Definitions

  • the invention relates to a foldable plate, in particular of a wood material or of wood, with at least two separate plate parts, each having a visible side, at least one inner narrow edge and a back, and with a two plate members pivotally interconnecting hinge element, wherein the inner Narrow edges facing apart unfolded plate parts facing each other and wherein the plate parts on the visible side have a decorative layer. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a foldable plate, preferably of the type mentioned.
  • Foldable panels are used particularly in furniture, both body parts and furniture back walls can consist of foldable plates.
  • 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 plates usually have a fold, but also folding plates are known which can be folded at two or more locations.
  • a hinging element connecting the two panels is provided, which may be an adhesive fabric, an adhesive or an adhesive tape.
  • the hinge element is arranged on a rear side of the foldable plate, so that the Opposite visible side of the foldable plate can give the impression that it is the foldable plate is an integrally formed, continuous plate.
  • a foldable plate of the type mentioned is from the EP 1 792 551 A1 known.
  • the known foldable plate may have a coloring agent on the adjoining in unfolded state of the foldable plate edge portions, so that disturbing color differences in the adjacent edge regions and the visible side of the foldable plate can be avoided.
  • the color of the edge regions is more or less adapted to the color of the visible side.
  • the dyeing of the abutting in unfolded state of the foldable plate edge portions can be done on the one hand before joining the two plate halves of the foldable plate or after connecting the two plate halves in the folded state. Both, however, requires increased effort and ultimately causes increased manufacturing costs. This results not least from the sometimes quite large dimensions of the foldable plates or the corresponding plate halves.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the technical problem of providing a foldable plate and a method for its production, in order to reduce the manufacturing effort, without the quality of the optical impression of the foldable plate is unfolded in the unfolded state.
  • the plate parts are sawn during the production of the foldable plate from a plate already provided with the decorative layer.
  • sawing can also be understood as milling or cutting.
  • the plate such as semi-finished plate, disassembled into individual plate parts. Preferably, this results in a gap between the plate parts.
  • the invention is based on the finding that the impairment of the optical quality can be counteracted by the fraying of the decorative layer in a simple, quick and cost-effective manner by applying a cover layer to the decorative layer, namely adjacent to the inner narrow edge.
  • the foldable plate on two plate parts, each carrying an inner narrow edge.
  • the foldable plate is composed of three and more plate parts.
  • each plate member is connected to a hinge member with an adjacent plate member.
  • the plate parts arranged centrally in the foldable plate then have two opposite inner narrow edges, since in the unfolded state, in each case another plate part adjoins on opposite edges.
  • the optical quality of the foldable plate increases, although the actual decorative layer is partially covered with another layer, i. the cover layer is covered. Typically, such measures are troublesome to the human eye. Nevertheless, a better optical quality of the foldable plate can be achieved in this way, as if, for example, only the inner narrow edges are provided with the cover layer.
  • the foldable plate ie in particular the covered plate parts, are preferably made of a wood material or wood. Then the optical improvement is particularly high and the mechanical properties of the foldable plate are favorable.
  • Medium-density fiber material (MDF), high-density fiber material (HDF), hard fiber material, chipboard material or Oriented Strand Board Material (OSB material) are particularly suitable as wood-based materials. It can, however Also, a plastic, a wood / plastic mixture or metal may be provided as a material for the foldable plate.
  • the colored cover layer is preferably a well-covering layer, so that it can not easily be seen through the cover layer. On the other hand, it is not necessary for the topcoat to be completely opaque.
  • the optical properties of the cover layer are preferably adapted to the optical properties of the decorative layer in order to produce a harmonious appearance. The same can also apply to the choice of color or the choice of a pattern.
  • the decorative layer can be monochrome but also patterned. It may also be provided a surface structure of the cover layer.
  • the hue of the cover layer forms a visible contrast to the hue of the decorative layer.
  • the viewer is less noticeable that the foldable plate composed of several plate parts, since the abutting edges between the plate parts in the recognizability behind the color contrast between the cover layer and the decorative layer recede.
  • the invention is in no way limited to the fact that a cover layer is provided on a decorative layer of only one plate part. Rather, it is preferred because of a more uniform optical impression when two colored cover layers are provided on the decorative layers of two adjacent plate parts, preferably adjacent to each other. This means, for example, that the cover layers adjacent to two adjacent, in the unfolded state of the foldable Plate facing each other inner narrow edges of the two plate parts are arranged. If the plate is composed of more than two plate parts, it can be provided, for example, that the decorative layers of all plate parts have a cover layer on the decorative layer adjacent to the respective inner narrow edges of the plate parts. It should be noted that internal plate parts of the foldable plate have two inner narrow edges.
  • the colored cover layer also extends over the inner narrow edge of the plate part, preferably only in a region adjacent to the visible side of the plate part. Then, a color difference between the inner narrow edge and the decorative layer in the unfolded state of the foldable plate is less likely to be noticed by the viewer. To save material of the colored cover layer, the inner narrow edge does not have to be completely provided with the cover layer.
  • the cover layer extends substantially without breaks or interruptions from the visible side to the inner narrow edge of the at least one plate part. Then, the edge region of the facing inner narrow edges appears optically very little and is therefore not or barely perceived by a viewer.
  • the at least one cover layer is preferably formed by a paint application and / or paint application.
  • the at least one decorative layer can be formed by a laminate coating with at least one decor paper, a film coating, a paint application and / or a lacquer application.
  • the cover layer is less recognizable when the decorative layer and the cover layer are made of the same material.
  • the visible sides and the inner narrow edges of two adjacent plate parts of the folding plate can each abut each other substantially at right angles to each other. If the gap between the mutually facing inner narrow edges is small enough, the viewer does not notice the gap.
  • the visible side is chamfered or rounded adjacent to at least one inner narrow edge in the direction of the inner narrow edge.
  • the chamfer is preferably a so-called chamfer. Even when it comes to fraying in the area of the chamfer or rounding, gives the viewer the impression of a uniform, harmonious joint. Due to the bevels also occur in the edge region of rare fractures in the cover layer, especially if it is formed from a paint or the like. In order to achieve a harmonious appearance overall, it is preferred if at both adjacent chamfers adjacent chamfers and / or rounding are provided.
  • a foldable plate comprising at least two separate plate parts, each having a visible side, at least one inner narrow edge and a back, as well as the two plate members pivotally interconnecting hinge element, wherein the inner narrow edges are at unfolded plate parts facing each other, in which the visible sides of the plate parts are provided with a decorative layer and in which a colored cover layer is applied to the decorative layer of at least one plate member adjacent to the inner narrow edge of the plate member.
  • the optical quality of the unfolded foldable plate is significantly improved because the then formed at least one abutting edge between the plate parts is less clearly visible.
  • This qualitative improvement is very easy and fast. This ultimately leads to a low-cost and easy-to-handle manufacturing process for folding panels with a high optical quality.
  • the method which is preferably used for producing a foldable plate of the type described above achieves the same advantages as have already been described above in connection with the corresponding embodiments of the foldable plate.
  • the colored cover layer is not only applied in regions over the decorative layer, but also in any case partially over the inner narrow edge of the plate member. It is preferred because of easier application and to save material when the cover layer is applied in a region adjacent to the visible side of the plate member on the inner narrow edge.
  • the at least one cover layer can be formed by a paint application and / or a paint application. This can be done easily and quickly and allows further process steps to be carried out essentially without a time delay.
  • the decorative layer may be provided in principle, higher quality materials than to use for the top layer, even if the production of the decorative layer is then more complex. This is nevertheless justified because the decorative layer over a large area, in particular full surface, is applied to the visible side of the foldable plate.
  • the at least one decorative layer can be formed, for example, by a laminate coating with at least one decor paper, a film coating, a paint application and / or a varnish application.
  • a plate is first provided on the visible side of a decorative layer is attached.
  • the plate which may be a semi-finished plate, is then sawn into plate parts.
  • the plate is preferably sawn into as many plate parts as are subsequently joined together to form the foldable plate.
  • any number of plate parts can be cut out of such a plate, which need not necessarily be joined together to form a common foldable plate.
  • the inner narrow edges of the plate parts are preferably formed.
  • the cover layer is applied to the plate parts. Immediately after sawing means in this context, for example, that the plate parts have not yet been moved across the joint. Thus, the uniform alignment can be exploited to the joint.
  • the process can be carried out as quickly as possible, it makes sense if the applicator already moves along the joint for the application of the cover layer and, if necessary, thereby brought into contact with the plate parts is before the plate has been completely sawn into plate parts. In other words, the applicator is already moved along the joint before the joint has completely formed.
  • the colored top layer is applied to the decorative layers of the two spaced by the joint plate parts. Then it can be utilized that the two adjacent plate parts produced by sawing are arranged close to one another and aligned correspondingly parallel to one another. The order of the two outer layers can be done for example in one step.
  • a coating agent for applying the cover layer can be moved easily and inexpensively along at least one joint resulting from sawing the plate into plate parts. If several joints are sawn, for example because the slab is sawn into more than two slab parts, the application medium can also be moved one after the other along the resulting joints. It is even easier and faster, however, if essentially every emerging joint is assigned a coating agent which is moved along the joint immediately after sawing the joint.
  • the applicator may be a type of roller and / or roller, as it can easily be unrolled along the seam on the plate members.
  • the application medium may also be at least one nozzle with the aid of which the cover layer is sprayed on without contact. This is less trouble-prone.
  • the application of the cover layer can be done simultaneously on both sides of a joint, which is particularly fast to perform.
  • a nozzle can be assigned to both sides of the joint, ie the two sides of adjacent plate parts.
  • the expenditure on equipment can be reduced.
  • it can also be provided a nozzle for each plate member or each side of the joint. This can reduce material losses in the area of the center of the joint and / or adjust the nozzles more accurately.
  • the at least one nozzle can be arranged to save space in a joint between the adjacent plate parts.
  • the Plate parts may help if the Plate parts are pushed together after sawing and the application of the cover layer, which then closes the gap between the adjacent plate parts or inner narrow edges. Then, the plate parts can be connected in the position resulting from the pushing together with the at least one hinge element. Further steps, which involve the laborious transportation of the still unconnected plate parts, can be saved.
  • a plate 1 for example, semifinished product shown, are obtained from the plate parts 2,3 for a foldable plate 4.
  • the illustrated plate 1 is sawed in two directions in a feed direction VR in two plate parts 2.3. It would also be conceivable that the plate is sawn in three or more plate parts. Then, the three or more plate parts could be assembled together into a foldable plate.
  • the following description is limited to the case where the plate 1 is sawed into two plate parts 2, 3, which are then assembled into a foldable plate 4 made of these two plate parts 2, 3.
  • a saw 5 is used, which in a vertical section in the Fig. 2 is shown in detail.
  • the saw 5 without this being mandatory, stationary, so that the plate 1 is guided along the saw 5 along.
  • the saw 5 has in the illustrated embodiment, a rotating about a rotation axis 6 saw blade 7, which forms a gap 8 when sawing the plate 1 in the two plate parts 2.3 in the feed direction VR behind the saw blade 7.
  • the joint 8 is bounded on both sides by the later inner narrow edges 9, 10 of the two plate parts 2, 3. This means that the two plate parts 2, 3 are later joined together to form the foldable plate 4 such that the two edges bordering the gap 8 again face each other in the same way when the foldable plate 4 is brought into an unfolded state.
  • an application means 11 arranged in the feed direction VR behind the saw blade 7 is unrolled in the form of a roller along the joint 8 that has just been formed.
  • the application means 11 is acted upon by a cover layer 12,13 forming material, so that the application means 11 when rolling along the joint 8, a cover layer 12,13 both on the decorative layer 14,15 of the visible sides 16,17 of the two plate parts 2,3 as well as on the inner narrow edges 9,10 of the two plate parts 2,3 applies.
  • the application means 11 has bevelled edges with which the application means 11 roll on the edges 18,19 of the plate parts 2,3 between the visible sides 16,17 and the inner narrow edges 9,10. While that Application means 10 rolls along the gap 8 formed by the sawing on the adjacent edges of the two plate parts 2,3, the applicator means 11 rotates about a rotation axis 20 which can be arranged fixed or variable in relation to the plate parts 2,3. This is especially true in the Fig. 3 shown making a vertical cut along the level III-III Fig. 1 represents.
  • the plate 1 is shown in a side view.
  • the saw 5 and the application means 11 are arranged in the feed direction VR of the plate 1 directly behind one another.
  • the distance between the saw 5 and the application means 11 is significantly shorter than the length of the plate 1 in the feed direction VR.
  • the two plate parts 2, 3 are already provided with the cover layer 12, 13 nearly along the entire extent in the feed direction VR, until the two plate parts 2, 3 are actually completely separated by the saw 5.
  • a foldable plate 4 is shown, which has been prepared in the manner previously explained.
  • the foldable plate 4 has two plate parts 2,3, which are each shown only in regions.
  • the two plate parts 2,3 abut each other with facing inner narrow edges 9,10 and are held in the illustrated unfolded state by a hinge member 21 in position, which is attached to the back 22 of the adjacent plate parts 2,3.
  • the hinge element 21 is formed of an adhesive, but there are also other known from the prior art hinge elements in question.
  • the rear side 22 opposite the visible sides 16,17 of the plate parts 2,3 are arranged, which is "seen” for example as a furniture back wall by the user. Therefore, the visible sides 16,17 are provided over the entire surface with decorative layers 14,15.
  • the decorative layers 14,15 are interrupted at the adjoining edges 18,19 of the plate parts 2,3.
  • the two plate parts 2, 3 each have a cover layer 12, 13, which is provided in the region of the adjoining edges 18, 19 of the adjacent plate parts 2, 3.

  • the cover layers 12,13 are attached.
  • the cover layers 12,13 are not over the entire surface, but only provided in the areas adjacent to the visible sides 16,17 of the two plate parts 2,3.
  • each of the two cover layers 12,13 extends without interruption from the corresponding visible side 16,17 to the corresponding inner narrow edge 9,10 of the same plate part 2,3.
  • the cover layers 12, 13 are essentially free of fractures and cracks.
  • the edges 18, 19 formed between the visible sides 16, 17 and the inner narrow edges 9, 10 of the respective plate parts 2, 3 are essentially completely provided with a cover layer 12, 13.
  • the decorative layer can be applied only after the preparation of the bevels.
  • the decorative layer 14 ', 15' has already been provided on the plate before it has been sawn into the plate parts 2 ', 3'.
  • the bevels 24, 25 after sawing are made by removing part of the plate material in the regions of the inner side edges 8 ', 9' below the decorative layers 14 ', 15' and bending the decorative layers 14 ', 15' inward. Because of the bending over of the decorative layers 14 ', 15', these may not reach as far as the inner narrow edges 9 ', 10', but that between the inner narrow edges 9 ', 10' and the decorative layers 14 ', 15' a smaller Gap remains. This is tolerable since the cover layer 12 ', 13' is subsequently applied at the same location.
