Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flooring panel or wall panel with lockings means in the form of a tongue and a groove, provided with complementary snap-action means.
  • laminated floor finishes have become increasingly popular in replacing parquet floors and wall-to-wall carpeting.
  • a decorative thermosetting laminate is first produced.
  • This laminate usually consists of a base layer of paper sheets, impregnated with phenol-formaldehyde resin, and a decorative surface layer comprising a decor paper sheet impregnated with melamine formaldehyde resin.
  • the laminate is produced by compressing the various layers at a high pressure and an elevated temperature.
  • the laminate thus obtained may then be bonded to a backing, for example of particle board, or used as such without a backing, it then be termed a compact laminate.
  • the resulting laminated panel of large surface area is then sawn up into a number of floor boards each provided with tongues and grooves at their long and short sides.
  • These floor boards may differ in thickness and size, they more particularly being square or rectangular.
  • a popular length is 120 cm, and a popular width is approx. 20 cm.
  • Such laminated floor finishes may also be used to top existing floor material.
  • DE 42 42 530 Al describes a building element for walls or building floors and roofing which comprises at its longitudinal edge a tongue-like element and the opposing longitudinal edge a groove-like molding.
  • the tongue-like element is configured strongly rounded suitable for insertion by jiggling it into the groove-like opening.
  • Provided on one side of the tongue-like element are two ribs suitable for snap-action jointing a single groove of an adjoining building element.
  • a wall panel or flooring panel of the aforementioned kind is known from WO 96/27721 of the present applicant.
  • the flooring panel described therein comprises locking means in the form of tongue and groove.
  • the groove comprises an upper cheek adjoiningly arranged above and at the upper side of the groove and ending at a distal edge of said upper cheek of the groove, and a lower cheek adjoiningly arranged below and at the lower side of said groove and ending at a distal edge of the groove's lower cheek, said tongue and said groove being provided with complementary snap action means comprising protuberances and complementary recesses.
  • the one panel with its tongue is inserted into the groove of the adjoining panel, the so-called cheeks defining the groove deforming at least temporarily to permit entry of the rib formed on the tongue and regaining their original shape as soon as each rib has snapped into the corresponding groove.
  • the so-called cheeks defining the groove deforming at least temporarily to permit entry of the rib formed on the tongue and regaining their original shape as soon as each rib has snapped into the corresponding groove.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing a flooring panel or wall panel in which the snap-action or locking means are improved to facilitate laying and joining the panels whilst always attaining and maintaining a particularly firm joint between adjoining panels.
  • the tongue of the panel in accordance with the invention too is provided with locking means.
  • the tongue and the groove each comprise complementary snap-action or locking means.
  • both the tongue and the groove feature snap-action means in the form of ribs.
  • the corresponding other element, i. e. either the tongue or the groove comprises a complementary snap-action means, i. e. a groove configured at a suitable location for each rib provided.
  • the tongue is provided with ribs. More particularly the ribs are configured on both the upper and lower side of the tongue.
  • Both the upper and lower side of the tongue is provided with a locking means for a flooring panel or wall panel in accordance with the invention, complementary locking means being provided correspondingly on the surface area defining the tongue both upper and lower.
  • these locking means are arranged staggered in the insertion direction. Insertion direction in this context is understood to be the direction in which the tongue is inserted into the groove to join two adjoining panels to each other. The insertion direction thus extends perpendicular to the edge as observed of the panel. Staggering in the insertion direction means that one of the locking means is configured more distant from the edge of the panel than the other, in other words one of the locking means extends parallel to the edge of the panel at a greater distance away from this edge than the other locking means.
  • two or more locking means may be provided at the upper and/or lower side of the tongue and that corresponding locking means are configured on the groove.
  • the staggered arrangement as described applies to at least one of the locking means provided at the side comprising more than one locking means.
  • the tongue of the panel in accordance with the invention unlike the tongue-like element pertinent to DE 42 42 530 Al , is configured with practically straight surface areas, i. e. bevels or roundings existing possibly only at the edges. Furthermore, unlike the connecting contour as it reads from the cited disclosure, a defined protuberance or a defined rib is provided on both sides of the tongue. In other words, a snap-acting or locking means, ensuring locking in the insertion direction, is not formed by a special contour of the tongue itself. In conclusion, it is to be noted that in accordance with the invention all snap-acting means comprise complementary snap-acting means, so that when two ribs are provided, two corresponding grooves are also provided.
  • the panel in accordance with the invention preferably has four sides and is more particularly rectangular or square: In this case two sides of the panel comprise tongues and two sides of the panel comprise grooves. It is understood that, as preferred, the panels may be configured identical and can be joined to each other in this way when the opposite side in each case is provided tongued and grooved so that two adjoining sides, in the case of a rectangular panel a short and a long side, are provided with tongues, and the two other sides with the complementary configured grooves.
  • the tongue comprises as a locking means at least one protuberance, more particularly a rib and that the locking means cooperating therewith in the groove are recesses, more particularly snap-action or locking grooves.
  • a particularly firm joint is achieved by two protuberances configured on the upper side of the tongue and a protuberance as well as corresponding recesses or grooves in the groove configured on the lower side.
  • the tongue comprises at the upper side a protuberance, preferably a rib and at the lower side two protuberances or ribs, and the groove is provided with corresponding snap-action grooves.
  • Damage to the cheeks defining the groove can be prevented when their edges end substantially at the same location, i. e. when, in other words, the edge of the upper cheek of the groove or lip is arranged substantially exactly over the edge of the lower cheek of the groove or lip.
  • the lower cheek of the groove or lip preferably protrudes distally beyond the distal edge of the upper cheek of the groove or lip.
  • the recess or groove in the lower cheek of the groove or lip is provided at a location totally, or at least substantially, within the distal edge of the upper lip or cheek of the groove.
  • another preferred embodiment consists of a recess or groove being provided in the lower cheek of the groove at a location which is totally on the other side of the distal edge of the upper cheek of the groove, and the other recess or groove is provided at a location which is totally within the distal edge of the upper cheek of the groove.
  • Another preferred embodiment which experience has shown to be of advantage as regards the strength of the joint consists of the edge of the upper cheek of the groove being located substantially precisely above the edge of the lower cheek of the groove, the tongue being provided at both its upper side and lower side with a protuberance and the recess in the lower cheek of the groove being provided at a location which is totally within the distal edge of the upper cheek of the groove.
  • another embodiment is of advantage in which the edge of the lower cheek of the groove protrudes distally beyond the distal edge of the upper cheek of the groove, the tongue being provided on both its upper and lower side with a protuberance and the recess being provided in the lower cheek of the groove at a location which is totally, or at least partly, on the other side of the distal edge of the upper cheek of the groove.
  • a firm joint is also obtainable - in the same case as described above - by providing the recess in the lower cheek of the groove at a location which is totally, or substantially totally, within the distal edge of the upper cheek of the groove.
  • a structure comprising a base layer of particle board, medium or high density fiber board or plastics topped by a decor finish of paint or a thermoplastics, veneer or one or more sheets of paper impregnated with a thermosetting resin or laminate is of particular advantage.
  • the tongue and the groove as well as the snap-action means integrally with the base layer, in other words to mill the locking contours from the base layer.
  • good performance of this embodiment is achievable by impregnating or coating the complete base layer or at least the side edges of the panel with a wax, an oil or a resin.
  • a front surface area of the tongue with its lower side tapered which may also be provided supplementary for the upper edge of the tongue.
  • the edges of the cheeks defining the groove may be configured bevelled or rounded.
  • One particularly advantageous feature applicable to the flooring panel or wall panel in accordance with the invention consists of the lower cheek of the groove being thinner than its upper cheek so that the lower cheek is more pliant than the upper cheek and is deformed to a greater extent than the upper cheek of the groove when joining two adjoining panels.
  • the upper cheek of the groove should not deform at all to eliminate the risk of steps forming when joining the panels together. Instead only the lower cheek of the groove should slightly deform on joining before snapping back into place for a secure lock.
  • the comparatively thick and thus comparatively stiff upper cheek of the groove or lip also contributes towards maintaining the floor surface area flat once the panels have been joined and when accessed.
  • Fig. 1 there is illustrated a plan view of the flooring panel or wall panel in accordance with the invention in which it is to be noted that to simplify the illustration only a few corner portions of the panel 20 are shown and that the panel may be dimensioned optionally between these corner portions as shown, it more particularly being shaped either square or rectangular.
  • Configured at the (longer) longitudinal edges of the embodiment of the panel 20 as shown is on the one side (on the left in Fig. 1 ) a tongue 1 and on the opposite side a groove.
  • a tongue 1 is configured with a groove provided on the opposite short side.
  • Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a preferred embodiment in which - as evident from Fig. 2 for example - the lower cheek of the groove protrudes beyond the edge of the upper cheek of the groove, this being the reason why two lines are evident at the top right-hand edge of the illustration in Fig. 1 , although, of course, only one line would be present for example in the case of the embodiment as shown in Fig. 5 since in this case the two cheeks of the groove end substantially at the same level.
  • the protruding tongue 1 comprises at both its upper side and lower side a protuberance or rib 11 and 12 respectively.
  • the two ribs are configured staggered, i.e. differingly spaced away from the edge 22 of the tongue 1.
  • a groove 2 is configured in the opposite side defined by two cheeks or lips 3 and 5 respectively.
  • Snap-action grooves 9 and 10 respectively are provided in each of the two lips 3, 5. The position of these snap-action or locking grooves 9, 10 is complementary to the position of the ribs 11 and 12 on the upper side 7 and lower side 8 of the tongue 1 to thus enable two panels of the same kind to be locked together.
  • the locking action results from, for example, the spacing between the edge 24 of the panel 20 above the tongue 1 and the rear flank 26 of the rib 11 being slightly smaller than the spacing between the front edge 4 of the upper cheek 3 of the groove and the front flank 28 of the locking groove 9.
  • the relationships for the lower rib and the corresponding groove may be set such that, here too, a firm snap-action joint materializes to lock two adjoining panels to each other.
  • the contour as described is configured preferably on all opposite sides, i.e. on each longitudinal side and short side to ensure locking at all edges.
  • the tongue 1 on each panel 20 is inserted into the groove of an adjoining panel until the ribs 11, 12 snap into place in the grooves 9, 10. More particularly a firm joint, in which also any tendency of the two adjoining panels to tilt is effectively prevented, is achieved in that to a certain extent to the front of the rear lock in the form of the rib 12 and groove 10 a further lock in the form of the rib 11 in the groove 9 is provided which enhances stability, especially in preventing tilting.
  • Fig. 3 there is illustrated how this effect is also achieved in the embodiment as shown therein, in which two ribs 12 are provided on the lower side of the tongue 1, and the lower cheek 5 of the groove correspondingly features two locking grooves 10.
  • at least one of the two ribs, namely the rear rib 12, is staggered relative to the upper rib 11 to achieve the advantages in accordance with the invention.
  • the embodiment as shown in Fig. 3 further indicates how the lower cheek 5 of the groove is significantly thinner than the upper cheek 3 thereof so that when locking two panels together, it is substantially only the lower cheek 5 that is deformed with no risk of the upper cheek 3 being deformed. This additionally ensures a stable surface of the floor finish when layed.
  • a small protuberance or a nose 30 is configured on the panel above the tongue 1 to ensure a defined contact of the upper edge of the panel 20 with the upper edge of an adjoining panel to thus effectively prevent gaps forming whilst achieving a particularly rugged joint. It is to be noted that the nose 30 may be provided alternatively or additionally at the front edge 4 on the groove side.
  • the embodiment as shown in Fig. 4 agrees with the embodiment as shown in Fig. 3 .
  • a rib 11 and 12 respectively is provided at the upper and lower side of the tongue 1, here, however, more staggered than in the embodiment as shown in Fig. 2 so that the snap-action groove 10 configured in the lower cheek 5 of the groove is located totally on the other side of the front edge 4 of the upper cheek 3 of the groove.
  • Fig. 5 there is illustrated an embodiment in which this applies likewise, in materializing substantially from the embodiment as shown in Fig. 4 , in that in addition to the lower rib 12, staggered relatively far inwards, an additional, lower rib 12' is provided which is likewise configured staggered from the upper rib 11.
  • the corresponding grooves 10, 10' are located at complementary locations. More particularly, in the embodiment as shown, both locking grooves 10, 10' are configured on the far side of the front or distal edge 4 of the upper cheek 3 of the groove.
  • Fig. 6 there is illustrated an embodiment which agrees to a major extent with that as shown in Fig. 2 , except that, here too, a nose 30 is configured.
  • the lower side 8 of the tongue 1 is provided in the front portion with a bevel 32 to facilitate inserting the tongue 1 into the groove 2.
  • the walls defining the two locking grooves 9 and 10 are configured vertical or near vertical. It is this configuration together with the slight inclination of the flanks of the ribs 11 and 12 that facilitates jiggling two panels relative to each other when joined which may be of advantage when dismantling the panels for installation in another room.
  • This facility is further enhanced by the bevel 32 provided on the tongue 1 as well as by the rounded configuration 34 of each inner edge of the cheeks 3 and 5 of the groove.
  • Fig. 7 there is illustrated yet another embodiment of the panel in which the front edge 4 of the upper cheek 3 of the groove is located substantially precisely above the front edge 6 of the lower cheek 5 of the groove.
  • bevels 38 which as regards their function correspond to that of the roundings 34 in the embodiment as shown in Fig. 6 , this more particularly facilitating inserting the tongue 1 into the groove 2 and dismantling two panels joined to each other.
  • the tongue 1 is provided with a bevel 32 not only at its lower side 8 but also by its upper side 7 featuring a somewhat less steeper bevel 32.
  • flanks too of the ribs 11 and 12 are bevelled. More particularly the front flanks are provided with a comparatively flat bevel 40 to facilitate their insertion into the grooves 9 and 10 respectively.
  • the bevel at the rear flank is configured as the somewhat steeper bevel 42 and may be more particularly complementary to a corresponding bevel 44 at the front flank of the corresponding grooves 9, 10.
  • the locking means in the form of ribs and grooves are likewise staggered in this case which is of advantage for a firm joint.
  • Fig. 8 there is illustrated an embodiment materializing substantially from the embodiment as shown in Fig. 7 , except that in this case a nose 30 is provided only at the groove side.
  • a second snap-action rib 11' is provided at the upper side of the tongue 1 configured substantially the same as the first upper snap-action rib 11.
  • the bevel 40 of the snap-action rib 11' translates into a bevel provided in all at the tongue 1. Accordingly, it could be said as regards the embodiment as shown in Fig. 1 that at the upper side of the tongue 1 two snap-action grooves 46, 46 'are provided instead of locking ribs 11, 11'.
  • the locking contour at the groove side could be viewed as being two locking ribs 48, 48' instead of two locking grooves 9, 9', for snap-action insertion into the locking grooves 46, 46' of the tongue 1.
  • looking at it in this way changes nothing to the fact that complete snap-action or locking means are provided at the groove 2 and tongue 1, these means being configured at the upper side so that they are staggered relative to the locking rib 12 and the corresponding locking groove 10 to result in a strong joint.
  • Fig. 9 there is illustrated the same aspect as selected in Fig. 2 , by which the lower cheek 5 of the groove extends beyond the distal edge 4 of the upper check 3 of the groove. This permits achieving a greater stagger of the locking grooves 9 and 10 and correspondingly of the locking ribs 11 and 12, too.
  • the remaining configuration of the locking ribs and grooves corresponds substantially to that as shown in Fig. 7 , except that the tongue 1 is configured at its upper edge not bevelled, but rounded.
  • Fig. 10 there is illustrated an embodiment according to the invention which combines the aspects of the embodiments as shown in Figs. 8 and 9 . More particularly; the lower cheek 5 of the groove extends beyond the front edge 4 of the upper cheek 3 of the groove. Configured in the upper cheek 3 of the groove are two locking grooves 9, 9', both of which are staggered relative to the lower locking groove 10. A corresponding configuration materializes for the locking ribs 11, 11' and 12 at the tongue 1. In this embodiment too, a particularly firm joint is achievable between adjoining panels.
  • a base layer 13 Integrally configured in a base layer 13 are the locking contours in the form of the tongue 1 and groove 2, it being on the base layer 13 that a decorative surface 14 is applied for which the materials as cited above may be selected.
