100, the release agent prevents such portions of the honeycomb hole 58 from adhering to the liner 100 despite any adhesive that may have seeped through the honeycomb hole material into the interior of the honeycomb hole 58.

另外,根據本標的之態樣,在若干實施例中,襯裡100之相對的外側108 (圖3) (即,襯裡100的背朝蜂窩孔58內部且因此面朝蜂窩孔58之相鄰接合端的側面)可用黏附劑進行處理或塗佈或以其他方式接觸黏附劑,該黏附劑促進將襯裡100耦接至位於蜂窩孔58之相鄰接合端(例如,所示實施例中之下部接合端58B)處的蜂窩孔材料之部分。在一個實施例中,黏附劑可對應於黏合劑塗佈或處理,諸如壓敏黏合劑,其用於將襯裡100耦接至蜂窩孔58之相鄰部分。在另一實施例中,與應用於襯裡100之外側108的單獨黏合劑塗佈或處理相反,黏附劑可對應於置放在相鄰蜂窩孔接頭60處的已經透過蜂窩孔材料滲出至蜂窩孔58內部中的黏合劑之全部或一部分,或黏合劑可對應於額外的黏合劑珠或線已經塗覆在每一襯裡100與其對應蜂窩孔58之相鄰部分之間,以將襯裡100固定至蜂窩孔58。替代地,黏附劑可對應於增強襯裡100經由單獨黏合劑耦接至蜂窩孔58之相鄰接合端的能力的塗佈或處理,諸如丙烯酸系物、改質聚胺基甲酸酯或具有用於增強襯裡100至蜂窩孔58之相鄰部分之黏附的合適性質之任何其他材料的塗佈或處理。舉例而言,就置放在相鄰蜂窩孔接頭60處之黏合劑透過蜂窩孔材料滲出至蜂窩孔58內部中而言,黏附劑可經由此黏合劑來增強襯裡100黏附至蜂窩孔58之相鄰部分的能力。替代地,在額外的黏合劑珠或線已經塗覆在每一襯裡100與其對應蜂窩孔58之相鄰部分之間以將襯裡100固定至蜂窩孔58之實施例中,黏附劑可增強襯裡100經由此額外黏合劑層黏附至蜂窩孔58之相鄰部分的能力。Additionally, in accordance with aspects of the present subject matter, in some embodiments, the opposing outer side 108 ( FIG. 3 ) of the liner 100 (i.e., the side of the liner 100 that faces away from the interior of the honeycomb hole 58 and therefore faces the adjacent joining end of the honeycomb hole 58) may be treated or coated with an adhesive or otherwise contacted with an adhesive that facilitates coupling the liner 100 to a portion of the honeycomb hole material located at the adjacent joining end of the honeycomb hole 58 (e.g., the lower joining end 58B in the illustrated embodiment). In one embodiment, the adhesive may correspond to an adhesive coating or treatment, such as a pressure sensitive adhesive, which is used to couple the liner 100 to adjacent portions of the honeycomb holes 58. In another embodiment, as opposed to a separate adhesive coating or treatment applied to the exterior side 108 of the liner 100, the adhesive may correspond to all or a portion of the adhesive placed at adjacent honeycomb hole joints 60 that has seeped through the honeycomb hole material into the interior of the honeycomb holes 58, or the adhesive may correspond to an additional bead or line of adhesive having been applied between each liner 100 and the adjacent portion of its corresponding honeycomb hole 58 to secure the liner 100 to the honeycomb holes 58. Alternatively, the adhesive may correspond to a coating or treatment that enhances the ability of the liner 100 to couple to the adjacent joint ends of the honeycomb holes 58 via a separate adhesive, such as a coating or treatment of acrylic, modified polyurethane, or any other material having suitable properties for enhancing the adhesion of the liner 100 to the adjacent portions of the honeycomb holes 58. For example, to the extent that the adhesive placed at the adjacent honeycomb hole joints 60 permeates through the honeycomb hole material into the interior of the honeycomb hole 58, the adhesive may enhance the ability of the liner 100 to adhere to the adjacent portions of the honeycomb holes 58 via this adhesive. Alternatively, in embodiments where an additional adhesive bead or line has been applied between each liner 100 and the adjacent portion of its corresponding honeycomb hole 58 to secure the liner 100 to the honeycomb hole 58, the adhesive may enhance the ability of the liner 100 to adhere to the adjacent portion of the honeycomb hole 58 via this additional adhesive layer.

現在參考圖3及圖4,根據本標的之態樣圖示出上文參考圖2所描述的蜂窩孔襯裡100中之一者的一個實施例之橫截面圖。特別地,圖3圖示蜂窩孔襯裡100之特寫橫截面圖,其中襯裡100包括沿著其相對側之合適塗佈或處理。另外,圖4圖示安裝在處於壓縮或關閉狀態之蜂窩孔58內的圖3所示之蜂窩孔襯裡100的橫截面圖,其中出於說明目的,展示出相鄰的上部及下部壓縮蜂窩孔58之部分。Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4 , cross-sectional views of one embodiment of one of the honeycomb hole liners 100 described above with reference to FIG. 2 are illustrated in accordance with aspects of the present subject matter. In particular, FIG. 3 illustrates a close-up cross-sectional view of the honeycomb hole liner 100, wherein the liner 100 includes a suitable coating or treatment along opposite sides thereof. Additionally, FIG. 4 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the honeycomb hole liner 100 shown in FIG. 3 installed within a honeycomb hole 58 in a compressed or closed state, wherein adjacent upper and lower compressed honeycomb hole 58 portions are shown for illustrative purposes.

如圖3所示,襯裡100包括沿著其相對側106、108之基底材料110 (例如,聚合物膜材料),基底材料110已經用單獨的試劑進行塗佈或處理。具體地,在所示情況下,襯裡100之內側106 (即,經組態以面朝對應蜂窩孔58之內部且因此面向蜂窩孔58之相對接合端的側面)已經用脫模劑112 (例如,矽酮塗層)進行處理。舉例而言,如圖3所示,脫模劑112界定或形成延伸越過襯裡100之內側106的襯裡100之內表面114之一部分。因此,當安裝有襯裡100之蜂窩孔58移動至其壓縮或閉合狀態(參見圖4)時,蜂窩孔58的接觸襯裡100之內表面114的部分將不黏至襯裡100。舉例而言,如圖4所示,當蜂窩孔58壓縮時,位於所示蜂窩孔58之上部接合端60A處的材料條帶82之相對末端84、86擠壓或以其他方式接觸襯裡100之內表面114 (圖3)。在此種情況下,即使黏合劑(例如,來自黏合劑線80)自相鄰蜂窩孔接頭60透過蜂窩孔材料滲出,脫模劑112亦將防止蜂窩孔58之相鄰部分黏至襯裡100之內表面114。As shown in FIG3 , the liner 100 includes a base material 110 (e.g., a polymer film material) along its opposite sides 106, 108, which has been coated or treated with a separate reagent. Specifically, in the illustrated case, the inner side 106 of the liner 100 (i.e., the side configured to face the interior of the corresponding honeycomb hole 58 and thus facing the opposite joint end of the honeycomb hole 58) has been treated with a release agent 112 (e.g., a silicone coating). For example, as shown in FIG3 , the release agent 112 defines or forms a portion of an inner surface 114 of the liner 100 that extends beyond the inner side 106 of the liner 100. Thus, when the honeycomb hole 58 with the liner 100 mounted thereon moves to its compressed or closed state (see FIG. 4 ), the portion of the honeycomb hole 58 that contacts the inner surface 114 of the liner 100 will not adhere to the liner 100. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , when the honeycomb hole 58 is compressed, the opposing ends 84, 86 of the material strip 82 at the upper engagement end 60A of the illustrated honeycomb hole 58 squeeze or otherwise contact the inner surface 114 of the liner 100 ( FIG. 3 ). In this case, even if adhesive (e.g., from adhesive line 80) seeps from adjacent cell hole joints 60 through the cell material, the release agent 112 will prevent adjacent portions of the cell 58 from adhering to the inner surface 114 of the liner 100.

另外,如圖3所示,襯裡100之外側108 (即,經組態以背朝對應蜂窩孔58之內部且因此面朝蜂窩孔58之相鄰接合端的側面)已經用黏附劑116進行處理。具體地,在所示實施例中,黏附劑116界定或形成延伸越過襯裡100之外側108的襯裡100之外表面118之一部分。因此,當襯裡100相對於給定蜂窩孔58之接合端60A、60B中之一者安裝時,黏附劑116可促進將襯裡100耦接至蜂窩孔58。舉例而言,當黏附劑116包含給定黏合劑之層或塗層時,黏附劑116本身可提供至蜂窩孔58之相鄰部分的直接連接。替代地,當黏附劑116包含適於增強襯裡100與單獨的黏合劑源接合或黏連之能力的塗佈或處理時(例如,黏合劑透過蜂窩孔58之相鄰接合端或自位於蜂窩孔58與襯裡100之間的額外黏合劑線滲出),黏附劑116可允許在襯裡100與蜂窩孔58之間形成牢固的黏合劑連接。3 , the outer side 108 of the liner 100 (i.e., the side configured to face away from the interior of the corresponding honeycomb hole 58 and thus toward the adjacent mating end of the honeycomb hole 58) has been treated with an adhesive 116. Specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the adhesive 116 defines or forms a portion of the outer surface 118 of the liner 100 that extends beyond the outer side 108 of the liner 100. Thus, when the liner 100 is mounted relative to one of the mating ends 60A, 60B of a given honeycomb hole 58, the adhesive 116 can facilitate coupling the liner 100 to the honeycomb hole 58. For example, when the adhesive 116 comprises a layer or coating of a given adhesive, the adhesive 116 itself may provide a direct connection to adjacent portions of the honeycomb holes 58. Alternatively, when the adhesive 116 comprises a coating or treatment suitable for enhancing the ability of the liner 100 to bond or adhere to a separate adhesive source (e.g., the adhesive seeps through adjacent bonded ends of the honeycomb holes 58 or from additional adhesive lines between the honeycomb holes 58 and the liner 100), the adhesive 116 may allow a strong adhesive connection to be formed between the liner 100 and the honeycomb holes 58.
