Description

DESCRIPTION

PLATE ASSEMBLY FOR FUNERAL TONES OR COMMEMORATIVE PLATES

Technical sector

The invention that is protected in this Utility Model consists of a set of plaque for funeral headstones or commemorative plaques based on a material composed of a mixture of natural minerals and acrylic resins, technically known for the purposes of this invention as Solid Surface or Solid Surface, in its Anglo-Saxon terminology.

The sector to which the present invention refers, and its industrial application, is that of the manufacture of tombstones and commemorative plaques.

Background of the invention

Traditionally, tombstones are created from natural materials, such as marble, stone, and granite, which may include reliefs, textures, and figurative and / or denominational inserts. And more recently, glazed ceramic-based headstones have been implanted. All of them have a great resistance to deterioration in their exposure to the outside and to inclement weather due to their natural composition and weight.

Explanation of the invention

The use of noble and natural materials dates back to time immemorial. However, the passage of time means that the physical phenomena of erosion by water, light and wind, cause alterations in the tombstones and commemorative plaques, as well as in their inserted inscriptions. To this end, the present invention achieves a class of large gravestones and plaques. resistance to weathering and plasticity in its shaping and molding, in addition to its quick and easy repair in handling or once installed.

Therefore, it is a question of achieving configurations of tombstones and plates based on Solid Surface, that is, of a combination of natural minerals and acrylic resins. The traditional qualities of natural minerals - marble, stone, granite or their grindings, crushed or powdered thereof - are maintained and added and combined together with the excellent malleability and plasticity of acrylic resins.

Its main advantage lies in its weight and its malleable quality in the manufacture of memorial stones and plaques, which allows both its transport and handling for its more accessible installation, as well as its multiple configurations. At the same time, it is a material that facilitates the operations of relief, engraving and embossing of figures and names due to its resistance as a completely uniform structure that does not produce cracks or involuntary flakes, nor structural failures.

Indeed, the inherent properties of this material manage to eliminate the technical limitations of the materials known up to now, since it is a malleable material, being able to cut, sand, mill, join, heat bending ... very easily.

In the case of making a tombstone or plaque that includes a high relief or low relief, in the case of traditional materials, it must start with a billet of natural material whose volume is sufficient to cover the entire depth of relief necessary. This usually means wasting material, increasing manufacturing times and production costs, due to the excess material that must be eliminated and wasted. However, in the case of tombstones or plaques from Solid Surfaces, a billet of material is created with measures similar to the high relief or low relief that is desired. obtain, and only that volume is machined, to later chemically join it or insert it to the whole of the tombstone.

Another problem that our invention solves is that of the repair or regeneration of tombstones. The traditionally used materials, in the face of an impact, scratching, vandalism, graffiti ... have no technical solution, except for their replacement. And the possible repair, usually leaves visual defects on the material. However, with Solid Surface headstones or plates, the material can be regenerated, joined with joints imperceptible to the eye and touch, and cleaned with the appropriate chemicals, so that the appearance after repair is identical to the appearance original.

Two very differentiating physical properties between tombstones based on natural or ceramic materials, compared to Solid Surfaces, are thermo-bending and backlighting, being able to obtain very different results from the current ones.

We can establish and list the following list of advantageous characteristics that we have appreciated from private tests, by comparison with existing conventional materials (marble and granite):

1. - Greater resistance to bacteria

2. - Greater resistance to fungi

3. - Greater resistance to chemical agents

4. - It is a regenerable material

5. - Visually the joints are imperceptible

6. - Allows its thermobending

7. - It is low weight

8. - Allows its backlighting

9. - High fire resistance

10. - It is completely recyclable

11. - It is resistant to extreme weather environments

12. - It is easy to clean

13. - It is a non-porous material

14. - It is resistant to the impact of objects

15. - It is resistant to solar radiation and UV rays

All this contributes to providing results and applications where the invention is incorporated, which do not occur in the already known means.

Brief description of the figures

For a better understanding of the general characteristics mentioned above, several drawings are attached to the present invention, which are set out as specified below:

Figure 1 : Plan view, together with a sectional view of a tombstone along the AA axis with a Solid Surface base ( 1 ), where the images, texts, textures and possible ornamental details are implemented, using the milling technique and / or engraved.

Figure 2 : Plan view, next to a section of a tombstone along the BB axis with a Solid Surface base ( 1 ), where the images, texts, textures and possible ornamental details have been previously obtained from another second Surface sheet Different solid ( 2 ), configured by milling and / or trimming. The union between the base plate, and the different elements, is made by means and chemical components (glues, adhesives, etc ...) ( 3 ).

The images, texts, textures and possible ornamental details have been previously obtained from another second superimposed sheet of a different Solid Surface ( 2 ), configured by milling and / or cutting. And the union between the base plate, and the different elements, is made by means of a socket.

The union between both sheets is carried out either chemically ( 3 ) and / or by fitting them

Figure 5 : Plan view, next to a section of a tombstone along the EE axis with a Solid Surface base ( 1 ), where the volume of the Surfaces is obtained by thermoforming, and the rest of the details, such as images, texts, Textures and possible ornamental details are implemented by milling / engraving directly on the same sheet or by means of the chemical bonding or embedding of the different decorative elements.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

The funeral tombstones and commemorative plaques based on Solid Surface are made and arranged as follows: On a Solid Surface base ( 1) the images, texts, textures and possible symbolic or fantasy ornamental details cut out based on metal, construction materials, plastic or acrylic resins, or other Solid Surface, through the technique of mechanical milling and / or manual engraving. It can also be obtained by thermoforming.

Likewise, it can be used and combined with another second Solid Surface sheet, by milling and / or trimming. Images, texts, textures and possible ornamental details, cut out, can also be used. The same stone or plate can be made by thermoforming.

Finally, by a game of superposition of a back lighting system and below ( 4) a Solid Surface ( 1 ) a lighting effect can be projected only when translucent acrylic resins have been used on the Solid Surface, through the implementation of images , texts, textures and possible ornamental details, using the milling technique on the reverse side of said Solid Surface on which the lighting system is located.

The images, texts, textures and possible details can also be obtained through the milling technique on a second different Solid Surface, to later join chemically or by inserting it to the main Solid Surface plate. ( 1 )
