Abstract
A bamboo board comprising a number of longitudinal layers (4) and a number of lateral layers (5). The longitudinal layer is made by longitudinal bamboo strips (1) bonded together with adhesives (3), and the lateral layer is made by lateral bamboo strips (2) bonded together with adhesives (3). During assembly, the longitudinal layers and lateral layers are laid over alternately, with strips of each layer at right angles to those of adjacent layers, and bonded by adhesives (3) in between to become said bamboo board.
Claims5
A bamboo board comprising a number of longitudinal layers and a number of lateral layers, each said layer being made by uniform bamboo strips bonded with adhesives, said longitudinal layers and said lateral layers being laid over alternately, with strips of each layer at right angles to those of adjacent layers, and bonded by adhesives in between thereby producing a rectangular board.
A method for producing a bamboo board, comprising the following steps in sequence:
- (a) splitting lengthwise along the trunk of a bamboo tree to obtain uniform bamboo strips;
- (b) placing said bamboo strips side by side and bonding with adhesives in between to make flat and thin rectangular longitudinal layers;
- (c) placing said bamboo strips side by side and bonding with adhesives in between to make flat and thin rectangular lateral layers with the length of said longitudinal layers as its width, and the width of said longitudinal layers as its length;
- and
- (d) laying over said longitudinal layers and said lateral layers alternately, with bamboo strips of each said layer at right angles to those of adjacent layers, and bonding them with adhesives in between to form a multi-layer rectangular board.
