A structural board comprises a surface board and a bottom board. The bottom board comprises a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface, and the surface board is fixedly connected on the second supporting surface. The bottom board comprises a plurality of protruding cavities spaced apart from one another. Two end surfaces of each of the plurality of protruding cavities along a protruding direction of the plurality of protruding cavities respectively defines the first supporting surface and the second supporting surface. Each of a plurality of straight ribs is defined by two adjacent, spaced apart protruding cavities of the plurality of protruding cavities. Some of the plurality of straight ribs are connected together in an extending direction, and the plurality of straight ribs with different extending directions extend to be cross-connected to one another to form a polygonal mesh structure that defines the first supporting surface.

Blow-molded unitary structure with enhanced strength
11524812 · 2022-12-13 · ·

A blow-molded unitary structure includes a panel having first and second panel walls and a generally hollow interior between the first and second panel walls. The structure also includes a plurality of depressions, or at least one ridge, or both the depressions and ridge to enhance the strength of the structure. The plurality of depressions is monolithically formed with the panel, recessing from the second panel wall toward the first panel wall. A depression has a side wall composed of first and second segments. Cross-sectional-wise, the first and second segments have different widths and thus collectively forms a step between the first and second segments. A ridge is also monolithically formed with the panel and includes a section, at which the width of the ridge varies along the height direction of the ridge.

Item of furniture having an attachable plate-shaped composite element with integrated fitting

An item of furniture includes at least one furniture element and at least one fitting for guiding a movable furniture part.

Method for manufacturing furniture using extruded polymer profiles
11608844 · 2023-03-21 ·

A method for manufacturing furniture using extruded polymeric honeycomb profiles, capable of providing the market with a sustainable product which can be exposed to moisture. The method includes three polymeric extruded honeycomb profiles, the extruded profile being fitted to the profile by inserting the flanges into the angled conformation, being anchored by the contact of the external flexible flaps with the flexible flaps. The union of profiles and provides an intermediate fitting allowing fixating the shelves, for example, being anchored by inserting the appendage into the angled conformations, fixating them through contact of the flexible external flanges with the external flexible flaps, allowing the formation of a three-part conjugation, being one profile and two profiles. The method allows the union of two profiles through the union of the external flexible flaps of the appendage, anchored to the internal flexible flaps of the flanges. After fitting the three profiles, which can be bottom, bases and shelves, the furniture is semi finished, the sides are mounted using profiles also fitted to the bottom, which refer to and position them, allowing the use of self-tapping screws attached to the hole of the support, allowing it to be anchored internally to the profiles, thus improving the finish in view of its honeycomb structure, after being finished with the cap to conceal the hole and the screw. The cutting edges are covered with adhesive border strips along the side walls, internal structural elements and supports.
