(54) Structure for preventing warping of solid-wood board


(57) Structure (2) for preventing warping of solid-wood board (1,1'), said structure consisting of a slot array fitted in the board and a stiffening element array fitted therein. The slot array consists of two or more successive sub-slots (3,5,7) of a length substantially shorter than the length of the slot array as a whole, in which the stiffening elements (4,6,8) forming the stiffening element array are fitted. Any two successive sub-slots are placed at a distance from each other with respect to their longitudinal centre axis. Moreover, any two successive sub-slots are disposed in an overlapping arrangement relative to each other so that a portion of one sub-slot lies longitudinally side by side with a portion of another sub-slot successive to it.
