Description
WOODEN NEWEL POST
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a wooden newel post, more particularly to a wooden newel post that is made from S acombinationofhigherandlowerqualitywoodmaterials.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In drawings which illustrate embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 illustrates how a conventional wooden newel post is made from a plurality of wooden boards;
Figure 2 is a schematic view of the conventional wooden newel post;
Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the preferred embodiment of a wooden newel post according to the present invention;
Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the preferred embodiment taken along line 4-4 of Figure 3;
Figure 5 is a schematic view of the wooden newel post of the present invention; and Figure 6 is a perspective view of a rectangular raw post body of the preferred embodiment, illustrating how the wooden newel post is made from the post body.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a conventional wooden newel post 1 is shown to have a height and width, and is formed by interconnecting three wooden boards 101 side-by-side along the width of the wooden newel post 1 to form a rectangular raw post body. Each of the wooden boards 101 is made of higher quality wood, such as oak or maple, and extends the full height of the wooden newel post 1 . The post body is lathed so as to form a contoured upper post section 2, and a lower post section 3 having a rectangular cross-section. The standard specification of the wooden newel post 1 is 43 to 72 inches in height . Higher quality wood materials having no scars, no mineral lines, and having sufficient length are selected to produce the conventional wooden newel post 1.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

According to this invention, a wooden newel post having a height and width comprises an upper newel post section, a lower newel post section, and a decorative lamella layer. The upper newel post section is made of higher quality wood, and has a lower post connecting end. The higher quality wood is selected from the group consisting of oak wood and maple wood. The lower newel post section is made of lower quality wood, and has an upper post connecting end connected to the lower post connecting end of the upper newel post section, and an outer newel post surface. The lower quality wood is selected from the group consisting of rubber wood and pine wood from plantation forests, defective higher quality wood, and high density fiber material. The decorative lamella layer is made of higher quality wood, and is secured to the outer newel post surface of the lower newel post section.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to Figures 3 to 6, the preferred embodiment of a wooden newel post 100 according to the present invention is shown to have a height and width, and comprises an upper newel post section 10, a lower newel post section 20 connected to the upper newel post section 10, and a decorative lamella layer 30 adhered to an outer newel post surface of the lower newel post section 20.
The upper newel post section 10 is made of hard higher quality wood, such as oak wood and maple wood, and extends at least one-half of the full height of the wooden newel post 100. In this embodiment, the upper newel post section 10 extends to approximately two-thirds of the full height of the wooden newel post 100, and has a top end portion 11, a lower post connecting end 12 opposite to the top end portion 11, and a contoured outer newel post surface 13 that extends along the full height of the upper newel post section 10. The upper newel post section 10 includes three wooden boards 14 that are interconnected side-by-side along the width of the wooden newel post 100, such as by gluing, and that extend along the full height of the upper newel post section 10. Lower ends 141 of the wooden boards 14 correspond to the lower post connecting end 12 of the upper newel post section 10.
The lower newel post section 20 is made of lower quality wood, such as rubber wood and pine wood from plantationforests, defective higher quality wood, and high density f fiber material . The lower newel post section 20 has a rectangular cross-section, an upper post connecting end 21, a bottom end portion 22 opposite to the upper post connecting end 21, and an outer newel post surface 23 that extends along the full height of the lower newel post section 20. The lower newel post section 20 includes three wooden boards 24 that are interconnected side-by-side along the width of the wooden newel post 100, such as by gluing, and that extend along the full height of the lower newel post section 20. Upper ends 241 of the wooden boards 24 correspond to the upper post connecting end 21. Each wooden board 24 includes two board sections 24' that are interconnected to each other along the full height of the lower newel post sect ion 20 by means of f finger j oints .
The upper ends 241 of the wooden boards 24 of the lower newel post section 20 and the lower ends 141 of the wooden boards 14 of the upper newel post section 10 are interconnected by means of finger joints, such that the lower newel post section 20 extends continuously from the upper newel post section 10 along the full height of the wooden newel post 100.
The decorative lamella layer 30 includes 2-8mm lamella pieces of the same hard higher quality wood used 5 in the upper newel post section 10, and is adhered securely to the outer newel post surface 23 on four sides of the lower newel post section 20.
Referring to Figure 6, the wooden newel post 100 of this invention is manufactured according to a process that is substantially similar to the conventional one.
Three wooden boards 210 made of higher quality wood are interconnected respectively with three wooden boards 220 made of lower quality wood so as to form a rectangular raw post body 200. The post body 200 is lathed so as to form the contoured outer newel post surface 13 of the upper newel post section 10.
Although the wooden newel post 100 of the present invention conveys a continuous higher quality wood appearance in view of the upper newel post section 10 and the decorative lamella layer 30, as best illustrated in Figures 3 and 5, the lower newel post section 20 covered by the decorative lamella layer 30 can be made of lower quality wood or defective higher quality wood, thereby reducing consumption of higher quality wood material to a minimum.
V,Ihile the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
