Double-sided decorative window shutter

Abstract

The present subject matter is directed to a plastic reversable decorative window, which can be an integrally formed hollow blow-molded panel. The front and back surfaces of the hollow blow-molded panel are respectively formed as a first window surface and a second window surface, both of which can be used as decorative window surfaces. A window frame portion and a window panel portion of a window structure are formed on both the first window surface and the second window surface. According to some embodiments, this reversable window shutter can adopt a double-layer blow molding process to simultaneously complete the formation of both panels.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A blow-molded double-sided window shutter, comprising:
 a window body comprising a hollow, integrally formed blow-molded panel having a front surface and a back surface;   wherein the front surface defines a first window surface and the back surface defines a second window surface, each of the first and second window surfaces being configured as a decorative window surface, wherein the first window surface is different from the second window surface;   a hollow inner cavity disposed between the first window surface and the second window surface; and   a window frame portion and a window panel portion formed on each of the first and second window surfaces.   
     
     
         2 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow inner cavity defines a side surface having a thickness corresponding to a predetermined thickness of the double-sided window. 
     
     
         3 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a shape of the window frame portion on the first window surface is the different from a shape of the window frame portion on the second window surface.   
     
     
         4 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a shape of the window panel portion on the first window surface is different from a shape of the window panel portion on the second window surface.   
     
     
         5 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of the first window surface, second window surface, and side surface comprises a decorative surface layer and a base layer.   
     
     
         6 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 5 , wherein the base layer is composed of a material different from that of the decorative surface layer. 
     
     
         7 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 5 , wherein:
 the decorative surface layer comprises a material layer formed from new plastic material; and   the base layer comprises a material layer formed from recycled plastic material.   
     
     
         8 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 5 , wherein:
 a thickness ratio of the decorative surface layer to the base layer is in a range from 1:5 to 1:6.   
     
     
         9 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 5 , wherein:
 a surface of the decorative surface layer includes a textured wood grain pattern.   
     
     
         10 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the window panel portion is configured as a flat surface or a contoured surface.   
     
     
         11 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 10 , wherein:
 the contoured surface of the window panel portion comprises one of a horizontal stripe structure, a vertical stripe structure, a rattan weave structure, a louvered structure, or a slant-louvered structure.   
     
     
         12 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the window body further comprises a plurality of mounting holes configured to receive fastening members for installation.   
     
     
         13 . A blow-molded double-sided window shutter, comprising:
 a window body comprising a hollow, integrally formed blow-molded panel having a front surface and a back surface;   wherein the front surface defines a first window surface and the back surface defines a second window surface, each of the first and second window surfaces being configured as a decorative window surface, wherein the first window surface is the same as the second window surface;   a hollow inner cavity disposed between the first window surface and the second window surface; and   a window frame portion and a window panel portion formed on each of the first and second window surfaces.   
     
     
         14 . The blow-molded double-sided window shutter of  claim 13 , wherein the hollow inner cavity defines a side surface having a thickness corresponding to a predetermined thickness of the double-sided window. 
     
     
         15 . A plastic double-sided window shutter, comprising:
 a window body comprising a hollow, integrally formed injection-molded panel having a front surface and a back surface;   wherein the front surface defines a first window surface and the back surface defines a second window surface, each of the first and second window surfaces being configured as a decorative window surface; and   a window frame portion and a window panel portion formed on each of the first and second window surfaces.   
     
     
         16 . The plastic double-sided window shutter of  claim 15 , wherein:
 a shape of the window panel portion on the first window surface is different from a shape of the window panel portion on the second window surface.   
     
     
         17 . The plastic double-sided window shutter of  claim 15 , wherein:
 each of the first window surface, second window surface, and side surface comprises a decorative surface layer and a base layer.
