Description
SIMULATED BRICK PRODUCT
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a simulated product, and particularly, relates to a simulated brick product.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Simulated brick products are known in the art and are generally used in the field of wall coverings to provide a simulated brick appearance. Generally, the prior art has attempted to take panels and treat them in a manner which produces the desired brick appearance. Thus, one may look to prior art such as United States Patents 3,882,218 and 3,621,625. Generally, the material which has been used are ceramic or plastic materials although cork has also been suggested as a possible material.
One unique approach is that shown in United States Patent 4,313,775 wherein a simulated brick decorative surface is provided from specially shaped and cut sections of wood. In this patent, the wood sections are cut across the grain preferably at an angle other than 90 degrees resulting in a rigid yet flexible thin piece of wood which gives the appearance of being one edge of a brick.
There is a widespread demand for a material which would simulate brick.
Preferably, the material is relatively lightweight and easier to work with than a true brick product.
SLIIvIMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a simulated brick product and a method of producing the same.
According to the present invention, there is provided a simulated brick product, -I-the simulated brick product comprising a piece of wood, the wood having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface having a plurality of irregularly shaped recesses formed therein, a coating applied on the top surface, the piece of wood preferably having an overall rectangular configuration.
There is also provided a method for producing a simulated brick product, the method comprising the steps of passing a piece of wood through an apparatus and which apparatus is adapted to create random looking recesses on an upper surface of the wood, and subsequently applying a coating to at least the upper surface.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Having thus generally described the invention, reference will be made to the accompanying drawings illustrating an embodiment thereof, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a plurality of simulated bricks;
Figure 2 is a top plan view of a plurality of simulated bricks;
Figure 3 is an enlarged view of two simulated brick products in an abutting relationship;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the rear portion of one embodiment of a simulated brick product;

Figure 6 is a side elevational view of a simulated brick product;
Figure 7 is a side elevational view illustrating placement of simulated brick products on a substrate; and Figure 8 is a perspective view of an apparatus for producing simulated brick products.

-2-DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to the drawings in greater detail and by reference characters thereto, there is illustrated a simulated brick product which is generally designated by reference numeral 10.
Simulated brick product 10 is an overall rectangular configuration having opposed sides 12, 14 and opposed ends 16, 18. Naturally, it will be understood that other configurations may be employed as is done in the case of conventional brick products or another similar products. Thus, the simulated brick product 10 could have a rectangular configuration, oval configuration, circular configuration, etc.
Simulated brick product 10 has an upper surface 20 wherein a plurality of irregularly shaped recesses 22 are formed. Recesses 22 are irregular in configuration and although they are repeated from one simulated brick product to another, they are sufficiently irregular that identification of a particular pattern is difficult.
In one embodiment, and similar to the conventional wood floor, there may be provided a tenon 24 on side 12 and a mortise 26 on side 14. Even further, if desired, a similar tenon and mortise arrangement may be used on ends 16, 18.
In one embodiment, a lower surface of simulated brick product 10 is provided with a pressure sensitive adhesive 28 covered by a paper backing 30. Thus, the product may easily be applied to a substrate by the end user merely by removing the paper backing 30.
In an exterior application, the simulated brick product 10 may be applied to a wall 32. As is known in the art, an adhesive 34 may be applied to wall 32 by means of an applicator 36.
As shown in Figure 8, there may be provided an apparatus generally designated by

As shown in Figure 8, there may be provided an apparatus generally designated by
-3-reference numeral 40 for use in manufacture of simulated brick product 10.
Apparatus 40 includes a base 42 having a plurality of shafts 44 mounted thereon. A pair of blocks 46 extend between a pair of shafts 44 while an upper member 48 is mounted on the top of shafts 44.
Mounted between blocks 46 and rotatably journaled therein is a roller 50 having a drive shaft 52 connected thereto. Drive shaft 52 is suitably driven by a motor (not shown). An upper wheel 54 is mounted to a shaft 56 which is screw threadably engaged with upper member 48. A block 58 is secured to blocks 46 to raise or lower the same.
Roller 50 is provided with outwardly extending protrusions to form the desired pattern on a wood product passing therethrough.
It will be understood that the above described embodiment is for purposes of illustration only and that changes and modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
