Correlation technique and its problem
In order to vertically and perpendicular to the first level direction at edge mechanically engage long side and minor face, it is possible to use
If drying method.A kind of most common method is angle engaging method.Inclined by drift angle（angling）To install long side.Then edge
Panelling is moved to latched position by long side.By horizontal snap lock minor face.Vertical bindiny mechanism is typically joint tongue and groove.
During horizontal displacement, the bar plate benging with locking member, also, when EDGE CONTACT, the batten rebounds, and locking member
Into lock slots and horizontal lock panelling.Due to needing to overcome long side using hammer and percussion block during snap action
Between friction and bending batten, therefore this being connected together is complicated.
Similar locking system can also be with rigid batten manufacture, and they are entered by drift angle inclination-drift angle gradient method
Row connection, wherein minor face and long side are all tilted into latched position.
Recently have been introduced into very effective locked system, it have single flexible on the minor face or
Movable integrated joint tongue, the joint tongue allows only to be installed by drift angle tilting action, and this is commonly referred to " vertical folding
（vertical folding）”.This system is in WO2006/043893（Innovation AB）In have described
It is bright.
As described in Fig. 1 a-1f, several scheme is used on market.1a, 1b are shown with the flexibility extended from edge
The flex tongue 30 of snap-latch piece.Fig. 1 c, 1d show the displaceable tongue with inner side flexible part, and the inner side flexible part can be
