Description
- The present application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/018,316, filed Aug. 5, 2003. Priority of application Ser. Nos. 10/018,316 filed on Aug. 5, 2003 is/are claimed under 35 U.S.C. § 120/119(e).
- The present invention relates to a shape-conforming surface covering useful for covering a floor surface, a wall surface, a boat or yacht deck, floor boards in boats and yachts, bath and shower room floors and walls coverings, swimming pool surroundings, curved floor plans inside and outside buildings, claddings and coverings of many other types of surface recipients, including decoration. The surface covering according to the invention is formed by strips of an flexible material and is adapted for being laid in slightly curved formation where necessary, and it is generally intended to imitate a type of deck made by teak, mahogany, Oregon pine etc. and which is sometimes formed with narrow seams by a rubber type material, which is normally of a contrasting colour, often black.
- There are in use many surface coverings, many of which are made of straight planks with a version of the present invention easily being usable. Some applications, however, require conformity to curved shapes of the covering base. A typical example is teak planked deck of a yacht. Such surfaces have to be of a good, non slip character, and have to be at least fairly unaffected by water and have to look attractive. Wood, such as teak has been used for many years, but such wooden material is in many ways impractical and of relatively short lifespan. Curved wooden surfaces necessitate considerable stressing, preparation like adapting of the wooden ribs to any curved surface, fixing by screws, use of sealing compound and regular maintenance, especially scrubbing, oiling and varnishing and the use of pollution-causing cleaning chemicals on a regular basis and in large amounts. When used on boats, in particular, these chemicals may drain into the surrounding water. Curved wooden ribs or planks also involve an inherent spring stress requiring a strong fixation, generally using screws or bolts. Further, the new look of a teak deck is lost within weeks, and the whole deck requires major work or replacement in four to six years on average.
- Ecologically this invention does not require the cutting down of trees and is recyclable. The invention can take the place of tropical hardwoods used throughout the world in many applications.
- The present invention is adapted to suggest a shape-conforming surface covering comprising lengths of ribs of mostly the same cross section, but with differing cross sections included within the surface or at its edges or ends as required, of specifically shaped plastic material, which plastic ribs are of such flexibility that then can be made to follow at least slightly curved surfaces, tight curves being attainable with the use of heat. The lengths of ribs are adapted to be connected edge to edge in various combinations to form collectively the required size and shape of the surface to be covered. A variation of the invention can be produced with the same material and finish in other cross sections to used for the edges of steps for example, or other functional or decorative applications. Normally a jointing compound must be used on wooden decks, but according to the invention the individual planks and/or caulking strips are malleable, becoming more and more malleable at increasing temperatures. According to the present invention the need for these “later applied” compound along the joints is no longer necessary. The new shapes or curves taken up by the planks or caulking strips become a relatively stress free feature of these planks or caulking strips unless re-adjustment is necessary, whereby re-adjustment can be made by applying heat to the strips, for instance using a hot air gun, hot water, radiant heat etc.
- The planks and strips preferably are formed by extrusion of a plastic material and with matching locking means along the longitudinal edges thereof, preferably groove and tenon means. The planks likewise can be formed with narrow strips of a different colour imitating seams of the type used in applying wooden deck on a yacht. The colours of the described planks and strips can easily be changed in the manufacturing extrusion process.
- The surface covering as assembled, complete or in sections, is fixed to the recipient surface by means of an adhesive, and to this end the planks and strips preferably are formed with a suitable bottom surface facilitating the fixing of the covering. There is no need for using screws or bolts and associated holes because captive springing is not a problem as is normally the case with wooden planking made to conform with a curvature.
- The surface covering according to the invention can be subjected various mechanical an manual abrasive techniques for specifically forming the surface of the plastic material such as sanding under specific conditions to provide a surface effect which is extremely similar to that of grained wood both in texture and appearance.
- The surface covering according to the invention is advantageous in several respects over ordinary wooden coverings of similar types:
-
- it is completely waterproof; it is easily washable to look new every time, even jet washable what is not possible for ordinary wooden coverings since jet washing is damaging to the wood grain; it is extremely non slip, it is extremely stain resistant; it is easy to assemble; it can easily be laid in curvature; it can easily be shaped using heat; there is no need for using nails, screws or bolts for fixing same to the recipient; it is throughout a solid or an integral material which can be sanded repeatedly upon need.
- Now the invention is to be described in detail by way of examples and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of two plank sections with an intermediate caulking strip; -
FIG. 2 shows a similar assembled surface with caulking strips in place between the planks; -
FIG. 3 is a section showing a planking assuming a curved shape; -
FIG. 4 shows an assembled surface in a curved format; -
FIGS. 5 a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, and j show cross section examples of caulking strips incorporated between plank sections, -
FIG. 5 k (1, 2, 3, 4) shows examples of profiles to complete requirement for edgings, cutting out of shapes etc. to comprises a ‘system’ or compendium of shapes and profiles; -
FIG. 6 illustrates various examples of under-surface cross sections; -
FIG. 7 illustrates a belt sanding operation; -
FIG. 8 illustrates an alternative texturing technique; -
FIG. 9 shows an alternative abrasive tool 14 a that can be used to produce the wood grain effect surface; -
FIG. 10 illustrates an assembled curved section of a surface in plan view; and -
FIG. 11 illustrates a way of laying the surface. -
FIG. 1 shows a surfacecovering comprising planks intermediate caulking strip 3 between each pair of planks. In the illustrated case theplanks planks intermediate caulking strips 3 provide an integral unit. Adhesive may be used in the joint if necessary. Any number ofplanks intermediate caulking strips 3. The underside of the plank can be formed with a number ofrecesses 6, which both facilitate a curving of the plank, as illustrated inFIG. 3 , and form a connection means for glue or a similar material by means of which the surface covering is glue connected tosurface covering recipient 7, as illustrated 11. - In a version of the invention a sheet would be extruded without the caulking strips with the caulking strips co-extruded integral, or with facility to incorporate applied caulking strips.
- Both the planks and the caulking strips can be made with different colours, imitating wood like teak, mahogany, pine, Oregon pine, redwood, etc. For example, the planks may have a colour and lustre imitating the colour and grain structure of a wooden material. The caulking strips preferably are made of another colour than the planks, for instance a black colour imitating the rubber material seams in seamed decks of yachts. It also retains its colour far better than the natural wood which it resembles. Moreover, the planks may be made of a plastic or resin material, such as PVC for example, that may include additives for providing UV protection, fire retardants, and natural or synthetic fibres. The planks may be formed with streaks of lines of colour included in the extrusion to further imitate the grain in wood. The planks may be used as a floor surface, a wall surface a boat or yacht deck, floor board in boats and yachts, bath and shower room floors and walls covering, swimming pool surroundings, curved floor planks inside and outside buildings, claddings and covering of many other types of surfaces. The planks may also be partly filled with a rigid material.

The male and female connection means are provided in the plank parts, and a caulking strip is applied as a narrow strip on top of a part of the male connection means.FIG. 5 j shows an embodiment where a section of the plank or of the profiles used in particular applications is filled with foam of a light weight material. Other examples of profiles with or without foam filling to requirements for edgings, cutting out of shapes etc. to comprises a system or compendium or shapes and profiles are shown inFIG. 5 k (1, 2, 3, 4). - In any of the examples the caulking strip could be a softer material than that of the plank to come under compression, captive or otherwise when the product is assembled
-
FIG. 6 shows a cross section of an extruded plank, in which there are shown, for illustrative purposes, several types of bottom surface recesses - For giving the planks, and the caulking strips a configuration similar to that of wood, the planks are, according to the invention, sanded, for instance using a
belt sander 14 as shown inFIG. 7 . The belt sander is brought to attack the plank, specifically using the curved or roller part of the sanding belt, in an angle of for instance 45° and is moved along the plank in direction shown with the arrow. A rotary wire brush can also be used in specific conditions to produce a desired effect, in required. At the same time as giving the planks a wooden like surface structure said sanding makes the upper surface of the surface covering an extremely non-slip structure. The sanding operation can be repeated a great many times, even in the laid surface covering. -
