Description

Revestimiento de metal en madera. Metal cladding in wood.

La presente invención se reﬁere a un sistema para el revestimiento en metal de todo tipo de puertas, sus complementos y muebles de madera de densidad media, consistente en la adhesión de capas de metal del mismo perﬁl que la pieza de madera a la que se va a recubrir, mediante cola termofusible. Las piezas de madera a recubrir son todas las puertas y sus marcos, sus complementos, tableros, paneles en general, duelas, paredes, batientes. The present invention refers to a system for the metal cladding of all types of doors, their accessories and wooden furniture of medium density, consisting of the adhesion of metal layers of the same profile as the piece of wood to which it is going to be coated, by hot melt glue. The pieces of wood to be covered are all the doors and their frames, their complements, boards, panels in general, staves, walls, hinges.

El empleo de la madera y sobre todo en madera de densidad media en cuanto a fabricación de todo tipo de muebles es apreciado en el conjunto global de la decoración. La madera es limpia, es decorativa, es agradable a la vista. Es por eso mismo que su demanda en el mercado que es tan aceptable debe tomar partida por una alternativa decorativa original y versátil. La madera es un material ortotrópico encontrado como principal contenido del tronco de un árbol. Los árboles se caracterizan por tener troncos que crecen cada año y que están compuestos por ﬁbras de celulosa unidas con lignina. The use of wood and especially in medium density wood in terms of manufacturing all types of furniture is appreciated in the overall decoration. The wood is clean, decorative, pleasing to the eye. That is why its demand in the market that is so acceptable must take part in an original and versatile decorative alternative. Wood is an orthotropic material found as the main content of a tree trunk. The trees are characterized by trunks that grow every year and are composed of cellulose fibers joined with lignin.

Una vez cortada y seca la madera se utiliza para muy diferentes aplicaciones. Una de ella es la utilización por artistas y carpinteros para tallarla y unirla con herramientas especiales. La madera es también un material de construcción. En la presente memoria tratamos con tableros de densidad media que son aquellos que tienen ambas caras lisas y que se fabrican mediante un proceso seco. Las ﬁbras son encoladas gracias a un adhesivo de resina sintética. Constituyen una base excelente para enchapados y reciben bien las pinturas. Once the wood has been cut and dried, it is used for very different applications. One of them is the use by artists and carpenters to carve and join it with special tools. Wood is also a building material. Here we deal with medium density boards that are those that have both smooth faces and are manufactured by a dry process. The fibers are glued thanks to a synthetic resin adhesive. They constitute an excellent base for veneers and receive paints well.

La presente invención tiene su campo de aplicación en la industria de la madera en general y, singularmente, en la industria de la decoración de muebles, puertas y sus complementos en madera o cualquier otro tipo de material de densidad media. The present invention has its field of application in the wood industry in general and, singularly, in the industry of decoration of furniture, doors and their complements in wood or any other type of medium density material.

El estado de la técnica aporta algunos modelos de características algo similares, aunque ninguno con las novedades que propone la presente invención. The state of the art provides some models of somewhat similar characteristics, although none with the novelties proposed by the present invention.

Así el documento U 9700253, propone un sistema de acoplar perﬁles de aluminio a una ventana ya instalada. También el documento U 200401086 presenta una solución consistente en perforar el perﬁl de aluminio con el de madera dejando una distancia entre ambos para introducir una herramienta que los haga acoplarse mutuamente sea el perﬁl que sea. De igual forma el documento U 0176788 describe una serie de anclajes en especial los clavos o clips para la unión del aluminio con la madera. Hoy día encontramos en el mercado tableros rechapados con láminas de madera natural. También los encontramos revestido con papel con sus distintas imitaciones a madera y de distintos colores. Thus, document U 9700253 proposes a system of coupling aluminum profiles to an already installed window. Also, document U 200401086 presents a solution consisting in perforating the aluminum with the wooden profile, leaving a distance between them to introduce a tool that makes them engage with each other, whatever the profile. Similarly, document U 0176788 describes a series of anchors, especially nails or clips for joining aluminum with wood. Today we find in the market boards rejected with sheets of natural wood. We also find them coated with paper with their different imitations of wood and different colors.

Frente la presente invención estos sistemas conocidos arrojan grandes inconvenientes como: Faced with the present invention, these known systems throw great disadvantages such as

--: Su elevado coste, necesidad de aparatos especiales y costosos para llevar a cabo su cometido e intervención de personal especializado y una dudosa efectividad.

Todos estos elementos conjugados dan lugar a un resultado ﬁnal en el que se aportan características diferenciadoras signiﬁcativas frente al estado de la técnica actual. All these conjugated elements give rise to a final result in which significant differentiating characteristics are provided compared to the current state of the art.

Así, la presente invención se constituye a partir del recubrimiento de maderas de densidad media con planchas o perﬁles de metal creados conforme al deseo del usuario o las preferencias del mercado. La adhesión del metal a la madera se realiza a través de dos tipos distintos de adhesivos termofusibles de distinta composición para el encolado del metal que para el de la madera. Su uso es apropiado para molduras, batientes, tanto para decoración de puertas de paso como de cocinas, para cuadros, para el revestimiento de paredes, para puertas y para tableros convencionales. Los batientes y las molduras se recubren en su parte superior por perﬁles de metal de su mismo dibujo abarcando dicho perﬁl los lados y como continuación de ellos una parte de la base, no su totalidad, sino el ángulo inferior o canto. De la misma forma obramos con las molduras que pueden ser fabricadas conforme al diseño del mismo usuario. Las duelas van cubiertas de metal por la parte que se va a exponer una vez instalada y cubre toda la superﬁcie continuando por sus cantos exactamente hasta cubrir los ángulos que se generan. Las puertas se recubren por las dos caras o batientes recubriendo los cantos de cada una. Los tableros van solamente recubriendo ambas superﬁcies. El brillo del metal es a elegir por el usuario. Thus, the present invention is constituted from the coating of medium-density woods with plates or metal profiles created according to the user's desire or market preferences. The adhesion of the metal to the wood is done through two different types of hot melt adhesives of different composition for the gluing of the metal than for that of the wood. Its use is appropriate for moldings, hinges, both for decorating doors and kitchens, for paintings, for wall cladding, for doors and for conventional boards. The hinges and the moldings are covered in their upper part by metal profiles of the same drawing, said profile comprising the sides and as a continuation of them a part of the base, not its entirety, but the lower angle or edge. In the same way we work with the moldings that can be manufactured according to the design of the same user. The staves are covered with metal on the part that will be exposed once installed and covers the entire surface continuing along its edges exactly to cover the angles that are generated. The doors are covered by both sides or hinges covering the edges of each one. The boards only cover both surfaces. The brightness of the metal is to be chosen by the user.

En otra forma distinta los perﬁles y chapas de metal van adheridos no a madera de densidad media, sino a plásticos en general. In a different way, metal profiles and sheets are adhered not to medium density wood, but to plastics in general.

Otra realización diferente se constituye a partir de los perﬁles y chapas de metal en madera que no es de densidad media, sino de una densidad más alta o menos alta. Another different embodiment is constituted from the profiles and metal sheets in wood that is not of medium density, but of a higher or less high density.

En otra realización distinta, los perﬁles y chapas de metal van en rellenos de escayola. In another different embodiment, the metal profiles and sheets are filled with plaster.

Distintamente se puede efectuar sobre metacrilato. Differently it can be done on methacrylate.

2. Statement motivated according to articles 29.6 and 29.7 of the Regulations for the execution of Law 11/1986, of March 20, on Patents on novelty and inventive activity; quotes and explanations in support of this statement

The patent application describes a metallic coating on medium density wood hinges based on plates or metal profiles by means of a thermal fusible adhesive. For hinges and moldings, the three surfaces seen are covered, extending briefly on the back surface. To cover the staves, metal profiles are also used that cover them on their three faces, the doors are completely covered and the panels on its two main surfaces. Patent D01 describes a metallic coating for wood (it does not say whether or not they are of medium density). By means of plates or metal profiles. The adhesion of the metal to the wood is done by means of an adhesive (it does not say whether it is thermo fusible or not). It can be used on hinges, doors, boards, moldings. The profiles cover the hinges or moldings on their three seen sides and extend in part of the rear surface. Document D01 is considered a priority because although it does not cover the content of the first claim, it is evident to a person skilled in the art that a stave can be coated with a metal plate by means of an adhesive and by its three outer surfaces. The same applies to the explanation given for the lining of a door and a panel. Regarding its adaptation to a molding, document D02 is attached. Document D02 protects a decorative molding for use in automobiles. On a rigid polymer base, a metal foil that adopts the shape of the molding is adhered. The D03 patent claims a door frame with a medium-density wood-based interior and a metal cover such as aluminum. Document D04 covers the external part of the wooden structure of a window with a metal plate. Document D05 refers to a panel with a wood or chipboard base, or plastic foam, or a mixture of metallic and non-metallic materials covered by a sheet or metal plate secured by a thermal adhesive. Document D06 uses a metal lining to cover the structure of an exterior door, in this case it is elastically deformable and therefore adapted to the shape of the wood. Other patents containing isolated aspects claimed in the patent application are cited. It should be mentioned that the claims are not written in a "clear and concise" manner as set forth in Article 26 of Patent Law 11/86 and in Art. 7 R.P. In addition, the claims do not contain a "definition of the object whose protection is requested" that "concisely state the technical characteristics to be protected" as required in Art. 7 of the R.P. The exposure of numerous alternatives or possible design features, as in the present claims, cannot be considered as "definition" of the invention, but instead, it is not clear to which design features the protection actually requested refers. Still we see that the cited patents reflect the content of the patent application and therefore it is considered that the patent as it has been drafted has no inventive activity according to Art. 8.1 of Patent Law 11/86, but it does It is new according to Art.6.1 of Patent Law 11/86 since no patent has been found that reflects the entire contents of the first claim and the other dependents.
