Description

"WALL-COVERING PANEL"
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a covering panel, for example of decorative type suitable for being fastened to the external or internal walls of a building. The present invention is mainly used in the field of the heat-insulating panels.
Known Background Art
Covering panels of decorative type, suitable to be fastened to the internal or external walls of a building to modify the aesthetic appearance, are known. Such panels can be fastened to the wall for example by glue, cementitious pastes, resins, silicones and, in general, an adhesive. In case the panels are fastened to the internal walls of a house, often there is the problem that bothersome odors emanated for example by the solvents typically employed for the preparation of the adhesive, could prevent from staying inside the home for days.
To solve this problem, it is further known the fastening of panels to the walls by screws or rivets, by carrying out a so called "dry" or "mechanical" fastening, i.e. without the need to use adhesives and without the need to pretreat the wall by "chiseling", electro-welded nets and particular substances (primers) that are often necessary to ensure a reliable adhesion of the adhesive and the panel to the wall. Depending on the type and material the wall is made of (reinforced concrete, steel, wood, hollow bricks, frames, etc.), it is possible to use rivets, self-tapping screws or screws with plugs applied to the wall. In particular, for fastening the panel to the wall it is often necessary to make a bore on the wall and the panel for passing a fastening element through it.
However, also this solution has some drawbacks. In fact, after fastening the panel to the wall, part of the fastening element (for example the head of the screw or rivet) or the bore made on the panel, is visible on the front surface of the panel.
For example in case of panels made of stone, applying plaster is known at the fastening element to cover and plug the bore on the panel which the fastening element has been passed through, to be fastened to the wall. In other cases, such as for example in the case of the wooden panels, it is possible to apply plastic or wooden plugs of the same or similar color to that of the panel in order to cover the portion of fastening element visible on the front surface of the panel. Glass decorative plugs, provided with LED, etc., can be further exploited.
Thanks to mechanical or dry fastening there are considerable time and cost savings in the implementation, as well as there is a cleaner and thus less bulky construction site (less powder).
Such solutions, if on the one hand simplify laying the panels with respect to the fastening technique by gluing, on the other hand compromise the aesthetic performance of the panel.
Summary of the Invention
It is an object of the present invention to solve the above mentioned problems and to provide a covering panel and a relative fastening method that allows laying the panels to be sped up without compromising the aesthetic performance.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a heat-insulating, eco-friendly covering panel, that is simple to make and can be simply, rapidly and reliably fastened to a wall.
These and other objects are solved by the present invention by a panel according to claim 1 and a method according to claim 11, and the relative dependent claims.
In particular, the wall-covering panel comprises a substantially flat supporting base and a plurality of wooden covering elements arranged on the supporting base substantially adjacent one to another to cover the whole surface of the supporting base, or at least the most thereof.
According to a peculiar aspect of the present invention, said plurality of covering elements comprises at least one first covering element fastened to the supporting base and at least one second covering element removably constrained to the supporting base.
Thus, by removing the second covering element from the supporting base it is possible to fasten the panel by fastening elements at the portion of supporting base left uncovered following the removal of the second covering element. Thus, by constraining the second covering element, it is possible to cover the fastening element by hiding it from sight and preserving the aesthetics of the panel. Note that with the expression "substantially adjacent" is meant that the covering elements are arranged at negligible distance with respect to their dimensions, possibly in contact with one another.
According to a particular aspect of the present invention, the covering elements are arranged so that the profiles of two opposing sides of the panel are complementary one to another. Thanks to such aspect, by fastening multiple panels in series to a wall a cover is obtained, wherein the border line between the supporting bases of two adjacent panels is hardly visible when looking frontally to the panels. In other words, it would be difficult for an observer to identify the individual panels of a cover made with a plurality of panels according to the present invention.
Preferably, said plurality of covering elements comprises a plurality of said first covering elements and a plurality of said second covering elements. The first covering elements are preferably fastened to the supporting base so that to form profiles complementary one to another, at two opposing sides of the panel. Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous when each panel comprises a large number of covering elements (for example when the covering elements have small size). Thanks to the complementary profiles formed by the first covering elements at two opposing sides of the panel, laying the panels is rapid and simple. For fastening a panel to the wall, it is enough a small number of second covering elements (for example four, or in general at least two), independently of the number of first covering elements in the panel.
More preferably, said covering elements are substantially prism-shaped.
Advantageously, the covering elements are made of waste wood from woodworking industries. Such a characteristic allows making eco-friendly and cheap covering panels. However, further embodiments can provide for using panels made of noble wood for making the panels more prestigious, still remaining within the scope of protection of the present invention.
According to an advantageous aspect of the present invention, the covering elements are impregnated with water-based fireproof paint.
Preferably, the supporting base is made of a material comprising wood fibers. More preferably, the supporting base is a high-density fiberboard (HDF). Such an embodiment is advantageous against the moisture passage and formation.
Advantageously, said at least one first covering element is glued on said supporting base.
An aspect of the present invention also relates to a method for fastening a panel according to any one of the preceding claims to a wall, said method comprising the steps of:
a) removing said at least one second covering element from the supporting base of the panel so that to uncover at least one portion of said supporting base;
b) fastening said supporting base to the wall by at least one fastening element, wherein said at least one fastening element passes through said supporting base at said at least one portion of uncovered supporting base, enters the wall and constrains therewith;
c) constraining said at least one second covering element to said supporting base so that to cover said at least one portion of uncovered supporting base.
According to an aspect of the present invention, the covering elements of the panel are arranged so that the profiles of two opposing sides of the panel are complementary one to another. The steps a), b), c) of the method can advantageously be carried out for fastening a plurality of said panels to the wall. The method preferably comprises a step of arranging a plurality of panels so that one side of a panel is arranged adjacent to the complementary side of another panel. By meshing one side of a panel to the corresponding complementary side of another panel, you can effectively hide the border line between the supporting bases of the panels, thus obtaining a cover wherein the covering elements appear to be directly fastened, one by one, to the wall.
Preferably, said at least one fastening element comprises a flathead rivet, preferably applied by a riveting machine.
Thus, thanks to this aspect, it is possible to simply and rapidly fasten one or more panels according to the present invention to a wall, forming a cheap and eco-friendly heat-insulating cover and without compromising the aesthetic performance of the panel following the fastening.

Detailed description of some embodiments of the invention
In Figure 1 a wall-covering panel 10 is shown, comprising a substantially flat supporting base 1, i.e. defined between two opposite surfaces la, lb extending mostly along two dimensions so that to make the third dimension (the thickness) negligible. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the supporting base 1 is about 120 cm in width, about 80 cm in length and about 0.6 cm in thickness.
Preferably, the supporting base 1 is made of a material comprising wood fibers. For example, the supporting base can be made of wood turned into compressed fibers so that to form a board whose density depends on the glue that has been used and on the pressure applied during the manufacturing. Preferably, the supporting base is a high- density fiberboard (HDF). However, further embodiments can provide for the supporting base being a medium-density (MDF) o low-density (LDF) fiberboard, still remaining within the scope of protection of the present invention.
The panel 10 comprises a plurality of wooden covering elements 2 arranged on the surface la of the supporting base 1 (the surface lb, being opposite to the surface la, has not been shown in Figure 1).
Advantageously, the covering elements 2 are made of waste wood from woodworking industries. Preferably the covering elements 2 are impregnated with water-based fireproof paint.
In particular, the covering elements 2 are arranged substantially adjacent one to another to cover the whole surface la of the supporting base 1, or at least the most thereof. In particular, in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the covering elements 2 are arranged almost in contact one to another, so that to almost completely cover the surface la of the supporting base 1.
The covering elements 2 comprise one or more covering elements 2a fastened to the supporting base and at least one second covering element 2b removably constrained to the supporting base 1. The first covering elements 2a can for example be fastened to the surface la of the supporting base 1 by staples and/or glue. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the panel 10 is provided with a plurality of first, substantially prism-shaped covering elements 2a, and four covering elements 2b (shown with dashed line), themselves also substantially prism-shaped and removably constrained to the supporting base.
In other words, the second covering elements 2b can be inserted and removed from the panel 10. For example, when making the panel 10, the second covering elements 2b are arranged on the surface la of the supporting base, but are not fastened to it. Preferably, the second and first covering elements 2a, 2b have the same shape. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, all of the covering elements 2 have substantially elongated prism shape, preferably with quadrangular base, and are arranged in parallel along the direction of the long side.
However, further embodiments can provide for the covering elements 2 having for example squeezed prism shape, for example with polygonal base (preferably square) or circular. In this case, the covering elements 2 will be arranged on the supporting base 1 so that the base of the prism is interfaced with the surface la of the supporting base 1.
In general, the panel according to the present invention comprises a plurality of covering elements 2 of which at least one first covering element 2a is fastened to the supporting base 1 and at least one second covering element 2b is removably constrained to the supporting base 1
Preferably, the covering elements 2 are arranged so that the profiles of two opposing sides of the panel are complementary one to another. For example in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the covering elements 2 are arranged so that the side 10a of the panel 10 has a profile complementary to side 10b. In this way, when multiple panels 10 are fastened in series to a wall, a border line similar to that of a puzzle is formed, that is hardly visible when looking frontally to the panels.
In Figure 2 the panel 10 of Figure 1 is shown without the second covering elements 2b. In particular, after removing the second covering elements 2b from the supporting base 1, portions lc of the supporting base 1 remain uncovered. Thus, the panel 10 can be fastened to a wall by fastening the supporting base at the uncovered portions lc. In particular, the supporting base is fastened by at least one fastening element 3 that, passing through the supporting base at the uncovered portion lc of the supporting base, enters the wall and constrains therewith.
Preferably, the fastening elements comprise at least one flathead rivet. For example in Figure 3, the panel 10 is fastened by four rivets 3 applied by a riveting machine at the uncovered portions lc of the supporting base 1.
However, depending on the type of wall, it is possible to use further types of fastening elements such as self-tapping screws, plugs, etc., still remaining within the scope of protection of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 3A, the covering elements 2 preferably have different thicknesses. More preferably, the second covering elements 2b have thickness higher than the first covering elements 2a adjacent to them, in order to facilitate their removal. However, further embodiments can provide for the second covering elements having thickness lower than the first covering elements and, in general, being able to protrude or being built-in with respect to one or more covering elements 2a adjacent to them, still remaining within the scope of protection of the present invention.
With reference to Figure 3B, the fastening elements 3, for example flathead rivets, are applied by a riveting machine that can be for example of pneumatic or electrical type or with explosive capsule. The rivet is pushed towards the supporting base by passing through it until entering the wall and constraining therewith. After one or more fastening elements 3 have been applied at the uncovered portions lc of the supporting base 1, the fastening element 3 is covered by the previously removed covering element 2b (shown with dashed line).
In summary, the panel is fastened to the wall by carrying out a fastening method comprising the following steps of:
a) removing the second covering elements 2b from the supporting base 1 of the panel 10;
b) fastening the supporting base 1 to the wall by one or more fastening elements 3 (preferably rivets) applied at the portions of the supporting base left uncovered following the removal of the second covering elements 2b; the fastening elements passed through the supporting base enter the wall and constrain therewith;
c) constraining the second covering elements 2b to the supporting base 1 so that to cover the portions lc of supporting base left uncovered following the step a).
Preferably, during step c), the second covering elements 2b can be fastened to the supporting base, for example by silicone.
The method can be applied to a plurality of panels 10 arranged one next to the other for making the wall cover. Preferably, the panels are provided with covering elements arranged on the supporting base so that to form complementary profiles on two opposing sides of the panels. The method advantageously comprises a step of arranging a plurality of panels so that one side of a panel meshes the complementary side of another adjacent panel.
Thus, thanks to the present invention it is possible to simply and rapidly make a heat- insulating cover on a wall by fastening one or more panels 10 according to the present invention to the wall.
Furthermore, by carrying out the steps of the fastening method as described above, it is possible to rapidly fasten a panel, not compromising the aesthetic performance of the panel at all. Once the second covering elements are repositioned (and possibly fastened) on the supporting base 1, the fastening elements 3 are completely covered and are not visible from the outside.
The wall-covering panels according to the present invention can be fastened on insulating materials (by increasing the length of the plug with screw or rivet), on frames (by creating counter- walls or partition walls without using drywall or other cementitious material such as bricks, Gasbeton, etc.), or also on deteriorated walls (avoiding any pretreatment on the fastening surface).
In this way, it is possible to obtain the transpiration and heat-insulating effectiveness by a quick, practical and cheap laying system, and have an already decorative surface as final result.
