Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tisch- oder Abdeckplatte mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a table or cover plate with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Bei Platten der vorgenannten Art hat der Kantenschutz mehrere Funktionen: Zum einen soll er die Kanten gegen mechanische Beschädigung, zum anderen den Benutzer vor Verletzungen schützen. Besteht die Kernplatte aus einem Holzwerkstoff, sollen ferner die offenporigen Schnittkanten der Kernplatte gegen Verschmutzungen und Feuchtigkeitszutritt geschützt werden. Schließlich soll der Kantenschutz die Griffigkeit der Platte und damit auch die Handhabbarkeit und Transportfähigkeit eines mit der Platte versehenen Möbels oder Küchengerätes, z.B. Tisch, Kühlmöbel, Waschmaschine, Wäschetrockner oder dergleichen, erleichtern. Dem letztgenannten Zweck dient die weiterhin häufig anzutreffende Maßnahme, den Kantenschutz über die Unterseite der Platte hinaus zu verlängern, so daß die Platte sicher untergriffen werden kann. Bei Küchengeräten, bei denen die Abdeckplatte vornehmlich als Abstell- und Arbeitsfläche dient, wird mit dem nach unten gezogenen Kantenschutz das Ziel verfolgt, den Spalt zwischen der Platte und dem Gerätegehäuse abzudecken. Auch sind in diesem Fall an der Unterseite der Platte häufig Funktionsteile, wie Hülsen, Clips und dergleichen aus Kunststoff angespritzt, mittels der die Platte am Gerätegehäuse befestigt ist. Auch diese Funktionsteile werden durch den Kantenschutz verdeckt.Edge protection is used for panels of the aforementioned type several functions: on the one hand it should have the edges against mechanical damage, on the other protect the user from injury. Does it exist Core plate made of a wood material, should also open-pore cut edges of the core plate against contamination and moisture ingress are protected. After all, the edge protection is supposed to improve the grip of the Plate and thus also the manageability and portability a piece of furniture provided with the plate or kitchen appliance, e.g. Table, fridge, washing machine, Tumble dryer or the like, facilitate. It continues to serve the latter purpose frequently measure to be found, the edge protection over the Extend the underside of the plate so that the Plate can be safely accessed. For kitchen appliances, where the cover plate primarily as Storage and work area is used with the the edge protector drawn below pursues the goal that Gap between the plate and the device housing cover. Also in this case are at the bottom often functional parts such as sleeves, clips and the plate the like molded from plastic, by means of which Plate is attached to the device housing. This too Functional parts are covered by the edge protection.

Der Kantenschutz besteht aus einem mechanisch ausreichend stabilen und gegen mehr oder minder aggressive Medien sowie gegen Bewitterung beständigen Kunststoff. Dieser Kunststoff wird in einem Spritzgußwerkzeug, in das die vorgefertigte Kernplatte mit der ein- oder beidseitigen Deckschicht eingelegt wird, auf die offenporigen Schnittkanten der Kernplatte aufgespritzt, so daß der Kunststoff in die Poren eindringt und der Kantenschutz mit der Kernplatte verzahnt wird. Zugleich übergreift der Kantenschutz zumindest die Oberseite der Kernplatte. Damit ergibt sich eine feste und zugleich dichte Verbindung von Kantenschutz und Kernplatte. Es ist ferner bekannt, den Kantenschutz in einem gesonderten Arbeitsgang zu fertigen, z.B. durch Spritzgießen oder durch Extrudieren eines leistenartigen Profils, und in einem weiteren Arbeitsgang durch Kleben mit der Kernplatte zu verbinden.The edge protection consists of a mechanical sufficiently stable and against more or less aggressive media and resistant to weathering Plastic. This plastic is in an injection mold, in which the prefabricated core plate with the cover layer is inserted on one or both sides, sprayed onto the open-pore cut edges of the core plate, so that the plastic penetrates into the pores and the edge protection is interlocked with the core plate. At the same time, the edge protection at least overlaps the Top of the core plate. This results in a fixed one and at the same time tight connection of edge protection and Core plate. It is also known to edge protection in to produce a separate operation, e.g. by Injection molding or by extruding a strip-like Profiles, and in a further step Glue to connect to the core plate.

Das bekannte Anspritzen des Kantenschutzes an der Kernplatte hat den Vorteil, daß sich die angestrebten Funktionen in kostengünstiger Weise erreichen lassen. Von Nachteil ist die Tatsache, daß sich der Kantenschutz nachträglich nicht mehr lösen läßt. Dieses Problem stellt sich aus Umweltschutzgründen dann, wenn die Tischplatte oder Abdeckplatte, gegebenenfalls auch das durch sie konfektionierte Möbel beschädigt oder in anderer Weise wertlos oder unbrauchbar geworden ist und der Abfallverwertung zugeführt werden soll oder aber eine Rücknahmeverpflichtung des Herstellers besteht -eine solche ist z.B. bei Kühlmöbeln vorgesehen- der dann für die Entsorgung und gegebenenfalls Wiederverwertung zu sorgen hat. Es ist dann insbesondere eine Trennung nach Materialien notwendig, so daß es bei Abdeckplatten bzw. Tischplatten wünschenswert ist, den Kantenschutz mit seinem relativ hohen Kunststoffanteil, der im übrigen wiederverwertbar ist, von der Kernplatte ganz oder doch wenigstens größtenteils trennen zu können.The well-known injection molding of the edge protection The core plate has the advantage that the desired Allow functions to be achieved in a cost-effective manner. A disadvantage is the fact that the Edge protection can no longer be released afterwards. This The problem arises for environmental reasons then when the table top or cover plate, if necessary also the furniture made up by them damaged or otherwise worthless or has become unusable and waste recycling should be supplied or a take-back obligation the manufacturer exists - such is e.g. In the case of refrigerators, this is then for disposal and ensure recycling if necessary Has. Then there is especially a separation after Materials necessary so that there are cover plates or table tops is desirable, the edge protection with its relatively high proportion of plastic, which, by the way is recyclable, from the core board entirely or at least for the most part.

Dies ermöglicht die bekannte Ausführungsform nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 (EP 0 555 738 A1) dadurch, daß der Kantenschutz aus zwei, als geschlossene Rahmen gespritzen Winkelprofilen besteht, von denen ein äußerer Rahmen mit einem langen Schenkel die Schnittflächen der Kernplatte abdeckt und deren Unterseite überragt und mit seinem anderen Schenkel die Oberseite übergreift, während der andere, innere Rahmen mit seinem einen Schenkel der Innenseite des langen Schenkels des äußeren Rahmens an dessen die Unterseite überragenden Bereich und mit seinem anderen Schenkel der Unterseite der Kernplatte anliegt, und daß nach Einlegen der Kernplatte in den äußeren Rahmen, beide Rahmen an ihren einander anliegenden Schenkeln miteinander verbunden sind.This enables the known embodiment according to the preamble of claim 1 (EP 0 555 738 A1) in that the edge protection from two, as closed frames injection molded angle profiles consists of an outer frame with a long Leg covers the cut surfaces of the core plate and its underside overhangs and with its other Leg overlaps the top while the other, inner frame with one leg of the inside of the long leg of the outer frame whose area projects beyond the underside and with his other leg the bottom of the core plate is present, and that after inserting the core plate in the outer frames, both frames at their each other adjacent legs are connected to each other.

Die beiden geschlossenen Rahmen aus Winkelprofilen lassen sich in einfacher Weise durch Spritzgießen herstellen und weisen damit eine ausreichend formstabile Ausbildung auf. Die vorgefertigte Kernplatte kann von oben in den auf seinem kurzen Schenkel liegenden, äußeren Rahmen eingelegt werden, so daß sie mit ihrer Oberseite auf der Innenseite dieses Schenkels des Winkelprofils aufliegt, während der andere längere Schenkel nach oben ragt. Anschließend wird der innere Rahmen bei etwa paralleler Anordnung mit dem äußeren Rahmen von oben auf die Unterseite der Kernplatte aufgebracht, bis sein einer Schenkel der Unterseite der Kernplatte aufliegt. Durch Verbinden der einander anliegenden Schenkein ist ein geschlossenes rahmenartiges Gebilde gegeben, das die Kernplatte vollständig umgibt, deren gegebenenfalls offenporige Schnittflächen abdeckt und die Kanten der Kernplatte ober- und unterseitig übergreift, so daß die Schnittflächen gegen Zutritt von Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit wirksam geschützt sind. Damit ergibt sich ein ebenso funktionsgerechter Aufbau wie bei einem aufgespritzten Kantenschutz. Auf der anderen Seite ist es aber ohne weiteres möglich, den Kantenschutz mit geringem Kraftaufwand von der Kernplatte zu entfernen und diese beiden Komponenten sortenrein zu gewinnen, da es an einer stoffschlüssigen bzw. -bei aufgespritztem Kantenschutz- innigen Verbindung von Kanteschutz und Kernplatte fehlt.The two closed frames made of angle profiles can be easily molded by injection molding manufacture and thus have a sufficiently dimensionally stable Training on. The prefabricated core plate can from above into the lying on his short thigh, outer frame are inserted so that they with their Top on the inside of this leg of the Angle profile rests while the other is longer Thigh protrudes. Then the inner one Frame in approximately parallel arrangement with the outer Frame from above onto the bottom of the core plate applied until one leg of the bottom of the Core plate rests. By connecting the adjacent ones Schenkein is a closed frame-like Formation given that the core plate completely surrounds their possibly open-pored cut surfaces covers and the edges of the core plate top and overlaps on the underside so that the cut surfaces against Access to dirt and moisture effectively protected are. This results in an equally functional Construction like a sprayed-on edge protection. On on the other hand, it is easily possible the edge protection with little effort from the Remove core plate and these two components to be sorted by type, as it is a cohesive or -with sprayed-on edge protection-intimate connection of edge protection and core plate is missing.

Die bekannte Platte hat dann, wenn sie als Abdeckplatte für Haushaltsmaschinen und -geräte außer einer Feuchtigkeitsbelastung auch einer thermischen Belastung ausgesetzt ist, gewisse Nachteile. Es kann insbesondere zum Verwölben der Platte, aber auch zu Beschädigungen des Kantenschutzes kommen. Dies gilt insbesondere für Abdeckplatten von Waschmaschinen, Spülmaschinen, Trocknern oder dergleichen.The known plate has when used as a cover plate for household machines and appliances except one Moisture load also a thermal load exposed to certain disadvantages. In particular, it can to warp the plate, but also to Damage to the edge protector. This applies in particular to cover plates of washing machines, Dishwashers, dryers or the like.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die zuvor beschriebene bekannte Platte dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß sie bei ausreichendem Feuchtigkeitsschutz thermischen Belastungen beschädigungsfrei standhält.The invention has for its object the above to further develop the known disk described, that they have adequate moisture protection withstands thermal loads without damage.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention through the characteristic features of claim 1 solved.

Bei der erfindungemäßen Ausbildung ist zunächst zwischen dem den Kantenschutz bildenden Rahmen und den seitlichen Stirnflächen der Kernplatte ein Spalt vorhanden, der als Dehnungsspalt dient. Dieser Spalt gibt der Platte beim Dehnen aufgrund einer Temperaturwechselbeanspruchung einen ausreichenden Spielraum für Dehnungsbewegungen in der Plattenebene. Die Platte ist also durch den Kantenschutz nicht fest eingespannt. Sie kann sich folglich nicht verwölben. Ebenso wenig wird der Kantenschutz durch die Dehnungsbewegungen der Platte beansprucht, so daß es weder zu Beschädigungen an der Platte, noch am Kantenschutz kommen kann. Andererseits wird mit der Dichtung, die zwischen dem die Oberseite der Kernplatte übergreifenden Schenkel des äußeren Rahmens und der Kernplatte angeordnet ist, der Zutritt von Feuchtigkeit, die sich vornehmlich an der Oberseite der Kernplatte, die die Arbeitsfläche bildet, ansammelt, verhindert.In the inventive training is first between the frame forming the edge protection and the lateral end faces of the core plate a gap available, which serves as an expansion gap. That gap gives the plate when stretching due to a change in temperature sufficient scope for expansion movements in the plate plane. The edge protection means that the plate is not firm clamped. As a result, it cannot warp. The edge protection is also not caused by the stretching movements the plate claimed so that it neither damage to the plate nor to the edge protection can come. On the other hand, with the Seal between the the top of the outer plate overlapping the core plate Frame and the core plate is arranged, the access of moisture that is primarily on the top the core plate that forms the work surface, prevented.

Entsprechend ist auch zwischen dem die Unterseite der Kernplatte übergreifenden Schenkel des inneren Rahmens und dieser Unterseite eine Dichtung angeordnet, so daß jeglicher Feuchtigkeitszutritt zu den Schnittflächen der Kernplatte wirksam verhindert ist. Dabei ist weiterhin vorgesehen, daß der Schenkel des äußeren bzw. inneren Rahmens an der der Kernplatte zugekehrten Seite eine umlaufende Vertiefung zur Aufnahme der Dichtung aufweist.Correspondingly, the underside is also between the of the inner plate overlapping the core plate Frame and this underside a seal arranged so that any moisture access to the Cut surfaces of the core plate is effectively prevented. It is also provided that the Leg of the outer or inner frame on the a circumferential depression on the side facing the core plate has to accommodate the seal.

Mit dieser Ausbildung ist es möglich, daß die elastische Dichtung die entsprechende Oberfläche des Schenkels nur wenig überragt, um eine ausreichende Dichtwirkung zu erzielen, andererseits liegt der Schenkel so eng an der Kernplatte an, daß Schmutz, Staub oder dergleichen nicht zwischen Schenkel und Kernplatte eindringen kann.With this training it is possible that the elastic Seal the appropriate surface of the Thighs towered just a little to provide adequate To achieve a sealing effect, on the other hand is the leg so close to the core plate that dirt, dust or the like not between the leg and core plate can penetrate.

Die hier in Rede stehenden Haushaltsmaschinen, wie Spülmaschinen, Waschmaschinen oder Trockner weisen ein thermisch isoliertes Gehäuse auf. Die Erfindung gibt die Möglichkeit, auf die Isolation des Gehäuses im oberen Bereich teilweise oder ganz zu verzichten und stattdessen die Abdeckplatte unterhalb der Kernplatte mit einer entsprechenden Isolationsplatte zu versehen, die die thermische Isolierung nach oben übernimmt. Diese plattenförmige Isolation kann auf die Kernplatte beispielsweise aufgeklebt sein.The household machines in question here, such as dishwashers, washing machines or dryers have a thermally insulated housing. The invention gives the possibility of isolating the housing partially or completely in the upper area dispense with the cover plate below the core plate with a corresponding insulation plate to provide the thermal insulation after above takes over. This plate-shaped insulation can be glued to the core plate, for example.

Die Dichtung kann entweder in die Vertiefung eingespritzt oder als bandförmige Dichtung eingeklebt sein.The seal can either be injected into the recess or glued in as a band-shaped seal his.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß der innere Rahmen einen sich über die gesamte Höhe der Schnittfläche der Kernplatte erstrekkenden Schenkel aufweist, der der Unterseite des die Oberseite der Kernplatte übergreifenden Schenkels des äußeren Rahmens anliegt und der den Spalt an seiner einen Seite begrenzt.According to a further embodiment, that the inner frame unites over the entire height of the cut surface of the core plate Has leg of the bottom of the Top of the core plate overlapping leg of the outer frame and the gap on his limited one side.

Auf diese Weise ergibt sich ein außerordentlich stabiler Kantenschutz, der zudem den notwendigen Dehnungspalt zwischen sich und der Kernplatte beläßt.This results in an extremely stable Edge protection, which also has the necessary expansion gap between themselves and the core plate.

Dabei kann die Ausbildung so getroffen sein, daß der sich über die Schnittfläche der Kernplatte erstrekkende Schenkel des inneren Rahmens bis zur Unterkante des längeren Schenkels des äußeren Rahmens reicht und mit diesem über den weiteren Schenkel verbunden ist.The training can be such that which extends over the cut surface of the core plate Leg of the inner frame to the bottom edge of the longer leg of the outer frame is enough and connected to it via the other leg is.

Die beiden den Kantenschutz bildenden Winkelprofile sind bei der vorgenannten Ausführungsform zu einem geschlossenen Rahmen mit außenseitig glatter Oberfläche verbunden.The two angle profiles forming the edge protection are in the aforementioned embodiment a closed frame with smoother on the outside Surface connected.

Der Spalt zwischen Kernplatte und innerem Rahmen kann an den jeweiligen Bedarfsfall angepaßt werden. Dabei empfiehlt sich als Minimalmaß eine Spaltbreite von allseitig wenigstens 0,5mm. Mit diesem Spalt können natürlich auch Fertigungstoleranzen zwischen Kantenschutz und Kernplatte ausgeglichen werden.The gap between the core plate and the inner frame can be adapted to the respective need. A minimum is recommended here Gap width of at least 0.5 mm on all sides. With this Of course, there can also be manufacturing tolerances between Edge protection and core plate are balanced.

Nachstehend ist die Erfindung anhand einiger in der Zeichnung wiedergebener Ausführungsbeispiele beschrieben, die in den Figuren 1 und 2 einen Schnitt durch den Kantenschutz und durch die abgebrochen dargestellte Kernplatte zeigt.Below is the invention based on some in the drawing of exemplary embodiments shown described, a section in Figures 1 and 2 through the edge protection and through the broken off core plate shown shows.

Die Abdeck- oder Tischplatte weist in sämtlichen Ausführungsformen eine Kernplatte 1 aus einem Holzwerkstoff auf, die zumindest an ihrer Oberseite 2 gegebenenfalls auch an ihrer Unterseite 3 mit einer feuchtigkeitsdichten Deckschicht versehen ist, während die Schnittflächen 4 offen sind und in der Regel eine porige Oberfläche besitzen. Ferner weist die Platte einen Kantenschutz 5 auf, der die Schnittflächen 4 abdeckt und zugleich die Kernplatte 1 an der Oberseite 2 und der Unterseite 3 übergreift und zusätzlich zur Schutzfunktion den Zutritt von Feuchtigkeit zur Schnittfläche verhindert.The cover or table top points in all Embodiments of a core plate 1 made of a wood material on the at least on its top 2 if necessary also on its bottom 3 with a moisture-proof top layer is provided while the cut surfaces 4 are open and usually one have porous surface. The plate also has an edge protector 5 on, which covers the cut surfaces 4 and at the same time the Core plate 1 on top 2 and bottom 3 overlaps and in addition to the protective function, access from Prevents moisture from being cut.

Bei allen Ausführungsbeispielen besteht der Kantenschutz aus einem äußeren Rahmen 6 und einem inneren Rahmen 7, die jeweils aus einem Winkelprofil bestehen. Beide Rahmen sind getrennt durch Spritzgießen hergestellt. Der äußere Rahmen 6 weist einen kurzen Schenkel 8 und einen langen Schenkel 9 auf. Mit dem Schenkel 8 übergreift der äußere Rahmen 6 die Oberseite 2 der Kernplatte 1, während der längere Schenkel 9 die Unterseite 3 der Kernplatte 1 nach unten überragt. Der innere Rahmen 7 weist einen der Unterseite 3 der Kernplatte 1 anliegenden kurzen Schenkel 12 und einen weiteren Schenkel 11 auf, mit dem er mit dem längeren Schenkel 9 des äußeren Rahmens 6 verbunden ist. beispielsweise durch Schweißen. Kleben oder dergleichen. Schließlich weist der innere Rahmen 7 einen Schenkel 13 auf. der sich über die Höhe der Schnittfläche 4 der Kernplatte 1 erstreckt.The edge protection exists in all of the exemplary embodiments from an outer frame 6 and one inner frame 7, each of an angular profile consist. Both frames are separated by injection molding manufactured. The outer frame 6 has a short Leg 8 and a long leg 9 on. With the leg 8 overlaps the outer frame 6 Top 2 of the core plate 1, while the longer one Leg 9 the bottom 3 of the core plate 1 down surmounted. The inner frame 7 has one of the bottom 3 of the core plate 1 adjacent short legs 12 and another leg 11, with which he with the longer leg 9 of the outer frame 6 connected is. for example by welding. glue or similar. Finally, the inner frame points 7 a leg 13. which is about the amount of Section 4 of the core plate 1 extends.

Zwischen dem Schenkel 13 und der Schnittfläche 4 der Kernplatte ist ein Spalt 10 vorhanden, der als Dehnungsspalt für die Kernplatte 1 dient. Dieser Spalt sollte an wenigstens zwei benachbarten Schnittflächen der Kernplatte 1 vorhanden sein, kann gegebenenfalls aber auch umlaufend sein.Between the leg 13 and the cut surface 4 there is a gap 10 in the core plate which acts as an expansion gap serves for the core plate 1.
