DE202006008100U1 - Support structure for stone/ceramic materials, in wall claddings or floors or steps, has a stone support plate incorporating carbon or stone fibers - Google Patents

Abstract

The structure to stabilize natural or synthetic stone and ceramic materials, against distortion through temperature shifts, has a carrier for a thin stone plate which is also of a stone material. The carrier includes carbon fibers or stone fibers to give a natural stabilizing action. The stabilizing effect is transferred to a surface of the stone material or into it wholly or partially.

Description

The The present invention relates to the stabilization of stone-like Material that includes natural stone, artificial stone and other stone-like Material such as earthenware, as well as ceramics to glass-containing substances. Here are natural stones such as granite, granite-like Rocks such as gneiss, marble, limestone, high-strength modern ceramics, glass-ceramic or to mention glass, and all other stone or ceramic materials, more natural Kind or artificial produced.

Such materials should with the help of in EP 1062092 stabilized earthenware carrier to avoid a thermally induced deformation.

The present invention thus proposes a way of using thin stone slabs or ceramics as with the aid of in EP 1062093 described wearing Steiningütträgers while doing without a full-surface stabilization with the costly carbon fiber and other zugstabilen fibers. So far has been in EP 1062093 the whole-surface stabilization vo earthenware and thus the stabilization of carbon fiber assemblies, and the production of novel components to the core of the invention, here in contrast stone and stone-like material itself is again worn or stabilized and protected against breakage, without the actual supporting fiber material over the entire surface must be used.

The protection against breakage to be produced in this way relates in particular to thin flagstones, which are being used more and more in the construction sector but also in interior design. Such thin stone and / or natural stone slabs can be used as wall cladding in outdoor and indoor areas, as a floor element or as a work or table top use. The advantage over other reinforcements is that the in EP 1062093 described support the same or at least similar expansion properties, as the stone material to be supported has.

One possible design is a thin stone slab that runs through the sides of the EP 1062093 plastered earthenware carrier is stabilized. These supports can also be mounted, or additionally in the transverse direction, on one side of the flagstone.

A stone plate 1 comes with a stoneware carrier 2 , which is made of stone-like material, stabilized at the edges. These earthenware carriers can also be mounted transversely to the longitudinal direction of the flagstone. ( 1 )

(2) shows another earthenware geometry as a shell around the earthenware carrier 3 that with a stoneware carrier 4 stabilized inside. In this case, the earthenware carrier is completely enclosed by the earthenware and thus forms outwardly a stabilized stone column from the inside.

Claims (13)

Arrangement with a thin plate or other geometry of stone, natural stone, artificial stone, concrete, ceramics, glass-containing material, hereinafter referred to earthenware, characterized in that the earthenware by a "earthenware", which is itself earthenware and its own stabilization carbon fibers or Stiff fibers is stabilized, the stabilization is either applied to the one surface of the earthenware or is partially or completely introduced into the earthenware. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized that the Matrix of the earthenware carrier an epoxy resin, polyester resin, phenolic resin, polyimide resin, cyanate ester resin, Melamine resin, polyurethane resin or silicone resin base has. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized that the Matrix has a ceramic or waterglass base. Arrangement according to claim 1, 2 and 3, characterized that the carrier a mixture of different fiber materials in one layer contains or from several layers, each with different fiber materials consists. Arrangement according to Claims 1 to 4, characterized that the earthenware carrier made of ceramic and carbon fibers. Arrangement according to Claims 1 to 5, characterized that this Fiber matrix of the earthenware carrier Completely made of carbon fiber or stone fiber. Arrangement according to Claims 1 to 5, characterized that in an additional one Stoneware backing an aramid fiber or glass or S-glass fiber, silk spider fiber, a stone fiber or a mixture thereof is contained. Arrangement according to claim 1 to 7, characterized that this Component as a floor or support in houses is installed. Arrangement according to claim 1 to 7, characterized that this Component as a wall cladding in the construction sector, as a floor tile or step is appropriate. Arrangement according to claim 1 to 7, characterized that the Gesamtverbund represents a worktop or table top. Arrangement according to claim 1 to 10, characterized in that the component additionally by another layer in the form of an egg box geometry or other sandwich insert, as in EP 1062093 described, or by other lightweight materials such as pressure-resistant foams or woods, especially balsa wood, is space-filling stabilized. Arrangement according to claim 1 to 11, characterized that this Component regarding the mixture of fiber type, their orientation and matrix so adjusted that will happen specifically sets both a positive or negative total expansion coefficient. Arrangement according to claim 12, characterized that the Coefficient of expansion of the earthenware carrier, on one side of the Stone slab or Steinput other geometry is attached, in dependence of the thickness and material of the stoneware is set so negative, that too on the side facing away from the wearer surface of the stone to be supported such a bias exists, which protects the stone from bending in front of the gap opening on the surface.
