FR2503638A1 - Method of forming road reflectors - uses crushed broken or granulated glass mixed with resin and formed to shape - Google Patents

Abstract

The process manufactures constructional or cladding components, using crushed, broken, scrap or granulated glass. These can be formed on a continuous surface, and the glass can be mixed with resin or adhesive, to form a slab, block, plate or any other desired shape. The process can be used to form reflective surfaces picked up by the headlights of motor vehicles.

Description

 The present invention relates to a decoration process made of crushed glass and its manufacturing device.

 Indeed, the use of recuperated or other crushed glass allows all artistic decorations of partitions, walls, floor coverings or any other objects that can be made translucent.

These crushed or granular glasses may have any shape, any size and appropriate thickness according to the desired result;
Example: setting up windows, stained glass, flower vases, monuments and funeral ornaments without fear of bad weather; the facades of pavilions, the walls can by translucent lighting give the best decorative effect, oe glass Can be of all colors.

 the manufacturing process for these materials is as follows: It consists of an amalgam of crushed, granulated, broken or other glasses mixed with resins, epoxy, polyester, or glues, currently on the market.

 This mixture is carried out as for the quote, it can be spread on a flat surface, on which it cannot remain adhered, serving only for molding. According to the strong chosen.

 For public works, this device can allow night and day to signal dangerous passages thanks to raised patterns which. struck by the beam of the headlights of the cars, return the light whatever their incidence.

 This amalgam of glasses can be molded, with or without relief, it is understood that this process allows the waste of all glasses to be used; such as bottles, dishes, panes etc ...

 the drawings shown by way of example showing some applications of this process, are given here only as a schematic, non-limiting indicative and subject to numerous variants of embodiments and applications as a new industrial product.

FIG I - represents in example, seen in section, an amalgam of crushed glass (2) mixed with resins, epoxy, polyester or adhesives in a bowl (I) or plate in or on which this amalgam, once hardened, can be removed and constitute a alone the plate or the object sought
This amalgam is translucent.

 FIG - 2 - represents the same translucent amalgam, constituting either a decorative panel or partition, being lighted in (3) from the rear.

 FIG - 3) Represent this ainalge: e (2) constituting a molded crown, but could also represent a tombstone or the decoration of a funeral moment.

 FIG 4 - represents a concrete block whose outer face (I) will be lined with an amalgam (2) of crushed glass presenting itself in relief.

 FIG - 5 - alternatively represents the application of a pot holder (I) whose exterior (2) will be lined with crushed glass making it translucent thanks to an interior light (3). In (6) the removable pot containing the plant and the soil.

 FIG - 6 - represents the constitution of a rose window or stained glass window (8).

in (7) the partitions imitating the lead rebates made of a recessed plate. In (I) the circle or bowl in which the amalgam of resin glasses, epoxy or polyester glue will be made. EN (9) the marble or flat plastic work table on which the amalgam will be composed.

 Fig - 7 - shows the same rose seen in section.

FIG - 8 - represents a lampshade (I) In (2) the amalgamated glasses,
In (3) the light bulb.

 Of course, the invention will be well understood by referring to the description and to the drawings or objects indicated as an example, but it may vary in shape, model, material, dimensions, without altering the principle and the idea of the invention, the aim being to stay within the idea of a new object of this present patent.
