    Abstract: The present invention relates to a panel and to a floor covering including the same. The present invention also relates to other coverings, such as a wall covering, which are constructed by using a plurality of the panels. According to the invention, the panel includes a first and second coupling profile on opposing sides of the panel. The first coupling profile includes an upward tongue that has a curved portion. This upward tongue is spaced apart from a first inner flank of the panel by a clearance that defines an upward groove. According to the invention, an outermost point of the curved portion is positioned further away from the first inner flank than a center point of the upward tongue.

    Abstract: A set of panels including a first panel and a second panel. A first edge of the first panel and a second edge of the second are configured to be locked together and assembled by a vertical displacement of the second edge relative the first edge. The first edge includes a locking element configured to cooperate with a locking groove at the second edge for locking in a horizontal and in the vertical direction. The first edge includes a tongue configured to cooperate with a tongue groove at the second edge for locking in a vertical direction. An upper part of the first edge includes a first guiding surface, and a lower edge of the lower lip includes a second guiding surface. An upper part of the locking element includes a third guiding surface, and a lower edge of the locking groove includes a fourth guiding surface.

    Abstract: A joint for floors that are provided by way of a series of strips, constituted by a single linear bar which is constituted by a central planar body from which a first tab and a second tab, which are elastically deformable, protrude laterally.
    The first tab and the second tab are selectively associable at adapted seats provided in a lower region and longitudinally with respect to the strips and adjacent to the longitudinal perimetric edges thereof.
    Each one of the first tab and the second tab has a first portion, substantially arc-shaped, meant for blending with the planar body, which protrudes toward the outside of the planar body, a second portion, contiguous and blended with the respective first portion, protruding and directed toward the inside of the planar body, and a third portion, contiguous and blended with the second portion, which protrudes toward the outside of the planar body.

    Abstract: Floorboards provided with a mechanical locking system including a locking strip protruding from a first edge of a first floorboard. The locking strip is provided with a locking element configured to cooperate with a locking groove at a lower side of a second edge of a second floorboard for locking the first edge and the second edge in a horizontal direction. The first edge and the second edge are configured to be assembled by a vertical downward motion of the second edge towards the first edge. The second edge is provided with a calibrating groove adjacent the locking groove. Also, a method for producing a mechanical locking system.

    Abstract: A panel (1) having a blade or slab shape, preferably made of a plastic material for producing a floor or wall covering, said panel (1) comprising two pairs of opposite sides defining four edges, two edges of which comprise male coupling means (2), and two edges comprise complementary female coupling means (3), the kinematics of assembling of two adjacent panels (1) being vertical, characterized in that:



    the male coupling means (2) comprise two parallel grooves extending along the edge and opening onto a bottom face of the panel (1), so as to define an internal male groove (2a), an external male groove (2b), an internal male stud (2c), and an external male stud (2d);
    the female coupling means (3) comprise two parallel grooves extending along the edge and opening on an upper face of the panel (1), so as to define a female internal groove (3a), a female external groove (3b), a female internal stud (3c), and a female external stud (3d);
    the male coupling means (2) comprise two lugs (4) and/or notches (5) and the female coupling means (3) comprise two complementary notches (5) and/or lugs (4) forming, after assembly of two adjacent panels (1), stoppers against a vertical displacement between two assembled adjacent panels (1).
