Abstract:
The invention relates to a panel, with a tongue on a longitudinal and a transverse edge, projecting beyond said longitudinal or transverse edge, with essentially parallel tongue surfaces and a groove on the opposing longitudinal or transverse edge, enclosed by lateral panel sections, corresponding to the tongue of an adjacent panel with essentially parallel groove edges. In order to lock two adjacent panels such as to run into each other, a projecting locking element is provided on at least one tongue surface at least in parts and in each region of (a) panel section(s) corresponding to said locking element(s) for connected panels a recess(es) is provided, whereby the region (B) of the tongue with the locking element and/or at least one of the regions of the tongue and the panel sections which are in contact on introducing the tongue into the groove, before the locking element clips into the recess, have an elastic embodiment such that said elasticity is greater than the elasticity of the locking element.
Abstract:
Floorboards for mechanical joining of floors in a herringbone pattern and in parallel rows with horizontal connectors which on the short sides have cooperating locking surfaces which are designed differently from the cooperating locking surfaces on the long sides.
Abstract:
Sectional flooring is provided. The sectional flooring includes first, second, and third floor boards (10,20 and 30) and a coupling member (40) for connecting the first and second floor boards (10 and 20) that are arranged to be adjacent to each other in a longitudinal direction. The coupling member (40) includes a base portion (41) placed over-adjacent first and second floor boards (10 and 20), a pair of side hooks (42) protruding from opposite ends of the base portion (41) toward top surfaces of the first and second floor boards (10 and 20), and a pair of cantilever hooks (43) spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance and protruding from a center of the base portion (41). Each of the cantilever hooks (43) includes a hook step (431). The hook step (431) includes an upper portion formed with an inclined surface inclined at a predetermined lead angle (OL) and a lower portion is formed with an inclined surface inclined at a predetermined return angle (OR).
Abstract:
Floorboards with a surface of flexible fibers for laying a mechanically joined floating floor, and methods for manufacturing and profloorings containing such floorboards.
Abstract:
Floor panels (1, 1′) are provided with a mechanical locking system including a flexible tongue (30) in a sliding groove (40) which during a vertical folding motion is displaced. Moreover, a tongue blank (50), a production method and an installation method are shown.

Abstract:
Floor comprising boards assembled on a framework comprising joists, said boards and joists comprising on each of their lateral sides at least one lateral groove, said boards being connected to the joists by means of coupling members, each coupling member comprising a first wing arranged to engage in the lateral groove in the joist and a second wing arranged to engage in the lateral groove in the board, the first and the second wing being offset height-wise with respect to one another and connected to each other by an upright, said second wing consisting of two parts that extend either side of the upright in a first and second direction substantially opposite to one another, said first wing consisting of two parts that extend either side of the upright in the same plane extending in a third direction substantially perpendicular to the first and the second direction.

Abstract:
A parquet block with a woodwork joint has two parallel abutting sides, a longitudinal notch, a longitudinal tongue, two transverse grooves and two transverse tongues. The longitudinal notch, the longitudinal tongue, the transverse grooves and the transverse tongues on adjacent parquet blocks interlock to hold the parquet blocks securely in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an interlocking unit, comprising one or more tongues and one or more grooves being provided with mechanically integrating locking means, wherein at least a part of said one or more tongues or at least a part of said one or more grooves, or both, is provided a polymer film having a Tg of higher than about −15° C. The present invention further relates to a floor covering, a wall covering, a method of producing an interlocking unit and uses thereof.
