Description

A PANEL
Field of Invention This present invention relates to a panel. In more particular, the present invention relates to a panel which can be used as a construction material for buildings or external packaging products.
Background of The Invention
, Panels are available in a variety of finishes and textures. Basically, the panels can be composed of wood such as wood veneer, plywood, particle board, medium density fiberboard, hardboard and others. Besides, it is also possible to use paper-based material such as cardboard or corrugated sheet board to construct part of the panel and thus this can reduce its weight, cost of production and offer as an environmental friendly product. As often, the paper-based material can replace wood for the core of a panel. There are some prior arts relating to several panels which are made from different materials.
A United Kingdom Patent No. 603435 describes a building structure including a plurality of multi-layer building panels each consisting of a two outer sheets a d an intervening heat-insulating layer comprising a plurality of parallel strips of corrugated paper board with the strips at right angles to the outer sheets, In the prior art, the outer sheets are hard-pressed fibre board united to the intervening heat-insulating layer by an adhesive. A France Patent No. 2702415 claims a panel comprising two laminated sheets stiffened by means of a central support, characterized in that, the central support is formed by at least one layer of finely corrugated board. The corrugated board is very high in rigidity but low in weight A laminated material comprising two layers of solid wood material with a layer of corrugated boards there between is claimed in another United Kingdom Patent No. 2390974. The prior art provides an item of furniture and a kit of parts for forming an item of furniture comprising panels formed from the laminated material. Commonly, the panels which include a paper-based material will have corrugated cardboards with its flute direction arranged parallel to the plane of surface cover boards. Also in the conventional panel, the corrugated cardboards can be replaced by cardboards with honeycomb pattern or arrangement. For acquiring higher strength of the panel, the corrugated cardboards shall be placed with its flute direction to be extended perpendicularly to the plane of surface cover boards. Moreover, using tubular cores preferably made of paper-based for constructing the panel will also provide strength to the panel. It is desirable to invent a panel which is light-weight but able to provide good strength to be used as a material for constructing buildings and making packaging products such as cargo pallet, container and others.
Summary of The Invention
The primary object of the present invention is to invent a panel which has parts composed of a paper-based material for reducing weight, production cost and providing as an environmental friendly product. Another object of the present invention is to invent a panel which contains parts made of a paper-based material which can provide good strength suitable to be used as a construction material for buildings or external packaging products.
At least one of the preceding objects is met, in whole or in part, by the present invention, in which the embodiment of the present invention a panel (100) comprising at least one cover layer (101) and a strengthening layer comprising a plurality of tubular cores (102) attached to a surface of the cover layer (101).
In the present invention, the preferred panel is formed by a core of paper-based material connected to a surface composed of wood-based, metal-based, plastic-based or a composite material. The core of paper-based material can consist of only tubular cores or blocks of corrugated cardboards sandwiched between linerboards or a combination of the tubular cores and blocks. The surface of wood-based, metal-based, plastic-based or a composite material attached on the core paper-based material will serve as outer covers of the preferred panel.

A preferred panel (100) consists the cover layers (101) presented in the forms of board and strip (104) is shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. The cover layer (101) to be formed as a strip (104) is preferably a particle board or solid wood connected via several joining techniques such as finger joint, lap joint, butt joint, bridle joint and others. In the present invention, the cover layer (101) presented as a strip (104) may be connected to another strip (104) of cover layer (101) to form a frame surrounding a core of strengthening layer comprising only a plurality of tubular cores (102) as in FIG. 3, a plurality of blocks (103) being separated by one or a plurality of tubular cores (102) as in FIG. 4 or only a plurality of blocks (103) as in FIG. 5. ' . ' Hence, the frame will enable the panel (100) to be screwed, nailed or attached with accessories such as hinge, lock, handle, door closer and other furniture's fixtures.
In the present invention, the panel (100) has an edge portion formed by channel sections (105) and/or flat sections (106) made of metal, resin, wood or a composite material. Referring to a preferred embodiment as shown in FIG. 6, the panel (100) contains edge portions formed by channel sections (105) which are preferably made of aluminum, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, veneer, stainless steel, wood, acrylic or composite resin. However, FIG. 7 illustrates the panel (100) has an edge portion formed by flat sections (106) which can be made of the similar materials.

film, paint, epoxy resin or others.
The panel (100) can be used for construction of commercial buildings, residential buildings and making external packaging products such as interior decorative door (110), table, partition, sliding wardrobe, container (109), cargo pallet (111) and etcetera. Thus, the size of the panel (100) can be varied to suit for different applications. For taking an example, the paper pallet (111) constructed from the panel (100) has a length ranging from 600mm to 2440mm, width ranging from 400mm to 2440mm and total height ranging from 50mm to 200mm. A pallet as shown in FIG. 12 can have its platform or any one of the legs or both to be constructed from the panel (100). The container (109) as indicated in FIG. 9 can also have any of its assembling parts of the surrounding enclosure or legs to be constructed from the panel (100).
In another example, the door (110) constructed from the panel (100) will be in larger size than the paper pallet In the present invention, the door (110) shall have a length ranging from 200mm to 3000mm, width ranging from 200mm to 3000mm and thickness ranging from 15mm to 200mm.
Furthermore, the present invention describes the door (110) constructed from the panel (100) comprising a strengthening layer consists only of a plurality of tubular cores (102) or only of a plurality of blocks (103) or a plurality of blocks (103) being separated by one or a plurality of tubular cores (102) to be sandwiched in between two cover layers (101) of medium-density fibreboard or particle board laminated by a melamine decorative layer. The door frame and lock-block of the door (110) is formed by preferably a particle board or solid wood connected via several joining techniques such as finger joint, lap joint, butt joint, bridle joint and others. A preferred assembly of the door (110) is shown in FIG. 11 in which the outer layers of the door are molded using material such as medium density fibreboard or high density fibreboard. In the present invention, the preferred panel (100) is formed by a core paper-based material connected to a surface wood-based material. It is important that the panel (100) shall be light-weight by using a paper-based material as the core whereas a surface composed of a variety of materials but preferably wood-based material is used for protecting the core-paper-based material.
As a comparison, the panel (100) as claimed in the present invention is examined to be about 57% lighter in average than a conventional panel made of wood alone. Besides reducing the weight, the core of paper-based material comprising the plurality of tubular cores (102) can also provide strength to the panel (100). In addition, the plurality of blocks (103) is arranged in such a way that the flute direction of the corrugated cardboard layers (106) extends perpendicularly to the plane of surface of the cover layer (101) in order to increase the rigidity of the panel (100).
Other advantages of the panel (100) are heat resistance, sound resistance, weather and moisture resistance, scratch proof, affordable in price, low possibility on discoloration, warping resistance and others.
