Definitions

• the present patent concerns composite panels made from metal plate, and more specifically it concerns a new improved composite panel made from metal plate and more preferably from aluminium.
• Aluminium panels which comprise two plane sheets made from plate that constitute the two opposite sides of the panel, and one intermediate corrugated plate sheet interposed and welded between them.
• Said panels are made starting from rectangular plate sheets that are welded or in any case joined together.
• the panels of this type can be used for several applications, for example they can be shaped and/or bent to make advertising or display supports, to construct exhibition stands, to make luminous signs etc.
• Said panels are also commonly used in the building construction sector, for example for the construction of formwork for ventilated facades, for renovating the facades of buildings, and for building construction applications in general.
• said panels are usually made in a rectangular shape, that is, with rectilinear edges parallel to one another in pairs.
• the corrugated sheet interposed between the external sheets is always arranged in such a way that the ridges and the depressions are parallel to one of said sides of the panel.
• the panel is weakened also along lines that are parallel to said ridges and depressions of the corrugated sheet and therefore can be subject to undesired deformation and bending during storage, transport or processing operations.
• the patent document US 4672780 concerns a composite panel comprising, in one of its embodiments, two external reinforcing sheets among which there is a corrugated panel comprising a series of sides alternating with a series of plane flanges.
• Said external reinforcing sheets are structured to prevent the deformation and/or bending of the panel along the flanges.
• Said panel is thus configured in such a way that it can be neither deformed, for example curved, nor bent.
• the document explains that said panel can be made with metal sheets, without however specifying the type of material in greater detail but suggesting the use of an extremely rigid material.
• the panel in fact, is suitable for making very large structures, as suggested in Figure 1 of the above-mentioned document.
• the subject of the present patent is a new improved composite panel, preferably made completely from aluminium, which solves the drawback described above thanks to the particular and innovative configuration and to the orientation of the ridges/depressions of the intermediate corrugated sheet.
• said ridges/depressions are oblique with respect to the edges of the panel, that is, they are neither parallel nor orthogonal to the edges of the panel. Thanks to this configuration, also the edges of the panel are stiffened even further, otherwise at the level of said edges there would be empty spaces between the two plane sheets that form the two opposite sides of the panel.
• An advantage of the new panel lies in that it is completely recyclable, being completely made from aluminium. Thanks to this characteristic, the new panel has also a residual value as waste.
• a further advantage lies in that even the initial product processing rejects are completely recyclable, said rejects being generated when the sheets are cut to obtain the finished product.
• the new panel being completely made from aluminium, is incombustible and therefore does not facilitate the propagation of fire.
• the new improved composite panel made from metal plate comprising two plane rectangular sheets made from metal plate, preferably aluminium, and at least one intermediate corrugated rectangular sheet made from metal plate, preferably aluminium, and wherein said intermediate sheet is configured with a plurality of alternating ridges and depressions which are substantially rectilinear in shape and all parallel to one another, and wherein said crests and depressions are oriented so that they are inclined with respect to the edges of the panel, that is, neither parallel nor orthogonal to the edges, at least in proximity to the edges themselves.
• said ridges/depressions of the intermediate sheet form an angle included between 30° and 60° with the edges of the panel, and more preferably they form an angle of 45°.
• Said panel can then normally be used for the most varied applications, for example it can be shaped and/or bent and/or coupled with one or more further panels to construct exhibition stands or advertising panels or for building construction applications in general.
• the panel in fact, can be bent along the folding lines of the intermediate sheet, that is, along said ridges/depressions, which is not the case with the currently known panels.
• Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional view of a composite panel (10) that is generically rectangular in shape and is obtained by coupling two external plane rectangular sheets (1, 2) and one intermediate corrugated rectangular sheet (3).
• the ridges (31) and the depressions (32) of said intermediate sheet (3) are indicated by a broken line and are rectilinear, parallel to one another and oblique with respect to the edges (11, 12, 13, 14) of said panel (10).
• said ridges (31) and depressions (32) form angles of 45°, in any case angles preferably included between 15° and 60° and more preferably included between 30° and 60°, with the edges (11, 12, 13, 14) of the panel (10).
• the panel (10), in particular, is cut in such a way that said ridges (31) and depressions (32) form angles included between 15° and 60° with all the edges (11, 12, 13, 14) of the panel (10) itself.
• Figure 2 shows a three-dimensional view of a sandwich panel (100) of the known type in which, on the contrary, the ridges (310) and the depressions (320) of the intermediate corrugated sheet (30) are oriented so that they are parallel to two edges (HO, 120) at the level of which empty spaces (330) are generated between the two plane sheets (10, 20), thus weakening the same edges.
