Abstract:
A merchandiser including a case that has a base and side walls extending upward from the base to at least partially define a product display area. The merchandiser also includes a bracket that is coupled to the base, and a bumper assembly that is coupled to an exterior surface of the base. The bumper assembly includes a shock absorber that has at least one end removably coupled to the base by a quick release mechanism engaged with the bracket and the shock absorber, and a bumper coupled only to an outermost portion of the shock absorber.
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. A third layer can subsequently be applied onto the main part which has been provided with the second layer in a process in which solely the lower face of the third layer is melted by locally applying energy, the third layer is immediately brought into contact with the surface of the second layer, and the second and the third layer are connected using pressure. The aforementioned sequence of steps is repeated with a fourth to an n-th layer until the desired total layer thickness of the multilayer arrangement is reached.
Abstract:
A door assembly is disclosed herein that is usable in a cabinetry system having removable cabinet faces. The door assembly includes a door plate coupleable to at least one hinge assembly, the door plate having a first portion and a second portion extending outward from the first portion. The door assembly also includes a door panel having a recess formed in an inward-facing surface thereof, the recess sized to receive the door plate. A plurality of magnets are inset within the inward-facing surface of the door panel adjacent the recess and are magnetically coupled to the door plate. According to various embodiments, the door plate may have a substantially L-shaped or C-shaped configuration.
Abstract:
A surface that includes a three-dimensional surface, wherein a notch is present in said three-dimensional surface. The surface further includes a metal edge inserted into the notch and attached to the three-dimensional surface.
Abstract:
A composed element, such as a piece of furniture, wherein the composed element comprises at least a rear wall, as well as a number of constructional parts forming a whole in which the rear wall has to be provided. The rear wall forms the rear side of the composed element and includes one or more rear wall parts. The composed element comprises seats for installing at least one of the rear wall parts, which are configured such that the rear wall part can be slid into the seats starting from the rear side of the composed element from a position differing from the final plane in which the rear wall part will be situated in the final condition.
Abstract:
Composed element, wherein this composed element comprises at least two panel-shaped elements, which substantially are formed from a board material; wherein said panel-shaped elements are interconnected at an angle by means of coupling devices including a tongue and a groove, which coupling devices substantially are made as profiled parts in the board material; and wherein said coupling devices also include locking elements, which, in coupled condition, prevent the moving apart of the tongue and groove. The panel-shaped elements are formed on the basis of board material in the form of particle board consisting of two or more layers, which in respect to the average fineness of the particles, show a different degree of fineness, namely a basic layer with coarser particles, more particularly chips, and at least one outer layer, or at least a more outward-situated layer, which is of a finer composition than the composition of the basic layer, in other words, with particles, chips, respectively, which on average are finer.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to bonding an edge banding to the edge of wood or wood composite furniture by using a co-extruded dual compound polypropylene edge band that contains a main body of polypropylene and an EVA backing layer. The edge of the wood or wood composite material is bonded to a polypropylene edge band by an EVA backer layer that includes EVA-based glue. Bonding between the edge band and composite wood material is achieved without the use of a primer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an edge trim for pieces of furniture, comprising a molten film. In order to improve a generic edge trim such that the same is more versatile and can especially be mounted on a wider selection of surfaces, the molecular structure of the molten film contains both polar and non-polar parts.
Abstract:
A surface-covering system and methods for making and using the same. The system includes a plurality of components each being a substantially planar portion having plurality of edges and an upper surface and an under surface. A second portion is attached to the under surface of the planar portion along a predetermined one of the edges, forming a thickened edge that has a predetermined cross-section. The plurality of components are placed edge-to-edge to cover a surface. If desired, the edges can be straight and/or the upper and lower surfaces of the components can be rectangular. Also, the cross-section of the thickened edge can be an arc of a circle. The second portion can be attached to the under surface of the planar portion by an adhesive such as an epoxy adhesive. The component can be made from a quarry material such as granite.
