Definitions

  • the invention relates to a set of tabular panels, each comprising a top, a bottom, two first opposite edges and two second opposite edges.
  • Akzenta is a set of rectangular floor panels with two short opposite edges and two long opposite edges known.
  • One edge each comprises a retaining profile in the form of a hook or roof tile profile, which extends along the respective edge and is designed such that it can be connected to a substantially complementary design retaining profile of the opposite edge.
  • the retaining profiles have a V-shaped clip with a free resilient leg and a leg fixedly connected to the floor panel.
  • the V-shaped clip or the free resilient leg of the V-clip can be considered as a movable locking element, which ensures a positive connection in the direction of D1 when it assumed a locking position has, namely a position in which the resilient V-leg is in the locking groove.
  • a locking position in which the V-leg is pressed to the fixed leg, however, as already stated above, the joining of the holding profiles along the direction D1 is possible.
  • the direction D1 extends vertically to a laying plane in which the floor panels lie in the laid state.
  • first panel and a second panel of the EP 1 415 056 B1 These panels are on the short edges - in addition to the positive connection by means of the V-clip in the direction D1 - due to the hook-shaped holding profiles in a direction D2 perpendicular to the direction D1 positively connected to each other.
  • the first and second panels form part of a row X of panels, with which a third panel can be joined along the long edges to form another row X + 1 of panels.
  • a large-scale floor which consists of several juxtaposed rows of panels, each arranged in a row behind the other and connected at the short edges.
  • the EP 1 415 056 B2 and the WO 2006/043893 A1 thus disclose movable locking elements that result in automatic locking of retaining profiles when assembled together. For example, if two panels are locked at their short edges by the locking element, a release of the connection of the holding profiles of the short edges is difficult or impossible. This not only complicates the dismantling of a misplaced Floor, but also complicates the laying when panels of different decor or appearance are to be joined together to form a series of panels, but their aesthetic interaction should be tested by first trying only.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a set of tabular panels that can be installed very easily.
  • the set of tabular panels according to claim 1 is characterized in that in the mounting position, the locking element of the holding profiles of the first edges of the first and second panels with one end in the holding profile of the row X + 1 facing the second edge of the first and / or second Panels protrudes and that the locking element is pressed in connecting the third panel with the first and / or the second panel of the row X by the holding profile of the third panel in the locking position.
  • the locking element protrudes with one end into the retaining profile of the row X + 1 facing the second edge.
  • This protrude can only be a few millimeters, for example 1 to 7 mm.
  • the path that the end of the locking element travels when it is pushed from the mounting position to the locking position, is preferably also only a few millimeters, for example 1 to 6 mm. In the locking position, the end can still protrude into the retaining profile, albeit to a lesser extent.
  • these are rectangular panels, in particular around floor panels, wherein the first edges are shorter than the second edges.
  • the locking element is provided at least at the short edges.
  • the locking element is provided on at least one of the long edges.
  • a respective locking element can be provided on the short edges and on the long edges.
  • the panels may deviate from the rectangular shape and take, for example, a diamond-shaped form.
  • the panels according to the invention can also have more than four edges, for example six or eight edges.
  • the direction D1 in which in the mounting position of the locking element, the holding profiles can fit together and in which the locking element ensures in the locking position for a positive connection between the holding profiles, parallel to a laying plane E, in which laid the panels in the State lie.
  • the first and second panels can be joined at their first edges by displacing the panels in the laying plane E. If the locking element is then pressed out of the mounting position into the locking position by the third panel, it is no longer possible to pull apart the retaining profiles of the first and second panels transversely to the connected short edges.
  • the direction D1 runs perpendicular to the laying plane E.
  • panels can be connected to each other at the first edges by lowering the second panel from above into the laying plane.
  • This movement can be a linear movement, but also a pivoting movement.
  • the locking element is arranged in a locking groove of one of the retaining profiles of the first edges, while a further locking groove is provided on the other retaining profile of the first edges.
  • the corresponding locking grooves face each other and form a blocking channel.
  • the locking element protrudes into the locking position in the further locking groove. This prevents the opposing blocking grooves from being laterally, i. transversely to the longitudinal extension of the grooves, which ensures the form fit in direction D1.
  • the locking element may be integrally formed. It is also possible that the locking element consists of several individual components.
  • the locking element could comprise a sliding cage which is clipped into the locking groove of one of the retaining profiles or otherwise secured in the locking groove.
  • the sliding cage forms the receptacle of a single element, which is arranged movably in the sliding cage and is at least partially pushed out of the sliding cage in the locking position. Also, it does not necessarily have to be the component that protrudes into the retaining profile of the second edge, which ultimately ensures the locking of the retaining profiles at the first edge.
  • the locking element is elastically deformed in the locking position.
  • a restoring force is given, which forces the locking element from the locking position back into the mounting position when the panels are removed.
  • the locking element can automatically return to the mounting position, unlocking the connection of the X series panels at the short edges.
  • the locking element may extend substantially the entire length of the first edges. For example, if the first edges are 20 cm long, then the length of the locking element is also about 20 cm. It should be considered that the locking element must survive at one end of the short edge, while at the other end of the edge can be provided a support for the locking element. Also, the locking element in a selected embodiment, both at one and at the other end of the short edge protrude. A support of the locking element could be done by panels of an already laid row X-1.
  • the locking element may comprise a strip of plastic or metal.
  • the strip may have at least one buckle in the assembled position, which increases when the strip is pressed into the locking position.
  • the curvature in the assembly position ensures that when compressing the strip a defined deformation of the same takes place.
  • the strip may have a plurality of bulges which increase upon compression. In principle, other means may be provided which allow deformation of the locking element in only a desired manner.
  • the retaining profiles at the first edges may comprise two hook profiles which can be connected by relative movement in a direction perpendicular to the laying plane. These hook profiles are thus suitable for the embodiment in which the direction D1 already described above is perpendicular to the laying plane E.
  • the holding profiles at the first edges may have a groove and a spring, wherein the holding profiles can be connected by moving the panels in the laying plane. This corresponds to the embodiment already described above, in which the direction D1 runs parallel to the laying plane E.
  • the retaining profile of the second edge of the third panel which faces the row X
  • the retaining profiles of the second edge of the first and / or second panel already located in the laying plane by attaching at an angle to the laying plane and subsequent pivoting of the third panel the second edge can be connected in the laying plane. From this, a connection can be made between the panels of row X + 1 and the row X, which are transverse to the second edges both in one direction perpendicular to the laying plane and in a direction parallel to the laying plane is positively formed.
  • the retaining profiles at the second edges may have a groove and a tongue, wherein the groove is bounded by a lower lip and an upper lip.
  • a locking shoulder can be formed, which engages in a locking groove on an underside of the spring. The engagement of the locking shoulder in the locking groove ensures - together with opposing upper edges of the holding profiles - for a positive engagement parallel to laying plane when the spring has been inserted into the groove and the holding profiles are connected together.
  • locking groove and locking shoulder and other means can be used in a tongue and groove connection, can be made parallel to the laying plane by a positive connection.
  • the groove may be formed drop-shaped on its underside, wherein the lower lip is formed complementary to the spring-facing side.
  • the spring can be introduced by a pivoting movement and / or by lateral sliding into the groove, wherein by the locking shoulder and the locking groove or by the other means preferably a noticeable engagement (Click) of the connection takes place.
  • the retaining profiles on the second edges may be designed so that the locking shoulder and the locking groove or the other alternative means are under tension against each other, which voltage causes the upper edges of the retaining profiles are pressed together.
  • a game between the retaining profiles may be provided parallel to the laying plane, so that no voltage is generated by the interaction between the locking shoulder and locking groove through which the upper edges are pressed together.
  • neither a game nor a tension is parallel to the laying level between the holding profiles.
  • the locking element In the assembled position, the locking element can protrude with the end in the groove of the holding profiles of the second edge, for example, 1 to 7 mm calculated from the groove bottom. It is located at least partially between the upper and lower lip.
  • the spring When inserting the spring into the groove for connecting the retaining profiles to the second edges, the spring can press the end towards the groove bottom out of the groove, whereby the locking element then assumes the locking position.
  • In the locking position is preferably the end of the locking element on the spring.
  • the spring and / or the end of the locking element may have means by which the end passes through a maximum in the movement of the locking element from the mounting position to the locking position. This means that the end in an intermediate position is pressed out of the groove to a maximum extent to then move back in the locking position of the locking element, for example by the restoring force of the deformed in the locking position locking element. This allows a tactile locking of the locking element set. If the retaining profiles at the second edges by a click (Click) connected, thus creating a two-time snapping or "clicking", namely on the one hand by the engagement of the locking element and then, preferably with a short time delay, by the holding profiles themselves (double click).
  • the retaining profiles on the second edges, locking element and provided on the first edges holding profiles are designed with the locking channel forming locking grooves so that when connecting the holding profiles at the second edge first, the first and second panels are aligned with each other in height, thereby it is ensured that the locking channels of the holding profiles at the first edges facing each other without offset. Only then should the locking element be pressed into the further locking groove. If, for example, the holding profiles at the second edges can be connected by oblique attachment of the third panel and subsequent pivoting down, an alignment can first be effected by the oblique attachment without the locking element being already moved. The alignment has the consequence that a possible height offset between the opposing spear grooves is reduced.
  • the third panel is pivoted down, in which case the locking element is moved to the locking position.
  • the locking element may have on one of the further locking groove facing sides insertion bevels, which facilitate insertion into the further locking groove.
  • the retaining profiles on the second edges may be displaceable relative to one another along the edges. This opens up the possibility of displacing panels within a row X + 1 in order to establish a connection at the short edges, even though these panels in this row X + 1 are already connected to a neighboring row X.
  • the force of the locking element can act parallel to the laying plane, so that the panels are pressed against each other at their tops, creating a gap-free Connection to be achieved. It is also possible that the locking element exerts a force perpendicular to the laying plane, whereby a possible height difference of the adjacent tops of connected panels should be avoided.
  • the locking element is in a locking channel, which is formed by two opposing locking grooves, the locking element can exert a force by which the locking grooves are pressed apart and thus a gap between the retaining profile walls may arise, on which the locking grooves are arranged. As stated above, however, this can be used selectively to close possible other gaps between the holding profiles.
  • a set of tabular panels each having two first opposite edges and two second opposite edges, one edge each comprising a retaining profile extending along an edge and formed in such a way that it is connectable to a substantially complementary formed retaining profile of the opposite edge, wherein the holding profiles of the first edges have a movable clamping element which exerts a force in a clamping position, whereby the holding profiles are pressed against each other to a possible gap and / or a possible Height difference between tops of the panels to minimize or minimize, wherein in the installed state, a first panel and a second panel are connected to each other at the first edge and form a row X of panels with which ver along the second edges ver a third panel can bind to form another row X + 1 of panels, wherein in an assembly position, the clamping element protrudes with one end in the holding profile of the row X + 1 facing the second edge of the first and / or the second panel, and wherein the third
  • the kit according to claim 1 may comprise additional activating means by which the locking element of the retaining profiles of the first edges of panels of a last row can be pushed into the locking position. This ensures that even the panels of the last row are positively connected to one another at their first edges in the directions D1 and D2.
  • the additional activating means may have a narrow strip which has a retaining profile on one longitudinal side, which can be connected to the retaining profile of the panels of the last row at the second edge and thereby presses the locking element into the locking position.
  • the strip which can also be described as the end strip, can be 10 to 25 mm wide.
  • the activation means may comprise a wedge, which can be inserted laterally into the locking groove and thereby presses the locking element seated in the locking groove in its locking position.
  • laying the last row can proceed so that first the panels of the last row are locked together at their first edges by means of the wedge and then this last row is applied at an angle to the laying plane E to the penultimate row and then into the Laying plane is pivoted, as has already been described above in a preferred embodiment.

  • this groove 10 can be a spring 9 of a complementarily shaped retaining profile 36 'introduce, in FIG. 7 also outlined. It can be clearly seen that the locking element 15 protrudes with one end 32 into the groove 10 of the retaining profile 36. Now, if the spring 9 of the retaining profile 36 'is guided in the groove 10, the spring 9 presses the end 32, in the illustration of FIG. 7 , to the right, whereby the locking element 15 is more curved and now - as far as the retaining profiles 35 ', 35 have been previously joined - engages with the locking groove 17 of the retaining profile 35th
  • FIG. 9 shows schematically the interaction of holding profiles on a long edge 7 of a panel 1 with a locking element 15 on a short edge 6 'panel 1.
  • the holding profiles on the long edge 7 are denoted by 27, 27', since they the holding profiles of FIG. 4 correspond.
  • FIG. 9 shows in an upper part of the locking element 15 in the assembled position and in a lower part in the locked position.
