Patent number: 8480827Abstract: The invention relates to a method of resurfacing a substrate with an engineered quartz material comprised of 93% ground up quartz and recycled post-industrial or post-consumer materials mixed with 7% pigments and binders with a thickness ranged from 5-19 mm. The method includes cutting a first piece with an overhang and an edge piece of the engineered quartz from the slab material, attaching the edge piece to the overhang to form a seam at 90-degrees and attaching 1.5? wide fiberglass cloth strips to the inside edge to reinforce the seam to form a resurfacing assembly and adhesively attaching the resurfacing assembly to the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Inventors: Sean Christopher Harvey, John Willis Hassel

Patent number: 8480835Abstract: An apparatus and method to manufacture shaped counter top edges for custom counter tops. Sheet laminate is heated, clamped to a post form mold with clamping screws, and then formed around the post form mold into formed laminate. The formed laminate is then bonded to a substrate using adhesive and a bonding fixture having a plurality of bonding presses. Each bonding press has a pair of mutually opposed bonding press molds, each bonding press mold having a bonding press mold groove sized to admit a formed laminate around an edge of the substrate. Clamps hold the bonding press molds together, thereby urging the formed laminate into intimate contact with the substrate until the adhesive cures. A counter top edge is cut from the resulting substrate/laminate assembly at an edge first cut angle and an edge second cut angle to provide a neat and aesthetically pleasing installation on a counter.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2011Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: The Diller CorporationInventor: John W Pehr
