  • Patent number: 11160375
    Abstract: An edge strip for pieces of furniture including a main body with an underside that can be attached to a piece of furniture and an upper side facing away from the underside, wherein the upper side has at least one transition section sloping down towards an edge of the main body. In order to enable an improved visual impression of the edge strip in the transition section, the transition section slopes down in a stepped manner towards the edge of the main body, wherein the transition section has at least two steps, each with an upper side surface and an edge side surface per step, wherein the upper side surfaces are aligned independently of one another in relation to the underside and wherein the edge side surfaces are inclined independently of one another in relation to the underside.

  • Patent number: 11021006
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an edge profile for a sheet-like material including a layered structure with a main body made of plastic which has a first base colour tone, with a decorative base material which has a second base colour tone, and with a decorative print. A final decoration which has a third base colour tone is formed at least from decorative base material and decorative print together. The decorative base material is a layer arranged between main body and decorative print. For easier production, the invention proposes that the decorative base layer is a layer of plastic co-extruded with the main body. The invention also relates to a sheet-like material with a corresponding edge profile.

  • Patent number: 10442131
    Abstract: The invention relates to an edge strip, especially for panels of pieces of furniture, comprising a hot-melt layer which consists of at least one easy-flow polyolefin and the rheological behavior of which can be controlled by means of the melt flow rates of the polyolefins used in hot-melt layer. The invention further relates to a method for producing an edge strip of said type as well as to a panel for pieces of furniture that is connected to an edge strip of said type.

  • Publication number: 20190217601
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an edge profile for a narrow surface of a plate-shaped material, wherein an edge band extending in a longitudinal direction has a decoration, and wherein the edge band has a three-dimensional structure. In order to further improve a furniture part with regard to optical and haptic properties, the decoration and the structure according to the invention are arranged in such a way that the structure is at least substantially congruent with the decoration. The invention further relates to a corresponding furniture part having a plate-shaped material, which has at least one narrow surface, an upper part, and a lower part, and at least one edge profile.

  • Publication number: 20150375449
    Abstract: The invention relates to a media-free, temperature-assisted adhesive connection method for connecting polypropylene (PP)-based molded parts, profiled sections, strips, and/or films in order to form a mechanically machinable multilayer arrangement on a main part with a different geometric design. According to the invention, a first molded part, profiled section, strip, or film layer (2) is first applied onto the main part (1), wherein energy is locally applied to the layer face pointing towards the main part until the lower face melts and is then immediately fixed to the main part (1) under the effect of pressure. A second layer (2) is then applied onto the main part which has been provided with the first layer in a process in which solely the lower face of the second layer is melted by locally applying energy, the second layer is immediately brought into contact with the surface of the first layer, and the first and the second layer are connected using pressure.
