Storage counter - mobile, magnetically adhesive counter made of solid wood with invisibly integrated magnets

Abstract

Mobile storage and counter board, consisting of a solid wood body with dimensions 102 × 252 × 29 mm, characterized in that at least five neodymium permanent magnets with screw holes are completely invisibly integrated inside and covered with a real wood veneer, the arrangement ensuring a minimum holding power of 3 kg on a vertical ferromagnetic surface.

Description

1. Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to mobile shelves and counter tables, in particular boards made of solid wood, in which strong permanent magnets are invisibly integrated. They are used for attachment to ferromagnetic surfaces such as car or camper bodies, refrigerators, garage doors or metal walls. 2. State of the art / Problem statement

[0002] Storage or cutting boards with magnetic fastening are well-known. However, conventional designs use visible, screwed-on, or easily replaceable magnets. These solutions are visually unappealing, offer weak holding power, or are easy to copy. The object of the invention is to provide a storage board that: integrates magnets completely invisibly, ensures a reproducible minimum holding force, functions regardless of wood type and size, and is protected from easy imitation by its design and manufacturing method. 3. Solution to the task

[0003] The solution consists of a solid wooden body with defined dimensions, into which at least five neodymium magnets (extra strong, screw-hole magnets) are invisibly embedded and concealed by real wood veneer. The wooden body is treated with a water-repellent, natural base finish, making it suitable for outdoor use. The magnets are arranged to achieve a minimum holding force of 3 kg. The holding force is at least 3 kg and can be further increased by adjusting the number or strength of the magnets. The magnet arrangement is fixed by the design; replacing or modifying it with other magnet types or wood species is not possible without destroying the product. 4. Examples of Implementation 4.1 Standard Size • Length: 252 mm • Width: 102 mm • Height: 29 mm • Weight: approx. 594 g (including 5 magnets) • Material: Solid oak, oiled / treated, water-repellent • Magnet cover: Real wood veneer, solid oak 4.2 Magnet arrangement • Magnet type: Neodymium magnets, extra strong, with screw hole, specified for 30 kg pulling force • Number in the standard model: 5 magnets • Holding capacity: at least 3 kg total load on a horizontal surface • Holding force per magnet: approx. 0.6 kg 4.3 Variants • With 5 magnets: Holding weight approx. 3 kg (HL = 5.05) • With 6 magnets: Holding weight approx. 3.6 kg (HL = 6)

[0004] The design is such that the minimum holding power is always guaranteed, even with different wood densities (variable residual moisture). 4.4 Other sizes

[0005] The invention includes all variants and sizes in addition to the standard model, as long as the principle (wooden board + invisibly integrated neodymium magnets with defined holding force) is adhered to.

[0006] Copying by changing the dimensions, number of magnets, magnet types or wood types is excluded.

[0007] Covered with real wood veneer, treated to be water-repellent. 4.5 Special characteristics • Invisible integration of the magnets under the veneer covering • Wood types freely selectable (oak, beech, walnut, bamboo, etc.) • All magnet types excluded except for the claimed neodymium magnets • Water-repellent thanks to a special natural-based surface treatment • Suitable for outdoor use and wipeable with a damp cloth 4.6 Measurement data (experiments) • Weight of standard board: 594 g • Holding weight: 2.8-4.5 kg (depending on the number of magnets) • Minimum holding power (HL): ≥ 3 kg for standard model (5 magnets) • Influence of residual moisture: taken into account in calculation, no functional impairment 5. Drawings

[0008] The following illustrations are included as schematic representations: Drawing: Storage counter Fig. 1: Top view of the storage counter with dimensions (102 × 252 × 29 mm). The top view is also the storage surface, which can bear a minimum load of 3 kg. 1.1: Detailed view of a neodymium screw-hole magnet. The solid black area represents the magnet when screwed in. The depth of the magnet is important here. Fig. 2: Front view / cross-section showing the position of the magnets (shown with dashed lines). For a standard board size, 5 magnets are installed, spaced at the necessary intervals. After the magnets are screwed in, a real wood veneer is applied to this surface, ensuring a virtually invisible finish and creating the magnetic surface.
