The arc upper frame has a plurality of equally spaced sleeve holes disposed at the inner circumference thereof and the arc lower frame has a plurality of through holes equidistantly disposed at the outer circumference thereof, to which blades can be sleeve joined in radial shape and be easily adjusted into different angles for use. A small lower board is fastened on top of the lower board at the space defined by the arc lower frame, and two semicircular plates are fixed to the front and rear sides of the arc lower frame to complete the production thereof; whereby, the arc window frame is mainly molded via the material of foam plastics which is convenient, fast and easy in the process of production as well as beautiful in display as a whole.
Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




The present invention is related to a method of producing an arc window frame wherein said arc window frame is mainly made up of an arc decorative board, an arc upper frame, an arc lower frame, a lower board, blades, a small lower board, and a pair of semicircular plates. Said arc decorative board is fastened to the top of said arc upper frame, and said lower board is screw joined to the bottom of both said arc upper frame and lower frame thereof. Said blades, joined to both arc upper frame and lower frame in radial shape via inserted pins disposed at both ends thereof, can also be adjusted in different angles for use. Said small lower board is located on top of said lower board, while said semicircular plates are adapted to cover both sides of said arc lower frame to complete the production thereof; whereby, said arc window frame, mainly molded via the material of foam plastics, is convenient, fast, and easy in production as well as beautiful in display as a whole.




Please refer to

FIG. 1. A

conventional arc window frame


10


is mainly made up of an arc wooden frame


11


having an inserted groove


111


defining the inner circumference thereof, and a lower board


12


securely fixed to the bottom of said arc wooden frame


11


thereof. Said lower board


12


has an engaging groove


121


disposed at the upper facet thereof. A semicircular colored glass


12


is joined to said inserted groove


111


and said engaging groove


121


thereof and located at the space defined by said arc wooden frame


11


and said lower board


12


therein. A pair of decorative bars


14


is adapted to the front side of said semicircular colorful glass


12


in V shape.




There are some drawbacks to such conventional arc window frame


10


. Most of all, said arc wooden frame


11


is made by carving, which makes the process of production both inconveniently complex and uneconomically time-consuming.




SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION




It is, therefore, the primary purpose of the present invention to provide a method of producing an arc window frame wherein said arc window frame is mainly molded via the material of foam plastics, which is more convenient, faster, and easier in the process of production as well as more beautiful in display as a whole.




It is, therefore, the secondary purpose of the present invention to provide a method of producing an arc window frame wherein said arc window frame is equipped with a plurality of blades which, each joined to an arc upper frame and an arc lower frame in radial shape for beautiful display, can also be adjusted into different angles for practical use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS




Please refer to

FIG. 2

along with

FIGS. 3

,


4


. The present invention is related to a method of producing an arc window frame, comprising steps as follows:




First, a decorative board


2


, an upper plate


3


, and a lower plate


4


are molded by foam plastics and cut into a proper length and width respectively. Said decorative board


2


, upper plate


3


, and lower plate


4


are then heated and softened before placed onto a curving machine and bent into an arc decorative board


20


, an arc upper frame


30


, and an arc lower frame


40


respectively. The inner circumference of said arc decorative board


20


has the same radian as the outer circumference of said arc upper frame


30


thereof.




Second, said arc upper frame


30


and lower frame


40


are further processed on a platform. Said arc upper frame


30


is driven by an air drill to provide with a plurality of equally spaced sleeve holes


301


distributed properly at the inner circumference thereon, and a pair of screw holes


302


disposed at each lateral side of the bottom ends thereof. And said arc lower frame


40


is also driven via an air drill with a plurality of through holes


401


equidistantly distributed at the outer circumference thereon and a pair of fixing holes


402


disposed at each bottom edge thereof.




Third, a plurality of bars


5


is molded via foam plastics and cut into pieces of proper length and width. Said bars


5


are then punched into a plurality of blades


50


each having an inserted pin


501


extending outwards at both ends thereof respectively. A lower board


60


, two semicircular plates


70


and a small lower board


80


are also molded via foam plastics and cut into pieces of proper length and width respectively. Said lower board


60


is equipped with a plurality of fastening holes


601


distributed properly at the upper facet thereon, a pair of engaging holes


602


disposed at each lateral edge thereof respectively, and a length matching to the space defined by both bottom ends of said are upper frame


30


thereof.




Fourth, said lower board


60


is adapted and fixed to one bottom end of said arc upper frame


30


via one pair of said engaging holes


602


thereof correspondingly screw joined to one pair of the screw holes


302


thereof. Said blades


50


are sleeve joined to said arc upper frame


30


and said arc lower frame


40


at both ends thereof in radial shape via said inserted pins


501


thereof engaging with the sleeve holes


301


thereof at one side and with the through holes


401


thereof at the other side. Said lower board


60


is then securely attached to the other bottom end of said arc upper frame


30


via the other pair of said engaging holes


602


fixedly joined to the other pair of screw holes


302


thereof. The arc lower frame


40


is then screw joined to the lower board


60


via said fixing holes


402


thereof and said fastening holes


601


thereof.




Fifth, said arc decorative board


20


is mounted and fastened onto the outer circumference of said arc upper frame


30


thereof. A supporting plate


201


is applied thereon for location thereof. Said small lower board


80


is adapted to the inner side of said arc lower frame


40


and fixedly fastened thereto on top of said lower board


60


thereof. Said two semicircular plates


70


are then applied and fixedly fastened to both front and rear sides of said arc lower frame


40


to complete the production of a delicate and good-looking arc window frame


90


as shown in FIG.


5


.




Please refer to FIG.


6


. In practical use, said arc window frame


90


is properly located and mounted onto a window or a door. Said blades


50


can be properly adjusted in angle for use. Said arc window frame


90


, mainly molded by the material of foam plastics, is more convenient, faster, and easier in the process of production as well as more beautiful in display as a whole.
