Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sheet-like structural element according to claim 1, a method for flexibilizing a sheet-like structural element according to claim 7, the use of the sheet-like structural element in a piece of furniture or a building component according to claim 8 as well as a piece of furniture and a building component used in the construction planar component according to claim 9 or 10.
- Sheet-like components which are made of a wood and / or plastic comprehensive material, usually have a high strength. However, they have the disadvantage that they are stiff and thus are not suitable for applications in which the component should have a certain flexibility.
- a flexible, board-like product described which consists of a Layer of a flexible material and one or two layers of a board-like material is formed.
- the layer of the board-like material is divided into strip-like segments, wherein the incisions between the segments to the layer of the flexible material are continuous.
- a flexibility of the component is particularly desirable in view of the fact that this can be brought into a variety of possible shapes and, if the desired shape is present, can be fixed in this. This is particularly desirable for furniture or furniture components, as there are often curved or curved shapes in these.
- molded bodies on the basis of a material comprising wood and / or plastic can hitherto only be accomplished by means of very complicated procedures.
- wood-based bodies have been made by molding wood fibers, for example.
- An appropriate procedure is approximately in US-B-4702870 disclosed.
- WO02 / 092302 a method for producing a three-dimensionally bendable surface element made of wood, wherein in a workpiece narrow grooves are introduced and subsequently a portion of the workpiece is separated, so temporarily no solid cohesion of the separated areas by the grooves is present. The areas are then fixed by a cross-bond with each other and / or on a support.
- This method also has the disadvantage that a complex device is required for its implementation.
- further materials for the cross-connection are introduced into the surface element.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device made of a wood and / or plastic comprehensive material that is flexible without the use of an additional material and can be produced very easily.
- the component Due to the profile resulting from the inventive arrangement of the incisions, the component is extremely flexible.
- forms can be formed from the material, which in itself is rigid, which otherwise could only be accomplished by very complicated processes by destroying the natural structure of the wood or by using other materials.
- the starting material is typically a flat wooden plate.
- the device of the present invention also has a sufficiently high strength. It is thus suitable for applications which are exposed to relatively high forces, for example for chairs or benches.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the incisions are continuous in the thickness direction, are not continuous in the transverse direction and extend alternately in the longitudinal direction from opposite side surfaces, wherein two successive incisions in the transverse direction overlap each other. In this embodiment, therefore, all incisions of each one of the two side surfaces go out.
- the arrangement of the incisions results in a meandering profile.
- the flexibility thus obtained is present both in the plane of the planar component and transversely to its plane.
- the element can also be elastically pulled and compressed in the longitudinal direction.
- At least two of the incisions lie on a straight line in the transverse direction, wherein at least one of the incisions does not emanate from either side wall.
- the component has two further, substantially perpendicular to the surfaces and the side surfaces according to claim 1 extending surfaces, in turn, the cuts are defined as defined in claim 1.
- the longitudinal direction corresponds to the first two opposite surfaces of the thickness direction with respect to the second two opposing surfaces and vice versa.
- the surfaces and the side surfaces of the component each run parallel to one another. But it is also grateful that, in particular, the side surfaces at least partially towards each other or run away from each other.
- the longitudinally successive incisions are each equidistant from each other, which causes a uniform flexibility over the entire length of the component is achieved.
- incisions can be made by means of suitable methods that are not straight. Suitable methods for this include cutting by means of a water jet or laser.
- cuts that run perpendicular to the surfaces, cuts are also conceivable that run obliquely with respect to the surfaces.
- the incision length can be the same or different for all incisions. With the same length of all cuts a constant over the entire component flexibility can be achieved. In contrast, a component can be obtained, for example, with a longitudinally successive decreasing or increasing incision length whose flexibility changes successively in the longitudinal direction.
- the component of the present invention is made of wood, which is particularly well suited due to its mechanical properties.
- the component preferably comprises at least three layers of wood arranged one above the other, the incisions extending transversely to the fiber direction of at least one layer of wood.
- Such embodiments due to the structure of the wood, retain substantially higher tensile and compressive forces than those of solid wood.
- an odd number of layers of wood is chosen for this embodiment, so that in an arrangement in which the grain direction of the layers of wood varies in different directions, the grain direction of the two layers of wood forming the surfaces of the element extends in the same direction.
- plastic-comprising materials are also conceivable, for example plastics coated with aluminum, for example those coated with aluminum Trade name Alucobond® or Dibond® distributed composite panels from Alcan Composites.
- At least one side surface of the component has a groove extending in the longitudinal direction. This makes it possible to fix the formed form by means of a profile inserted into the groove.
- the component according to the invention preferably has a groove on both side surfaces.
- the groove is preferably designed such that the inserted profile is securely held. This can preferably be achieved with a dovetail groove.
- a frame profile can be provided, in which the inventive component is used.
- the respective frame sides can be used as described above in foreseen on the side surfaces of the component grooves. It is also conceivable that the component due to its elasticity by force on the frame profile is held in this.
- a desired shape of the component can also be fixed, for example, by casting the incisions with an epoxy resin after the corresponding deformation.
- two or more components each have a spring element with two arranged thereon, positively held in the groove connecting elements, preferably in the form of a dovetail, are interconnected.
- the components of the present invention can also be connected to one another or glued to one another by means of an adhesive. In corner joints these are preferably glued together miter.
- the component of the present invention is particularly suitable for furniture, as these are often sought curved or curved shapes and usually a flexibility of the material is desired. So it is particularly desirable for benches, chairs or loungers that they can adapt their shape to the position of the sitting / lying.
- Other furniture in which the device of the present invention preferably applies, represent screens. It may be desirable that the wood element is used as described above in a dedicated frame profile.
- the components according to the invention can be used as components of a lining for light bodies, for example as part of a cylindrical or cube-shaped lamp.
- the flexibility of the component is preferably maintained, since different light effects can thereby be achieved.
- inventive device for a piece of furniture, they can be used for a variety of applications in construction, such as a component of a wall or ceiling paneling.
- components include acoustic panels, heat exchangers, ventilation cladding or wall panels with backlighting represents.
- the incision width, the incision length and the distance between two successive incisions are suitably selected on the basis of the predetermined dimensions of the component.
- the ratio of the incision length to the distance of the side surfaces is in a range of 6:10 to 9:10, the ratio of the incision width to the thickness of the component in a range of 1:20 to 8: 1, and the ratio of the distance of two in the longitudinal direction successive cuts to the incision width in a range of 1: 3 to 5: 1.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein flächiges Bauelement nach Anspruch 1, ein Verfahren zur Flexibilisierung eines flächigen Bauelements nach Anspruch 7, die Verwendung des flächigen Bauelements in einem Möbel oder einem im Bauwesen verwendeten Bauteil nach Anspruch 8 sowie ein Möbel und ein im Bauwesen verwendetes Bauteil umfassend das flächige Bauelement nach Anspruch 9 bzw. 10.The present invention relates to a sheet-like structural element according to claim 1, a method for flexibilizing a sheet-like structural element according to claim 7, the use of the sheet-like structural element in a piece of furniture or a building component according to
Flächige Bauelemente, die aus einem Holz und/oder Kunststoff umfassenden Material gefertigt sind, verfügen in der Regel über eine hohe Festigkeit. Sie weisen aber den Nachteil auf, dass sie steif sind und somit für Anwendungen, in denen das Bauelement eine gewisse Flexibilität aufweisen soll, nicht geeignet sind.Sheet-like components, which are made of a wood and / or plastic comprehensive material, usually have a high strength. However, they have the disadvantage that they are stiff and thus are not suitable for applications in which the component should have a certain flexibility.
Flexible und in gebogenem Zustand wieder stabilisierbare Bauelemente sind insbesondere für Möbel oder für im Bauwesen verwendete Bauteile sehr oft erwünscht. So ist beispielsweise für temporär aufgestellte Trennwände oder Paravents, die einen einfachen Auf- und Abbau, eine einfache Verstellung der jeweiligen Position und eine platzsparende Lagerung ermöglichen sollen, eine gewisse Flexibilität unerlässlich.Flexible and in the bent state again stabilizable components are very often desirable especially for furniture or components used in construction. For example, a certain degree of flexibility is indispensable for temporarily erected partitions or screens which are intended to enable simple assembly and dismantling, simple adjustment of the respective position and space-saving storage.
Um auf einem steifen Material basierende, flexible Bauelemente zu erhalten, hat man sich bisher damit beholfen, das steife Material mit einem flexiblen Material zu kombinieren.In order to obtain flexible components based on rigid material, it has hitherto been possible to combine the rigid material with a flexible material.
So wird beispielsweise in
Weiter beschreibt
Die bekannten Bauelemente des Standes der Technik haben den Nachteil, dass sie ein zusätzliches Material benötigen, was ihre Herstellung relativ aufwändig macht. Im Weiteren können sich zudem Probleme hinsichtlich des Verbunds des flexiblen Materials mit dem steifen Material oder deren Verträglichkeit untereinander ergeben. Hinzu kommt, dass die Mehrzahl der in Frage kommenden flexiblen Materialien synthetischen Ursprungs ist. Diese kommen somit für Bauelemente, die vollständig aus dem Naturprodukt Holz gefertigt werden sollen, nicht in Frage.The known components of the prior art have the disadvantage that they require additional material, which makes their production relatively complicated. In addition, there may also be problems with regard to the combination of the flexible material with the rigid material or their compatibility with each other. In addition, most of the flexible materials in question are of synthetic origin. These are thus for components that are made entirely from the natural product wood, out of the question.
Eine Flexibilität des Bauelements ist insbesondere auch im Hinblick darauf erwünscht, dass dieses dadurch in eine Vielzahl möglicher Formen gebracht und, wenn die gewünschte Form vorliegt, in dieser fixiert werden kann. Dies ist insbesondere für Möbel oder Möbelbauteile erwünscht, da in diesen oft gebogene oder geschwungene Formen vorliegen.A flexibility of the component is particularly desirable in view of the fact that this can be brought into a variety of possible shapes and, if the desired shape is present, can be fixed in this. This is particularly desirable for furniture or furniture components, as there are often curved or curved shapes in these.
Die Herstellung geformter Körper auf der Grundlage eines Holz und/oder Kunststoff umfassenden Materials lässt sich bisher nur über sehr aufwändige Verfahren bewerkstelligen. So wurden etwa auf Holz basierende Körper beispielsweise durch Formpressen von Holzfasern hergestellt. Ein entsprechendes Verfahren ist etwa in
Nachteilig hierbei ist, dass die natürliche Struktur des Holzes verloren geht. Zudem werden zur Herstellung relativ aufwändige Vorrichtungen benötigt.The disadvantage here is that the natural structure of the wood is lost. In addition, relatively expensive devices are required for the production.
Im Weiteren offenbart
Auch dieses Verfahren weist den Nachteil auf, dass zu dessen Durchführung eine komplexe Vorrichtung benötigt wird. Zudem werden gemäss dem besagten Verfahren zusätzlich zum Ausgangsmaterial weitere Materialen für den Querverbund in das Flächenelement eingeführt.This method also has the disadvantage that a complex device is required for its implementation. In addition, according to the said method, in addition to the starting material, further materials for the cross-connection are introduced into the surface element.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit, ein Bauelement aus einem Holz und/oder Kunststoff umfassenden Material zur Verfügung zu stellen, das ohne die Verwendung eines zusätzlichen Materials flexibel ist und sehr einfach hergestellt werden kann.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device made of a wood and / or plastic comprehensive material that is flexible without the use of an additional material and can be produced very easily.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert.This object is achieved according to the invention by the subject matter of claim 1. Preferred embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.
Aufgrund des aus der erfindungsgemässen Anordnung der Einschnitte resultierenden Profils ist das Bauelement äusserst flexibel. Somit können aus dem an und für sich steifen Material Formen gebildet werden, die sich sonst nur mit sehr aufwändigen Verfahren unter Zerstörung der natürlichen Struktur des Holzes oder unter Verwendung weiterer Materialen bewerkstelligen liessen. Als Ausgangsmaterial dient typischerweise eine ebene Holzplatte.Due to the profile resulting from the inventive arrangement of the incisions, the component is extremely flexible. Thus, forms can be formed from the material, which in itself is rigid, which otherwise could only be accomplished by very complicated processes by destroying the natural structure of the wood or by using other materials. The starting material is typically a flat wooden plate.
Aufgrund des verwendeten Materials weist das Bauelement der vorliegenden Erfindung zudem eine ausreichend hohe Festigkeit auf. Es eignet sich somit für Anwendungen, die relativ hohen Kräften ausgesetzt sind, beispielsweise für Stühle oder Bänke.Due to the material used, the device of the present invention also has a sufficiently high strength. It is thus suitable for applications which are exposed to relatively high forces, for example for chairs or benches.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Einschnitte in Dickenrichtung durchgehend sind, in Querrichtung nicht durchgehend sind und in Längsrichtung abwechslungsweise von gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen ausgehen, wobei jeweils zwei aufeinanderfolgende Einschnitte in Querrichtung miteinander überlappen. In dieser Ausführungsform gehen somit sämtliche Einschnitte von jeweils einer der beiden Seitenflächen aus. Aus der Anordnung der Einschnitte resultiert ein mäanderförmiges Profil. Die dadurch erhaltenen Flexibilität liegt sowohl in der Ebene des flächigen Bauelementes vor als auch quer zu dessen Ebene. Das Element kann zudem in Längsrichtung elastisch gezogen und gestaucht werden.A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the incisions are continuous in the thickness direction, are not continuous in the transverse direction and extend alternately in the longitudinal direction from opposite side surfaces, wherein two successive incisions in the transverse direction overlap each other. In this embodiment, therefore, all incisions of each one of the two side surfaces go out. The arrangement of the incisions results in a meandering profile. The flexibility thus obtained is present both in the plane of the planar component and transversely to its plane. The element can also be elastically pulled and compressed in the longitudinal direction.
Gemäss einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform liegen in Querrichtung jeweils mindestens zwei der Einschnitte auf einer Geraden, wobei mindestens einer der Einschnitte von keiner der beiden Seitenwände ausgeht. Ein solches Bauelement weist eine äusserst hohe Festigkeit auf und ist überraschenderweise flexibel.According to a further preferred embodiment, at least two of the incisions lie on a straight line in the transverse direction, wherein at least one of the incisions does not emanate from either side wall. Such a device has an extremely high strength and is surprisingly flexible.
Weiter ist denkbar, dass das Bauelement zwei weitere, zu den Oberflächen und den Seitenflächen gemäss Anspruch 1 im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig verlaufende Oberflächen aufweist, in der ihrerseits Einschnitte wie in Anspruch 1 definiert angeordnet sind. Dabei entspricht die Längsrichtung bezüglich der ersten zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Oberflächen der Dickenrichtung bezüglich der zweiten zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Oberflächen und umgekehrt. Eine Einschnittsanordnung gemäss dieser Ausführungsform eignet sich insbesondere für Bauelemente aus Massivholz, da in diesen eine sehr hohe Flexibilität unter Beibehaltung einer sehr hohen Festigkeit erzielt wird.It is also conceivable that the component has two further, substantially perpendicular to the surfaces and the side surfaces according to claim 1 extending surfaces, in turn, the cuts are defined as defined in claim 1. In this case, the longitudinal direction corresponds to the first two opposite surfaces of the thickness direction with respect to the second two opposing surfaces and vice versa. An incision arrangement according to this embodiment is particularly suitable for components made of solid wood, since in these a very high flexibility is achieved while maintaining a very high strength.
In der Regel verlaufen die Oberflächen und die Seitenflächen des Bauelements jeweils parallel zueinander. Dankbar ist aber auch, dass insbesondere die Seitenflächen mindestens bereichsweise aufeinander zu- oder voneinander weglaufen.As a rule, the surfaces and the side surfaces of the component each run parallel to one another. But it is also grateful that, in particular, the side surfaces at least partially towards each other or run away from each other.
Gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die in Längsrichtung aufeinanderfolgenden Einschnitte jeweils gleich voneinander beabstandet, was bewirkt, dass über die gesamte Länge des Bauelements eine gleichmässige Flexibilität erreicht wird.According to a preferred embodiment, the longitudinally successive incisions are each equidistant from each other, which causes a uniform flexibility over the entire length of the component is achieved.
Nebst gerade verlaufenden Einschnitten, die etwa mit einer herkömmlichen Säge angebracht werden können, können mittels geeigneter Methoden auch Einschnitte angebracht werden, die nicht gerade verlaufen. Geeignete Methoden hierzu stellen etwa das Schneiden mittels Wasserstrahl oder Laser dar.In addition to straight cuts that can be made with a conventional saw, for example, incisions can be made by means of suitable methods that are not straight. Suitable methods for this include cutting by means of a water jet or laser.
Zudem sind nebst Einschnitten, die rechtwinklig zu den Oberflächen verlaufen, auch Einschnitte denkbar, die in Bezug auf die Oberflächen schräg verlaufen.In addition, besides cuts that run perpendicular to the surfaces, cuts are also conceivable that run obliquely with respect to the surfaces.
Die Einschnittslänge kann für alle Einschnitte gleich oder unterschiedlich sein. Bei gleicher Länge aller Einschnitte kann eine über das gesamte Bauelement konstante Flexibilität erreicht werden. Demgegenüber kann etwa mit einer in Längsrichtung sukzessive ab- oder zunehmenden Einschnittslänge ein Bauelement erhalten werden, dessen Flexibilität sich in Längsrichtung sukzessive ändert.The incision length can be the same or different for all incisions. With the same length of all cuts a constant over the entire component flexibility can be achieved. In contrast, a component can be obtained, for example, with a longitudinally successive decreasing or increasing incision length whose flexibility changes successively in the longitudinal direction.
Gemäss einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Bauelement der vorliegenden Erfindung aus Holz, welches sich aufgrund seiner mechanischen Eigenschaften besonders gut eignet.According to a further preferred embodiment, the component of the present invention is made of wood, which is particularly well suited due to its mechanical properties.
Vorzugsweise umfasst das Bauelement mindestens drei übereinander angeordnete Holzschichten, wobei die Einschnitte quer zur Faserrichtung mindestens einer Holzschicht verlaufen. Solche Ausführungsformen halten aufgrund der Struktur des Holzes wesentlich höhere Zug-und Druckkräfte aus als solche aus Massivholz. In der Regel wird für diese Ausführungsform eine ungerade Zahl an Holzschichten gewählt, sodass bei einer Anordnung, in der die Faserrichtung der Holzschichten abwechslungsweise in unterschiedlicher Richtung verläuft, die Faserrichtung der beiden Holzschichten, die die Oberflächen des Bauelements bilden, in gleicher Richtung verläuft.The component preferably comprises at least three layers of wood arranged one above the other, the incisions extending transversely to the fiber direction of at least one layer of wood. Such embodiments, due to the structure of the wood, retain substantially higher tensile and compressive forces than those of solid wood. As a rule, an odd number of layers of wood is chosen for this embodiment, so that in an arrangement in which the grain direction of the layers of wood varies in different directions, the grain direction of the two layers of wood forming the surfaces of the element extends in the same direction.
Alternativ zu Holz sind auch Kunststoff umfassende Materialen denkbar, wie etwa mit Aluminium beschichtete Kunststoffe, wie beispielsweise die unter der Handelsbezeichnung Alucobond® oder Dibond® vertriebenen Verbundsplatten der Firma Alcan Composites.As an alternative to wood, plastic-comprising materials are also conceivable, for example plastics coated with aluminum, for example those coated with aluminum Trade name Alucobond® or Dibond® distributed composite panels from Alcan Composites.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist mindestens eine Seitenfläche des Bauelementes eine in Längsrichtung verlaufende Nut auf. Diese erlaubt es, mittels eines in die Nut eingesetzten Profils die gebildete Form zu fixieren. Bevorzugt weist das erfindungsgemässe Bauelement an beiden Seitenflächen eine Nut auf.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one side surface of the component has a groove extending in the longitudinal direction. This makes it possible to fix the formed form by means of a profile inserted into the groove. The component according to the invention preferably has a groove on both side surfaces.
Die Nut ist vorzugsweise derart ausgestaltet, dass das eingesetzte Profil sicher festgehalten wird. Dies kann vorzugsweise mit einer Schwalbenschwanznut erreicht werden.The groove is preferably designed such that the inserted profile is securely held. This can preferably be achieved with a dovetail groove.
Insbesondere für flexible Objekte mit einer steifen Rahmenstruktur kann ein Rahmenprofil vorgesehen werden, in welches das erfindungsgemässe Bauelement eingesetzt wird. Dabei können die jeweiligen Rahmenseiten wie oben beschrieben in dafür an den Seitenflächen des Bauelements vorgesehenen Nuten eingesetzt werden. Denkbar ist auch, dass das Bauelement aufgrund seiner Elastizität durch Kraftwirkung auf das Rahmenprofil in diesem festgehalten wird.In particular, for flexible objects with a rigid frame structure, a frame profile can be provided, in which the inventive component is used. In this case, the respective frame sides can be used as described above in foreseen on the side surfaces of the component grooves. It is also conceivable that the component due to its elasticity by force on the frame profile is held in this.
Alternativ zum Einbringen eines Profils in einer dafür vorgesehenen Nut, kann eine gewünschte Form des Bauelements beispielsweise auch dadurch fixiert werden, dass nach der entsprechenden Verformung die Einschnitte mit einem Epoxydharz ausgegossen werden.As an alternative to introducing a profile in a groove provided for this purpose, a desired shape of the component can also be fixed, for example, by casting the incisions with an epoxy resin after the corresponding deformation.
Denkbar ist auch, dass zwei oder mehrere Bauelemente über je ein Federelement mit zwei daran angeordneten, formschlüssig in der Nut gehaltenen Verbindungselementen, vorzugsweise in Form eines Schwalbenschwanzes, miteinander verbunden werden.It is also conceivable that two or more components each have a spring element with two arranged thereon, positively held in the groove connecting elements, preferably in the form of a dovetail, are interconnected.
Alternativ zur Verbindung mit einem zusätzlichen Verbindungselement können die Bauelemente der vorliegenden Erfindung auch mittels eines Klebstoffs miteinander verbunden oder aufeinander geklebt werden. Bei Eckverbindungen werden diese vorzugsweise auf Gehrung miteinander verklebt.Alternatively to the connection with an additional connecting element, the components of the present invention can also be connected to one another or glued to one another by means of an adhesive. In corner joints these are preferably glued together miter.
Das Bauelement der vorliegenden Erfindung ist besonders für Möbel geeignet, da für diese oft gebogene oder geschwungene Formen angestrebt werden und in der Regel eine Flexibilität des Materials erwünscht ist. So ist es insbesondere für Bänke, Stühle oder Liegen erwünscht, dass sie ihre Form an die Position des Sitzenden/Liegenden anpassen können. Weitere Möbel, in denen das Bauelement der vorliegenden Erfindung vorzugsweise Anwendung findet, stellen Paravents dar. Dabei kann es erwünscht sein, dass das Holzelement wie oben beschrieben in einem dafür vorgesehenen Rahmenprofil eingesetzt ist.The component of the present invention is particularly suitable for furniture, as these are often sought curved or curved shapes and usually a flexibility of the material is desired. So it is particularly desirable for benches, chairs or loungers that they can adapt their shape to the position of the sitting / lying. Other furniture in which the device of the present invention preferably applies, represent screens. It may be desirable that the wood element is used as described above in a dedicated frame profile.
Zudem können die erfindungsgemässen Bauelemente als Bestandteile einer Verkleidung für Lichtkörper verwendet werden, etwa als Teil einer zylinderförmigen oder kubusförmigen Lampe. Bevorzugt wird dabei die Flexibilität des Bauelementes beibehalten, da dadurch verschiedene Lichteffekte erzielt werden können.In addition, the components according to the invention can be used as components of a lining for light bodies, for example as part of a cylindrical or cube-shaped lamp. In this case, the flexibility of the component is preferably maintained, since different light effects can thereby be achieved.
Nebst der beschriebenen Anwendung des erfindungsgemässen Bauelements für ein Möbel können sie für verschiedenste Anwendungen im Bauwesen verwendet werden, etwa als Bauteil einer Wand- oder Deckenverkleidung. Beispiele solcher Bauteile stellen etwa Akustikpaneele, Wärmetauscher, Lüftungsverschalungen oder Wandpaneele mit Hinterleuchtung dar.In addition to the described application of the inventive device for a piece of furniture, they can be used for a variety of applications in construction, such as a component of a wall or ceiling paneling. Examples of such components include acoustic panels, heat exchangers, ventilation cladding or wall panels with backlighting represents.
Denkbar sind auch andere Anwendungsgebiete, wie beispielweise die Herstellung von Spielzeugen oder Schmuck.Also conceivable are other fields of application, such as the production of toys or jewelry.
