Abstract:
A flooring system comprises a plurality of floor panels (1,1") which are mechanically connectable to each other along one pair of adjacent edges, said floor panels comprising a tongue (10) and a groove (9), formed in one piece with the panels for mechanically locking together said one pair of adjacent edges at right angles to the principal plane of the panels, thereby forming a vertical mechanical connections (D1) between the panels and a first locking element (8) at one first edge formed in one piece with the panel and a second locking element (15), formed of a separate material connected to the panel, said first and second locking elements form a mechanical connection locking the panels to each other horizontally parallel to the principal plane and at right angles to the joint edges (D2) whereby said floor panels (1,1') can be mechanically joined by displacement of said two panels horizontally towards each other, while the first locking element (8) and the second locking element (15) are displaced first vertically away from each other and than vertically towards each other. The second locking element (15) is made of a sheet shaped material which has a higher density than the material of the first locking element. The second locking element has a first (40) and a second (41) surface and an edge portion (42) between the first (40) and second (41) surfaces, whereby the edge portion (42) forms at least a part of a second locking surface (22) which is in contact with a first locking surface (20) of the first locking element and prevents horizontal separation of the panels.

PURPOSE: A printed tile for decorating a prefabricated bottom is provided to easily perform a maintenance work by easily assembling and disassembling the tiles and to improve workability and construction performance. CONSTITUTION: A printed tile for decorating a prefabricated bottom is composed as follows. A design printed sheet(10) is attached on the upper surface(100) of the tile. Fitting protrusions(200) and fitting grooves(300) are formed in all sides of the tile. The inner and outer surfaces in which the fitting protrusions and the fitting grooves are coupled are inclined. A square pyramid shaped groove is formed on the lower surface of the tile. The printed tile is made of PVC, stone powder, and nano-silver.

PURPOSE: A solid wood flooring unit structure of a self-locking system of surface adhesion type, from which a sub-floor is removed, and a construction method of a solid wood flooring unit using the same are provided to support the vertical load which is applied on solid wood flooring and the horizontal load by the compression and expansion of the solid. CONSTITUTION: A solid wood flooring unit structure of a self-locking system of surface adhesion type comprises an upper member, an adhesive member(130), and a lower member. The upper member is the solid wood flooring. The upper member is integrally adhered on a P-area and S-area of the lower member with the adhesive member. The lower member is an HDPE fastening sheet(120). The adhesive member spreads on the rear side of the P area of the lower member. A release paper is attached to top of the adhesive member.
Abstract:
A method to disconnect floor panels with a horizontal movement opposite to the snapping action, wherein said method comprises the steps of: inserting a tool (16) in a mechanical locking system comprising two locking elements (8,15) which mechanically locks two adjacent edges of two panels (1,1') in a horizontal direction (D2); separating vertically the two locking elements with the tool; and displacing the edges horizontally away from each other to unlock the mechanical locking system.
Abstract:
A flooring system comprises a plurality of floor panels which are mechanically connectable to each other along one pair of adjacent joint edges. Each floor panel is provided with a first groove formed in one piece with the panel at a first joint edge and a flexible tongue (30) connected to a second groove at a second opposite joint edge for mechanically locking together said adjacent joint edges at right angles to the principal plane of the panels, thereby forming a vertical mechanical connections between the panels. The panels are further provided with a locking element at one of said first and second joint edges and a locking groove at an opposite first or second joint edge, for mechanically locking together said adjacent joint edges parallel to the principal plane and at right angles to the joint edges, the locking groove being open towards a rear side of the panel and the locking elements protrudes vertically from a locking strip. The flexible tongue (30) is flexible and resilient such that two panels can be mechanically joined by displacement of said two panels vertically towards each other, while at least a part of the flexible tongue (30) at said second opposite joint edge is resiliently displaced horizontally, until said adjacent edges of the two panels are brought into engagement with each other horizontally, the flexible tongue (30) at said second opposite joint edge is then displaced towards its initial position and against a wall of the first groove at said first joint edge. The flexible tongue is an extruded section with a groove portion located in the second groove and a projecting portion located outside the second groove, and said groove portion is resilient and punched.
