Definitions
- This invention relates to work surfaces and a method of producing such surfaces.
- the invention will be discussed primarily in relation to kitchen work tops for convenience but it is to be understood that the invention is much more broadly applicable to work surfaces in general for domestic or industrial use.
- the invention is applicable to work surfaces in bathrooms, cloakrooms and utility rooms.
- the surface material will be referred to as the "laminate" throughout the specification and claims, but it is to be understood that this material can be of any desired form and not necessarily a laminated material.
- EP-A-0,234,192 discloses an improvement over this previous process by way of adhering the laminate to the core material so that it at least partially overlaps the drip groove, and then filling the drip groove with the synthetic plastics material which then cures in contact with the underside of the laminate.
- a method of manufacturing a work surface having at least one postformed edge comprising the steps of :
- the laminate may be adhered to the postformed edge of the core prior to the dispensing step, the laminate then being adhered to the underside of the core and at least partially overlapping the core groove after the dispensing step.
- the curing step may be effected by subjecting the synthetic material to a stream of gas, preferably air, and preferably at ambient temperature or below.
- a method of manufacturing a work surface having at least one postformed edge comprising the steps of :
- the curing step may be effected as before by subjecting the synthetic material to a stream of gas, preferably air, and preferably at ambient temperature or below.
- the step of forming a groove on the underside of the core may be performed at the corner of the undersurface and postformed edge, or inset from that corner, depending on the precise nature of the postformed edge. For example, if the postformed edge has a curved corner both at the transition with the face of the work surface and the transition with the underside of the work surface (i.e. a 180° profile), then the groove will be set back from the front edge. However, if the postformed edge has only a curved corner at the transition with the face of the worksurface (i.e. a 90° profile) then the groove can be positioned at the corner between the postformed edge and the underside of the worksurface.
- the method is preferably carried out with the core underside uppermost.
- the method may comprise the further step of adhering a backing material on the underside of the core.
- the backing material may be a foil, for example a melamine-resin-impregnated kraft paper.
- the backing material may be a laminate.
- the laminate may be a melamine and/or phenolic resin based laminate.
- this second embodiment is manufactured essentially in the same way as the first embodiment described above using, for example, the same materials, but with certain differences to accommodate the 90° profile nature of this embodiment, as will be explained.
- the core 1 is formed with a 90° profile edge using a double-end tenoner machine as before ( Figure 11) and a foil laminator machine used to adhere a pre-impregnated paper foil 2 to the uppermost surface of the core 1 which, again, will form the underside of the finished product.
- the foil 2 overlaps the edge of the core 1 ( Figure 2).
- the laminate 3 is applied to the underside of the core 1 as in step 3 above (figure 13) and then the foil 2 is trimmed flush with the edge of the core 1 ( Figure 14) using a postformer.
- the postformer is again used to provide a groove 5 at the corner between the edge of the core 1 and its presently uppermost surface, as opposed to be inset from this corner as in the first embodiment ( Figure 15).
- the groove is triangular in end view, as opposed to U-shaped as in the first embodiment, because it must not break into the edge of the core 1.
- the groove is 8 mm wide and 4 mm deep at its maximum depth.
- the groove 5 in the core 1 is entirely open prior to the dispensing step so that it can be overfilled, to a small extent, with curable material in order to ensure contact between the material and the subsequently overlaid laminate 3. This provides an excellent bond between the two components which is essential if ingress of moisture is to be prevented, resulting in peeling of the laminate 3.
