Definitions

  • the invention relates to a parquet floor plank, comprising, on at least two of its opposite sides, means socket in the form, respectively, on one side, a groove delimited by an upper lip and a lower lip and, on the opposite side, a tongue, this one having, on its face lower, mechanical locking means provided for cooperate with additional locking means that has on its upper face oriented on the side of the groove said lower lip.
  • the present invention relates to the field of floor coverings and, in particular, parquet floors, in particular parquet floors laminates. Ultimately, the present invention will find a interest especially in the context of the proposed solutions for assembling parquet boards without glue.
  • these mechanical locking means are on the one hand, in the form of a longitudinal boss at the level of the underside of the tongue.
  • a longitudinal recess is made in the upper face of the lower lip so as to receive the above-mentioned boss.
  • said boss and obviously, substantially defining the mechanical locking means cooperate with each other through contact surfaces in the form of a slope ascending in a direction from the interior to the outside of the groove. Also, through these surfaces of contact and under the effect of a pressure exerted on a blade, even under the influence of its own weight, the tongue has tendency to be pushed back into the groove of the adjacent blade.
  • This contact surface is located at the lip lower, at least partly in the section of this lip lower extending beyond the upper lip.
  • a tongue can be defined so as to allow the joining of two panels while maintaining them substantially in the same plane.
  • the blades comprising such means of interlocking mechanical locking avoid the use of glue for their assembly, it does not prevent that during the installation of a covering soil made up of these planks, certain difficulties can to be met.
  • an interlocking is reversible.
  • the present invention aims to remedy the drawbacks of the state of the art, through a simple solution, also providing a link irreversible between the blades.
  • the invention relates to a floor plank of the type parquet with at least two opposite sides of it interlocking means which consist on one side in a groove bounded by an upper lip and a lower lip, and on the opposite side in a tongue, this one having on its face lower mechanical locking means provided for cooperate with additional locking means that has, on its upper face oriented towards the groove, lower lip, said locking means mechanical being defined, at the level of the lower face of the tongue at the base of the latter in conjunction with the blade, by a longitudinal groove defining a rim of restraint at the back of which is provided capable of engaging a stop retainer on the upper side of the lower lip corresponding to the groove and defining said means of additional locking, characterized in that said locking means consist, in combination, of a lower face of the tongue inclined at an angle determined with respect to the upper face, giving this tongue wedge shape with thickness gradually increasing to its base and that the locking means complementary consist, in combination, of a face upper of the lower lip corresponding to the groove defining an ascending plane of
  • the present invention relates to floorboards of the type floating floors, designed to be fitted together in the others by collage.
  • such a blade 1 comprises, on at least two on its opposite sides 2, 3, nesting means 4 under forms, respectively, on one side 2, a groove 5 delimited by an upper lip 6 and a lower lip 7 and, on the side opposite 3, a tongue 8, the latter being designed to be received in a groove 5 of an adjacent blade 1A as is visible in Figure 2 or in Figures 3, 4 and 5.
  • said tongue 8 has on its face lower 9, mechanical locking means 10 provided to cooperate with complementary locking means 11 that comprises, on its upper face 12 oriented in the direction of the groove 5, the lower lip 7 of the latter.
  • said locking means 10 associated with the tongue 8 consist in that the underside 9 of the latter is inclined at an angle ⁇ determined by relative to the upper face 13, giving this tongue 8 a gradually increasing thickness up to its base 14, in connection with the blade 1. Furthermore, at this base 14 is formed a longitudinal groove 15 extending, by therefore, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tongue 8. This groove 15 comes to define, thus at this face lower 9 of said tongue 8, a retaining rim 16.
  • the upper lip 6 is chamfered, again to guide the nesting of the tongue 8 of an adjacent blade 1 in the groove 5 of a first blade 1A.
  • a retaining edge 16, just like a retaining edge 17 are not not strictly perpendicular to the plane of the blades 1, 1A, but are slightly inclined so as to favor, when the assembly, the engagement of this edge 17 at the rear of this ledge 16. This inclination is determined so that under the effect of pressure exerted vertically on the floor defined by the blades 1, 1A, this edge 17 and the edge of retainer 16 naturally slide over one another, with the consequence of pushing back the tongue 8 of a blade 1 in the groove 5 of the adjacent blade 1A.
  • the present invention also relates to a tool 20 intended to facilitate nesting of two blades.
  • This tool 20 comprises, first of all, a tongue 21 adjusted to the shape of the groove 5, while having a thickness maximum 22 at most equal to the maximum spacing 23 between the lower lip 7 and upper lip 6 of such a groove 5, the spacing 23 being measured, substantially, between the top of the retaining edge 17 and the underside 24 of the lip upper 6.
  • this tongue 21 extends horizontally from a vertical edge 25 of a support block 26. It is located, again, at a height 27 relative to the base 28 of the latter substantially corresponding to the distance 29 separating the plane median of the groove 5 of a blade 1 relative to the face lower 30 of the latter.
  • the support block of the tool 20 On its opposite side 31 to said tongue 21, the support block of the tool 20 has a striking surface 32 capable, under the impact of a striking tool 33, to transmit to this block support 26 an effort with horizontal or parallel components blades 1, 1A to be assembled, and a vertical component intended to guarantee that the support block 26 remains in contact with the ground, under the effect of such a strike.
  • this tool 20 comprises, in parallel and above of the tongue 21, a covering strip 34 intended to extend above the blade 1 in the groove 5 of which is engaged this tongue 21, to push this blade 1 in the direction of another adjacent blade 1A and get their nesting.
  • this covering strip 4 is intended to avoid, under the effect of the impact on the surface of hatch 32, the rotation of the tool 20 about an axis substantially corresponding to the end edge 35 of the lip upper 6 of this groove 5 corresponding to blade 1 receiving the tongue 21 of this tool 20.
  • the latter has the advantage of allowing consider laying the boards 1, 1A in reverse laying process implemented in case of glued floor.
  • the length 1 of the tongue 21, by relation to the transverse edge 25 of the corresponding support block 26 with tool 20, is defined such that this tongue comes cooperate, due to the frustoconical shape of a groove 5, with the internal walls of the latter in order to regrow, through this groove 5, a blade 1 in the direction of a another blade 1A juxtaposed.
