Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly for joining floor coverings, in particular to an assembly for joining first and second panels of floor covering and for joining first and second panels of floor covering of different heights.
  • a flat covering strip of aluminium or extruded plastic is attached over the top of the expansion joint to cover the gap.
  • Several methods of attaching the covering strip are known, including the use of regularly spaced threaded screw fixings or hinged studs.
  • hinged studs have a tendency to fail over a period of time thereby compromising the integrity of the attachment between the flat covering strip and the expansion joint.
  • EP1020590B1 discloses an assembly for joining floor coverings in conformity with the preamble of claim 1.
  • This assembly comprises: a base strip having a flat surface anchored to the floor and having a basically U-shaped cavity; and a cover strip covering said base strip and fastened to it by a means of an intermediary strip slidingly coupled to the cover strip through an undercut cavity on the cover strip, that is fastened to a jut on the intermediary strip.
  • a drawback of this known assembly is that it is not suitable for joining floor coverings having a large difference in thickness.
  • the present invention attempts to overcome at least in part some of the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • the assembly 10 includes a base plate member 20, a continuous linking member 30, and a covering strip 40.
  • the base plate member 20 is an elongate extrusion, generally formed from a metallic alloy such as aluminium, comprising a substantially horizontal base portion 22 and a U-shaped channel portion 24.
  • the U-shaped channel portion 24 defines an elongate recess 21 disposed at an end 23 of the base portion 22.
  • the U-shaped channel portion 24 has a distal side 26 and a proximal side 28.
  • An inner surface of distal and proximal sides 26, 28 of the U-shaped channel portion 24 is provided with a plurality of narrow serrations 29 protruding into the elongate recess 21.
  • the base plate member 20 is arranged in use to be disposed between respective facing edges 52, 62 of a first panel 50 of a first floor covering and a second panel 60 of a second floor covering, wherein the first and second floor coverings may be formed from the same or different materials.
  • first and second panels 50, 60 are substantially the same thickness.
  • the second panel 60 is thicker than the first panel 50.
  • a leading portion of the first panel 50 is disposed to rest upon the base portion 22 of the base plate member 20 such that the facing edge 52 of the first panel 50 abuts or is disposed adjacent to the proximal side 28 of the U-shaped channel portion 24, whilst the facing edge 62 of the second panel 60 abuts the distal side 26 of the U-shaped channel portion 24, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the base portion 22 may be provided with a plurality of upwardly extending vertical spikes to fixedly engage the first panel 50 to the base portion 22.
  • the height of the distal and proximal sides 26, 28 of_the U-shaped channel portion 24 ranges between 6 - 8 mm, which generally conforms to the thickness of many floor coverings, such as tiles, laminates, vinyl, woven floor coverings, such as sisal or coir, and carpets.
  • a compressible base plate member 120 as shown in Figure 5 , may be used.
  • the compressible base plate member 120 is an elongate extrusion, generally formed from a metallic alloy such as aluminium, comprising a substantially horizontal base portion 22', a U-shaped channel portion 24', defining an elongate recess 21', and a compressible portion 130 disposed at an end 23' of the base portion 22'.
  • the U-shaped channel portion 24' has a distal side 26' and a proximal side 28'.
  • An inner surface of distal and proximal sides 26', 28' of the U-shaped channel portion 24' is provided with a plurality of serrations 29' protruding into the elongate recess 21'.
  • the U-shaped channel portion 24' is spaced apart from and above the end 23' of the base portion 22', the arrangement being such that the distal side 26' is in substantially vertical alignment with the end 23 of the base portion 22'.
  • the compressible portion 130 includes a first vertical portion 132 upwardly depending from the end 23' of the base portion 22' and in substantially vertical alignment with the distal side 26' of the U-shaped channel portion 24', a second vertical portion 134 downwardly depending from the U-shaped channel portion 24' and equidistantly spaced from the distal and proximal sides 26', 28' of the U-shaped channel portion 24', and a web member 136 interconnecting an uppermost end 133 of the first vertical portion 132 and a lowermost end 135 of the second vertical portion 134 Typically, the web member 136 is diagonally disposed between the uppermost end 133 of the first vertical portion 132 and the lowermost end 135 of the second vertical portion as the uppermost end 133 of the first vertical portion 132 is generally spaced apart from and located lower than the lowermost end 135 of the second vertical portion 134.
  • the compressible base plate member 120 can alternatively be employed for use with floor coverings having a thickness greater than 8 mm.
  • a first juncture 140 between the first vertical portion 132 and the web member 136 is provided with a first recess 137 and a second juncture 150 between the second vertical portion 134 and the web member 136 is provided with a second recess 139.
  • Each of the first and second recesses 137, 139 facilitates a hinging movement between the first vertical portion 132 and the web member 136 at the first juncture 140 and a hinging movement between the second vertical portion 134 and the web member 136 at the second juncture 150, respectively, thereby decreasing respective angles therebetween when compressive pressure is applied from the U-shaped channel portion 24'.
  • One of the significant advantages of the inherent ability to compress the U-shaped channel portion 24' towards the base portion 22' in the compressible base plate member 120 is that the effective height of the distal and proximal sides 126, 128 of the compressible base plate member 220 can be adjusted, as described above, for use with floor coverings of varying thicknesses. Furthermore, the U-shaped channel portion 24' may also be tilted from the vertical to account for differences in thickness between the first and second panels 50, 60 of first and second floor coverings.
  • the compressible base plate member 120 is arranged in use to be disposed between respective facing edges 52, 62 of a first panel 50 of a first floor covering and a second panel 60 of a second floor covering.
  • a leading portion of the first panel 50 is disposed to rest upon the base portion 22' of the compressible base plate member 120 such that the facing edge 52 of the first panel 50 abuts the proximal side 128 of compressible base plate member 120, whilst the facing edge 62 of the second panel 60 abuts the distal side 126 of the compressible base plate member 120.
  • the base portion 22' may be provided with a plurality of upwardly extending vertical spikes to fixedly engage the first panel 50 to the base portion 22'.

  • the second channel portion 46 is disposed adjacent to the first channel portion 44 such that the second channel portion 46 is disposed asymmetrically between side edges of the upper portion, i.e. nearer to one of the side edges 48.
  • the first and second channel portions 44, 46 are formed from three elongate lugs downwardly depending from the underside 41 of the upper portion 42 of the covering strip 40.
  • the three elongate lugs comprise a pair of opposing elongate lugs 5, 7 and an intermediate elongate lug 9 that is equidistantly spaced between the opposing elongate lugs 5, 7.
  • the intermediate elongate lug 9 has a substantially triangular cross-section, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 , wherein an apex 3 of the triangular cross-section is conjoined with the underside 41 of the covering strip 40.
  • the opposing elongate lugs 5, 7 each have a parallelogram-shaped cross-section, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 , wherein the opposing elongate lugs 5, 7 are inclined towards the intermediate elongate lug 9.
  • the intermediate elongate lug 9 and adjacent elongate lug 5 define the first channel portion 44
  • the intermediate elongate lug 9 and adjacent elongate lug 7 define the second channel portion 46.
