Abstract
Abstract A rounded edge portion of a core of a composite plate is cut away after a laminate has been bonded to the upper surface thereof so that the rounded edge portion can be tilted upwardly. The groove which extends upwardly from a lower portion of the edge is spread in a wedge manner and is filled with a durable filling before the laminate is bent over the edge portion and bonded thereby to simultaneously close the mouth of the groove.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A composite plate comprising: a core having an upper and a lower surface and separated from a rounded edge portion by an upwardly and inwardly extending wedge-shaped groove having a wide mouth at an edge of said core proximal to said lower surface and terminating in a narrow groove portion at said upper surface whereby said edge portion is deflected to lie above said upper surface; a decorative sheet adhesively bonded to said upper surface and extending across said groove portion, around said edge portion and closing said mouth; and a durable filling in said groove extending from said mouth to the end of said groove portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A composite plate comprising: a core having an upper and a lower surface and separated from a rounded edge portion by an upwardly and inwardly extending wedge-shaped groove having a wide mouth at an edge of said core proximal to said lower surface and terminating in a narrow groove portion at said upper surface whereby said edge portion is deflected to lie above said upper surface; a decorative sheet adhesively bonded to said upper surface and extending across said groove portion, around said edge portion and closing said mouth; and a durable filling in said groove extending from said mouth to the end of said groove portion.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The composite plate defined in claim 1 wherein said groove portion is opening at said upper surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The composite plate defined in claim 2 wherein said groove portion is perpendicular to said upper surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composite plate defined in claim 1, further comprising a protective foil bounded to said lower surface of said core.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
The composite plate defined in claim 1 wherein said filling includes a hardenable substance contained in part of said groove including said groove portion and a solid body received in the remainder of said groove including said mouth.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
The composite plate defined in claim 2 wherein said filling includes a hardenable substance contained in part of said groove including said groove portion and a solid body received in the remainder of said groove including said mouth.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
The composite plate defined in claim 3 wherein said filling includes a hardenable substance contained in part of said groove including said groove portion and a solid body received in the remainder of said groove including said mouth.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
38 words
The composite plate defined in claim 4 wherein said filling includes a hardenable substance contained in part of said groove including said groove portion and a solid body received in the remainder of said groove including said mouth.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
148 words
A method of making a composite plate with a core having upper and lower surfaces, which comprises the steps of: rounding an edge of said core at least at an upper part of said core to form an edge portion, bonding a decorative sheet to said upper surface of said core and said edge portion with a flap of said decorative sheet freely overhanging the edge portion, forming a groove from a lower portion of said edge towards said upper surface to define said edge portion, bending said edge portion upwardly to lift the rounded part thereof above said upper surface, introducing a durable filling into said groove from a mouth thereof towards the end of said groove, and bonding said flap of said decorative sheet around said edge portion to the bottom surface of said core so that said decorative sheet closes the mouth of said groove.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
148 words
A method of making a composite plate with a core having upper and lower surfaces, which comprises the steps of: rounding an edge of said core at least at an upper part of said core to form an edge portion, bonding a decorative sheet to said upper surface of said core and said edge portion with a flap of said decorative sheet freely overhanging the edge portion, forming a groove from a lower portion of said edge towards said upper surface to define said edge portion, bending said edge portion upwardly to lift the rounded part thereof above said upper surface, introducing a durable filling into said groove from a mouth thereof towards the end of said groove, and bonding said flap of said decorative sheet around said edge portion to the bottom surface of said core so that said decorative sheet closes the mouth of said groove.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
47 words
The method defined in claim 9 wherein said rounding of said core extends over only 60 to 95% of the thickness of said core to leave a ridge along said edge at said bottom surface whereby said ridge forms a guide for the formation of said groove.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
54 words
The method defined in claim 10 wherein a solid body is inserted into said mouth of said groove, further comprising the step of cutting away said body and said ridge prior to the application of said flap of said decorative sheet to the surface resulting when said body and said ridge are cut away.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method defined in claim 9 wherein a protective foil is adhesively bonded to said bottom surface simultaneously with the bonding of said decorative sheet to said upper surface.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
76 words
The method defined in claim 9 wherein a groove portion is initially milled in said upper surface perpendicular thereto, said sheet is bonded to said upper surface and to said edge portion across said groove portion prior to the formation of the upwardly and inwardly inclined groove, and the upwardly and inwardly inclined groove meets said groove portion to completely separate said edge portion from said core while leaving said edge portion supported by said plate.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
76 words
The method defined in claim 10 wherein a groove portion is initially milled in said upper surface perpendicular thereto, said sheet is bonded to said upper surface and to said edge portion across said groove portion prior to the formation of the upwardly und inwardly inclined groove, and the upwardly and inwardly inclined groove meets said groove portion to completely separate said edge portion from said core while leaving said edge portion supported by said plate.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
76 words
The method defined in claim 11 wherein a groove portion is initially milled in said upper surface perpendicular thereto, said shett is bonded to said upper surface and to said edge portion across said groove portion prior to the formation of the upwardly and inwardly inclined groove, and the upwardly and inwardly inclined groove meets said groove portion to completely separate said edge portion from said core while leaving said edge portion supported by said plate.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
76 words
The method defined in claim 12 wherein a groove portion is initially milled in said upper surface perpendicular thereto, said sheet is bonded to said upper surface and to said edge portion across said groove portion prior to the formation of the upwardly and inwardly inclined groove, and the upwardly and inwardly inclined groove meets said groove portion to completely separate said edge portion from said core while leaving said edge portion supported by said plate.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
42 words
The method defined in claim 13 wherein as said filling a hardenable substance is introduced into said groove and fills only a portion of said groove including said groove portion and the remainder of said groove is filled by a solid body.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
42 words
The method defined in claim 14 wherein as said filling a hardenable substance is introduced into said groove and fills only a portion of said groove including said groove portion and the remainder of said groove is filled by a solid body.
