摘要:
A louver includes an integral core having first and second opposed surfaces. There is a layer provided on at least a portion of at least the first surface of the core. The layer has a design pattern with a plurality of projections extending away from the core. The louver is also provided with an array of light-traversable perforations extending through the core and the layer. An assembly that has a support mountable to a frame of an opening and a plurality of louvers. The louvers are mountable relative to the support so that the louvers cover the opening. The assembly also has rotation members for rotating the louvers between a closed position and a partially open position and a fully open position. The projections combined with the perforations allow the louvers to present improved light transmission-reflection effects particularly when rotated.
摘要:
A co-extrusion process for making decorative moldings having a simulated wood appearance and a given profile includes mixing a base material and color particles to form a mixture, the base material having a rigid polymer and the color particles having a different color from the base material and a higher melt temperature than the base material. The mixture is heated and displaced using a feed screw such that the color particles move helically along the trajectory of the feed screw while avoiding backflow and melting to create corresponding helical vein segments within the base material. The mixture is forced through a tubular channel while controlling heat and shear conditions such that the helical vein segments remain substantially intact. The mixture is fed into a die having at least a first tubular inlet communicating with the tubular channel, a first outlet having a planar shape corresponding to the given profile, and a first cavity between the inlet and the outlet, the cavity having a form to flatten and widen the mixture to produce a planar surface coating at the outlet wherein the helical vein segments are transposed into two-dimensional nested arches simulating wood appearance. The surface coating is extruded onto a first side of a core having cellular polymer material, producing the decorative mouldings.
