Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flexible, board-like product and a method for manufacturing it.
- the building board industry manufactures a product in which an elastic material is sandwiched between two building boards.
- One type of board made in this way is a board laminated from two sheets of plywood and a heavy rubber mat, which is generally used as flooring in buses and railroad cars, due to its excellent vibration and sound attenuation.
- the purpose of this invention is to create a flexible board, which can be cheaply and easily manufactured, has excellent storage and acoustical improvement qualities, and is flexible.
- a board comprising the two plywood sheets and heavy rubber layer described above, is grooved symmetrically on both sides down to the elastic material, the groove and elastic material forming a flexible joint. It is also possible to groove a board, with a building board on only one surface, the other being the elastic material. The material with an elastic structure holds this construction together, the strips of building board between the grooves acting as stiffeners. The frequency and width of the grooves can be varied according to the application to obtain a suitable bending radius.
- Figure 1 shows an axonometric view of a section of flexible wall according to the invention
- FIG. 1 shows the same wall seen from directly above.
- the invention comprises a building board, an elastic material and grooves.
- the building board may be, for example, plywood, and the elastic material, for example, rubber, a woven fabric, or plastic.
- the building board is indicated by the numbers 1 and 3, the elastic material by number 2 and the grooves by number 4.
- the construction may comprise only a single surface of building board and a single layer of elastic material.
- the construction depicted above is created by attaching building boards 1 and 3 to either side of a sheet 2 of flexible material and then sawing grooves 4 in both boards 1 and 3, creating exposed grooves 4 down to sheet 2, though it is essential that material 2 itself is not sawn. Sawing can take place with any known type of saw, for example, a circular saw or a router.
- Elastic material 2 acts as a structure holding the invention together. If the board comprises at least two stiff layers 1 and 3 and a single layer of elastic material 2, the grooves are advantageously located symmetrically on each side of the board, so that there is only the layer of elastic material 2 between them.
- the flexibility and bending radius of the board can be altered by the width and frequency of the grooves.
- the board can also be grooved crosswise, so that it can bend as a spherical surface.
- One embodiment of the invention is a bendable screen, acting as an architectonic and acoustic space divider or acoustic element.
- the screen is made, for example, as described above, from two plywood building boards with a rubber mat attached between them, so that by suitably grooving the board, unrestricted flexibility can be achieved, while retaining the necessary structural stiffness for the screen to be free standing.
- this embodiment too, is not restricted to the manner of manufacture described above.
- a flexible product according to the invention can also be manufactured from other structural elements for various purposes in places where flexibility is beneficial. Naturally, the product can be secured to existing structures by hinges or other means.
- Another embodiment of the invention is a panel for improving acoustics.
- This can be suspended from a ceiling to create different radial cylindrical surfaces, with the strips of board acting as surfaces to break up sound waves, and the elastic material forming grooves between them and a sound attenuating surface.
- By sawing crosswise grooves a surface of grooves with building board surfaces in between can be created.
- the board can also be made into spherical surfaces.
- the strip-like pieces formed by sawing or otherwise need not have a constant width, a certain kind of bending being possible, even if the cuts 4 are not parallel.
