- FIG. 30 to the 32 show a perspective view of three different steps of a flat coating process using exemplary embodiments of the decorative elements shown in figures from 27 to 29.
- FIGS. 2A to 2E some possible exemplary embodiments are shown of a flat decorative element 10, according to the present invention. They comprise a decorative layer 11 that in use remains exposed (figure 1) .
- Decorative element 10 according to the invention can be fixed to a support 1 which, during the laying steps, is fixed to the surface to coat, for example by means of nails, screws, glue for the building industry.
- the decorative layer 11 is the upper face of decorative element 10, which is made completely as a plastic resin injection
- the decorative layer 11 is a layer of leather, hide, brick-like material, metal, wood or other construction material, integrated by injection to a plastic resin layer 12, forming element 10.
- Support 1 may have a portion exceeding the decorative element 10 that it has to support.
- the side edges 4 can embrace the side edges 14 of the decorative layer 11 for assisting the approach to other supports 1 (figure 2E) .
- the plastic resin injection 12 can also extend up to surfacing the decorative layer 11 through suitable holes (figures 9-12) .
- decorative element 10 by plastic resin injection is the main aspect of the invention.
- it is a plastic resin of rubber type.
- some moulds are shown to obtain decorative element 10, and described in more detail hereinafter.
- Decorative element 10 has then cooperating means with which it can be coupled to respective cooperating means made on support 1, in order to obtain a mutual engagement.
- support 1 is a plane element having a first face 2 and a second face 3 opposite to the first.
- the first face 2 which is suitable for receiving decorative element 10 has, for example, a single recess 7 (figure 3) , or a plurality of recesses 7 (figures 4, 5A, 5B), each of which is suitable for receiving a projection 16 extending from decorative element 10.
- the surface 2 of support 1 has a projection 6 (figure 6) engageable with a recess 17 of decorative element 10.
- the second face 3 of support 1 in operative conditions remains on the surface to coat and is fixed to it, or snap fitted or connected by means of other systems. This way, a firm fastening is achieved of decorative element 10 to support 1 and then to the surface 50 to coat (figure 8) by a mechanism that can be easily unfastened. This allows extracting quickly decorative element 10 from the relative support 1 to provide a quick change thereof at a desired moment. The removal can be for example carried out by a suction cap.
- Support 1 can be made of plastics whereby, when coupling it to a decorative element 10, the edge of each recess 7 is elastically forced by the corresponding projection 16.
- the projections 6, or 16, depending on whether they are made respectively on support 1 or on decorative element 10, and the respective recesses 17, or 7, may have circular, square, rectangular cross section, etc.
- the number of recesses 7, or 17, can be higher than the number of projections 16, or 6, in order to provide the highest number of possible combinations, for example, to allow an easy matching between support 1 and decorative element 10 when at the border of the surface to coat it is necessary to reduce the size of the decorative elements 10 and of the supports 1 for completing the coating.
- support 1 can be provided on face 2 with a combination of projections 6 and of recesses 7.
- an exemplary embodiment is shown for support 1 where a groove 5 is provided that extends between two edges of support 1 same, for example, two opposite edges, in order to arrange an heating element, for example a tube 20 crossed by heating fluid, made of copper or of plastic material, connected to a heating system, or an electrical resistance, in order to carry out through the coating a ground heating.
- an heating element for example a tube 20 crossed by heating fluid, made of copper or of plastic material, connected to a heating system, or an electrical resistance, in order to carry out through the coating a ground heating.
- the decorative element comprises decorative layer 11 to which a first plastic resin layer 12 is fixed by injection that in turn is fixed to a second plastic resin layer 13 having projections 16 (or alternatively, the recesses), so that it can fit the recesses 7 (or alternatively, the projections), with which support 1 is equipped on the surface facing it.
- the first resin layer 12 is of plastic material, made by injection or other equivalent process and of different type with respect to the second layer 13.
- first resin layer 12 to use a material much more resilient capable of adapting better to the surface of the leather layer 11, smoothing the irregularity, and to use as second layer 13 a plastic resin with higher stiffness, much more suitable for making the elements of mutual engagement 6 and 17 so that they can be easily coupled.
- the projection 16 has substantially a X ⁇ mushroom"-like shape, comprising a base 31, constrained directly to the resin layer 12 of decorative element 10, and a head 32, suitable for a snap engagement with the relative recess 7 of support 1, by forcing elastically its side ends.
- a frame 15 can be made separately (figures from 18 to 20) made of stiff material with the above described mushroom-like elements 16, already incorporated thereon, suitable for being made separately and then coupled with precision in support 1. Then, the layer of plastic resin 12 made by injection is fixed to the frame 15 and to the possible decorative layer 11, forming a decorative element 10 as shown in figures 18 and 20. It is particularly advantageous, for simplicity of production and safety of matching, that it is removable in a way extremely practical and easy. In figures from 21 to 24 moulds 80 are shown for plastic resin injection used to obtain some different
- FIG. 21 ⁇ exemplary embodiments of decorative element 10.
- the mould of figure 21 is used to obtain a decorative element 10 having only one layer of plastic resin, similar to that of figures 2A and 2B.
- the addition in the mould 80 is shown of decorative layer 11 of figures 2C-2E, for fixing it to the resin layer 12 and to the cooperating means during the plastic injection moulding process that makes decorative element 10.
- a mould 80 is shown in which frame 15 is arranged, having projections 16, to which the resin layer 12 is fixed during the plastic injection (for example as in figure 17) .
- FIG 24 a mould is shown with frame 15 and decorative layer 11 ready for injection of the resin 12 that keeps them united to obtain the decorative element of figures 18 and 20.
- FIGS 25 and 26 cross sectional views are shown of other possible exemplary embodiments of a flat decorative layer 1, according to the present invention. They comprise a support 101 that is connected to the floor to coat, for example by means of screws, nails, glue for the building industry or the like. Opposite to the floor the support 101 is fixed to an interposition layer 120 through mutual engagement means 112 and 122 that steady lock it by a fixed releasable joint.
- the interposition layer 120 provides one or more projections 122 at the surface 125 that faces support 101. The or each projection 122 engages then with respective housings 112 made on the upper surface of the support 101.
- Interposition layer 120 furthermore, at the upper surface 125 has reference pins 121 that assist the eventual arrangement of decorative layers 110.
- Each decorative layer 110 in fact, at the lower surface 113 has one or more holes 112 that accommodate reference pins 121 in order to guide the arrangement of decorative layer 110 same in a correct position with respect to the interposition layer 120 and then to the support 101.
- recesses 112 can be holes (figure 25) or elongated holes (figure 29) .
- the reference means 121 and 112 have then the function to assist the arrangement of the coating layer 110.
- the coating layer 110 is then connected, to the interposition layer 120 by means of glue for building industry 150 previously mounted on the upper surface 126 of the interposition layer 120 same (figure 28) .
- Both support 101 and interposition layer 120 are made of plastic resin, for example ABS, by injection moulding. This assists the laying steps of the coating on the surface 50 and saves costs with respect to traditional techniques.
- the above structure provides lining surfaces 50, for example leather, ceramic, marble, etc. even with decorative layers 110 of high size (figures 28 and 29) .
- the decorative layers 110 of high size in fact, cannot be processed in common industrial machines used in the building industry for applying layers of plastic material to a coating surface of different material, in order to fix the decorative layers to supports connected to the surface to coat.
