  • Facing element for floors, ceilings, walls and the like
    Patent number: 5390468
    Abstract: A facing element (10) includes a honeycomb carrier plate (12) which is clamped, sandwich-like, between two cover plates (14, 16) by clamping anchors (18). On the upper cover plate (14) is affixed by adhesion, a natural stone plate (22). The honeycomb carrier plate (12) projects at two diagonal edges by projections (21, 23) beyond the cover plate (14). At both other edges of the carrier plate (12), pocket-like depressions (25, 27) are formed which, in form and position, are complementary to the projections (21, 23) at the diagonal plate edges. In the plate connection the projections of a facing element engage the pocket-like depressions (25, 27) of two adjacent facing elements so as to form a form-fit connection whereby a strong plate connection is created.
