3. A method of fabricating a potted panel latch, the method comprising:
removing material from a face of a panel to form a recess therein, the recess being sized and shaped to receive a latch body;
securing a latch body within the recess; and
coupling a decorative sheet to the face of the panel, the decorative sheet overlying the latch body and a portion of the panel to provide an appearance of a continuous panel.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein securing the latch body within the recess comprises:
inserting the latch body within the recess; and
applying an adhesive through apertures positioned on a flange of the latch body, the latch body including a cavity formed around an interface between the latch body and the panel, the cavity being filled with the adhesive so as to bond the latch body to the panel.
5. The method of claim 4, further comprising:
securing a potting cover to the latch body and a portion of the panel;
applying the adhesive through potting cover apertures, the potting cover apertures being located to align with the apertures of the latch body; and
removing the potting cover after applying the adhesive.
6. The method of claim 4, further comprising:
removing material from a side surface of the panel to define a latch guide opening; and
securing a latch guide through the latch guide opening.
7. The method of claim 4, further comprising:
coupling a latch mechanism to the panel, wherein the latch mechanism is positioned within the latch body.
8. The method of claim 7 wherein coupling the latch mechanism comprises:
inserting the latch mechanism within the latch body;
inserting a latch guide through a latch guide opening formed through a side surface of the panel; and
fastening the latch guide to the latch mechanism with screws.
9. The method of claim 3 wherein coupling the decorative sheet includes applying a vacuum to draw the decorative sheet through the recess to provide an appearance of a continuous panel.
10. A method to decorate a face of a panel, the method comprising:
forming a recess in the face of the panel, the recess being configured to receive a latch body;
securing a latch body within the recess; and
decorating the face of the panel to provide an appearance of a continuous panel.
11. The method of claim 10 wherein decorating comprises overlaying a decorative coating over the latch body and a portion of the panel.
12. The method of claim 10 wherein securing the latch body within the recess comprises:
inserting the latch body within the recess; and
applying an adhesive through apertures positioned on a flange of the latch body, the latch body including a cavity formed around an interface between the latch body and the panel, the cavity being filled with the adhesive so as to bond the latch body to the panel.
13. The method of claim 10, further comprising:
securing a latch guide through a latch guide opening located in the panel.
14. The method of claim 10, further comprising:
coupling a latch mechanism to the panel, wherein the latch mechanism is positioned within the latch body.
15. The method of claim 14 wherein coupling the latch mechanism comprises:
inserting the latch mechanism within the latch body;
inserting a latch guide through a latch guide opening formed through a side surface of the panel; and
fastening the latch guide to the latch mechanism with screws.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
1. A method of extracting an active mineral liquid from granite, comprising:
charging an extracting vessel with finely divided granite at ambient temperature and pressure;
introducing an aqueous ammonia solution with agitating and then diluted sulfuric acid into the vessel;
introducing 98% ethyl alcohol into the vessel at 80 C. so as to elevate the internal pressure of the vessel to 2-3 kgcm2 for facilitating the formation of complexes; and
agitating the resultant reaction mixture for 20-160 minutes at 80 to 85 C. while maintaining the inner pressure of the vessel.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the finely divided granite has an average particle size of from 80 to 100 mesh.
3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the aqueous ammonia solution is about 30% in concentration.
4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the aqueous ammonia solution is about 15 to 20% in concentration.
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the sulfuric acid is 25 to 30% in concentration.
6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the ethyl alcohol is recovered and reused.
