The present invention relates to the field of systems of building structures based on sustainable materials, in particular to the assembly of pieces of cardboard in two main types: corrugated and laminated cardboard, more specifically to the combination of both cardboards for the construction of structures that form furniture, packaging and self-supported structures.
There are structures built from sheets of corrugated cardboard, such as boxes and displays with a variety of presentations on the state of the art. They obtain a considerable structural strength due to folds, tabs, tongue and slots that accommodate them to form interlocking locks that prevent folding or deformation of three-dimensional structures.
With regard to generally laminated cardboard is used to give support to the packaging of the final product, used as a corner pieces that does not form part of the structure basis, but are placed at the time of packing or pelletized to protect the box or group of boxes on the external edges, which are the most exposed against wear by friction with other tougher materials during transport.
For more specific solutions, it is necessary to provide an assembly system that integrates the two kinds of cardboard, namely, sheets of corrugated cardboard and laminated cardboard angle profiles or corner pieces, both elements complement each other to form three-dimensional structures that take full advantage of the advantages of each of the types of cardboard.
Corrugated cardboard has a large load capacity on the edge in the axial direction of the flute, little strength in the direction perpendicular to it and also little strength across the sheet, said element is used as an element to support compression considering the axial direction of the flute. Equivalent in the field of construction with a wall of load, the corner pieces would be the girders, beams, chains, and castles of reinforced concrete.
As a complement to form a stable and strength structure that supports heavy loads, not used for cardboard constructed elements state-of the art defines a wide range of extruded laminated cardboard, with the characteristic of having high strength to axial loads as well as perpendicular loads. This laminated cardboard, is manufactured by means of the splice with adhesive from a plurality of sheets of paper, stacked one above the other. These elements or profiles are used as structural support elements in the vertical, horizontal or oblique position. It is necessary to also provide additional strength to the corrugated board based on the teaching of the strength of laminated cardboard, so splices of sheets of corrugated cardboard used as core of additional support to the inherent strength to the corrugated flute are made at the same time.
The state of the art is defined by a series of documents that describe some laminated corrugated cardboard, furniture elements and structural, such as arrays:

The corrugated cardboard is one of the main raw materials for the manufacture of boxes, packaging, containers, taking part in most of the chains of production and distribution worldwide. In its basic form consists of a first layer of smooth paper or liner, a second layer of corrugated paper (corrugated, fluted or medium) and a third layer of smooth paper, bonded through an adhesive so that the three layers to behave as a single structural element. The corrugated cardboard has a high strength to compression in the axial direction of the channels defined by the curls or flutes. Depending on the height between peak and valley of them is that it defines the type of flute. A-flute=5 mm, B-flute=3 mm, C-flute=4 mm, E-flute=1.5 mm. For the purpose to further increase the strength mentioned are manufactured double or triple corrugated forms in which are sandwiched smooth and wavy papers, which are defined according to the corrugated splice, for example: a double corrugated BC has a thickness of 7.00 mm, i.e. the sum of a B-flute and a C-flute. The corrugated cardboard is manufactured in sheets of different sizes to then transform them through adhesives and die machines in boxes, packaging, displays, etc.
The smooth paper works as cover of the wavy layer (flute), forming a structure with mechanical strength increased to loads in the axial direction of the channels defined by the curls or flutes, i.e., increased strength to compression, so is possible to stack several boxes filled of product without these deforming considerably. Strength is given by such factors as the weight or strength of the papers and the height of the wave or flute.
Laminated cardboard is manufactured by joining several layers smooth paper with a waterproof adhesive (VCT) to make it useful in the manufacture of items subject to humid conditions and requiring increased strength expressed in g/m2, typical strengths are handled between 600 to 1250 g/m2. Unlike the corrugated cardboard, it is manufactured only using smooth paper by joining multiple layers with same adhesive.
To make a laminated cardboard 150 (in mils) caliber will join five papers of 30 mils.
Laminate cardboard comes in various presentations as extended sheets of one lesser caliber, narrow sheets or slabs of high caliber, narrow sheets with longitudinal folds at right angles forming corner pieces and rectangular channels “U”, sheets attached radially forming tubes. Laminate cardboard is much heavier than the corrugated cardboard, but therefore has an excellent capacity of axial and transverse load, suitable for use as structural elements of load.
The die-cutting process consists in marking or cutting a material using pressure with a tooling called die. In the context of the present application, stamping is performed by means of a wooden board with grooves in the form of the desired shape in which are inserted sheets that follow the contours of the figure, through a die machine the corrugated is located between the knives and a plate, by exercising pressure alleged figure is cut.
The process to adhere one surface with another by means of glue is called the splice, can be done manually or by means of a suitable machine. A surface as the cover or the corrugated surface is covered with adhesive and prepared to overlap another sheet of corrugated cardboard or simply a sheet of cardboard white or printed with advertising or informational motifs.
Through the splice process to a single or double corrugated cardboard, more layers of corrugated cardboard, are added in order to increase its thickness, strength and load capacity. It is possible to splice blank sheets or parts already die-cut. Additionally it is possible to splice multiple parts with the direction of the parallel flute between all of them. It is also possible splice intercalated transverse flutes one by one, for example, the pair parts in direction of 90° in relation to the odd. With the splice of flutes in the parallel direction is achieved a support element with a compressive strength increased in the longitudinal direction of the flute; but relatively weak in the transverse direction, the interleaving of flute directions forms panels with the same load capacity in both directions.
This application basically consists of the manufacture of several panels of corrugated cardboard formed through the splice of sheets of cardboard corrugated die-cut from a specific shape preset according to the intended structure. The splice is formed with the splice of several layers of corrugated board with slots and last layer without slots that functions as a cover. This so that once formed panels, they are inserted in sections of profiles of laminated cardboard into the die-cut slots to obtain a volumetric element, the last layer or cover makes the function of cover on the end of the profile entered into the slot or die-cut prior to placement of adhesive into the slot to achieve a stable three-dimensional structure. It is possible to make variations of form at will of the user as for example, silhouettes in traditional forms such as chairs or abstract forms. Covers and profiles have natural color, painting, or prints.
Laminated cardboard profiles have several forms which are adapted according to the needs of the structure, for example, corner piece, “U” channel and the tube. The quantity and caliber of the profiles are adjusted according to the requirements of design and load into support or load panels made of corrugated cardboard, the panels can be equal, mirror panels, of different sizes and shapes, parallel or oblique, divergent and convergent, perpendicular to the floor, parallel to the floor, as top cover, side cover and supports intermediate, etc.
The corrugated cardboard spliced forming support panels and therefore the support elements of various structures object of the present invention, must contain a plurality of slots in the form and location set to form the desired three-dimensional structure, elongated laminated cardboard profiles are placed in these slots by pressure and fully defined by the inner layer of smooth paper a base format used as panel covers are used for external support parts. Support internal panels are included in some types of structures that do not require such covers, in this case, slots are interns from side to side, i.e. they are slots preset defined by the shape of profiles of laminated cardboard used to form three-dimensional structure. The covers have the function of prevent profiles through the slots completely and get out of the body of the panel, the last layer or outer layer of corrugated cardboard base format has the same shape as the first one; but not to be die-cut slots on it, in this way profile covers when it reach that last layer which operates as a cover and is kept in an internal location within the support.
Elongated profiles are maintained within the slots with the application of an adhesive inside each and then is inserted the end of laminated cardboard, providing also a suitable drying time according to the adhesive, which in preferred embodiments is white glue.
The manufacturing of all structures with this application process is similar in all the structures obtained by the assembly system, namely, is placed on a flat horizontal surface a support panel manufactured with a plurality of base formats and with the respective slots facing up or presenting the plurality of them of front assembly operator; then is poured glue inside each die-cut slots that of said support panel; then started to place under manual pressure and properly aligned each laminated cardboard profiles, preferred embodiments of laminated cardboard profiles should take a position to make an angle relative to the horizontal plane or the inside of the support panel, manual pressure to ensure that the end comes to cover and runs through the entire depth of the groove marked by die is exercised; immediately is placed another back mirror panel with the slots facing toward the front of the operator, in each of the slots is placed adhesive to insert therein the free ends of the profiles of the piece previously formed, placing the ends of the profiles in each slot, is exerted pressure to cover these ends and thus is formed the three-dimensional structure built with base assembly system and structuring object of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment of stable self-supported the position of the profiles they form a right angle with respect to the panels of corrugated cardboard; but for aesthetic reasons or design there are other forms of three-dimensional structure of back panels that form oblique angles themselves or from the profiles of laminated cardboard; Yet, the position of laminated cardboard profiles form oblique angles with respect to themselves.
