Patents by Inventor Robert B. Bordener

Robert B. Bordener has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9650790
    Abstract: An assembly for securing a panel to a wall surface, including an elongated rail adapted to being secured in extending fashion along the wall surface and a clip adapted to being secured to a rear surface of the panel. The rail and clip each exhibit a similar cross sectional profile, with each including at least one mating and inclined support surface for redirecting a weight of the panel inwards toward the wall surface.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 16, 2017
    Inventor: Robert B. Bordener
  • Patent number: 9518393
    Abstract: An improved panel system and installation process for maintaining panel contact on all four edges of its perimeter, while simultaneously maintaining full planar bearing suspension of the panel weight. A plurality of moldings are provided in varying combinations, and in particular for engaging each of the installed panels upon its outside edge corners, as opposed to by the panel ends, in order to provide engagement through a compressive force which does not pull the panel apart, rather acts to keep the panel together while under stress.

  • Publication number: 20150191910
    Abstract: A wall panel attachment system for use with a vertically supported sub wall. Pluralities of horizontal and vertical extending and elongated profiles intersect to define an overall grid pattern. Each of the profiles exhibit, in cross section, a flattened base portion adapted to being secured to the sub wall by a plurality of fasteners. A web extends from an intermediate location of the base portion and in turn supports both an intermediate lip and an outermost spaced lip extending outwardly in both directions from the web. A plurality of panels each have a thickness separating front and back surfaces and surrounded by four interconnecting side edges within which are defined recessed profiles. The recessed profile edges of the panels seat the outermost spaced lips such that the back surface contacts the intermediate lip. The panels are permitted movement in multi axial directions in response to experienced coefficients of thermal expansion without buckling or warpage.

  • Publication number: 20150191912
    Abstract: An improved panel system and installation process for maintaining panel contact on all four edges of its perimeter, while simultaneously maintaining full planar bearing suspension of the panel weight. A plurality of moldings are provided in varying combinations, and in particular for engaging each of the installed panels upon its outside edge corners, as opposed to by the panel ends, in order to provide engagement through a compressive force which does not pull the panel apart, rather acts to keep the panel together while under stress.
