Patent number: 10828879Abstract: A method for manufacturing a panel including a reinforcement sheet having the steps of: providing a first layer of thermoplastic material, providing a reinforcement sheet, laying the reinforcement sheet and the first layer onto each other, applying a second layer of thermoplastic material on top of the reinforcement sheet at a side facing away from the first layer, at least partially melting the thermoplastic materials of the first layer and the second layer, adhering the at least partially melted first layer, the at least partially melted second layer and the reinforcement sheet to each other so as to form the panel. Additionally, the reinforcement sheet and the first layer are adhered to each other by pressing them together after at least partially melting the thermoplastic material of the first layer, but before applying the second layer of thermoplastic material onto the reinforcement sheet.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: IVC B.V.Inventors: Kristof Van Vlassenrode, Filip Gilbert Lucien Bossuyt

Publication number: 20120196093Abstract: A method for manufacturing a chamfered edge with depth d along at least one edge of an upper surface of a plate shaped object, of which at least an upper layer comprises a thermoplastic (or similar) material, comprises the steps of heating the plate shaped object near to said edge; engaging the respective edge of said upper surface with pressure means for forming said chamfered edge by locally displacing material of the upper layer in a downward direction while displacing a substantially corresponding amount of material of the object in a substantially sideward direction outward of the original boundaries of the object; and removing the amount of material which has been displaced outward of the original boundaries of the object. Further a plate shaped object with an upper surface provided with a chamfered edge along at least one of the edges of said upper surface is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2012Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: IVC N.V.Inventors: Kristof Van Vlassenrode, Filip Gilbert Lucien Bossuyt
