CERAMIC PLATE EXPOSURE SYSTEM

The object of the invention is to display ceramic tile panels and, in particular, a magnetic, modular and customized exposure system.

The competition in the ceramic tile market is very high and the market is constantly changing. Each year, the manufacturers market new ceramic tile models that are presented in specialized showrooms / exhibitions. Ceramic plate display panels are typically metal structures that support chipboard or fibrous wood panels / medium density pallets or ultra-light panels with the manufacturer's logo on it, a sample image as well as an indication of the ceramic plate collection and some samples of ceramic tiles.

In this field, panel exposures made of fibrous wood / medium density pallets, particle board, lightweight, cardboard or other similar panel-based products for exhibition purposes are known. Branding / marking for these types of panels is done by gluing a sheet printed on the panel and ceramic tiles or products intended for exhibition are usually glued with soldering gun or self-adhesive tape.

Whenever the ceramic tile collection is changed or just one tile in the collection, the manufacturer will update all previously delivered panels at various market points so that, for example, old panels are withdrawn from the showrooms. who have the collection of ceramic plates affixed to them, new wood-based panels are purchased marked with the manufacturer's logo, the ceramic plates are applied to these panels with permanent adhesive and the packages for delivery to the distribution channels are properly prepared. This process is very costly and represents one of the major costs that the ceramic tile manufacturer covers from its marketing budget because the process involves not only the costs of purchasing the new panels but also the adjacent costs for storage, transport, logistics, packaging, recycling of panels removed and so on. Also, the installation process of the panels affects the normal activity of the points

$ - 2 Ο 1θ '' 001921 7 -03- 2016, and involves difficult handling procedures during which some ceramic tiles can be broken.

From the document of the prior art EP2853179 A1 there is known a system of exposures with switches and the quick mounting for planar elements thereof, namely a system provided with a surface capable of easily exposing planar elements of interest, in which this exposure surface is endowed with a distributed magnetic field and is made of a layer of synthetic rubber or plastic material equipped with ferromagnetic dispersion of activated material to create the aforementioned magnetic field; each planar element or the like is provided with at least one attachment means applied by means of an adhesive layer on the support face of the planar element of interest, and includes dispersion or ferromagnetic continuity of the material.

The panel described above has the disadvantage that it is too heavy, even in the absence of glued ceramic tiles, which makes it unusable for classic metal frame displays because they are not designed to support such an additional weight. In addition, high weight ceramic tiles need significant magnetic force to hold these markings upright on the panel. Another significant disadvantage of patent application EP2853179 A1 is that the system is provided with a thin material layer between the parts to be supported, for example the plates, and the magnetic rubber layer. This significantly reduces the friction between metal and rubber and decreases the magnetic field. Therefore, the system cannot support heavy ceramic plates that exceed 20 kg / m ² because the heavy plates will interact directly with the photographic thin sheet of material which will result in reduced friction.

In addition, the method used in the prior art to customize, that is, direct printing on a roll that completely covers the panel is not financially effective compared to the solution presented in this application.

Also, the state of the art does not offer complete solutions for assembly or disassembly, the removal of the magnetized plates is not easy after they have been ί \ - 2 Ο 1 Ε - - 00182I 7-03-23 (6 exposed per ο period of time In addition, the arrangement of the new ceramic tiles is difficult to execute unless a special template / pattern is designed for this operation.

The object of the present invention is to provide a ceramic tile display system that provides a multifunctional solution that can be easily and quickly updated, that is to say a rapidly changing ceramic tile display system capable of withstanding the demands and shocks of normal use.

The adhesion of the ceramic plates to the surface of the panel is strong enough to prevent them from detaching when the panel is upright.

Therefore, this invention provides a ceramic tile display system consisting of:

- a base panel with a thin sheet of metal applied to one or both sides by means of an adhesive layer that sticks to the sheet of thin metal, this sheet of metal being provided on the opposite side of the panel with a layer of non-stick paint, and

- a replacement kit containing at least one self-adhesive magnetic foil for each part to be exposed and, optionally, a tool for disassembly.

The non-stick paint layer is characterized by the presence of a succession of layers, for example polyethylene as a protective layer, acrylics as a top coat, polyester as a primer layer, chrome as a chemical layer, and a coating of the inner face on the element 4, usually polyethylene.

If the base panel has only one side adhesive layer, a melamine balancing layer on the other side of the panel may optionally be attached to reduce the stresses caused by attaching an additional element to only one side of the panel. the base.

Also, the upgrade kit may also contain a printed magnetic imprint of the brand, produced in accordance with customer requirements and / or a template

Λ- 2 016 - - Ο 0191 - Ύ,

7 -03- 2010 Intuitive modular together with a set of instructions for the quick and precise arrangement of the updated plates. The printed magnetic inscription may be, for example, an isotropic or anisotropic magnetic foil with a self-adhesive printable foil or sticker directly attached to it, with a thickness between 0.2 and 0.8 mm. The self-adhesive magnetic sheet for each part to be exposed can be isotropic and can have a thickness between 0.5 mm and 2 mm.

The tool for disassembly is metallic, with the upper part in the shape of 'u and capable of supporting a landmark. The "u" profile fins are thin so that one of the fins can easily reach below the mark and can detach it with a short upward movement.

The upgrade kit can include multiple engraving positions, multiple shapes, and self-adhesive magnetic sheets are sized (as tensile strength and surface tension) to support any type of plate requested by the customer. Additionally, the base panel is available in various thicknesses, shapes and sizes, as presented above, to fit any metal frame display. This fact creates a major economic and logistical advantage for the customer when implementing the product because it does not present the need to change the exhibitors on metal frame that are already located in the points of sale.

The panel system can be optimized with other attractive features that include a magnetic brochure holder, magnetic tag indicators for each ceramic plate, detachable promotional messages. Various other features, uses and designs of the panel system can be put into practice to meet the client's utility or aesthetic requirements. For example, if the panel base plate is to be weatherproof, such as the HPL plate, the panel may be used outside to expose ceramic tiles that will be used outdoors (wall cladding, clinker, pool wall plates).

The ceramic plates applied in this innovative way benefit not only from the magnetism created between the ferromagnetic base plate and the magnetic base of the ceramic plates but also (¢ -2016-- 0 0 1 9 2 1 Ί -03-2816 from the friction that occurs between the two The rubbing was optimized by using the special adhesive paint layer applied to the base panel.

Another problem that this solution answers is the creation of a more sustainable and recyclable product that reduces the wood consumption required for the panel updating process by more than 80%. This saving of consumption comes from the fact that the panels will not change every time a collection is updated, because first the panels are installed and only afterwards the ceramic plates and the graphic marks are changed. The replaced materials are completely recyclable.

Replacing the decorative elements of the walls with other elements that change the presentation by attaching with magnetic material applied with adhesives even the decorative element is a method known in the art and can serve as a basis for the present invention. However, the present invention does not refer to a universal fixing system but to a complete solution, designed and intended for the process of exposing ceramic tiles on panels, which provides the specific features that appear during this process - such as, for example, the inscription. the panel, the correct placement of the ceramic tiles by using a special innovative template, the use of various types of ceramic tiles and their support, the shocks suffered by the panels during execution, transport and life cycle, production methods, etc.

The solution proposed by the present invention ensures not only the change of ceramic tiles that are updated but also the complete updating of the display panel with new graphics accompanying the new ceramic tiles.

In addition, the current solution is a solution to various problems that arise from the very production process of the panel. For example, when the supplier has to update a large collection of ceramic tiles and uses the technique known in the art, a process that can take months, the manufacturer can remove / remove / remove from the list some of the items (stock items) from the list. various reasons (supply of raw materials, poor performance of the product when tested on the market, etc.). In this case, if a single stock unit is removed from the list in a collection, then the entire panel must be changed, even if the other samples are still available. Also, if for any reason, 5 ^ -2016-- 0 0 1 9 2 ¹ i -03- 2010 a panel built by the technique known in the art reaches the market with an unsatisfactory composition, the solution to remedy this mistake is the complete change of the entire panel. A well-known limit in the art is that the seller cannot create a certain composition with a collection consisting of the best-selling milestones of the season to run, but must order a certain composition of the panel from the supplier. It is also known that the display panels are manufactured and delivered at the points of sale by ceramic tile manufacturers directly. Therefore, the trader currently has a single-panel exposure limit of a composition of ceramic tiles provided by different manufacturers. In addition, the trader cannot submit limited-time offers of exhibition space on a panel as he would like, because he must order a specific panel for each display of ceramic products sent from the factory.

The system presented by the invention is an alternative to the classic panel display system; according to the new system, updating a collection or changing in any way the ceramic tiles already displayed on the panel no longer requires the entire ceramic display panel to be changed. The customer initially receives the system consisting of a single panel cut to size in accordance with the existing metal structure, the panel is delivered empty together with the first upgrade kit that it will fix on the ceramic plates. In this way, the ceramic plates can be magnetically fixed to the hollow panel. The system is defined especially by the use of extremely heavy products that are intended to keep them upright. A ceramic plate can reach up to 20 kg in weight.

As noted above, the process of replacing the panel at points of sale represents a major cost that affects the marketing budget of a ceramic tile manufacturer. Therefore, there is an apparent need to find a solution that will reduce costs, time and storage space and that will require at least the marketing points when updating. There is also a need for ceramic manufacturers as well as outlets to replace even a single piece of ceramic tile if that plate is not in compliance or is not selling well. In addition, there is a need to display promotional messages on the panel in a simple, uncomplicated way, with no complications to allow the panel to easily return to the initial state of the panel. For example, it is the case of the "new arrivals" or "sale" items. All these disadvantages are solved by the system of the present invention. Also, the presented system is environmentally friendly because the consumption of chipboard or MDF panels is reduced by more than 80% through this system.

The proposed system of the invention is used, preferably, in specialized stores for the display of ceramic tiles, but also in DIY stores, showrooms, etc. The system can also be used when displaying products at fairs, when a fair stand recreates the frame of a ceramic tile showroom.

In addition to ensuring better utility and ease of use, the system can also be used in exhibition spaces with various configurations, such as, for example, a stand-alone panel, a partition wall or as cladding layers. different ambient ceramic tiles can be applied later (1: 1 scale).

The system also has the possibility to satisfy the user's aesthetic tastes and needs. In this regard, the coating layer of the panel may be in various colors or a permanent (or equivalent) screen printing may be added. These beneficial aspects included in the applications of the present invention, as well as other advantageous features will be described below.

In another embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method of obtaining a ready-to-use panel for the exhibition, a method consisting of the following steps:

a) the base panel with adhesive layer is fed on one side in an advancement device provided with means of scrolling the metal sheet with a speed between the speed of roll of the sheet of metal and the rate of hardening of the adhesive,

b) roll the sheet metal over the base panel, where the base panel and the roll with sheet metal are centered using the guide rollers,

c) press the metal sheet over the base panel at room temperature, << 2 0 1 6 - 001921 7 -03- 20 »• v

d) the steps from points (a) to (c) are optionally applied to the second surface of the base panel.

In another embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for arranging ceramic tiles on a base panel as the one obtained above, a method consisting of the following steps:

- a template is fixed on the panel starting from the bottom by centering it on the metal structure that supports the panel,

- the first row of plates is arranged by guiding them in the mentioned patterns,

- the template is removed first,

- the guide template is fixed above the last row of plates formed by its centering using the upper edge of the last row of plates,

- the plates are arranged by guiding them into templates,

- the templates are removed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Referring to the attached drawings, FIG. 1 shows a panel 1 with classical exposure known in the art as having ceramic plates 10 glued to it with ceramic adhesive 11, as can be seen in section A-A, detail B. Section A presents a section through the finished panel. Also, FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b illustrates the exposure of the panel inscription (graphic / photo) (5. Graphic element 15 is either printed on a sticker and then laminated on the panel or printed directly on the panel. FIG. 1 provides a better understanding of the technological challenges to which the present invention responds. The panel built according to the classical method is practically a block of materials put together by permanent adhesives and lacks any modularity.

In addition, for a better understanding, FIG. 2 presents the process of replacing a classic panel built on an exhibitor with an existing metal frame. FIG. 2a illustrates an exhibitor with a classic metal frame, FIG. 2b, FIG. 2c and FIG. 2d shows the assembly of a classic panel on a metallic structure. The disassembly of the panel on the exhibitor's frame can also be seen clearly from FIG. 2, this operation is usually performed by at least two qualified persons, equipped with tools.

FIG.3 represents a panel P according to the invention which will be used together with the upgrade kit. Panel P contains the base panel 2, usually made of chipboard or medium-density fibers, the adhesive layer 3 is used to bond the thin metal sheet 4 to the base panel 2, and a thin layer of paint is applied to the thin metal sheet 4. special adherent 5.

FIG. 4 shows a cross section through the panel which is in accordance with this invention. The panel of the invention has two applications. FIG. 4a shows a one-sided panel where the thin metal sheet 4 is applied only on one side of the panel. FIG. 4b shows a double-sided panel where the thin metal sheet 4 is applied to both sides of the base panel 2. A realignment example representing the single-sided panel comprises a base panel 2 an adhesive layer 3, a thin metal sheet 4, an adhesive paint layer 5 and a melamine or balance paper layer or other similar material 6 provided on the opposite side of the thin metal sheet 5. The embodiment which represents ^ -1016--00192-. tX

I 7 -03- 2016 The two-sided panel does not contain layer 6, it having only two sequences of layers 3, 4 and 5 that have been defined above.

FIG. 5 shows an example of placing the magnetic sheets 12 on the ceramic plates 10. Depending on the characteristics of the ceramic plates, especially the thickness, weight, pattern on the back of the ceramic plate, various combinations, assemblies and types of magnetic sheets can be used.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the new panel system P with all the components installed, namely the base panel 2, the adhesive layer 3 used for fastening the thin metal sheet 4 covered with the adhesive paint layer 5, the ready-made ceramic plates 10 and a example of affixing the customer's mark printed on a magnetic foil 16.

According to the illustration in FIG.7, components 10 and 16 are part of the upgrade kit which also contains a custom-made mounting template 14 for easy installation of the ceramic plates 10 on the panel as well as a tool 13 for disassembling the plates. The upgrade kit comes in a box. In one application, the kit does not include ceramic tiles because they can be delivered separately. In addition, FIG. 7 shows the back of the ceramic plates after mounting the self-adhesive magnetic sheet 12 in the upgrade kit. The magnetic foil has a self-adhesive face which, depending on the back of the ceramic plate, can self-level or not (in this case a thick / spongy self-adhesive is used).

The placement of the ceramic plates 10 referred to on panel P is described in FIG. 8; the intuitive modular template 14 is used for the quick and correct arrangement of the ceramic tiles.

The upgrade kit is provided with instructions and, thus, even an unqualified person can assemble the ceramic plates 10 and the magnetic inscription printed 16 on the panel P. The modular template 14 is magnetic and FIG. 8 shows that the starting point is always chosen from the bottom of the panel. As I mentioned, the intuitive modular template 14 is designed and cut to match ceramic tiles. in FIG. 8b, the modular template 14 is centered using the metal frame and the first ceramic plate 10 is thus placed. The first row of plates will use as the mounting bracket the top plates il ^ -2016--00192I 7 -03-2MS as shown in Figures 8d, 8e and 8f. Figures 8d, 8e, 8f, 8g and 8h show various types of ceramic tiles 10 which are arranged using the intuitive modular template 14. This example shows the ease of use of this method of laying ceramic tiles. FIG. 8I illustrates how to apply the printed magnetic inscription 16 delivered in the box with the rest of the kit on panel P. The inscription runs simply on the designated part of the panel. FIG. 8j shows the disassembly of the printed magnetic imprint 16 and FIG. 8k shows the panel after the printed magnetic imprint 16 has been removed. The plates are disassembled from the panel P by the use of a special tool which is fastened under the ceramic plate 10 and provides a suitable attachment.

FIG. 9 illustrates the technological execution process of the wood-based panel with a thin metal sheet 4. Higher productivity and good quality can be achieved by using this production method, by the direct roll press method. Thus, FIG.9 shows a wooden base panel 2 (can be made of chipboard or fibrolemeal plate which is loaded manually or automatically onto the conveyor 20. The wood plates are aligned with the guide rollers 22 and are moved. of the feed rollers 21. The top and bottom of the drawing are shown thin metal sheet rolls 4 previously coated with a special adhesive paint layer, rollers which are mounted on the roll feed mechanism. As the thin metal sheet it advances, it is covered with a two-component adhesive 3 by a system of adhesive stretching by oscillation 24. When the panel and the thin metal sheet reach the tread, they are aligned and pre-pressed by the alignment rollers 23, and thereafter they are pressed by the press rollers 25. then the panels are cut to the desired length by a movable circular canvas 26. The final result is panel P which is ready for use for purpose The exposure of the ceramic plates The bottom of FIG. 9 shows the method of producing a two-sided panel, describing the same system of advancement and stretching of the adhesive as the one represented at the top. In the case of a two-sided panel, the installation represented under the base panel 2 (4 and 24 at the bottom of the figure) is activated.

First of all, we want to emphasize that panel P can be delivered in different thicknesses, usually from 3 mm to 40 mm, depending on the application. As a rule, on the exhibits with metallic structure, the preferred embodiments have a thickness of 10 mm, 16 mm and 18 mm. Panel P contains, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, a sequence of layers that are each important. Base panel 2 is usually made of a wooden base plate, such as chipboard, medium density fiberboard or wood fiber board - the most common being chipboard. Other types of rigid plates can be used, for example polystyrene or cardboard or honeycomb cardboard, light plate and so on. The base panel 2 has a length ranging from 400 mm to 3000 mm, a width from 150 mm to 2100 mm and a thickness from 3 mm to 40 mm. The preferred embodiment to be used in metal structure display units is a base panel 2 with a thickness between 6 mm and 20 mm, a width between 600 mm and 1100 mm and a length between 1300 mm up to 2200 mm. In other embodiments, the panel P may also be produced as a flexible panel to support the mosaic tiles.

The adhesive layer 3 is the adhesive applied for fixing the thin metal sheet 4. In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive layer 3 is a two-component adhesive with fast curing time which begins the curing process when the base panel 2 contacts the sheet. of thin metal 4. One-component adhesive can also be used. The peculiarity of this adhesive is that it can glue a sheet of metal to the base panel 2 having the characteristics described above. The thin sheet of galvanized metal 4 has as a special feature a thickness that varies between 0.1 mm and 2 mm. In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the thin metal sheet 4 is between 0.1 mm to 0.8 mm, especially depending on the base support and the desired application. The best application indicates that the thin metal sheet 4 varies between 0.18 mm and 0.4 mm with optimum weight / performance results on a 0.25 mm sheet. Usually, the thin metal sheet 4 has the same width as the base panel 2 in any of the applications. The length of the thin metal sheet 4 is cut to size from a roller by the device with the circular movable canvas 26.

A key element of panel P is the non-slip paint layer 5, which is characterized by a succession of layers such as, for example, polyethylene for the protective layer, acrylic for the top layer, polyester as a primer layer, chromium as a chemical layer and a coating layer. inner face coating on element 4, usually polyethylene. In a preferred embodiment, the non-slip paint coating 5 has the following layer thicknesses: 50 µm polyethylene as a protective layer, 7 7 2 µm acrylic paint, 15 2 2 µm polyester paint, 1 µm chrome as a chemical coating, 5 µm ± 2 pm PE support layer. The gloss of the non-slip paint layer 5 in a preferred embodiment is 85 ± 10, but the paint layer may also be matt (below 40 + 10) due to the adhering properties of the film.

The element 6 is a balancing material on the back of the base panel 2 intended to release the stresses caused by the attachment of an additional element only to one of the parts of the basic panel 2. The layer of balancing material 6 has the same surface as the thin metal sheet. and is a feature of the single-sided metal panel. A layer of non-stick paint 5 will be added automatically in the case of panel P with metallic face and two sides.

The layer 16 represents the characteristic marks of the customer, namely the mark placed on the panel, named in the description of the present invention as printed magnetic inscription. This does not have certain size characteristics because the branding is done in accordance with the client's design / sketch, in any shape or color desired. Item 16 is a magnetic foil with a printable self-adhesive foil or sticker. The sticker can be printed separately with a classic printing machine and then laminated with a classic laminating machine on the magnetic sheet. The magnetic foil does not have to be self-adhesive. The other option for item 16 is to be made from a magnetic foil delivered with printable foil attached, and printed directly on the magnetic roller. The printed magnetic branding 16 is characterized by the fact that it is an isotropic or anisotropic magnetic foil with a thickness between 0.2 and 0.8 mm. In a preferred embodiment, the film thickness is between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. The printed magnetic branding 16 can be cut with a laser cutting machine or with a machine ^ - 2 0 1 6 - 00192î 7 -03- 2018

with oscillating knife. Simple cuts will be done manually or with guillotine. In one embodiment, the printed magnetic branding 16 must completely cover panel P, while in other applications, where ceramic plates 10 with self-adhesive magnetic foil 12 come into contact with panel P, it is recommended to perform hidden cuts. in the printed magnetic branding 16 so that the self-adhesive magnetic sheet 12 comes in direct contact with the panel P.

The ceramic plates 10 are attached to the panel P with self-adhesive magnetic sheet 12. The dimensions of the self-adhesive magnetic sheet 12 are calculated according to the characteristics of the ceramic plates 10. The two major factors influencing the self-adhesive magnetic sheet 12 in relation to the ceramic plates 10 are the weight and the dimensions of the ceramic plates 10 as well as the pattern on the back of these ceramic plates 10. depending on the back of the ceramic plate 10, a suitable self-adhesive solution will be used for the element 12. Thus, if the back of the ceramic plate 10 has irregularities and a pattern with a high pattern , then a self-adhesive foam self-adhesive foil will be applied to the back of the self-adhesive magnetic sheet 12. If the inner face of the ceramic plate 10 is smoother, a self-adhesive foil will be applied without foam. This is an important problem because, if the pattern relief on the back of the ceramic plate 10 is high, the self-adhesive magnetic sheet 12 will copy the model and, in this way, the force of the respective element 12 will decrease by contact with the panel P only where the relief it is high but will not touch the panel where the relief is down. It is known that, between panel P and the self-adhesive magnetic sheet 12, the field of attraction has maximum effect only when the elements are in direct contact. The attraction is lost when the respective element 12 is even separated by only a few millimeters from the panel P. Taking into account this rule and the fact that the respective element 12 must support the weight of the element 10, it is important that the element 12 is at the same level in - a plane parallel to panel P. As mentioned above, said element 12 is also influenced by the weight of element 10. Element 12 is characterized by thickness and isotropy. On a lighter ceramic plate, the self-adhesive magnetic sheet 12 may be isotropic, and on heavier ceramic plates 10, the respective element 12 will be 11 anisotropic. The thickness of the respective element 12 varies from 0.5 mm to 2 mm. a

0, - ϊ ο 1 6 - - 0 0 1 9 2 1 7 -03- 281 «preferred embodiment, the element called 12 is isotropic and has a thickness of 0.75-1 mm. The dimensioning of the respective element 12 as well as the choice of an isotropic or anisotropic material will be made according to the surface of the element 10 and its weight. It is possible to reduce the thickness of the element 12 and obviously its magnetic attraction by increasing the frictional force, and this can be achieved by increasing the surface area. There is a direct relation between the mass and the dimensions of the ceramic plates 10 and the isotropy of the thickness and the magnetic force of the self-adhesive magnetic sheet 12. Therefore, the only dimension and correct assembly of the respective element 12 can be obtained only if the ceramic plate 10 is known.

After being placed on panel P for a long time, the ceramic plate 10 taken from the panel by using said element 12, is difficult to detach because the magnetic field increases proportionally with the contact time. Therefore, disassembly tool 13 is intended for the safe removal of ceramic plates 10. Element 13 is important because it is mandatory that the described system be safe when updating a collection. Ceramic plates are heavy items, and removing them from the respective panel P, taking into account the difficult position of the body during this operation and catching the plates insufficiently by hand, can lead to accidents. The disassembly tool 13 is a metal tool, designed and built for this purpose; the tool is characterized by the fact that the top is u-shaped and can support a ceramic plate. The wings of the "u" profile are thin and one of the fins can easily reach below the element 10, and detach it with a short upward movement, as illustrated in FIG. 8I. Also, this tool is provided with a handle that facilitates handling. From the point of view of the removal procedure, the tool is used with one hand while, with the other hand, the ceramic plate 10 is held on the opposite corner.

It is not enough just to magnetically attach the plates to a panel. The spacing and alignment of the plates must be observed to obtain a good looking display panel. This is why a practical, cost effective and intuitive template is needed.

The intuitive modular template 14 is characterized by the fact that it is magnetic and made of a thin wood-based panel with magnetic foil attached to it. The thickness of the intuitive modular template 14 varies between 2 mm and 20 mm. In a preferred embodiment, the intuitive modular template 14 does not exceed the thickness of 6 mm to 12 mm. The intuitive modular template 14 is also cut in accordance with the desired configuration for the panel and can be produced in any form necessary to perform its primary function - the correct placement and spacing of the respective ceramic plates 10 on the surface of the panel P. Making the element 14 is simple - the piece wood-based panel and magnetic foil are glued together and then cut with laser or CNC (with numerically controlled machine) to the desired shape. Each part of the intuitive modular template 14 is inscribed with a position code that will also appear in the instruction book included in the upgrade kit. When updating, it is sufficient to position each part of said element 14 on panel P according to the instructions in the upgrade kit.

FIG. 9 describes the production process for panel P. The raw material is the sheet of metal that is delivered pre-painted, as shown above, and at the desired width. The thin metal sheet 4 is suspended on a feed device which rolls the metal sheet. Line speed is an interpolation between the sheet metal roller speed and the adhesive hardening speed - element 3. In a preferred situation, the line speed is between 3 to 9 m / minute. The higher the adhesive curing speed and the rolling speed, the higher the production. The adhesive is stretched with an oscillating device, the dosing element 24 and the amount of adhesive poured. In a preferred situation, the adhesive consumption should not exceed more than 100 150 grams / m ² . The base panels 2 are loaded manually or automatically. The automated loading solution refers to a lift that loads the base panels 2 and a push bar that advances the element on the roller table, element 20. As we have shown above, the panels are centered and aligned on the left and on the right with the guide rollers, the element 22, and are further pushed on the line by the feed rollers, the element 21. Also, the metal sheet is centered with a set of guide rollers, the element 23. In this point there is also a first pressing. Throughout the operation there is $ - 2 0 1 6 - 0 0 1 9 2 - U

1 -03- 2fl6 a synchronization between the feed rollers of the base panel 2, the element 21, the feed device of the metallic sheet and the tensioning device of the glue, the element 24. finally the pressing is executed with the set of press rolls 25. Pressing it is cold, with no heating required. Also, the panels are cut to length, since cutting to width is not necessary because the sheet metal is cut to size and pre-painted, and the base plate in the raw state also comes with the width cut to size. The element 26 that performs the length cut is synchronized with the feed device of the panel so as to cut only the oversize of the base panel 2. So, if the final length of the respective panel P will be for example 2000 mm, then the respective panel base 2 will have a length of 2010 mm from which the element 26 will cut 5 mm at the entrance and 5 mm at the exit, dimensioning the panel after the metal sheet applied at 2000 mm. After sizing, it is possible to add a device for attaching the protective foil to the surface of panel P, because, normally, the panel no longer supports other interventions and can be delivered as is. The protective foil can be applied even if panel P requires other operations such as edge coating. As mentioned earlier in the detailed description chapter of the drawings, applying a thin sheet of metal to the other side is possible by starting the other side of the line (bottom).
