Definitions

  • the invention relates to a foldable plate having a visible side and a rear side, with a base plate, with a layer arranged on the base plate and with at least one formed on the back groove, wherein the layer is arranged on the visible side of the plate, wherein the layer is formed is that it has a hinge function in the region of the groove and wherein the plate is foldable along the groove
  • Foldable panels are used in particular as part of furniture kits, both body parts and furniture back walls can consist of foldable panels.
  • the advantage of foldability lies in the fact that the panels have a smaller dimension in the folded state and thus can be packed in smaller packages.
  • the foldable panels are usually completely folded together, possibly arranged on or under other furniture components and packed with a cardboard material.
  • the plates are in the usual way a folding, but also folding plates are known, which can be folded at two or more places.
  • Foldable plates are known from the prior art, which consist of two adjacent plate parts, which are connected on the visible side by a PVC layer, which has a hinge function in the contact area of the plate parts.
  • PVC layers have an unsuitable for furniture surfaces, undesirable or unsatisfactory surface structure, so that the visual or haptic impression of the furniture part can be affected.
  • the furniture industry has strayed from the use of such foldable plates and has preferably used foldable plates, the hinge function is taken over by an adhesive or by an adhesive tape on the visible side, the back or between the plate parts.
  • the DE 20 2005 018 809 U1 a foldable plate with two separate plate parts, which are held together on the back by a hinge consisting of an adhesive element.
  • the JP 53064289 A discloses a foldable panel, wherein the layer forming the visible side comprises an adhesive layer, a decorative layer and two plastic layers.
  • the layer on the base plate is made of a saturated paper.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a foldable plate which avoids the above-mentioned disadvantages of the foldable plates of the prior art and which is particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the layer consists of a lacquer layer, which consists of a permanently elastic lacquer, ensures that the foldable plate has both a high durability and rigidity as well as a high ecological compatibility and a visually and haptically high-quality visible side, especially not is affected by a visible folding edge.
  • the invention overcomes the technical prejudice that it requires an adhesive, an adhesive tape or even a PVC layer as a hinge element for a foldable plate. It has been found that the layer consisting of an elastic lacquer is suitable for assuming a hinge function both when folding and unfolding the plate and for giving the unfolded plate sufficient rigidity. Under a varnish, from which the varnish layer is produced, is understood to mean any form of coating material which can be applied to the plate in a liquid or powdery state.
  • the arranged on the back of the plate groove preferably extends through the entire base plate thickness, so that the groove bottom exclusively through the layer or through the Paint layer is formed. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the groove does not reach through the entire base plate.
  • the groove may be I-shaped, V-shaped or otherwise formed.
  • the base plate is preferably made of a wood or a wood material. For example, a chipboard or fiberboard or a multilayer board with chip and / or fiber components can be used.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the foldable plate is that in the base plate a plurality of juxtaposed grooves are formed. This ensures that the total angle by which the foldable plate is folded is distributed over a plurality of folding edges, so that the folding angle at each individual groove or folding edge is less than the overall angle and reduces the mechanical stress acting as a hinge element layer in this area becomes. Thus, it is possible to make the layer thinner or to achieve a higher durability of the layer and to allow more frequent folding and unfolding of the plate.
  • a decorative layer on the lacquer layer.
  • a decorative layer By this configuration it is achieved that the nature of the visible side of the foldable plate can be chosen freely.
  • a very thin lacquer layer or a lacquer layer with a structured surface can be used which in itself does not serve as a hinge element would be suitable.
  • more than one further layer is applied to the lacquer layer in order, for example, to achieve a specific decorative effect.
  • the layer forming the visible side has a reinforcement or a reinforcement.
  • This reinforcement can be arranged for example in the lacquer layer or in another layer.
  • fibers which are embedded in the layer are suitable for the reinforcement of such a layer.
  • the lacquer layer consists essentially of a lacquer which has a glass transition temperature in the range of normal room temperatures.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the foldable plate is that the lacquer layer has a glass transition temperature between 15 ° C and 30 ° C.
  • a glass transition temperature is understood as the temperature at which the curve of the logarithmic modulus of elasticity has a point of inflection. The range around the glass transition temperature is thus due to a strong temperature dependence of the logarithmic modulus of elasticity characterized.
  • the use of a paint having a glass transition temperature in the range of room temperature has the advantage that the elastic modulus of the paint a takes advantageous average, so that the paint has both a sufficient bending ability and a sufficient toughness.
  • the plate can be folded easily and has a high rigidity when unfolded. Furthermore, even by a slight heating of the paint in the region of the groove, the modulus of elasticity can be greatly reduced, so that the folding of the plate is further simplified. When cooling the unfolded plate to the room air, the elastic modulus increases again, so that the rigidity of the plate is increased again.
  • the lacquer layer has a depth value according to Erichsen of at least 5 mm, preferably 8 mm and in particular at least 10 mm and / or the mandrel bending test according to EN ISO 6860 with a bending mandrel diameter of at most 10 mm, preferably at most 6 mm, in particular at most 4 mm.
  • Erichsen depth value is understood to mean the depth to which a hardened, polished steel ball with a diameter of 20 mm can be pressed into the lacquer layer by means of a tappet at a uniform feed rate of about 0.2 mm / s before settling on the Surface of the paint layer first cracks form.
  • the use of such a lacquer layer is advantageous because such a high durability of the lacquer layer is achieved and frequent folding or unfolding of the plate is made possible.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the foldable plate is given by the fact that the lacquer layer is based on solutions and dispersions of elastic chloroprenes and / or chlorosulfonated polyethylene products.
  • Such Lacquer coatings are characterized by a particularly high and lasting elasticity.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the foldable plate is given by the fact that the lacquer layer is based on solutions and dispersions of silicone resins and / or elastically adjusted polyurethanes. These paint layers are characterized by a particularly high and lasting elasticity.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the foldable plate is that the lacquer layer has an epoxy or acrylic component or mixtures thereof. Such coatings are also characterized by a particularly high and lasting elasticity.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the foldable plate is that the lacquer layer is at least partially formed from an elastomer.
  • Such coatings are characterized by a particularly high and lasting elasticity.
  • the layer has an intermediate layer arranged between the lacquer layer and the visible side.
  • An intermediate layer is understood to be a layer which, by virtue of its composition and / or its structure, is suitable for relieving the varnish layer during folding and unfolding of the plate and partially or completely taking over the hinge function of the varnish layer. Basically, it is for each Suitable sheet, which can be connected to the plate.
  • a such a design is particularly advantageous, since in this way a very thin lacquer layer or a lacquer layer with a structured surface can be used, which would not be suitable as a hinge element per se.
  • the additional layer leads to an increased stiffness of the foldable plate in the unfolded state.
  • Particularly preferred is the use of an intermediate layer which can be coated without further pretreatment with a lacquer layer, since this eliminates the labor, in particular the substrate preparation such as grinding and priming the plate surface, whereby the manufacturing cost is reduced.
  • the intermediate layer has a primer film.
  • Particularly advantageous is the use of Grundierfolien based on noble cellulose. These may further be impregnated with a synthetic resin.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is that the lacquer layer adheres better by the Grundierfolie to the foldable plate.
  • special coloring of the visible side of the foldable plate can be achieved, for example, by appropriate coloring of the base plate.
  • the intermediate layer substantially has a color corresponding to the intended appearance of the visible side.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the lacquer layer can be designed to be particularly thin, without the appearance of the visible side by a show through a deviant
  • Coloring of the intermediate layer would be impaired. It is even possible to use a transparent lacquer layer.
  • the intermediate layer can be printed without further pretreatment.
  • a pattern for example a grain structure, can thus be printed on the intermediate layer so that the intended visual appearance is created in the interaction of the colored intermediate layer and the imprint.
  • a lacquer layer applied to the imprint in particular a transparent lacquer layer, can supplement the visual appearance and seal the printed surface and thus protect it from damage.
  • the intermediate layer is pressed with the plate.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that a high durability of the foldable plate is achieved by the particularly intimate connection between the intermediate layer and the plate.
  • the compression of the intermediate layer with the plate can be done directly by the intermediate layer is applied immediately prior to pressing the plate on the plate blank.
  • This has the advantage that the intermediate layer does not have to be subsequently connected to the plate and thus leads to a simplification of the manufacturing process of the plate and thus to a cost reduction.
  • sheet-like structures which have a temperature and moisture resistance corresponding to the pressing conditions are suitable for this embodiment.
  • the intermediate layer may not have a continuous, in particular a net-like structure or a fabric structure.
  • Such a structure of the intermediate layer achieves high elasticity combined with high durability of the intermediate layer and thus an improvement in the hinge effect of the intermediate layer.
  • such an intermediate layer is advantageous in the direct compression of the layer with the plate according to the previous embodiment, since in this way higher production speeds are achieved.
  • the vapor generated and discharged during the pressing in the plate blank can pass almost unhindered through the non-continuous closed layer, so that an extension of the pressing time as opposed to the pressing of continuous layers is avoided.
  • the intermediate layer consists of a compressed nonwoven.
  • a fleece has high elasticity and durability due to its long fibers and is thus very well suited as a hinge element.
  • This embodiment also has the advantage that the fleece can be applied to the plate blank already before the pressing of the plate, so that an intimate connection between the plate and the fleece is achieved by the common pressing and on the other hand, the manufacturing process simple and inexpensive can be held.
