Abstract

The invention relates to a method of forming a panel built up of stones. The stones are glued together in a desired bond, and a surface of the panel being formed is mechanically worked. The stones are glued together by means of an epoxy resin glue or the like. If desired, the glue can be applied in such a manner that the glue is receded in the joint with respect to the surface in at least one surface of the panel being formed.

Description

  • The invention relates to a method of forming a panel built up of stones, in which the stones are glued together in a desired bond.
  • Such a method can be derived from US Patent No. 4,364,213. With this known method, the surfaces of the stones that will be exposed to view during use of the panel are mechanically worked prior to being glued together for forming a panel. When this method is used, the panel surface that is exposed to view frequently fails to meet the requirements that are made thereon.
  • According to the invention, a surface of the panel being formed is mechanically worked. Generally, the mechanical working of stones that have been joined together to form a panel can be carried out more effectively than the mechanical working of individual stones, whilst in addition the mechanically worked surface of the panel can meet the strictest requirements.
  • According to another aspect of the invention, the panel is sawed through in a plane at least substantially parallel to its upper surface or lower surface so as to form at least two thinner panels, and the surfaces of the thinner panels thus formed can be mechanically worked.
  • Thus it is possible in an economically sound manner to form comparatively thin panels built up of stones, of which at least those surfaces that are exposed to view upon use of the panels are given a desired structure by the aforesaid mechanical working.
  • The invention will be explained in more detail hereinafter with reference to the appended figures.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic side elevation of a mould and of a panel formed by means of said mould.
  • Figure 2 is a side elevation of another embodiment of a mould and a panel formed thereon.
  • Figure 3 is a side elevation of an embodiment of a panel formed in accordance with the method according to the invention.
  • Figure 4 is a side elevation of another embodiment of a panel formed in accordance with the method according to the invention.
  • Figure 5 shows the panel of Figure 4, which has been sawed in two.
  • Figure 6 schematically shows a possibility of mechanically working a panel formed in accordance with the method according to the invention.
  • The mould that is schematically shown in Figure 1 comprises a lower supporting beam 1 and a plate 2 which slopes upwards therefrom. Stones 4 made of a ceramic material are stacked in layers on the beam 1 whilst being supported on the plate 2. An adhesive material 5 in the form of an epoxy resin is applied between the facing boundary surfaces of the stones 4 so as to bond the stones together. All this preferably takes place in a space in which the temperature is at least ± 15 □C. Once the epoxy resin 5 has cured, a strong bond between the stones 4 has been obtained whilst forming the panel 3 as shown in side elevation in Figure 3.
  • In order to maintain the desired spacing between the stones 4 during the forming of the panel 3 and the curing of the epoxy resin 5, spacers (preferably made of plastic material) can be placed between stones 4 positioned above and/or beside each other, which spacers will remain behind in the "glue bed" formed by the epoxy resin 5. In order to prevent the panel 3, in particular the glue 5, from adhering to the plate 2, the plate 2 may be covered with a thin PVC foil.
  • As is shown in Figure 2, a panel 3 may also be built up in a similar manner as described above on a horizontally disposed plate 2' forming a mould which, preferably, will likewise be covered with a thin PVC foil.
  • As furthermore appears from Figures 1-3, the glue 5 may be applied in such an amount that the glue will not extend entirely to the front of the panel 3, shown on the right-hand side in Figure 3, so that the glue 5 forms a receded joint filler. If desired, the joint may be entirely filled with a usual joint mortar, which may or may not be coloured.
  • Also the glue 5 being used may have any desired coloured.
  • Figure 4 shows a panel 3 built up in a similar manner as described above, but in this case the glue 5 that bonds the stones together fills the joints entirely.
  • As is furthermore indicated in a chain-dotted line I-I in Figure 4, a panel 3 thus formed according to the invention can be cut through along a plane extending at least substantially parallel to the front side and the rear side of the panel, so that two thinner panels 3' and 3 " are obtained, as is shown in Figure 5.
  • The use of the existing glued joint of epoxy resin 5 or a similar material between the stones 4 of the panel 3 enables the panel not only to absorb compressive stresses in an effective manner, but it also renders the panel quite capable of absorbing bending stresses and tensile stresses, which prevents the panel from breaking during transport and/or storage. Furthermore, a panel 3 thus obtained, also a thin panel 3', 3" obtained by sawing a panel 3 through, lends itself particularly well for being mechanically worked, as is schematically illustrated for a thin panel 3' in Figure 6.
  • As is shown in said Figure 6, a panel 3 (3') can be placed on a table 6, for example, which is movable, possibly reciprocatingly, as indicated by an arrow A with respect to a grinding disc 7 rotating in the direction indicated by the arrow B during operation for grinding and/or polishing a surface of the panel. If desired, also other directions of working a surface of the panel will be possible, of course.
  • The use of the invention thus makes it possible to erect walls or the like by means of the panels, which walls have a worked surface, which worked surface can generally not be realised with usual walls or the like that have been built up on site.
  • It is furthermore noted that the term stones is understood to include parallelepiped products having the dimensions of the usual stones, such as bricks, that are used in the construction industry for building walls and the like.
