Monolithic Finishing Process And Machine For Furniture Parts And The Like
US Patent:
5116639, May 26, 1992
Filed:
Feb 7, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/307689
Inventors:
Stephen B. Kolk - Grand Rapids MI
James P. Theuerkauf - Alto MI
Fredrick J. Walz - Caledonia MI
James P. Theuerkauf - Alto MI
Fredrick J. Walz - Caledonia MI
Assignee:
Steelcase Inc. - Grand Rapids MI
International Classification:
B05D 306
B05D 500
B31F 100
B05D 500
B31F 100
US Classification:
427 541
Abstract:
A process and machine are provided to manufacture furniture parts and the like with a unique, durable, low gloss finish which has a soft, satin feel, and imparts a monolithic appearance to the part. A blank cut from a suitable substrate material is grooved about its marginal edge to a depth near the opposite surface of the blank. A liquid edge protection material is poured into the groove and fully cured. The blank is then cut through at the filled groove to create a decorative protection strip about the marginal edge of the blank. The formed blank is next coated with a preselected paint or base material. After the base coat is cured, a layer of UV curable, protective material is applied to the painted surfaces of the blank. The UV coated blank is then translated through a multi-stage, continuous feed, ultraviolet processor to selectively and sequentially cure the protective coat. Powered rollers arranged in spaced apart groups convey the parts through the processor.
Wood Desk Top
US Patent:
4206576, Jun 10, 1980
Filed:
Nov 16, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/961039
Inventors:
Fredrick J. Walz - Kentwood MI
Assignee:
Steelcase Inc. - Grand Rapids MI
International Classification:
E04G 2300
US Classification:
52291
Abstract:
The specification discloses a desk top in which a prestressing bar having a convex upper surface is located within a groove in the bottom of the desk top. The ends of the bar are biased towards engagement with the upper surface of the groove whereby the desk top itself is biased towards a convex configuration, thereby compensating for forces tending to cause the top to bow downwardly.
