Abstract

A process of making a family cell of homogenous inner bladders with varying elasticity includes a forming a plurality of inner bladders from a first material with a first elasticity. The inner bladders have interior surfaces during inner chambers and exterior surfaces exposed to an outside environment. The inner chambers are configured to store a fluid. A family cell is formed by fluidly connecting the inner bladders. One or more hybrid bladders are selected from the inner bladders and a second material having a second elasticity is applied to the hybrid bladders. The second elasticity is less than the first elasticity, such that the second material reduces the elastic qualities of the hybrid bladder.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . A cushion comprising:
 an inner bladder having a first material of a first elasticity; and   a second material having a second elasticity, the second material connected to an exterior surface of the inner bladder and forming a pattern thereon wherein the second material reduces the elasticity the inner bladder.   
     
     
         16 . The cushion of  claim 15 , wherein the cushion is the innersole of a shoe. 
     
     
         17 . A method of controlling elongation of connected fabrics comprising:
 connecting at least two first fabrics, the first fabric formed by a first material having a first elasticity; and   attaching a second fabric, the second fabric formed by a second material having a second elasticity to the first fabric,   wherein the second elasticity is substantially less than the first elasticity.   
     
     
         18 . The process of  claim 17 , wherein the second material forms at least one variable pattern. 
     
     
         19 . The process of  claim 17  wherein the at least one variable pattern corresponds with a pressure mapping diagram, the pressure mapping diagram reflecting areas of expected pressure between a cushion and a user.
