Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Möbelplatte.The present invention relates to a furniture panel.

Insbesondere dünne Massivholzwerkstoffe aber auch andere Holzwerkstoffe haben die Eigenschaft, dass sie bei Feuchtigkeitseinwirkung bzw. Feuchtigkeitsveränderungen eine geringe Maßhaltigkeit und des Weiteren eine geringe Formstabilität aufweisen. Dies ist insbesondere bei frei tragenden Konstruktionen, wie Möbeltüren, Auszugsblenden oder Klappen besonders nachteilig und somit unerwünscht. Bereits geringe Formänderungen beeinträchtigen nicht nur den optischen Eindruck, sondern häufig auch die Funktion und führen beispielsweise zu einem unregelmäßigen Verlauf der Frontfugen und gegebenenfalls auch zum Klemmen einzelner Frontteile.Thin solid wood materials in particular, but also other wood materials, have the property that they have a low dimensional stability under the influence of moisture or changes in moisture and furthermore have a low dimensional stability. This is particularly disadvantageous in the case of self-supporting structures such as furniture doors, pull-out panels or flaps and is therefore undesirable. Even small changes in shape not only impair the visual impression, but often also the function and lead, for example, to an irregular course of the front joints and, if necessary, to the clamping of individual front parts.

Ein weiterer Nachteil ist die geringe Eigenstabilität von dünnen Holzwerkstoffen, die jedoch schon ab einer Dicke von 8 bis 20 mm benötigt werden. Denn es besteht ein Bedarf an dünnen Möbelplatten, die derzeit im Trend liegen und dem Zeitgeist eines "Light-Design" gerecht werden.Another disadvantage is the low inherent stability of thin wood-based materials, which are required from a thickness of 8 to 20 mm. Because there is a need for thin furniture panels that are currently trendy and do justice to the zeitgeist of a "light design".

Die Ch 199 387 A offenbart einen armierten Holzkörper mit mehreren Holzschichten, sowie mit mehreren zwischen den Holzschichten liegenden Metallschichten, die als Armatur dienen.Zwischen den Holzschichten und den Metalschichten sind fasernschichten angeordnet.Ch 199 387 A discloses a reinforced wooden body with several layers of wood, as well as with several metal layers lying between the wood layers, which serve as a fitting. Fiber layers are arranged between the wood layers and the metal layers.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine dünne Möbelplatte bereitzustellen, die eine hohe Maßhaltigkeit und eine hohe Formstabilität bei Einfluß von Feuchtigkeit und Temperaturschwankungen aufweist.The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a thin furniture panel which has high dimensional stability and high dimensional stability under the influence of moisture and temperature fluctuations.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Möbelplatte mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a furniture panel with the features of claim 1.

Danach ist vorgesehen, dass die Möbelplatte wenigstens eine Trägerplatte aufweist sowie zwei Decklagen, die sich beidseitig an die Trägerplatte anschließen. Die Trägerplatte umfasst wenigstens zwei plattenförmige Lagen, die Faserwerkstoff aufweisen, wobei die Trägerplatte ferner einen zwischen diesen Lagen befindlichen Kern aufweist.According to this, it is provided that the furniture panel has at least one carrier panel and two cover layers that connect to the carrier panel on both sides. The carrier plate comprises at least two plate-shaped layers which have fiber material, the carrier plate also having a core located between these layers.

Eine derartig aufgebaute Möbelplatte weist eine hervorragende Maßhaltigkeit und eine hohe Formstabilität bei Einfluß von Feuchtigkeit und Temperaturschwankungen beim täglichen Gebrauch beispielsweise in Wohn-, Küchen- und im Sanitärbereich auf. Die hervorragende Gebrauchstauglichkeit der Möbelplatte ermöglicht die Fertigung eines Baukastensystems mit vielfältigen Einsatzmöglichkeiten, wie beispielsweise Fronten, Borden, Wangen, Abdeckplatten, Arbeits- und Tischplatten, Paneel- und Nischenwänden, Trennwänden, Sitz- und Rückenlehnen für Sitzmöbel wie beispielsweise eine Sitzbank, Sockelverblendungen, Arbeitsbretter, Schneidbretter, Nudelbretter, Messerblöcke und dergleichen.A furniture panel constructed in this way has excellent dimensional stability and high dimensional stability under the influence of moisture and temperature fluctuations during daily use, for example in the living room, kitchen and sanitary area. The outstanding usability of the furniture panel enables the production of a modular system with a wide range of applications, such as fronts, shelves, side panels, cover panels, worktops and table tops, panel and niche walls, partition walls, seat and backrests for seating furniture such as a bench, plinth panels, work boards , Cutting boards, pasta boards, knife blocks and the like.

Die erfindungsgemäße Möbelplatte ist durch Verwendung einer formstabilen und biegesteifen Mittellage bzw. Trägerplatte herstellbar, die beidseitig mit Decklagen verbunden ist..The furniture panel according to the invention can be produced by using a dimensionally stable and rigid central layer or carrier plate, which is connected to cover layers on both sides.

Der Kern kann beispielsweise aus Sperrholz und Kunststoff, wie beispielsweise aus einer durchgefärbten Schichtpressstoffplatte (HPL) bestehen. Auch der Einsatz eingefärbter thermoplastischer oder duroplastischer Kunststoffe ist denkbar.The core can for example consist of plywood and plastic, such as a solid colored laminate (HPL). The use of colored thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics is also conceivable.

Die plattenförmigen Lagen der erfindungsgemäßen Möbelplatte verleihen der der Trägerplatte und damit auch der Möbelplatte eine hervorragende Festigkeit und Beständigkeit gegenüber Umgebungseinflüssen, wie Temperatur, Feuchtigkeit etc.The plate-shaped layers of the furniture panel according to the invention give the carrier panel and thus also the furniture panel excellent strength and resistance to environmental influences such as temperature, humidity, etc.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass Faserwerkstoffe für die plattenförmigen Lagen verwendet werden. Vorzugsweise sind Faserwerkstoffe mit einer Kunststoffmatrix vorgesehen. Für den Faserwerkstoff werden Glasfasern, Kohlefasern, Kunststofffasern, Basaltfasern oder auch mit Epoxidharz grundierte Prepregs oder eine Kobination dieser Werkstoffe verwendet.According to the invention it is provided that fiber materials are used for the plate-shaped layers. Fiber materials with a plastic matrix are preferably provided. Glass fibers, carbon fibers, plastic fibers, basalt fibers or also prepregs primed with epoxy resin or a combination of these materials are used for the fiber material.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass zwei Decklagen vorgesehen sind, die eine identische Dicke aufweisen. Auch ist es möglich, dass die Decklagen eine unterschiedliche Dicke aufweisen. Entsprechendes gilt für die plattenförmigen Lagen, die der Möbelplatte ihre vorteilhaften Eigenschaften verleihen.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that two cover layers are provided which have an identical thickness. It is also possible for the cover layers to have a different thickness. The same applies to the plate-shaped layers that give the furniture plate its advantageous properties.

Die erfindungsgemäße Möbelplatte kann somit gleich dicke oder auch unterschiedlich dicke Decklagen und/oder gleich dicke oder unterschiedlich Dicke plattenförmige Lagen aufweisen.The furniture panel according to the invention can thus have cover layers of the same thickness or different thicknesses and / or plate-like layers of the same thickness or different thickness.

Die erfindungsgemäße Möbelplatte kann symmetrisch als auch asymmetrisch aufgebaut sein.The furniture panel according to the invention can be constructed symmetrically as well as asymmetrically.

Denkbar ist es, dass die zwei Decklagen aus denselben oder auch aus unterschiedlichen Materialien bestehen. Dies gilt für die plattenförmigen Lagen entsprechend.It is conceivable that the two cover layers consist of the same or different materials. This applies accordingly to the plate-shaped layers.

Die genannte Asymmetrie kann beispielsweise jedoch auch darauf beruhen, dass das Material der Decklagen zwar identisch ist, dass die Decklagen jedoch in unterschiedlicher Orientierung aufgebracht sind, so dass beispielsweise im Falle der Verwendung von Holz die Holzmaserung der beiden Decklagen in unterschiedliche Richtungen verläuft.However, the asymmetry mentioned can also be based, for example, on the fact that the material of the cover layers is identical, but that the cover layers are different Orientation are applied, so that, for example, when wood is used, the wood grain of the two top layers runs in different directions.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Decklage aus Massivholz besteht oder Massivholz aufweist. In Betracht kommt beispielsweise die Verwendung von Sägefurnier, Messerfurnier, Schälfurnier oder auch Hobelware.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the cover layer consists of solid wood or has solid wood. For example, the use of sawn veneer, sliced veneer, peeled veneer or planed goods can be considered.

Zwei Decklagen sowie ein Kern sind vorgesehen sein, die aus Holz bestehen oder Holz aufweisen, wobei die Faserrichtung der Decklagen und die Faserrichtungen der Trägerplatte bzw. des Kerns aufeinander senkrecht stehen, so dass eine kreuzweise Orientierung der Faserrichtungen vorliegt.Two cover layers and a core are provided, which consist of wood or have wood, the fiber direction of the cover layers and the fiber directions of the carrier plate or the core being perpendicular to one another, so that there is a crosswise orientation of the fiber directions.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Decklagen aus Stein, Glas, Linoleum, Leder, Papiertapete, Sperrholz, Multiplex, Kork, Textilien oder aus einer Kombination dieser Materialien besteht oder einen dieser Werkstoffe oder eine Kombination dieser Werkstoffe aufweist.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the cover layers consist of stone, glass, linoleum, leather, paper wallpaper, plywood, multiplex, cork, textiles or a combination of these materials or have one of these materials or a combination of these materials.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass die plattenförmigen Lagen mit dem Kern verklebt sind. Als Klebstoffe kommen beispielsweise Epoxidharze, Polyesterharze, Kontaktkleber, Melaminharze, Phenolharze, PVAC und dergleichen in Betracht.Furthermore, it can be provided that the plate-shaped layers are glued to the core. Examples of suitable adhesives are epoxy resins, polyester resins, contact adhesives, melamine resins, phenolic resins, PVAC and the like.

Vorzugsweise ist des Weiteren vorgesehen, dass die Decklagen mit der oder den plattenförmigen Lagen verklebt ist. Die Verklebung der Decklagen erfolgt mit werkstoffspezifischen Klebstoffen. Hier können dieselben Klebstoffe genannt werden, die auch zur Verklebung der plattenförmigen Lagen mit dem Kern eingesetzt werden.It is also preferably provided that the cover layers are glued to the plate-shaped layer or layers. The cover layers are glued with material-specific adhesives. The same adhesives can be mentioned here that are also used for gluing the plate-shaped layers to the core.

Die Dicke der Trägerplatte bzw. Mittellage beträgt vorzugsweise 2 bis 40 mm, besonders bevorzugt 3 bis 15 mm. Die Dicke der Decklage(n) beträgt vorzugsweise 1,5 bis 10 mm und besonders bevorzugt 2 bis 5 mm.The thickness of the carrier plate or middle layer is preferably 2 to 40 mm, particularly preferably 3 to 15 mm. The thickness of the cover layer (s) is preferably 1.5 to 10 mm and particularly preferably 2 to 5 mm.

Die Dicke der gesamten Möbelplatte beträgt vorzugsweise 8 bis 50 mm und besonders bevorzugt 10 bis 20 mm.The thickness of the entire furniture panel is preferably 8 to 50 mm and particularly preferably 10 to 20 mm.

Die Dicke der plattenförmigen Lagen, beispielsweise der Aluminiumplatten, beträgt vorzugsweise 0,3 bis 3 mm und liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich von ca. 0,5 mm. An dieser Stelle sei erwähnt, dass Aluminium als plattenförmiges Material wegen seiner guten Bearbeitbarkeit für die erfindungsgemäße Möbelplatte besonders geeignet ist. Jedoch ist die Erfindung nicht auf die Verwendung von Aluminium beschränkt, wie dies oben näher ausgeführt wurde.The thickness of the plate-shaped layers, for example the aluminum plates, is preferably 0.3 to 3 mm and is preferably in the range of approximately 0.5 mm. At this point it should be mentioned that aluminum is particularly suitable as a plate-shaped material because of its good machinability for the furniture panel according to the invention. However, the invention is not limited to the use of aluminum, as explained in more detail above.

In der Kantenbearbeitung der erfindungsgemäßen Möbelplatte sind alle konventionellen Kanten und Eckengeometrien herstellbar. Im Bedarfsfall kann vorgesehen sein, die Kanten der erfindungsgemäßen Möbelplatte mit einem geeigneten Kantenmaterial zu belegen, um einen erhöhten Kantenschutz zu erreichen. Dies kann insbesondere bei weichen Decklagen, wie Linoleum, angebracht sein. In diesem Fall sind die plattenförmigen Lagen, wie beispielsweise die Aluminiumplatten (Bleche) nicht mehr sichtbar. Jedoch bleibt selbstverständlich die hohe Stabilität der erfindungsgemäßen Möbelplatte erhalten. Diese Möbelplatte ist sowohl für konstruktive sowie auch für dekorative Zwecke einsetzbar.All conventional edges and corner geometries can be produced in the edge processing of the furniture panel according to the invention. If necessary, provision can be made to cover the edges of the furniture panel according to the invention with a suitable edge material in order to achieve increased edge protection. This can be particularly appropriate for soft cover layers such as linoleum. In this case, the plate-shaped layers, such as the aluminum plates (sheets) are no longer visible. However, the high stability of the furniture panel according to the invention is of course retained. This furniture panel can be used for both constructive and decorative purposes.

Selbstverständlich ist von der Erfindung auch umfaßt, dass die Kanten der Möbelplatte nicht mit einem Kantenmaterial belegt sind, d.h. sichtbar sind.Of course, the invention also includes that the edges of the furniture panel are not covered with an edge material, i.e. are visible.

Die Aluminiumplatten 24 weisen jeweils eine Dicke von 0,5 mm auf.The entire furniture panel 10 according to Figure 1 has a thickness of 10.6 mm. The thicknesses of the cover layers 30 and the carrier plate 20 are identical and are 3.2 mm in the exemplary embodiment shown here. The aluminum plates 24 each have a thickness of 0.5 mm.

Die Möbelplatte 10 gemäß der Figuren 1 bis 3 ist derart ausgestaltet, dass die insgesamt drei Schichten 22, 30 sowie die zwei Metalllagen 24 im Kantenbereich sichtbar sind, wodurch sich ein besonders ansprechender optischer Eindruck ergibt.The furniture plate 10 according to the Figures 1 to 3 is designed in such a way that the total of three layers 22, 30 and the two metal layers 24 are visible in the edge area, which results in a particularly appealing visual impression.

Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die plattenförmigen Lagen 22, die in dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel aus Aluminium bestehen, eine hohe Festigkeit und Maßhaltigkeit aufweisen, wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, dass insgesamt eine dünne Möbelplatte 10 bereitgestellt wird, die hervorragende mechanische Eigenschaften aufweist.Due to the fact that the plate-shaped layers 22, which consist of aluminum in the exemplary embodiment shown here, have a high strength and dimensional stability, the possibility is created that a thin furniture plate 10 is provided overall, which has excellent mechanical properties.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht darauf beschränkt, dass die Schichtdicken der Decklagen 30 sowie des Kerns 22 identisch sind, wie dies in Figur 1 dargestellt ist.The present invention is of course not restricted to the fact that the layer thicknesses of the cover layers 30 and of the core 22 are identical, as is shown in FIG. 1.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Möbelplatte 10 mittlerer Dicke mit verschiedenen Schichtdicken. Die Dicken der Decklagen 30 entsprechen denen in Figur 1, jedoch weist die Möbelplatte 10 gemäß Figur 2 eine erheblich dickere Kernschicht 22 auf. In dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beträgt die Dicke der Kernschicht 7,1 mm. Figure 2 shows a furniture panel 10 of medium thickness with different layer thicknesses. The thicknesses of the cover layers 30 correspond to those in FIG Figure 1 , however, the furniture panel 10 according to Figure 2 a significantly thicker core layer 22. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the thickness of the core layer is 7.1 mm.

Die Dicke der Aluminiumplatten beträgt wie auch bei Figur 1 je 0,5 mm.The thickness of the aluminum plates is the same as for Figure 1 0.5 mm each.

Figur 3 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Möbelplatte 10 mit großer Dicke. Die Dicken der Decklagen 30 betragen jeweils 3,5 mm und die Dicke des Kerns 22 beträgt 11 mm. Auch in diesem Fall beträgt die Dicke der Aluminumplatten 0,5 mm. Die Gesamtdicke der Möbelplatte beträgt 19 mm. Figure 3 shows a further embodiment of the furniture panel 10 according to the invention with a large thickness. The thicknesses of the cover layers 30 are 3.5 mm each and The thickness of the core 22 is 11 mm. In this case too, the thickness of the aluminum plates is 0.5 mm. The total thickness of the furniture panel is 19 mm.

Die erfindungsgemäße Möbelplatte weist eine hohe Maßhaltigkeit und eine hohe Formstabilität bei Einfluß von Feuchtigkeit und Temperaturschwankungen auf. Der erfindungsgemäße Aufbau der Möbelplatte ermöglicht es, die Möbelplatte vergleichsweise dünn auszuführen und gleich wohl die genannten positiven mechanischen Eigenschaften zu erhalten. Die erfindungsgemäße Möbelplatte kann beispielsweise als Front, als Bord, als Wange, als Abdeckplatte, als Arbeits- und Tischplatte, als Paneel- und Nischenwand, als Trennwand, als Sitz- und Rückenlehne für Sitzmöbel wie beispielsweise einen Stuhl oder eine Sitzbank, als Sockelverblendungen, als Arbeitsbrett, als Schneidbrett, als Nudelbrett, als Messerblock oder für beliebige andere Funktionsutensilien verwendet werden.The furniture panel according to the invention has high dimensional stability and high dimensional stability under the influence of moisture and temperature fluctuations. The construction of the furniture panel according to the invention makes it possible to make the furniture panel comparatively thin and to maintain the positive mechanical properties mentioned. The furniture plate according to the invention can be used, for example, as a front, as a shelf, as a cheek, as a cover plate, as a worktop and table top, as a panel and niche wall, as a partition, as a seat and backrest for seating furniture, for example a chair or a bench, as plinth covers, can be used as a work board, as a cutting board, as a pastry board, as a knife block or for any other functional utensils.

Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht darauf beschränkt, dass das Kernmaterial aus Holz besteht und die Decklagen ebenfalls aus Holz. Beliebige andere Kombinationen sind ebenfalls denkbar. Die Erfindung ist ebenfalls nicht auf die Verwendung von Aluminium für die plattenförmige Lage beschränkt. Beispielsweise kommen auch Faserwerkstoffe in Betracht, die mit einer Kunststoffmatrix verwendet werden können, wie beispielsweise Glasfasern, Kohlefasern, Kunststofffasern, Basaltfasern, mit Epoxidharz grundierte Prepregs und dergleichen.The present invention is not limited to the fact that the core material is made of wood and the cover layers are also made of wood. Any other combinations are also conceivable. The invention is also not limited to the use of aluminum for the plate-shaped layer. For example, fiber materials that can be used with a plastic matrix, such as, for example, glass fibers, carbon fibers, plastic fibers, basalt fibers, prepregs primed with epoxy resin and the like, are also suitable.

Durch die Verwendung eines Baukastensystems ist eine besonders wirtschaftliche Herstellung der Möbelplatte denkbar, da für unterschiedliche Möbelplatten beispielsweise immer die gleiche Trägerplatte oder beispielsweise immer die gleichen Decklagen bzw. immer die gleichen plattenförmigen Lagen verwendet werden können, so dass sich Kosteneinsparungen ergeben.By using a modular system, a particularly economical production of the furniture panel is conceivable, since the same carrier panel or, for example, always the same cover layers or always the same plate-shaped layers can always be used for different furniture panels, so that cost savings result.
