Description

(1) Further details and advantages of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.

(2) There are shown:

(3) FIG. 1: a schematic view of the worksteps in the manufacture of the cover;

(4) FIG. 2: a perspective view of the corner region of a support panel;

(5) FIG. 3: perspective views of the corner region of a support panel with through-holes without a hinge, with a hinge, and with a cover before its placing on; and

(6) FIG. 4: perspective views of the corner region of a cover and of a furniture panel with different materials of the cover.

(7) FIG. 1 shows in Step 1 a sheet metal plate 100 from which individual sheet metal blanks 10 are cut out by e.g. laser.

(8) The steps are each marked by numbers above the Figures.

(9) Such a sheet metal blank 10 is shown in Step 2. It has a polygonal, preferably quadrangular, shape (dashed lines), at whose sides a respected edge region K projects. The sheet metal blank 10 forms the support panel 10.

(10) The support material 10 is lined over the full surface with a textile or with leather or with another covering B on one side in Step 3.

(11) A stamp S is then positioned in the corner regions of the covering in Step 4 and a corner of the covering is punched out, as can be seen in Step 5.

(12) Subsequently, the projecting edges of the covering B are draped over the support material 10, as can be seen from Step 5 (see arrows) and the edges K of the support material 10 are consecutively (1, 2, . . . ) or simultaneously chamfered, as is shown in Step 6. These edges K are preferably subsequently perpendicular to the base surface of the support material, i.e. perpendicular to the plane of the paper.

(13) On chamfering, the covering is draped inward at the corners (see arrow), i.e. toward the support material. The outer side of the cover disposed at the bottom in Steps 1 to 7 is now completely covered by the covering.

(14) If the cover is now turned over starting from the position in accordance with Step 7, the cover 200 in accordance with Step 8 is obtained, i.e. a box-like body having an open side that is arranged at the bottom in Step 8.

(15) FIG. 2 shows the support plate T with a chamfer or with a step-like projection S.

(16) FIG. 3 shows the through-holes D of the support panel T without fittings (a), with hinge holders received therein (b) at which the hinge BS is located, and briefly before the placing on of the cover 200, as can be seen from FIG. 3c).

(17) A cover 200 having a textile outer side without a support panel can be seen from FIG. 4a). FIG. 4b) shows the cover 200 in the state placed onto the support panel T, with the cover having a textile on its visible outer side.

(18) FIG. 4c) shoes the arrangement in accordance with FIG. 4b) with a cover whose outer side consists of natural leather.

(19) In a preferred embodiment, the present invention has one or more of the following advantages:

(20) 1. Single-side leather/textile lining possible without deformation of the components by floating support of the cover on the support panel;

(21) 2. Industrial adhesion process of the front sides possible;

(22) 3. Textile seam appearance without seams;

(23) 4. Modular system: Free combination of the materials of the support and cover;

(24) 5. Variation is only produced right at the end of the manufacturing process;

(25) 6. 2-shell design; thereby visual “lightness”;

(26) 7. Subsequent replacement of the covers possible;

(27) 8. All the technology (hinges, touch fitting, buffers, etc.) is done in a known material on the rear side, i.e. on the side of the support plate remove from the cover;

(28) 9. Cover is only applied right at the end of the manufacturing process; the risk of damage/contamination is thereby reduced;

(29) 10. Own production and external purchase of the covers possible;

(30) 11. No open edges at the covering, e.g. at the leather or textile;

(31) 12. Support can be completely sealed so that protection against moisture can also be achieved;

(32) 13. The most varied materials can be processed such as leather, textile, paper, films, etc.
