Method of making a sandwich panel

摘要

A fully or partly edged panel (10; 200) of wood or wood fiber. The panel (10; 200) includes a sandwich blank (10*; 200*) having outer layers (11) of solid consistency, and at least one supple inner layer (12) with a lightweight, possibly “honeycomb” or supple foam material, structure. The panel (10; 200) is characterized by having at least one spacer (13; 213) inserted between the two outer layers (11) of the blank (10*; 200*) at at least one corner thereof. The peripheral outer faces (15) of the blank (10*; 200*) may be edged with an adhesive edging strip (16). Also described are methods (100; 1000) for manufacturing the panel (10; 200).

主权项

1. A method of manufacturing frameless panels; the method comprising the steps of:
(a) cutting a frameless sandwich blank from a strip or from a large sandwich panel produced in a manufacturing system, said frameless sandwich blank having two outer layers of more consistent material, and a supple inner layer of lesser consistency; (b) inserting at least two discrete spacing block-shaped plugs between the two outer layers inside the supple inner layer of said sandwich blank at at least two corners of said sandwich blank, one or more additional block-shaped plugs optionally being inserted at discrete locations along at least one lateral side of said blank; and (c) machining a lateral side of the frameless sandwich blank and of the at least one of said at least two discrete spacing block-shaped plugs with a tool.
