- the present invention relates generally to the field of manufactured stone veneer and more particularly to an improved method of packaging manufactured stone veneer.
- Manufactured stone veneer such as sold by Owens Coming under the Cultured Stone® trademark is a popular choice for architects, builders and homeowners seeking to add style and presence to a structure. A significant amount of water is present in manufactured stone veneer during the manufacturing process. After packaging, water is slowly evolved from the stone.
- the face of the manufactured stone veneer is protected from scratching and scuffing by providing a separator sheet.
- this sheet must not trap water evolved from the stone. This is because that water contains salts which produce water spotting, mottling and efflorescence. These lead to color inconsistency and customer dissatisfaction.
- the present invention relates to a method of packaging manufactured stone veneer so as to more efficiently and effectively reduce water spotting, efflorescence and mottling while also protecting the stone from scratching and scuffing.
- a method of packaging manufactured or synthetic stones comprises the steps of placing two layers of manufactured stones in a vented container and separating the two layers of manufactured stones with a separator sheet preferably made from a spun-bond, non-woven fabric having a moisture transmission rate of at least 100 grams/100 sq in/24 hours as measured by ASTM E-96.
- a preferred method further includes using polypropylene material for the fabric with a weight per unit area of between about 2.1 and about 0.5 ounces/yd 2 and more typically about 0.75 ounces/yd 2 .
- the method includes using a polyester material for the fabric.
- the method includes using a fabric with a tensile MD of at least 58 N as per Edana ERT 20.2-89. Still further, the method may include providing a series of apertures in the separator sheet. Those apertures may have a diameter of about 0.25 inches. Still further, the method may include providing a double layer separator sheet. That double layer separator sheet may be provided with at least one side seam so as to form a pouch for carrying the manufactured stones.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to the field of manufactured stone veneer and more particularly to an improved method of packaging manufactured stone veneer.
- Manufactured stone veneer such as sold by Owens Coming under the Cultured Stone® trademark is a popular choice for architects, builders and homeowners seeking to add style and presence to a structure. A significant amount of water is present in manufactured stone veneer during the manufacturing process. After packaging, water is slowly evolved from the stone.
- The face of the manufactured stone veneer is protected from scratching and scuffing by providing a separator sheet. Significantly, the inventor has discovered that this sheet must not trap water evolved from the stone. This is because that water contains salts which produce water spotting, mottling and efflorescence. These lead to color inconsistency and customer dissatisfaction.
- The present invention relates to a method of packaging manufactured stone veneer so as to more efficiently and effectively reduce water spotting, efflorescence and mottling while also protecting the stone from scratching and scuffing.
- In accordance with the purposes of the present invention as described herein, a method of packaging manufactured or synthetic stones is provided. That method comprises the steps of placing two layers of manufactured stones in a vented container and separating the two layers of manufactured stones with a separator sheet preferably made from a spun-bond, non-woven fabric having a moisture transmission rate of at least 100 grams/100 sq in/24 hours as measured by ASTM E-96. A preferred method further includes using polypropylene material for the fabric with a weight per unit area of between about 2.1 and about 0.5 ounces/yd2 and more typically about 0.75 ounces/yd2. In an alternative embodiment the method includes using a polyester material for the fabric.
- Further the method includes using a fabric with a tensile MD of at least 58 N as per Edana ERT 20.2-89. Still further, the method may include providing a series of apertures in the separator sheet. Those apertures may have a diameter of about 0.25 inches. Still further, the method may include providing a double layer separator sheet. That double layer separator sheet may be provided with at least one side seam so as to form a pouch for carrying the manufactured stones.
- In the following description there is shown and described several different embodiments of the invention, simply by way of illustration of some of the modes best suited to carry out the invention. As it will be realized, the invention is capable of other different embodiments and its several details are capable of modification in various, obvious aspects all without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the drawings and descriptions will be regarded as illustrative in nature and not as restrictive.
- The accompanying drawings incorporated in and forming a part of this specification, illustrate several aspects of the present invention, and together with the description serve to explain certain principles of the invention. In the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a separator sheet as used in the method of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a partially schematical side elevational view illustrating the stacking of the manufactured stone and the use of separator sheets to protect the faces of those stones; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the separator sheet; and -
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view showing how the separator sheet embodiment ofFIG. 3 is utilized to carry manufactured stones. - Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
- Reference is now made to
FIG. 1 illustrating a first possible embodiment of theseparator sheet 10 utilized in the method of the present invention for the packaging of manufactured stones. A preferredseparator sheet 10 is made from a spun-bond, non-wovenfabric 12 having a moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of at least 100 grams/100 sq in/24 hours as measured by the “cup method” set out in ASTM E-96. Thefabric 12 may be made from an appropriate material providing the desired moisture vapor transmission rate including but not limited to polypropylene, polyester and mixtures or combinations thereof. A particularlyuseful fabric 12 comprises polypropylene material with a weight per unit area of between 2.1 and about 0.5 ounces/yd2 and more typically about 0.75 ounces/yd2. The fabric typically has a thickness of between about 5 and about 40 mils. The fibers utilized in the fabric have a denier of about 2.0. Further, thefabric 12 typically provides tensile MD of at least 58 N as per Edana ERT 20.2-89. Typically the fabric used is patternless: that is, has only random surface features. This prevents any possibility of imprinting or transferring a pattern to the face of the stone. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 theseparator sheet 10 may optionally include a series ofapertures 14 having a diameter of about 0.25 inches. Theapertures 14 may be randomly spaced as illustrated inFIG. 1 or alternatively, spaced in any desired pattern. - In an alternative embodiment, the
separator sheet 10 may comprise a construction other than the nonwoven sheet described above, provided such a sheet has the strength, non-scuffing and vapor transmission characteristics described herein. Such as sheet may optionally includeapertures 14, and may comprise a film, a woven sheet, a nonwoven sheet, such as a fiberglass sheet made from a wet laid, dry laid or continuous filament process. Likewise, such a sheet may comprise natural or man-maid fibers formed using physical entanglement, nonwoven needling, thermoset binders or thermoplastic fiber melt matrix technologies. Such mats may be carded, air-laid, needlepunched, thermobonded, or formed by other processes known to one skilled in the art. - A further alternative embodiment for the
separator sheet 10 is illustrated inFIGS. 3 and 4 . In this alternative embodiment theseparator sheet 10 comprises twoseparate fabric layers fabric layers fabric layer 12 of the first embodiment. Thefabric layers sheet 10 illustrated inFIG. 3 is typically between about 2.1 and about 0.5 ounces/yd2 and most typically about 0.75 ounces/yd2. As illustrated inFIGS. 3 and 4 , thesheet 10 is doubled over to form aseamless bottom wall 20.Side seams bottom wall 20 andside seams pouch 26 that may be used to hold and carry manufactured stones S as illustrated inFIG. 4 . Theopen top 28 allows one to add or remove stones S from thepouch 26 as desired. - A
package 30 of manufactured stones S is illustrated inFIG. 2 . As illustrated thepackage 30 includes apallet 32 made of wood or other appropriate material.Side walls 34 of corrugated cardboard or other appropriate material are secured to the top of thepallet 32 bystaples 36 or other appropriate means.Air vent apertures 38 are provided in theside walls 34 at spaced locations to allow for the escape of moisture.Corner posts 40 of wood or other appropriate material may be provided to reinforce theside walls 34. Alternatively, the package may compromise a pallet with shrink wrap or other film, reusable plastic containers, or any other known construction, provided the overall package has adequate ventilation to expel the water. - In a preferred embodiment, a first layer of manufactured stones S1 is stacked face up on a cardboard floor insert 42 overlying the
pallet 32. Aseparator sheet 10 as illustrated inFIGS. 1 or 3 is then provided overlying the face of the first layer of stones S1. A second layer of stones S2 is then positioned face down on theseparator sheet 10. - Next, a third layer of stones S3 is positioned face up directly on the second layer of stones S2. This is followed by placing a second separator sheet S2 over the exposed face of the third layer of stones S3. Then a fourth layer of stones S4 is positioned face down on the
second separator sheet 10 overlying the third layer of stones S3. This stacking procedure is followed until thepackage 30 is full of stones. A vented, corrugated cardboard top (not shown) may then be provided on thepackage 30. Alternatively, thepackage 30 may be shipped without a top if desired. - The
separator sheets 10 of the present invention provide a number of benefits. By placing theseparator sheets 10 between the faces of the stone layers S1, S2 and S3, S4 the faces are protected from scratches, scuffing and marring. Specifically, the fabric has sufficient tensile strength to resist tearing and abrasion so as to substantially prevent direct face-to-face contact between the stones of the layers S1, S2 and S3, S4. - In addition, the relatively high moisture vapor transmission rate of the
sheets 10 ensures that any moisture evolved from the stones in the layers S1-S4 after packaging is quickly transmitted away from the stones so that it may exit from thepackage 30 through thevents 38 and/or the open top. Advantageously, this reduces or substantially eliminates water spotting, efflorescence and differential wetting which would otherwise contribute to a mottled appearance. As a result the stones have a more consistent color and customer appeal is enhanced. - It should be appreciated that the
optional apertures 14 are beneficial in that they allow any rain or liquid water entering thepackage 30 to drain rapidly from theseparator sheets 10 and the stones thereby protecting the appearance of the stones. - The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Obvious modifications or variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described to provide the best illustration of the principles of the invention and its practical application to thereby enable one of ordinary skill in the art to utilize the invention in various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. All such modifications and variations are within the scope of the invention as determined by the appended claims when interpreted in accordance with the breadth to which they are fairly, legally and equitably entitled. The drawings and preferred embodiments do not and are not intended to limit the ordinary meaning of the claims and their fair and broad interpretation in any way.
