Definitions

  • the present invention relates to light and strong multilayered materials that may be used for example for shelving, casing, interior design, exhibitions, and displays and as furniture.
  • Structures used for display and exhibitions are commonly made of panels made of MDF, plastic extruded material, or aluminum in combination with a solid foam, and paper/cardboard type sandwich structures with solid and un-elastic foam inside .
  • the MDF elements are heavy and the top and bottom surface and surrounding edges require extensive finishing covering or painting the MDF basic material that is unsightly, and the elements are cumbersome to use. Moreover, the MDF is fragile and is destroyed by moisture.
  • the aluminum/foam elements are lighter than the MDF ones, but are harder to cut and work with, can get dented, and as metal aluminum sheets for the top and bottom, they have limited usefulness, for example they don't have plastic transparent material on the surface to present embedded products therein.
  • Sandwiched structures such as a honeycomb or corrugated layer in between two layers of stiff material are typically relatively light and strong; see for example:
  • materials in usage like PVC panels which may not need extensive finishing on the edges, are however structures made from one material through-out, without combination of at least 2 types of stretchable and un- stretchable materials together; the absence of a composite structure entails making the product heavy in order to give it the sufficient strength.

  • the panel is capable of regaining its original volume after the pressing in the compression range stated above.

  • the glue is preferably contact glue.
  • the pressing of the top layer and the bottom layer toward each other is to a 1 -40% distance, more preferably 5-25% distance, of the top layer form the bottom layer compared to said distance before the pressing.

  • foamed polymer selected will depend upon the desired type of structure, for example its shape, intended use etc.
  • the optimal type of glue for best adherence between the top and bottom layers and the middle layer may vary according to the specific material selected, both the middle layer and the top and bottom layers, as well as the intended use of the panel, for example whether the panel will be subjected to extreme temperatures or submerged in certain liquids for extended periods of time, etc.
  • the edges of the sandwich structure are typically relatively smooth and consistently dense; Screws 40a, 40b can be easily and directly screwed to the panel with no difficulty and no need for preliminary drilling, as shown in the embodiments 100a, 100b respectively in Figs. 1 a and 1 b.

  • the panel may be made somewhat flexible when the middle layer is sufficiently thin, but experiments have shown the panel to weaken when the overall thickness of the panel is less than 8mm.
  • the apparatus is designed to be solid and unbendable, to have enough thickness to enter a standard screw through without penetrating from the other end of the surface (which is a limitation in aluminum foam panels, that are too heavy at such thicknesses), to be easily processed in CNC machining and to be easily attached to another element.

  • the light foamed structure 400 may be easily cut in various curved shapes, without requiring finishing following the cutting.
  • structures composed of honeycomb sandwiches typically have very unsightly edges when cut in the same shapes, which makes it impractical to form them in such shapes.
  • FIGS 5a, 5b illustrating connection 500 between the edges of light foamed structures in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • Edges 514', 514" may be profiled in several shapes. The profiling is easily achieved by cutting and shaping foamed material that is flexible. Changing the shape of top and bottom surfaces 512' and 512" is relatively difficult, and is not needed due to the option of shaping the sandwiched foamed material. Therefore, profiling is done with no need for heavy machinery or for expensive process.

  • a stiff layer 612' may then be stuck to the foam layer 610, preferably with a glue that essentially fuses foam layer 610 to layer 612'.
  • Figure 7a shows a section of structure 700a, which is similar to in layer construction to structures 100-500, namely a foam layer adhered in between two inflexible layers.
  • Figure 7b shows a light foamed structure 700b, composed of a foamed layer 610 sandwiched between two layers 612', 612" of un-stretchable material, and further composed of a stretchable Iayer616' adhered to and covering an un-stretchable layers.
  • Figure 7c shows a light foamed structure 700c, composed of a foamed layer 610 sandwiched between two layers 612', 612" of un-stretchable material, and further composed of stretchable layers 616' and 616" adhered to and covering un-stretchable layers 612', 612".
  • Layers 616' and 616" may be identical or different from foam layer 610.
  • Layer 616' and 616" may be identical or different from foam layer 610, and their material and thickness are selected and optimized to suit to the desired purpose of the structure 700b. They may be for example light and flexible polymeric foam, wood, or rubber.
  • Figure 8a illustrates a light foamed structure 800a such as shown in Figure 7a, in which the sizes of the un-stretchable layers 812', 812" are different from each other. Multiple structures such as this may be easily connected, similar to Figure 5.
  • the structures 800a are connected by a base layer 816', which may be more flexible than layer 816'.
  • Figure 8b and Figure 8c illustrate structures similar to the one shown in Figure 8a, in folded rectangular 800b and triangular 800c forms respectively. Such forms may serve for example for easily sselling exhibits from multiple directions.
  • Figure 9a shows a structure similar to the one shown in Figure 8a, folded and adapted into a briefcase 900; the suitcase is easily prepared from a planar structure in which the base layer is flexible, by folding it and attaching to the structure buckled straps at appropriate locations (not shown), and/or the edges may be reinforced and/or connected with hard fittings such as aluminum profiles 950, as is also shown in enlarged view in Fig. 9b.
  • Figure 10 illustrates a 3-D character 1000 for display, composed of a light foamed structure. Such characters are much easier to prepare than 3-D display characters prepared essentially from aluminum.
  • Figure 1 shows insertion of an object such as an aluminum pipe 60 into a panel 1 100.
  • the pipe 60 may be hollow and accommodate electrical wires etc.
  • Figure 12 shows the resilience of a panel 1200 hit with a hammer 70.
  • the edge 1 1 14 is not appreciably affected by the blow and the panel 1200 is not vulnerable to being hit.
  • Figure 13 shows furniture 2000 made with panels 1300a-c.
  • Figure 14 shows a structure 1400 including shelf panels 1402c-f held by supporting panels 1402a-b.
  • the structures may include an additional layer which is magnetized; a magnetized layer may for example be situated between the foamed polymeric material and the unstrechable material.
  • the structures can be connected to form superstructures with or without corners, for example store rooms, three- dimensional displays etc.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une nouvelle structure en mousse allégée. La structure comprend une couche supérieure, une couche intermédiaire, une couche inférieure et de la colle, la couche intermédiaire comprenant un matériau sensiblement élastique et les couches supérieure et inférieure comprenant un matériau sensiblement non extensible. La colle crée une forte adhérence entre les couches supérieure et inférieure et la couche intermédiaire, la force de l'adhérence résultant d'au moins la compression de la couche supérieure et de la couche inférieure l'une vers l'autre jusqu'à ce que la distance entre la couche supérieure et la couche inférieure soit d'environ 1 à 40 % par rapport à la distance avant la compression. Après la compression, la distance reprend la valeur qu'elle présentait avant la compression.
