Двухслойная паркетная доска

Номер: RU0000182637U1
Автор: Жиргалбек Актаевич Айдаров
Принадлежит: Общество с ограниченной ответственностью "Мастер-Класс"

Полезная модель относится к деревообрабатывающей промышленности, а именно к конструкции паркетной доски. Техническим результатом является повышенная гибкость, уменьшенная деформация доски после установки, экономия ценного сырья при сохранении потребительских свойств, минимизация естественных напряжений в древесине и снижение веса изделия. Технический результат достигается за счет двухслойной паркетной доски, которая включает верхний слой и нижний слой, соединенные между собой с помощью клея и выполненные из древесины твердых лиственных пород. Причем верхний слой выполнен в виде цельной планки толщиной от 2 до 12 мм из древесины ценных пород. Нижний слой выполнен из узких хвойной породы древесины толщиной от 4,5 до 14,3 мм, шириной от 10-50 мм, снабженных элементами соединения досок между собой, расположенными по периметру нижнего слоя. При этом рейки нижнего слоя расположены поперек планки верхнего слоя на расстоянии от 2 до 10 мм друг от друга. С двух сторон поперек каждой рейки выполнены пазы, в которые вставлена леска для соединения реек в единую конструкцию. Причем пазы на рейках нижнего слоя выполнены на той части, которая соединяется с верхним слоем.
