When a load cannot be directly supported by the porcelain because of localized protrusions or other shapes in the porcelain, layered cushioning material can be placed along the shape of the porcelain to achieve a load bearing structure that utilizes the properties of the rigid porcelain.
By aligning the overlapping notches of the cushioning material and inserting a stopper, the angle can be maintained while preventing the material from falling or slipping.
Changing the position of the notches enables the angle to be freely adjusted.
The amount of corrugated cardboard used has also been reduced by approximately 30% compared to the conventional structure.
Since this cushioning material consists only of corrugated cardboard, consideration is given to wasteability and the Global Environment.
