Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connecting element according to Preamble of claim 1 and panels to form a Floor covering according to claim 6.
  • a floor covering can, for example, be joined together by a flat surface formed by essentially rectangular panels become.
  • Such panels can for example be made of hard Floor panels such as laminate panels, veneer parquet, Ready parquet or other be formed.
  • the individual panels traditionally point to the Side grooves respectively. Springs with which they are among themselves can be positively connected.
  • the positive connection the panels can be done essentially in two ways, namely by gluing the panels to the substrate resp. otherwise be connected or by the panels are glued together, preferably via the tongue and groove connection, or by means of positive connection elements be connected to each other. In the second case, when the panels only lying loosely on the surface is also often caused by floating or floating parquet.
  • connection techniques are now known, where with special lanyards the individual panels are held together.
  • a floor covering known which is formed from hard floor panels, which designed as form-fitting interacting coupling parts Have tongues and grooves. These are in the form designed to be integrated at the same time Serve locking means. These springs designed in this way resp. There are grooves in the side edges of the panels to mold only with special tools and must have a high Show degree of accuracy. This makes these areas very sensitive for damage, both during transport and storage as with appropriate care in laying Handling requires.
  • Execution is capable of medium forces perpendicular to the direction of connection of the individual panels, for larger ones Forces, however, run the risk of breaking the connection can be.
  • the object of the present invention was now a To find connecting means for such panels, which easy to manufacture and use, reliable locking perpendicular to the connection edge of adjacent panels enables and at the same time the longitudinal displacement of neighboring Panels are not significantly restricted.
  • the connecting elements designed according to the invention produce yourself very easily and inexpensively.
  • the connecting elements are preferably each on one Pre-assemble the side of a panel at a distance from each other, by moving the side tongues of one side into the corresponding one Groove of the panels is inserted and with the middle Tongue of the connecting element, which with the edge of the bottom the panels are associated.
  • the so prepared Panels can be aligned on the floor and then the adjacent panels, which are on the opposite Side also advantageously already with connecting elements has been equipped via the groove-comb connection add and the tongue respectively. Tongues of the now free end of the connecting element in the groove of these panels latch.
  • connection also allows longitudinal displacement of panels with each other, which by expansion or.shrinking processes are caused without the connection would be destroyed by excessive tension or that tension in which the panels themselves would be built.
  • connection solution presented according to the invention thus allows advantageously a reliable, durable, inexpensive and easy to connect panels to the Formation of a floor covering, in particular a floating one resp. floating flooring.
  • Floor coverings can be joined together in a known manner of panels 1, which with groove 2 and tongue 3 as coupling elements are provided, are formed, as schematically in Figure 1 shown.
  • the panels 1 can either with the underground connected such as glued. Frequently the tongue and groove connection is also achieved by gluing added.
  • the Panels are non-positively connected to each other. This can, for example, only be provided with a glue Tongue and groove connection.
  • a glue Tongue and groove connection there is the risk that different expansion or.shrinking of the individual panels and the associated ones Tension in the connection tears open the glue and with it a disruptive gap is created between the affected panels.
  • a spring 3 resp. a groove 2 'on which a form-fitting, form a longitudinally displaceable connection of the panels.
  • the two tongues 5 and 6 engage in the groove 8 of the panel 1, resp. in the formed between panel 1 and 1 ' Slot 10 a.
  • the tongue 7 engages in the panel 1 ' Groove 9 and creates a transverse to the connecting edge of the two panels 1 and 1 'acting reliable locking.
  • the connecting element 4 is still in supervision in Figure 3 shown, from which the preferred design of the base area 4 'of the connecting element 4 in Y-shape with parallel side edges is clearly evident.
  • the tongue 5 is divided into two Tongues 5 resp. 5 'divided, as well as the tongue 6 in two tongues arranged in a line 6 respectively. 6 '.
  • This arrangement now results in a stable connection with the panel 1, which even with a longitudinal displacement of the two panels 1 and 1 ' cannot tilt with each other. That leaves the tongues 5.5 'resp. 6.6 'resp. 7 always in parallel in the corresponding Grooves 8.9 resp. Gap 10 of the panels 1 respectively. 1 'arranged and just keep this longitudinal shift effective locking of the two panels 1 resp. 1 'perpendicular to their connecting edges.
  • the connecting element 4 is advantageously made of spring steel manufactured, which in particular to the good clamping property of Connecting element 4 contributes.
  • FIG 4 is still the view of a panel 1 with inserted Connection element 4 shown. So prepared can now panels 1 respectively. 1 'simply connected to each other become. The distances between the connecting elements 4 can be corresponding the purpose of the floor to be formed is chosen freely become.
  • the shape of the connecting element 4 differ from the shape shown in the drawing, crucial is the use of three tongues in three arranged in parallel Grooves respectively Slits.
  • slot 10 could also formed by an additional groove in panel 1 be, creating the joint between the two neighboring ones Panels 1 resp. 1 'would remain closed.
