Definitions

  • the invention relates to a panel for use in an assembly of panels attached to each other to form a covering, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a method of making such panels.
  • Such panels are known in various embodiments, for example in the form of laminate floor panels. Such panels are made on a wood basis and have a decorating layer mostly to imitate natural panels made from wood or other natural materials.
  • WO 2006/066776 relates to a laminate floor panel which comprises a decor representing a wood pattern.
  • the panel comprises a sloping edge portion of which the shape and/or angle can alter in function of the longitudinal direction of the edge.
  • WO 2006/031169 is related to a decorative laminate board having edges, a decorative upper layer and a rear layer. Predetermined portions of the decorative upper layer is provided with an embossed surface through means of a laser beam.
  • WO 03/078761 relates to floorboards which consist of a core and a surface layer and are provided with decorative joint edges which are formed by removing the surface layer.
  • the invention provides a panel which has the feature according to the characterising portion of claim 1.
  • the lowered part of the panel according to claim 1 has a non-planar structure along the edge, which improves the natural appearance of a panel.
  • the advantage is that the panels according to the invention provide a better imitation of natural panels than those having a flat lowered part.
  • the cross-section of the lowered part may vary along the length of the edge in an irregular, preferably random manner, for example a rustical design. This improves the natural appearance of a panel still further.
  • the lowered part may have an extreme edge which is intended to be positioned against an extreme edge of an adjacent panel, which extreme edge has a constant position within each cross-section.
  • the extreme edge of each of the panels in an assembly of panels can be coupled to each other to form the covering such that the covering is sealed between adjacent panels at the extreme edge. This prevents leakage of water or the like between panels.
  • this feature has the advantage that it avoids exposing of a portion of the
  • edge of the panel if the extreme edge of adjacent panels had varying positions at different locations with respect to each other along the edge.
  • the upper surface of the panel may be provided with a surface decoration, whereas the lowered part may be provided with a surface finishing. This provides the opportunity to apply the production method of providing the surface decoration to the panel such as known in the art, whereas the lowered part can be finished in a separate process.
  • a panel for use in an assembly of panels attached to each other to form a covering comprises an upper surface and a lower surface each extending within a different main plain, and at least an edge between these surfaces comprising coupling means to couple the panel to coupling means of another panel, wherein the upper surface includes a lowered part at said edge of the panel, the lowered part crossing the main plain of the upper surface along a second line and crossing an extreme edge of the panel which is intended to be positioned against an extreme edge of an adjacent panel along a third line, wherein the extent of the second line deviates from the extent of the third line.
  • the second line between the upper surface and the lowered part may be used to improve the natural appearance of a panel.
  • the invention also provides a method of making a panel for use in a covering, as defined in claim 7.
  • This method may provide panels having the advantages as mentioned hereinbefore.
  • the lowered part may be provided with a coating, such as a foil or paint, which has the benefit of protecting the panels against dirt, water and the like. For esthetical reasons it may be of a rustical design, for example.
  • the upper surface of the panel is provided with a surface finishing before the coating is provided on the lowered part, wherein the finished upper surface is provided with a anti-adhesive before the lowered part is coated, and any surface finishing which is applied on the anti-adhesive is removed, for example by brushing.
  • the advantage of these steps is that they simplify the method of making panels according to the invention. Since the cross-section of the lowered part along the edge varies, the width of the lowered part as seen in a direction along the edge of the panel may vary. As a consequence, the width of the foil or the amount of paint may vary along the edge of the panel.
  • the width of the foil or paint spray may be locally larger than the width of the lowered part as mentioned above, because excessive foil or paint can be removed easily from the upper surface next to the lowered part, for example by brushing.
  • the width of the foil or paint spray may be locally larger than the width of the lowered part as mentioned above, because excessive foil or paint can be removed easily from the upper surface next to the lowered part, for example by brushing.
  • the edge is machined by means of a milling tool, which is either moved in a direction towards and away from the edge during milling of the edge, or the milling is effected by means of a rotary milling tool having teeth around its circumference which have a varying distance from the rotary centre of the tool.
  • a milling tool which is either moved in a direction towards and away from the edge during milling of the edge, or the milling is effected by means of a rotary milling tool having teeth around its circumference which have a varying distance from the rotary centre of the tool.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates two adjacent panels 1 of one embodiment of the panel according to the invention.
  • the panels 1 as shown in Fig. 1 are attached to each other and may be part of a covering when a plurality of panels are attached to each other in this way.
  • the panels will be rectangular, either square or elongated or in between. However, other shapes are conceivable.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a cross-section of the assembly of the panels 1 as shown in Fig. 2 on a larger scale in more detail.
  • Each panel 1 comprises an upper surface 2 and a lower surface 3. These surfaces 2, 3 each extend within different main plains.
  • the main portions of the upper surface 2 and lower surface 3 are parallel to each other and spaced in Y direction.
  • the upper and lower surfaces 2, 3 are substantially flat surfaces.
  • the panel comprises an edge 4 between both surfaces.
  • the edge 4 is provided with coupling means to couple the panel 1 to coupling means of the adjacent panel 1, such as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the coupling means are well-known in the art, for example formed by a tongue 5 and groove 6 and are not part of the present invention.
  • the upper surface 2 includes a lowered part 7 on at least one, but preferably all edges 4 of the panel.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the upper surface 2 comprises a substantially flat surface portion 8 and the lowered part 7.
  • the lowered part 7 is located below the flat surface portion 8 of the upper surface 7 as seen in Y direction.
  • the upper surface 2 of the panel 1 is provided with a surface decoration which imitates natural materials, such as wood.
  • This surface decoration may include a laminate of paper layers impregnated with resin.
  • the remaining part of the panel 1 below the upper surface 2 may include a core comprising one or more layers of MDF, HDF, HTSP, PVC, composites or the like, and possibly a balancing layer.
  • the cross-section of the lowered part 7, perpendicular to the edge of the panel, varies along the edge 4.
  • the edge 4 extends in Z direction.
  • the lowered part 7 has a non planar structure as seen along the edge 4. This provides a natural appearance of the panels 1.
  • the embodiment of the panel 1 as shown in Fig. 2 has a lowered part 7 of which the cross-section varies in an irregular manner. Preferably, it varies in a random manner so as to provide a most natural look of the panel 1.
  • the lowered part 7 has an extreme edge 9, which is positioned against an extreme edge 9 of the adjacent panel 1.
  • the extreme edge 9 is straight and therefore has the same position within each cross-section so as to obtain an appropriate sealing between adjacent panels 1. It can be seen in Fig. 2 that the extreme edge 9 has a fixed position with respect to the lower surface 3 since the extreme edge 9 extends parallel to the lower surface 3 and the upper surface 2, whereas the rest of the lowered part 7 varies in a random manner.
  • the lowered part 7 has an inclined extent as seen from the extreme edge 9 to the upper surface 2. This results in a V-groove between the panels 1 when they are attached to each other. Furthermore, a lower section 10 of the V-groove, which is adjacent to the extreme edge 9 has a planar shape and a constant cross-section along the edge 4. An upper section 11 of the lowered part 7, which is located between the lower section 10 and the flat surface portion 8 of the upper surface 2, has a varying cross-section along the edge 4. The angle of the lower section 10 with respect to the upper surface 2 is larger than the angle of the upper section 11 with respect to the upper surface 2, for example 35-85° and 15-40°, respectively, but other angles are also possible, of course. The width of the lowered part 7 in the X, Y plane along the edge 4 may vary around 2 mm, for example, but other dimension are conceivable, of course.
  • Fig. 2 also shows that the lowered part 7 crosses the upper surface 2 in a second line 12.
  • the extreme edge 9 forms a third line. It can be seen that the extent of the second line 12 deviates from that of the extreme edge 9 so as to form the desired non-planar structure of the lowered part 7.
  • the panel 1 such as described hereinbefore can be made by the following steps: machining the edge 4 to form coupling means 5, 6; providing the upper surface 2 with a lowered part 7 at the edge 4; and machining the edge 4 such that the lowered part 7 is provided with a varying cross-section perpendicular to the edge 4 of the panel 1.
  • the structure of the lowered part 7 in Fig. 2 can be obtained by performing the following steps: first machining the flat lower section 10 by passing the panel 1 along a milling tool which has a fixed position with respect to the passing panel 1, then passing the panel along a milling tool which is moved in a direction towards and from the panel 1 so as to form the upper section 11.
  • the lowered part 7 can be made in a single machining step not forming part of the claimed invention. This is illustrated in Fig. 3a .
  • the lowered part 7 is made by a milling tool 21, which has a fixed position with respect to the position of the extreme edge 9 of the panel 1.
  • the milling tool 21 can be swivelled about the extreme edge 9 such as shown by the double-headed arrow in Fig. 3a .
  • This alternative machining method results in panels having a lowered part 7 which has a non-planar structure between the second line 12 and the extreme edge 9 which has maintained its original shape, in this case a straight line.
  • This machining method results in a panel 1 such as illustrated in Fig. 3b .
  • the upper surface 2 of a large plate of which panels 1 will be sawn off later on is initially provided with a surface decoration 13 before the panels 1 are sawn off.
  • the lowered part 7 is preferably provided with a surface finishing, such as a coating 14 comprising a foil 14a or paint. This protects the material of the panel 1 against dirt and liquids or the like which might permeate into the panel 1. It also provides the lowered part 7 with a colour or decoration which is adapted to the decoration of the upper surface of the panel.
  • the surface finishing can be provided onto the upper surface 2 before the coating 14 is provided onto the lowered part 7, whereas the finished upper surface 2 is provided with an anti-adhesive before the lowered part 7 is coated.
  • a part of the coating 14 may have been provided onto the upper surface 2 next to the lowered part 7 (the flat surface portion 8) which was already covered by the anti-adhesive.
  • the remaining coating 14 on the upper surface 2 can be easily removed from the upper surface 2 together with the anti-adhesive by brushing, for example.
  • the anti-adhesive is provided onto the upper surface 2 before machining the edge to form the lowered part 7, because in this case the lowered part 7 is automatically made free of anti-adhesive during machining, whereas the flat surface portion 8 remains covered with the anti-adhesive.
  • Fig. 4a shows that the upper surfaces 2 of two panels 1 are covered by anti-adhesive near the edges before machining the edges 4 and forming the lowered part 7 (note that the panels are shown upside down in Fig. 4 ).
  • the anti-adhesive can be provided onto the upper surface 2 by using a spraying apparatus 15.
  • Fig. 4b illustrates the panels 1 after the coupling means 5, 6 and the lowered part 7 have been provided.
  • Fig. 4c illustrates the process of providing a foil 14a as a coating 14 onto the lowered part 7.
  • Figs. 5a and 5b illustrate the process of providing a foil 14a to the lowered surface 7 in more detail.
  • Fig. 5a illustrates the process of pressing the foil 14a onto the panel 1 by two separate pressing tools 15 behind each other as seen in the direction along the edge 4.
  • Each of the pressing tools 15 have substantially flat pressing surfaces 16, which can be angled with respect to each other so as to create a pressing surface 16 corresponding to the shape of the lower part 7.
  • Fig. 5b shows the process of pressing the foil 14a onto the panel 1 by a single pressing tool 15 which has a deformable pressing surface 16 which adapts to the varying shape of the lowered part 7.
  • Fig. 6a is a very schematic side view of an apparatus for providing a foil on a lowered part 7 of a panel 1.
  • a foil strip 14a is supplied from the left side by a roller 17 comprising a foil strip 14a.
  • the foil strip 14a has a width of 8-10 mm, for example, but other dimensions are conceivable.
  • the panels 1 are also supplied from the left side (not shown) and are conveyed from left to right at the same speed as the speed of the foil strip 14a.
  • Fig. 6a also shows that the apparatus comprises pressing belts 18 and pressing rollers 19 which press the belt 18 against the foil 14a onto the lowered part 7 of the panel 1.
  • the apparatus also comprises heating elements 20 to support an adhering process of the foil strip 14a to the panel 1.
  • Fig. 6a shows two belts for the case that the lowered part 7 is provided with a lower section 10 and an upper section 11 each having different angles with respect to the upper surface 2, such as illustrated in Fig. 5a .
  • One belt 18 can be applied for pressing the foil to the lower section 10 and the other belt 18 can be applied for pressing the foil 14a to the upper section 11. This is illustrated in Fig. 6b .
  • the apparatus can be provided with only one deformable endless belt 18 and pressing rollers 19 wherein axes of rotation of the pressing rollers 19 can be tilted with respect to each other such that the belt 18 is pressed on a lowered part 7 of which the lower section 10 and the upper section 11 have different angles with respect to the upper surface 2, such as shown in Fig. 5b .
  • Such an apparatus is illustrated in Fig. 6c .
  • the orientation of a portion of the belt 18 which presses on the foil 14A is changed along its direction of movement between the left set of wheels and the right set of wheels in Fig. 6c .
  • Another alternative embodiment of the apparatus comprises a pressing belt 18, which is able to press the foil synchronously on the lower section 10 and the upper section 11 which have different angles with respect to the upper surface 2, such as illustrated in Fig. 6d .
  • the pressing belt 18 is made of a more flexible material.
  • the non-planar structure of the lowered part 7 is made by machining the edge 4 by a milling tool 21, which can be moved in a direction towards and away from the edge 4, and along the edge 4 at the same time.
  • This method results in a structure of the lowered part 7, such as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • An alternative method has been explained above with reference to Fig. 3a .
  • This embodiment of the milling tool 21 is provided with teeth 22 around its circumference, which have a varying distance d with respect to a rotary centre 23 of the milling tool 21. This provides the possibility to vary the amount of material which is cut by the milling tool by changing the rotational position of the milling tool 21 during passing of a panel 1 along the milling tool 21 while the rotary centre remains at the same location.
  • the second line of the panel may be parallel to the extreme edge, whereas a portion of the lowered part between the second line and the extreme edge is provided with a non-planar structure.
  • the invention provides a panel which presents a very good imitation of a panel made of natural materials. Furthermore, the invention provides an appropriate method to make such a panel.
