Abstract

Coating and paving part and manufacturing process. It consists of at least a part of rigid material (1) and the remaining part until completing the desired contour is determined by a layer or sheet of resin (2) of crystalline appearance which can be embedded inside decorative elements (4) previously placed before pouring into the mold (3). After the demoulding of the piece, an enamel coating or film (6) that limits the transparency of the crystalline resin (2) is applied to its lower face, this enamel film (6) being able to extend to the entire surface of the piece ( 7). In the manufacturing process according to the invention, the rigid part (1) is placed in the mold (3) of the desired contour, and then the crystalline-looking resin (2) is poured into the remaining holes or spaces. After demolding, acrylic paint or enamel film (6) can be applied to the back of the piece.

Description

Coating and paving part and process of manufacturing.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed by the set forth in this specification, refers to a piece of coating and paving, as well as the manufacturing process of it, easy to manufacture and with some decorative possibilities far superior to those of the currently known pieces, at take advantage of the qualities of a rigid decorative material and those of a resin of crystalline appearance, odorless and high strength mechanical and environmental, once dry, with a geometric shape of its contour that is perfectly adaptable to any Format.

Background of the invention

To date, ceramic tiles are known formed by a clay support and at least one decorated face and / or enameled, usable both to cover walls and floors.

Also known are tiles composed of a  laminated wood, marble, granite, etc., bonded with adhesives chemicals to a clay or fiber cement base or support.

Bicomponent epoxy resins are used to  seal concrete or mortar floors in poor condition, or to Marble treatment filling pores and stiffening the sheets for use as flooring or cladding.

All these products, not even those they combine different multilaminar materials, they offer outstanding aesthetic or decorative possibilities.

Description of the invention

In general, the lining pieces and paving, object of the present invention, as well as the manufacturing process, provide some pieces of cladding and paving consisting of at least a part of rigid material with a decorative face or both, of a material that It can be defined by a conventional ceramic piece, wood, marble, or even a conveniently treated metal, in which at less on one of its corresponding sides or lateral surfaces to the edges, it has attached a resin sheet of practically the same thickness as the rigid material, or exactly equal to same, crystalline appearance and whose adhesion is obtained in the own drying process of said resin.

The epoxy type resin is preferably bicomponent and self-leveling type, being able to fill in addition closed spaces formed in the rigid piece.

The resin that complements the geometric shape of the desired contour for the piece, it has its plane superior to the same level of the plane or decorated face of the rigid piece, or slightly lower, depending on the application.

As the resin layer is crystalline, once the piece has been formed and demoulded, after a drying time, an enamel coating or film is applied on the underside that provides a bottom that limits the transparency of the resin. This film can only affect the resin sheet, or all the
set.

As a highly decorative element for these pieces, the resin can have solid elements embedded in it Decorative of any kind.

Facilitating the grip of the rigid part with the resin, the lateral surface or edge of the rigid pieces, in al less adhesion surfaces, it is oblique with respect to the face Top view and decorated.

As for the manufacturing process of these cladding and paving parts, the technique of emptying for which in a mold of the desired contour for pieces, the rigid piece embedded in the desired location (a lateral or central zone).

It is then poured into the gaps or Remaining spaces, the resin to the desired level.

Optionally they will have been added previously and in  these spaces to be occupied by the resin decorative elements that are desired.

Then the piece is subjected to a process of drying whose time will depend on the type of resin employee.

After demolding, it can be applied an acrylic paint on the back or enamel film for limit the transparency of the resin, as we have said previously.

To facilitate the understanding of characteristics of the invention and forming an integral part of this Descriptive report, a sheet of plans is attached in whose figures, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature represented the following:

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1. It is an elevation view of a piece of  cladding and paving, in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2. It is a sectioned elevation view, which  shows different phases of the manufacturing process of the parts of figure 1.

Description of the preferred embodiment

Referring to the numbering adopted in the figures, we can see how the lining piece and paving, which the invention proposes, is formed by a piece of rigid material (1) such as a ceramic strip that occupies part of the total surface of the piece to be formed, and another part that Determine the referenced crystalline resin sheet with (2). The epoxy resin is poured into a mold (3) in which previously the rigid part (1) has been placed in the desired place. Before the pouring of the resin (2) the material can be placed decorative solid (4) in the remaining area of the mold (3), which it will be embedded in the resin (2) and it will be perfectly visible from the upper face seen from the piece. A Once dry after the convenient setting time, the resin part It is perfectly attached to the edge of the rigid piece (1).

Reference (5) designates the surface of lateral contact between both parts (1) and (2).

As a fund that limits the transparency of the resin (2) an enamel coating or film (6) is applied, once it is demoulded. The lining piece and Paving, completely finished, is referenced in general with the number 7 in figure 1.

The different phases can be seen in figure 2 molding (upper part), demoulded part (central area) and coating layer that is applied to the underside of the piece unmold, as schematically shown at the bottom of this figure 2. You can also see how the surface seen from the crystalline resin (2) does not make up with the visible surface of the rigid piece (1), determining a small step that It is also decorative in many of the applications.

The rigid part (1) can contain in its surface, holes or windows that will also be occupied with solid decorative material (4) and with resin, contributing to the esthetic. Similarly, the contact surface (5) of the part rigid (1) with the resin sheet (2), it can be flat or count with incoming and / or outgoing with what is achieved, in addition to decorative effect, a greater grip surface for these components, both for increasing the surface and for the action of locked that is produced by the existence of projections and projections complementary. As we said before, this is also contact surface (5) may be oblique instead of perpendicular to the surface seen, optimizing the joint.

In an example of practical embodiment, the part rigid (1) is a ceramic listero and the resin, epoxy, dries to a temperature above 15 ° C for a time of 24 hours.

After demolding, in this example of embodiment, an acrylic paint was applied to the back that dried on eight hours, leaving the lining and paving piece (7) ready for placement.
