Description

Field of invention

The present patent of privilege of invention belongs to the field of nautical accessories and decoration and deals with a process to produce flooring for floors and boat surfaces in a blanket of polymeric material such as PVC, in order to advantageously replace the nautical floor made of strips made of wood or slats, popularly known as "teka", exemplified by the decking and marquetry flooring, whose gaps between slats are produced in the PVC blanket by removing material using a router type equipment, that is , by milling and then these gaps are caulked or filled with liquid, pasty or solid material, derived from PU, PVC, Linoleum and other materials compatible with PVC or others.

The purpose of this patent application is to present an innovative process associated with a synthetic coating for boats, with low cost for its industrial feasibility, combined with the aesthetic requirements and utilitarian practicality that offers the nautical sector, an additional option in the market of counterparts that in contrast of conventional coatings, it is endowed with numerous possibilities and benefits, becoming a process associated with a product of great expectation and acceptance in the sectorial market.

History of the invention

The products for coating vessel surfaces and nautical furniture have different peculiarities in relation to other types of flooring and, in particular, deck-type flooring, consisting of strips or wooden icons joined by caulking, in order to form a mosaic with characteristics very appreciated by fans of the nautical world.

The strips of wood ordered for ornamentation, can form simple mosaics when arranged in parallel, but also, they can be arranged in different ornaments, including forming geometric figures, arabesques, logos, including the vessel's name and gives a very personalized aesthetic characterization to the vessel besides valuing it and making the environment more pleasant.

Deck is the English word for the deck of ships or platforms made of boards that surround swimming pools.

The most used wood in the shipbuilding industry around the world is teka. Tectona grandis, popularly known as "Teka", is an original tree from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, but mainly from Burma or Burma (English name that is also now known as Myanmar). This is the ideal wood for making decks, thanks to its durability and sophistication.

Teka is a light wood that presents great resistance to weight, traction and flexion. In addition, it practically does not gable because it is very stable. This also allows it to resist the variation of humidity in the environment. It can be found in blades, boards, rulers and solid. Thus, in many regions the vessel floor covering itself is known as teka.

The surface covering for interiors and boat decks can also be made using artificial material, produced by joining profiles like rulers or boards, which are glued side by side, until they reach the desired layout.

Deficient points of the state of the art

The great drawback of this type of nautical coating is that its production is completely handmade and for this reason, costly and time-consuming to execute, despite having a highly appreciated result.

Another drawback is that the wood material, even the hardest and most resistant woods, undergo aging, stains and surface damage that require constant and unpleasant maintenance, especially when applied to the nautical world, known for its severe weather.

Summary of the invention

Due to the need to obtain a nautical lining of the mosaic type of wood strips, but that is synthetic, of low cost and produced with more automated methods, it led the inventor, with notorious sector knowledge, to create and develop the object of the present patent, entitled "PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING COATING FOR VESSEL FLOOR AND RESPECTIVE COATING" which conceives a process associated with the product in which a blanket or plate of polymeric material of significant thickness is submitted to a milling process in a router equipment, in order to that gaps are produced on the surface of the material, in order to imitate strips of wood, where later these gaps are filled with convenient caulking, whose final product imitates a wooden floor, however, much more accessible and resistant to maritime weather.

The coating produced with synthetic materials such as PVC laminates undergoes a notching process (engrave) for subsequent caulking of the removed area.

The synthetic product for coating boats has numerous advantages, among which the fact that it is removable, does not stain, is more resistant, can be produced in one piece, is lighter and more flexible, does not spread fungi or rot, besides being obtained from recycled products, making it an option for a boat or sailboat to gain much more comfort and style. The polymeric coating, now in question, can be applied to the entire floor of the vessel, including bow, stern, aft square. Command / cockpit, access steps and interior.

Thus, the present patent was designed to obtain a process to produce nautical lining, conveniently configured and arranged to perform its functions with unmatched efficiency and versatility, without the aforementioned inconveniences.

Detailed description of the invention

In accordance with what the above figures illustrate, the "PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING COATING FOR BOARD FLOORS AND THEIR COATING", conceives a process associated with a synthetic product for coating external or internal surfaces, passable and non-passable areas of vessels which resembles a slatted coating, that is, with spaced and caulked rulers at the junction points that can even form different mosaics, symbols, logos and even texts, among other possible designs, developed in computer graphics.

The vessel floor covering (6) comprises a covering made from a plate or blanket (2) of polymeric material of small thickness, which is subjected to a milling process (3) to form spans (4) of different contours, as if they were independent pieces.

The spans (4) formed can determine an aspect of parallel strips as a deck, or any other piece or design of logo, brand, name, frame, or other design contour developed in computer graphics.

The gaps (4) are filled with adhesive or junction caulk (5), liquid, pasty, solid or in bulk, the area formed after the surface finish by sanding and / or polishing, is used to coat any surface of the vessel.

The vessel floor covering (6) can be overlaid on the entire floor of the vessel, including bow, stern, aft square, control / cockpit, access steps and interior. «

The process for the production of the vessel liner (1) has the following steps:

1. a - Formation of the laminate by melting virgin and / or recycled polymeric material in an extruder for subsequent passage through the calender cylinders, obtaining the sheet, blanket or plate of significant thickness.
2. b - Preparation of the design on the computer, in order to send it to the milling router. The design is based on the intended outline for the floor or area to be covered on the boat, whose mold is digitized, by scanner or camera, in order to define its final design layout, such as dimensions of the piece, format, inclusion vessel name, width of the "boards", width of the edge, etc.
3. c - The blanket, plate or sheet made of polymeric material is positioned on the milling router, with the drawing program already defined, where then the spans and assembly pieces of the final layout are produced.
4. d - The blanket, plate or sheet of polymeric material processed in the router is positioned in another suitable plane so that its surface is isolated by means of tape or adhesive film, except for the gaps produced by the router.
5. and - The gaps limited by the adhesive tape or film are filled with liquid, pasty, solid (solder bead) or bulk adhesive or caulking, with the necessary waiting for drying.
6. f - The adhesive tape or film is removed and the entire surface of the produced part is sanded and / or polished and / or textured by different abrasive materials, such as sandpaper and the like.

This patent descriptive report. dealt with an innovative process associated with a coating product applied to vessels that presents, as can be evidenced by the analyzes carried out and the figures shown, countless differences on the production processes for coatings for vessels existing on the market, in addition to constructive and functional technical characteristics completely different from those pertinent to the state of the art.

For the advantages it offers, and also because it has truly innovative characteristics that fulfill all the requirements of novelty and originality in the genre, the present "PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF COATING FOR VESSEL FLOOR AND RESPECTIVE COATING" brings together necessary and sufficient conditions to deserve the privilege of invention.
