Abstract
An article with a simulated wood grain has a molded unitary body having a first face with a total area. The first face has a base surface and a plurality of ticking elements that are disposed on and extend upwardly from the base surface. The ticking elements extend generally along a ticking axis. Each ticking element has an upper ticking surface spaced above the base surface. The upper ticking surfaces of the ticking elements in aggregate form a minority of the total area of the first face of the molded unitary body. The ticking elements on the base surface cooperate to simulate the appearance of wood grain on the first face of the molded unitary body.
Description
- The present invention generally relates to articles with a texture or pattern formed on the surface thereof and, more specifically, to an article with a simulated wood grain provided thereon.
- Natural wood grain, as it occurs on natural wood, has a pattern formed by lighter and darker areas. In addition, the pattern also typically has raised areas and recessed areas. The recessed lines in such a pattern are referred to as tick bundles or ticking. The ticking is interposed with smooth areas, with the ticking generally running along a grain axis. The smooth areas form the majority of the visible area of the wood grain while the ticking forms the minority of the visible area of the wood grain. In addition, the smooth areas generally define the upper surface of the wood with the ticking being recessed with respect thereto.
- Artificial wood grain may consist of a visual pattern of printing that mimics the appearance of the combination of smooth areas and recessed ticking, but that is provided on a smooth surface. This approach may mimic the look of wood grain at a distance but does not provide a convincing appearance of wood grain at a closer distance, primarily because the surface lacks texture. More convincing simulated wood grain is provided by texturing the surface in a manner similar to real wood, by providing recessed areas that simulate the pattern of real ticking. This is typically used in combination with coloring the surface such that the recessed areas are darker than the surrounding areas, as is the case with real ticking.
- Both real wood, with genuine ticking, and surfaces with simulated recessed ticking suffer from the drawback that they are typically slippery when wet. One reason for this is that the ticking, which forms the minority of the surface area, is recessed, while the majority of the surface area is defined by the area between the ticking and is generally smooth. Efforts to provide improved traction on wood or artificial surfaces typically consist of applying a grit or texture thereto such that grit or texture extends upwardly from the smooth areas of the surface.
- The present invention provides an improved approach to simulating wood grain wherein the wood grain is inverted. That is, the wood grain has smooth areas interposed with ticking, as is typical with natural wood, but, unlike natural wood, the ticking extends upwardly from the smooth areas to improve traction on the surface. The upwardly extending ticking elements define a minority of the overall area of the surface with the simulated wood grain and therefore provide a good traction surface.
- As used herein, wood grain is defined as having a smooth area interposed with ticking. The ticking generally runs along a grain axis. The smooth areas, in aggregate, form a majority of the visible area of the wood grain. Natural wood has a wood grain with the smooth areas generally defining the surface of the natural wood and the ticking being recessed inwardly with respect to the smooth areas. In accordance with the present invention, an article with a simulated wood grain comprises a molded unitary body having a first face with a total area. The first face of the unitary body has a base surface. Ticking elements are disposed on and extend upwardly from the base surface. The ticking elements extend generally along a ticking axis. Each ticking element has an upper ticking surface spaced above the base surface. The upper ticking surfaces of the ticking elements in aggregate form a minority of the total area of the first face of the molded unitary body. The ticking elements and the base surface cooperate to simulate the appearance of wood grain on the first face of the molded unitary body.
