Floor covering, consisting of floor elements, which, at least at two opposite sides, comprise a male and a female coupling part (9-10), which allow that two of such floor elements (1) can be interconnected at the respective sides (7-8) at the respective sides (7-8) by pushing one of these floor elements (1) with the associated male coupling part (9), by means of a downward movement (15), home into the female coupling part (10) of the other floor element (1), characterized in that at least one of said coupling parts, either the male coupling part (9) or the female coupling part (10), is made as least partially in a filled synthetic material composite, such as extruded wood.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a floor covering consisting of hard panels (2) which are provided, at least on two opposite edges (3-4, 5-6), with coupling means (7) made in one piece with the panels (2), whereby these coupling means (7) provide for an interlocking in a direction (R1) perpendicular to the plane of the floor covering (1), as well as in a direction (R2) perpendicular to the edges (3-4, 5-6) concerned and parallel to the plane of the floor covering (1). These coupling means (7) comprise a tongue (8) and a groove (9). The lip (11) which is situated on the bottom side of the groove (9) is longer than the lip (10) on the top side. The edge (5) which is provided with the tongue (8) is made flexible.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a locking system for mechanical joining of floorboards (1) constructed from a body (30), a rear balancing layer (34), and an upper surface layer (32). A strip (6), which is integrally formed with the body (30) of the floorboard and which projects from a joint plane (F) and under an adjoining board (1), has a locking element (8) which engages a locking groove (14) in the rear side of the adjoining board. The joint edge provided with the strip (6) is modified with respect to the balancing layer (34), for example by means of machining of the balancing layer under the strip (6), in order to prevent deflection of the strip (6) caused by changes in relative humidity. The invention also relates to a floorboard provided with such a locking system, as well as a method for making floorboards with such a locking system.
Abstract:
A temporary support surface, deck, walkway or roadway that includes a plurality of interlocked and interconnected lightweight universal panel mats (100, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 1100, 1500, 1800, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020) and one or more side ramps (2030) and adapters (2050). Each panel mat is made of plastic or elastomeric material and having a first section that provides a relatively flat, textured or structured top surface to facilitate movement over the upper surface, a second section having geometry that includes a plurality of cells having top surfaces that support the first section and an optional third or bottom surface. The panel mats also have sides (110, 120, 135, 145) that are configured to matingly engage with the sides of similarly configured mats. Also, adapter elements are provided to assist with the installation of the mats. Also, the side ramps and adapters themselves are additional embodiments of the invention.
Abstract:
A lightweight universal panel mat (100, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 1100, 1500, 1800, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020) made of plastic or elastomeric material and having a first section that provides a relatively flat, textured or structured top surface to facilitate movement over the mat and a second section having geometry that includes a plurality of cells having top surfaces that support the first section. The panel mats have first, second, third and fourth sides (110,120,135,145) that are configured to matingly engage or connect to the second, third, fourth and first sides, respectively. The connection can be by insertion or snap-locking of one side to another, or by the use of fastening elements that more securely holds the sides together. Thus, similarly configured panel mats can be connected by interlocking to form a temporary support surface, deck, walkway or roadway. Additional side ramps (2030) and adapters (2050) can be used to facilitate installation of the mats (2005, 2010, 2015, 2020) and access to the upper surfaces of the joined mats.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a building panel (1) including a water resistant core (5) comprising thermoplastic material 21 and a surface layer (4) comprising thermosetting resins. Production methods to form a board material (1') with a dry blend of thermoplastic particles 21a in powder form and fillers in powder form and to apply a surface layer (4) with a hot-hot lamination process to a core (5) comprising such board material are also described.
Abstract:
Building panels each comprise an upper first element 31of solid wood fixed to a lower second element 32 of solid wood. The first and the lower second element are of different wood species. The building panels are provided with a mechanical locking system, which comprises a locking strip 6, at a first edge 5b of a first building panel 1.The locking strip provided with a locking element 8 configured to cooperate with a locking groove 14, at a second edge 5a of a second building panel 1a for horizontal locking of the first and the second building panels when a tension force is applied. The fibre direction FD of the first and the lower secondelements31, 32 is essentially along the first and the second edges 5b, 5a. The lower second element 32 has about the same or higher moisture shrinkage value than the first element. The locking strip comprises material of the lower second element (32).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to building panels 1, 1' provided with a mechanical locking system including a tongue 30, at an edge of a first panel 1, cooperating with a tongue groove 20, at an edge of an adjacent second panel 1', for vertical locking of the building panels. The edge of the first panel is provided with a displacement groove 60, which is downwardly open, and includes an inner wall 61, an outer wall 62, and an upper wall 67. The tongue 30 is formed out of the edge of the first panel. A resilient and displaceable and part 66 of the tongue 30 is displaceable into the displacement groove 60.
