Abstract:
A panel interconnectable with like panels for use in forming a sports surface has a substantially rectangular and planar member and an edge connector at at least one set of opposite edges including a first locking member extending from the lower surface of the panel at one edge and having a groove extending inwards from the end thereof and towards the one edge and terminating below the upper surface. A second locking member extending from the upper surface of the panel at the other edge, has a projection configured to engage in the groove to mate with the first locking member at the one edge of an adjacent panel to align the upper and lower surfaces of the panels. A plurality of these panels are advantageously assembled by the method according to the present invention to form a sports surface.

Abstract:
Method for manufacturing floor panels, wherein the method comprises at least the following steps: - transporting panels (1) through a processing machine (2) by means of at least a conveyor chain (84) formed by links (85); - realizing profiled edge portions, while the panels (1), by means of the conveyor chain (84) are moved with their edge regions (5A-5B) to be profiled along cutting tools (6);
characterized in that at least a combination of the following two techniques is employed: - the technique where the conveyor chain (84), at least over a portion of its path, is transported along a guiding element (88) and is pressed by means of magnetic forces against the guiding element (88); - the technique where the panels (1) are laterally guided by means of a guiding portion (26) that engages in a guiding groove (22) provided in the panels (1).
Abstract:
Vertically joined flooring material comprising floor boards (1), which floor boards (1) are provided with edges (2) which are provided with a groove (2'), a lower side (5) and a decorative top surface (3). The floor boards (1) are intended to be joined by means of separate joining profiles (10). All edges (2) are provided with one groove (4) each, which grooves (4) are arranged parallel to its respective edge (2). The joining profiles (10) are provided with lips (11) arranged in pairs, which lips (11) each are intended to be received by the groove (4) of a floor board (1) guiding and fixing adjacent floor boards (1) horizontally. The joining profile (10) is provided with a central cheek section (13) which is comprised by a first and a second independently resilient cheek (13' and 13'' respectively). The cheek (13' and 13'' respectively) are provided with one tongue (14' and 14'' respectively) each whereby the tongues (14' and 14'' respectively) are intended to be received by one groove (2') each so that adjacent floor boards (1) are guided in a vertical direction.

Flooring material including floor boards (1) with an essentially square, rectangular or rhomboidal shape. The floor boards (1) are provided with edges (2), a horizontal lower side (5) and a horizontal decorative upper surface (3). The floor boards (1) are provided with lower joining lips (10) at two adjacent edges (2) while the two remaining edges (2) are provided with upper joining lips (20). The lower joining lips (10) are provided essentially vertical lower lip surfaces (11) arranged parallel to the closest edge (2). The lower lip surfaces (11) are intended to interact with mainly vertical upper lip surfaces (21) arranged on the upper joining lips (20). Two joined adjacent floor boards (1) are hereby locked together in a horizontal direction. The joining lips (10 and 20 respectively) are furthermore provided with one or more heels (31) intended to snap join with recesses (32) adapted thereto which, by being provided with essentially horizontal locking surfaces, limits vertical movement between two joined adjacent floor boards (1).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Paneel (1) mit Verbindungsmitteln (3, 4, 7, 9), die eine formschlüssige Verbindung mit einem weiteren Paneel (2) ermöglichen. Ein Paneel (1) umfasst als Verbindungsmittel seitlich eine durch zwei starre Flanken gebildete Nut (3). Eine der beiden starren Flanken (6) ist länger als die andere. Die längere starre Flanke (6) weist eine Ausnehmung (7) auf. Das andere Paneel umfasst seitlich eine Feder (4). Die Feder (4) weist an einer Unter- oder Oberseite eine Nase (9) auf. Die Nase (9) und die Ausnehmung (7) sind so angeordnet, dass die Nase (9) in die Ausnehmung (7) einzurasten vermag. Die die Nase aufweisende Seite der Feder weist eine Schräge (12) auf, so dass im zusammengefügten Zustand der beiden Paneele durch die Schräge (12) ein Abstand zwischen der Schräge (12) und der längeren starren Flanke (6) verbleibt. Ferner sind an wenigstens einer Seite mehrere Nasen vorgesehen. Die beiden Paneele können ohne Kraftaufwand leimlos miteinander verbunden werden.
