Abstract:
Hard panels formed from a wood-based material and having a decorative layer for floor coverings are provided, at least on two opposite edges, with coupling devices made in one piece with the panels wherein similar panels may be coupled together to form a floor covering, wherein these coupling devices provide for an interlocking in a direction perpendicular to the plane of coupled panels, as well as in a direction perpendicular to the edges concerned and parallel to the plane of coupled panels. These coupling devices are constituted of a tongue and a groove. The top side of the tongue has a protrusion that cooperates with a meshing recess located in the lower side of the upper lip of the groove of the coupling devices, and a portion extending generally parallel with the plane of the panel to form a contact surface cooperating with the lower side of the upper lip of the groove.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to press-fitted decoration tiles installed as finishing materials on an indoor floor surface of a building, an apartment and/or a house is disclosed, wherein a coupling force among decoration tiles is excellent through mutually press-fitted plurality of decoration tiles to prevent the decoration tiles from being distanced and disengaged and to free from adhesive harmful to human body, the press-fitted decoration tiles including a groove unit formed at each one lengthwise marginal circumference and one cross-wise marginal circumference of the rectangular decoration tile, and a lug unit formed at each other lengthwise marginal circumference and other cross-wise marginal circumference of the rectangular decoration tile that face the each one lengthwise marginal circumference and one cross-wise marginal circumference of the rectangular decoration tile.
Abstract:
A composite floor includes a base layer (10), a middle layer (20), a surface layer (30), a bonding member (15), and a releasing member (16). The base layer has a first side (11) provided with a plurality of inserts (111), a second side (12) provided with a plurality of slots (121), a third side (13) provided with a protrusion (131), and a fourth side (14) provided with a recess (141), a lug (144) and a breach (145). Thus, a plurality of composite floors are combined together by an engagement between the inserts and the slots, an engagement between the lug and the breach and an engagement between the protrusion and the recess so that the composite floors are assembled easily and quickly without needing aid of any hand tool.
Abstract:
A locking system for mechanical joining of floorboards constructed from a body, a rear balancing layer and an upper surface layer. A strip, which is integrally formed with the body of the floorboard and which projects from a joint plane and under an adjoining board has a locking element which engages a locking groove in the rear side of the adjoining board. The joint edge provided with the strip is modified with respect to the balancing layer, for example by means of machining of the balancing layer under the strip, in order to prevent deflection of the strip caused by changes in relative humidity. Also, a floorboard provided with such a locking system, as well as a method for making floorboards with such a locking system.
Abstract:
A water resistant floor board comprises a top layer, a tongue connector, a groove connector, a body, and a bottom layer. The body is made from a man-made material and placed between the tongue connector and the groove connector, and the top layer is placed above the body, the tongue connector, and the groove connector. The bottom layer is a moisture resistant aluminum foil covering the body, the tongue connector, and the groove connector. The tongue and groove connectors are made from moisture resistant solid wood, and the body is made from man-made material. The top layer has a moisture resistant coating.

Abstract:
A panelling system preferably for floors is defined by a series of panels each formed of a plurality of tongue and groove main floor plank strips arranged side edge to side edge and cut to a common length with a tongue along one cut edge and a groove along the other. At the edges are attached edge strips formed also from the flooring planks with tongue and groove and fastened together to form a common panel member for transportation and installation. The outwardly facing edge has a tongue or groove for mating with a groove or tongue of a next adjacent panel. The strips are fastened by pins or corrugated plates from the rear or by a bonded sheet material on the rear. The strips may include tongue and groove joints of the snap fastening type where the connection of each strip to the next in the assembled panel can be simply by way of an adhesive tape over the rear surface of the joint.
