Definitions

  • the invention relates to a panel which can be positively connected to a second panel so that there is a locking both perpendicular to the common surface and perpendicular to the common joint and at the same time parallel to the common surface.
  • glue can be dispensed with if the panels are used according to the invention as a covering for a floor or a wall cladding.
  • the connection succeeds by lowering a panel relative to a previously installed panel.
  • a panel of the type mentioned is for example from the document US 6,324 . 803 B1 respectively.
  • EP 0 698 162 B1 known.
  • the known panel is positively locked with a second by means of a tongue and groove connection perpendicular to the common surface of the panels.
  • the groove includes an upper and a lower flank.
  • the lower edge is longer than the upper and has at the end a protruding locking element.
  • the protruding locking element engages in a recess which is introduced below the adjacent panel.
  • a positive locking is achieved, which acts parallel to the common surface of the two panels and at the same time perpendicular to the common joint of the two panels.
  • the game is also required to be able to connect two panels, for example, by a rotational movement about the common connecting joint in spite of the aforementioned vertical walls.
  • a clearance of 2/10 mm may be present.
  • a parquet panel may comprise a backing plate made of, for example, HDF or MDF. Above the carrier plate, one or more parquet lamellae are applied. Below the carrier plate, a layer or a paper may be applied to effect a counteracting, whereby deformations are avoided.
  • glueless interconnectable panels known that consist entirely or predominantly of plastic, such as the publication US 04426820 ,
  • the invention further relates in particular to a laminate floor.
  • a carrier plate made of a wood material.
  • HDF and MDF are currently the preferred wood-based materials.
  • Another typical wood material consists of glued chips.
  • a decorative layer is applied, which comprises a decorative paper together with a protective layer.
  • the protective layer consists in particular of a resin which, inter alia, abrasion resistant Particles such as corundum or silicon carbide (SiC).
  • a Gegenzugpapier is applied to avoid the aforementioned deformations.
  • technical laminates are gaining in importance and from which more and more panels are being produced. These are used in particular as a floor covering.
  • Resin-soaked papers are fed to a press together with the carrier plate during manufacture. Under the supply of heat and pressure, the papers are glued to the carrier plate.
  • the decorative paper already has the layer with the abrasion-resistant particles.
  • Panels of the type according to the invention may comprise one or more of the aforementioned features.
  • panels are from the publications WO 00/47841 A1 .
  • WO 01/51732 A1 such as DE 200 08 708 U1 known, which can be connected by lowering each other. Lowering means that one panel can be held horizontally to the other and lowered while maintaining the horizontal position. If one panel has reached the plane of the other panel, then at least one locking device is present perpendicular to the common connecting joint and parallel to the common plane.
  • the surface of the underlying panel may be easily damaged at the edge adjacent to the later joint joint.
  • the snap can be problematic, especially when relatively rigid materials such as MDF or HDF are used.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a panel of the type mentioned, which can be easily and reliably connected to a second glueless.
  • a cord or rod-like element which consists in particular of a compressible material.
  • a flexible material for example Teflon can be provided.
  • Teflon preference is given to a material which has good elastic properties.
  • the cord or rod-like element therefore consists for example of a rubber.
  • silicone is to be preferred over rubber, since silicone has a suitably higher restoring force in comparison to rubber. The higher restoring force of silicone compared to rubber has proven to be advantageous.
  • the aforementioned gap or recess occurs in particular on the surface of two panels, which forms the visible part of a floor or wall cladding. From the surface then the cord or rod-like element is visible. In the locked state, the cord or rod-like element is particularly dimensioned such that it completely fills the width of the gap. Advantageously, the cord or rod-like element is slightly wider. It is then in the compressed state within the gap.
  • the friction is reduced, in particular compared to those panels in which the locking elements are integrally connected to the panel and made of a wood material.
  • panels connected integrally to the panel may be provided which are made of wood-based material and which can nevertheless be displaced relatively easily along a common connecting joint even when two panels are interlocked with one another. If the gap with the cord-like or rod-like element is located on the visible surface, then new design possibilities open up as a concomitant feature. In the joint area, for example, black rubber or silicone material becomes visible. The surface of the panel may otherwise have a strong contrast thereto. This results in new optical effects, which are not known in particular in laminate panels.
  • the cord or rod-like element is color-matched to the visible surface.
  • decors that have a colored border or colored edges on the surface of each panel.
  • the customer can freely choose the color of the border and also modify it later. So it is possible to vary the appearance of already laid panels with a relatively small effort, without to remove the flooring.
  • the recess provided on the surface by two adjoining panels thus offers, in addition to the technical advantage of easier displaceability, the possibility of being able to easily modify optical impressions.
  • the cord or rod-like element can be subsequently pressed or inserted from the surface into the gap or the recess. However, it may also already be connected to a panel, in particular if the cord or rod-like element consists of a compressible material. Subsequent insertion of a separate cord or rod-like element in a gap, however, has the advantage that the panels can be moved particularly easily, as long as the cord or rod-like element is not yet inserted.
  • the cord or rod-like element typically has a diameter or a width of at least 0.5 mm, preferably of at least 1 mm, particularly preferably of at least 2 mm.
  • the width does not regularly exceed 10 mm, unless a larger width is desired for visual reasons.
  • the width is less than 5 mm, more preferably less than 3mm. In principle, however, smaller or larger widths or diameters may be provided, for example for optical reasons.
  • the cord or rod-like element is then pressed lightly in the gap and is thus held in the gap.
  • the gap may also have the same width. Only a larger width of the gap compared to the width of the cord or rod-like element or the diameter should be avoided, otherwise an undesirable gap remains on the surface and the cord or rod-like element leach out too easily, if this from the Surface has been inserted ago.
  • An interference fit of the cord or rod-like element in the gap is to be preferred, since then the gap-free state is ensured and the cord or rod-like element is held.
  • the cord or rod-like element is in the locked state between two surfaces which cause a lock.
  • these can be the areas that are called contact areas here.
  • the cord then consists in particular of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone.
  • the Cord or rod-like element is then in particular partially in a recess and is pressed into this further or even completely, when panels are locked together.
  • a panel by a rotary motion or a lowering movement for example, from the document DE 20008708 U1 is known, in a second latched.
  • the cord or rod-like element is pressed into the recess. Due to the presence of a game, one panel can now be pushed further in the direction of the other panel. As a result, the depression is released again.
  • the cord or rod-like element relaxes and thus passes between the two (contact) surfaces, which cause a lock.
  • the aforementioned recess is preferably located immediately before the transition to the locking element.
  • the cord or rod-like element is inserted or has already been factory-mounted here, for example, vulcanized.
  • a gap or a recess remains on the surface.
  • a second cord or rod-like element is then introduced.
  • a cord or rod-like element made of compressible material may already be attached to the surface at a joint edge of a panel. This can be advantageous to achieve the aforementioned design effects or to compensate for stresses that are practically unavoidable especially in a wood material.
  • first and a second cord-like or rod-like element are provided in a connecting joint between two panels, this also offers the advantage that on the surface the panels are initially pressed apart slightly by means of a corresponding tool can be. It is thus created space to easily insert a cord or rod-like element here. Is the cord or rod-like element largely inserted, the tool is removed. The cord or rod-like element, which is located between two locking contact surfaces, then relaxes so that no gap remains on the surface.
  • cord or rod-like element provided inside the joint between two contact surfaces, which cause a lock
  • this allows an embodiment in which two panels are connected by coupling elements of a panel first by a vertical movement relative to the later common surface of two panels be brought into coupling elements of a second panel.
  • the cord or rod-like element may for example be pressed into a corresponding depression. Subsequently, the panels are pushed towards each other.
  • a spring can enter into a groove in this push-together and thus cause a locking perpendicular to the common surface.
  • the aforementioned cord or rod-like element finally relaxes and passes between the two locking contact surfaces.
  • the cord or bar-like element may have a circular or triangular diameter. However, if it is introduced from the surface last, it may be advantageous that the cord or rod-like element is designed hook-shaped on two opposite sides. If the cord or rod-like element is pressed into a gap from above, these hooks act like barbs. If the cord or rod-like element is pressed into the gap, then the visible surface of the cord or rod-like element can be made flat, so as to provide a surface finish with the remaining surface of the panels.
  • the cord or bar-like element advantageously comprises a thread that can not be stretched practically.
  • the thread is then always wrapped by a compressible material. This ensures that the cord or rod-like, consisting of a compressible material element is not disadvantageously stretched by the pressing in a gap or in a recess. If the cord or rod-like element initially stretched, it will contract again when laid. This undesirable areas would occur in the recesses or columns, which are not filled with a cord-like or rod-like element.
  • a connection is possible by a panel is first lowered perpendicular to the other.
  • the narrow sides are provided with such locking elements when the surface of a panel is rectangular.
  • the longitudinal sides are then preferably designed such that a connection usually requires a rotational movement about a connecting joint around. If a panel is connected on the longitudinal side by a rotational movement with the longitudinal side of a second panel, then a narrow side can at the same time reach the corresponding locking or coupling element of an already installed panel. It is also the narrow side of the already laid panel.
  • Moving further may be particularly undesirable if there is a small protrusion, for example because of a door frame, in a room to which a panel should possibly be closely adjacent. Then it is particularly advantageous to be able to connect panels by a lowering movement.
  • the cord or bar-like element may have a substantially rectangular or square diameter in order to effect a surface finish on the surface.
  • a cord or bar-like element has the desired elasticity or flexibility when the width or diameter can be reduced by compression. Solid metal or wood is not compressible.
  • the claimed dimensions of the panels are advantageous because they can be handled easily. In particular, dimensions below 100 cm are advantageous because then the panels can be easily transported even in the trunk of limousines.
  • rod-like or cord-like elements are provided, these are preferably such that the restoring forces that occur due to the rod-like or cord-like elements are such that no gap remains on the surface. It is therefore advantageous that a rod or cord-like element, which borders on the visible surface of the panels, can cause relatively low restoring forces. Panels are not pressed so much undesirable far.
  • the restoring forces can be suitably adjusted by selecting the materials that make up the rod-like or cord-like elements. Additionally or alternatively, the cross sections can be suitably chosen.
  • the rod-like or string-like element adjacent to the surface therefore preferably has a larger area in cross-section than that of the other rod or cord-like element.
  • a cord or rod-shaped element causes a locking of two panels in one of said directions, that is, for example, perpendicular to the common surface of the panels.
  • two panels are locked together and at the same time perpendicular to the common joint with each other when the rod or cord-shaped element is pushed into a corresponding recess.
  • the cord or rod-shaped element in the simplest case has a rectangular cross-section.
  • the coupling elements of the two panels that are to be connected have recesses, which also have a rectangular cross-section. If the two panels joined together, so for example by moving in a plane, so finally an end position is present, in which the two aforementioned recesses border with the rectangular cross-sections.
  • connection in which a connection is made on the basis of a tongue and groove connection, an elastic lip or flank together with further locking elements are provided so as to allow a positive connection by moving in a plane, damage can occur in particular when the material is relatively rigid. This is particularly the case when the coupling elements consist of a wood material, such as HDF or MDF. This easily possible damage to the coupling elements can be avoided in this embodiment.
  • the connection can be very stable mechanically, since vertical or undercut contact surfaces can be provided. Even at oblique contact surfaces, such as these from the document EP 00843763 B1 are known, a more stable mechanical connection can be made possible because an elastic edge is not required and the locking element can protrude relatively far.
  • the rod or cord-like element has, for example, a constriction in cross section.
  • the rod or cord-like element In order to push the rod or cord-like element in recesses in coupling elements, so as to lock two panels together, the rod or cord-like element preferably has a smooth surface to keep occurring during sliding sliding friction forces low.
  • the rod-like or cord-like element then consists in particular of non-compressible or hardly compressible material in order to be able to avoid a gap on the surface of the panels even if no additional rod-like or cord-like element is to be introduced on the surface.
  • Teflon may therefore be appropriate.
  • HDF, MDF also have relatively smooth surfaces and therefore can also be used with preference.
  • a rod made of metal or with a metallic surface has a smooth surface and can therefore preferably be used.
  • the rod or cord-like element tapers advantageous at least one end.
  • the embodiment in which the insertion of a rod-shaped or cord-shaped element brings about a locking of two panels is provided on narrow sides of panels which have a rectangular surface. Panels are then joined together on the longitudinal sides, in particular by a rotary movement. If necessary, narrow sides of already laid panels are then pushed towards each other. Finally, the rod or string-like element is pushed in on the corresponding narrow side. Narrow sides, between which the rod or cord-shaped element is pushed in for the purpose of locking, are to be preferred, since here the distance is comparatively short. Accordingly short, the rod or cord-shaped element is to push in to lock two panels in accordance.
  • the embodiment in which the insertion of a rod-shaped or cord-shaped element brings about a locking of two panels can be combined in one panel with the coupling elements known from the prior art to provide a glueless connection.
  • a panel with, for example, rectangular surface which is preferably on the longitudinal side so that it can be connected by means of a rotational movement with a second panel without glue, so that no play between the panels remains.
  • Such an embodiment is from the document WO 01/48332 known.
  • this embodiment comprises a rigid, protruding lower lip or flank to arrive at a mechanically stable connection.
  • the embodiment is then provided, in which the insertion of a rod-shaped or cord-shaped element causes a locking of two panels.
  • a first and a second panel are connected to each other by means of the rotational movement.
  • the second panel along the joint joint on a adjacent, already connected to the first panel pushed panel.
  • the second and third panels are finally joined together by pushing the rod or string-shaped member into a channel formed by recesses in the respective coupling members.
  • FIG. 1 shows two interconnected panels 1 and 2. These are in particular panels for a laminate floor.
  • the panels shown are in the example 8 mm thick.
  • the panel 1 has laterally a 2.5 mm deep groove, which is 1.9 mm wide.
  • This groove 3 comprises an upper flank 4 and a lower flank 5.
  • the upper flank 4 is 2.8 mm thick.
  • the lower edge 5 is longer than the upper edge 4. Outside the range of the actual groove 3, ie in the region of the lower edge 5, which protrudes from the upper edge 4, there is a recess 6.
  • the recess 6 is formed by a sloping Boundary wall 7 and a perpendicular boundary wall 8 is formed.
  • the sloping wall opens in the direction of the floor surface 9 funnel-shaped.
  • the sloping wall 7 serves to transition from the actual area of the groove 3 to the recess 6.
  • the perpendicular to the floor surface 9 extending wall 8 forms a wall of the locking element 10.
  • the locking element 10 is located at the open end of the projecting edge or lip 5 of the panel 1.
  • the locking element 10 is in the present case with respect to the bottom of the recess 6 by 0.7 mm.
  • the wall 8 forms a contact or locking surface, which contributes to the locking of the panels 1 and 2 parallel to the floor surface 9 and perpendicular to the joint 11.
  • the panel 2 has a spring 12 on the side.
  • the spring 12 In the connected state of the two panels, the spring 12 is in the groove 3.
  • the thickness of the spring 12 is adapted to the width of the groove so that up and down no play exists.
  • the open end of the spring 1 2 has an obliquely extending boundary 13 on the lower side. It remains here a distance from the adjacent flank 5 of the groove 3.

  • the recess 13 is suitable for introducing the spring 12 into the groove 3 by means of a rotational movement about the connecting joint 11.
  • a protruding nose 14 is provided below the spring 12.
  • a recess 15 is formed, which can be made by milling from the bottom of the panel 2.
  • the wall 16, which forms the transition between the recess 15 and the nose 14, is perpendicular to the floor surface.
  • the wall 16 also forms a locking or contact surface which, in interaction with the delimiting wall 8, effects the positive locking parallel to the floor surface 9 and perpendicular to the joint 11. Since the contact surfaces or locking surfaces 8 and 16 are perpendicular to the floor surface 9, this is a particularly secure positive locking between the two panels 1 and 2 achieved in comparison to the prior art, as for example from the document WO 97/47834 A1 is known.
  • the positive locking due to the locking surfaces 8 and 16 is further improved by the fact that the projecting lower edge 5 is formed sufficiently rigid.
  • the lower edge 5 is formed sufficiently rigid when the panels 1 and 2 can not be connected by pushing each other within a plane.
  • the connection by moving in a plane is also from the aforementioned document WO 97/47834 A1 known.

  • the locking surface 8 is then inclined inwardly towards the recess 6.
  • the locking surface 16 is inclined inwardly in the direction of the recess 15. In the connected state, the locking surfaces 8 and 16 then lock together.
  • This embodiment is particularly advantageous when the connection is to be made possible by moving in a plane. In this case, for example, the projecting flank 5 can be bent sufficiently far down so as to allow the connection by shifting in a plane.
  • the abovementioned interlocking of the locking surfaces 8 and 16 is particularly advantageous.
  • the interlocking prevents that, for example, the lower edge 5 can bend away due to shocks.
  • the projecting below the spring nose 14 is limited to the open end of the spring through an inclined wall 17.
  • the limiting wall 17 is parallel to the wall 7.
  • a game remains between the wall 17 and the wall 7. This may be a few tenths of a millimeter, in the present case, it is for example 0.5 mm.
  • the abovementioned clearance of 0.5 mm occurs between the delimiting wall 17 and the limiting wall 7.
  • a gap for example, 2.5 mm thick. It remains between the panels 1 and 2 in the locked state so first a game. This makes it possible to connect the panels together, although the locking surfaces 8 and 16 in the present example are perpendicular or at least nearly vertical. Even an undercut is possible. The game is then typically 2/10 millimeters and more. How big the game should be, depends in particular on the shape and dimension of the contact surfaces 8 and 16.
  • panel 1 In the locked state panel 1 can be moved relative to panel 2 along the joint 11. This may be desirable when laying to bring panels to the final position. Compared to the prior art, as for example from the document WO97 / 47834 A1 is known, the move succeeds particularly easy.
  • a cord-like or rod-like element 18 is or is introduced.
  • the cord or rod-like element 18 in the present case has a rectangular cross section and thus essentially corresponds to the shape of the gap.
  • the cord or bar-like element 18 thus terminates flush and flat with the surface 9 of the panels 1 and 2.
  • the cord or rod-like element 18 is preferably somewhat wider than the gap into which the cord or rod-like element is introduced. In the present case, it is slightly wider than 2.5 mm. The depth of the cord or rod-like element 18 corresponds to the thickness of the flank 4. In the present case, the cord or rod-like element is thus 2.8 mm deep and sits on the upper side of the nose 12. This ensures that the cord or rod-like element 18 does not get into the gap so deeply that no flush termination on the surface 9 is achieved.
  • the cord or rod-like element 18 in the present case consists of a silicone material. This is elastic and can therefore be compressed.
  • the gap in which the cord or rod-like element 1 8 is introduced, expands downwards.
  • the expansion runs funnel-shaped through the walls 19 and 20.
  • the expansion can be minimal. It only takes a few tenths of a millimeter.
  • the cord or rod-like element 18 expands in the region of the recess, if this is slightly wider than the gap. This ensures that the cord or rod-like element 18 is firmly seated in the gap. An undesirable loosening of the cord or rod-like element in the installed state is counteracted.
  • the cord or rod-like element 18 can finally be introduced into the gap.
  • a panel 1 or 2 has already been connected to the cord or rod-like element 18 by the manufacturer. Due to the compressibility of the material can be compared to the prior art, as it is known from the document WO97 / 47834 A1 is known, yet achieve the desired effects.
  • a comparatively easy displaceability along a common connecting joint is possible with interconnected panels. The connection succeeds even with perpendicular or undercut extending contact surfaces 8 and 16.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 2 differs from the embodiment, as in the FIG. 1 This is particularly well ensured that the panel 2 from the panel 1 can not be solved when the panel 2 is pulled in the direction of the arrow 21.
  • this embodiment is particularly advantageous.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 3 differs from the embodiments according to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 by providing a another cord or rod-like element 22 which is introduced between the locking surfaces 8 and 16.
  • This causes the clearance between the panels to be relatively large relative to the embodiments according to FIGS FIGS. 1 and 2 can be without having to enlarge the cord or rod-like element 18 on the surface 9 of the panels 1 and 2.
  • the cord or rod-like element 22 can compensate for shrinkage effects, which can occur in particular if the panels are made of wood-based material.
  • panels are made of a wood material, they will shrink in warm temperatures. If panels made of a wood material are exposed to damp rooms, they will expand.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 3 is therefore preferably provided in rooms that are heated regularly. To name here, for example, a living room of a family house.
  • the cord or rod-like element 22 which is located between the contact or locking surfaces 8 and 16, has in cross-section regularly smaller dimensions compared to the cord or rod-like element 18, which adjoins the surface 9 of the floor.

If panel 2 is connected to the panel 1, then the nose 14 first pushes the cord or rod-like element 22 completely into the recess 23, as in FIG FIG. 4 is hinted at. If panel 2 is subsequently moved in the direction of panel 1, then the cord-like or rod-like element 22 relaxes and passes between the locking surfaces 8 and 16.

This ensures that when entering the floor, the load is distributed over two contact surfaces. If only the support surface 42 were provided, then the spring 38 is loaded accordingly strong. The mechanical requirements for the stability of the spring 38 are correspondingly high. In order to reduce the mechanical load on the spring 38 when entering, the second bearing surface is provided.

If panel 1 rests on a smooth floor, then there remains a gap at the open end of the projecting flank 5 and the floor. Because of this distance, it is possible to bend the locking element 10 slightly outwards, so that the locking element 36 can enter the recess, which is formed by the projecting flank 5 and the locking element 10.

For this reason is according to FIG. 13 provided that the lower edge 5 has a slight elevation at the support surface 43. This ensures that the width of the support surface 43 is significantly smaller than the width of the downwardly projecting locking element 36, as in the FIG. 13 is clarified.
  • the support surface 43 is so limited in space and kept relatively small. It is thus easier to provide a smooth transition at the joint.

  • the open end 52 of the flank 40 of the panel 2 protrudes beyond the spring or nose 41, which points laterally outwards in the locking element 36. This avoids that, during the lowering, the protruding nose 41 damages the edge 53, which forms the transition from the surface 9 into the connecting joint in the case of the panel 1. If this were damaged, the damage would be visible from the surface, so that such damage should be avoided in any case. Therefore, it is advantageous to arrange the nose 41 set back in the manner shown.

  • a bevel 58 is provided above the spring 41.
  • the spring 41 tapers towards the open end.
  • the groove 39 at the top expediently has a bevel 59, so that the groove 39 widens toward the opening.

  • FIG. 17 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 13 primarily in that the support surface 43 is inclined, so that it drops in the direction of the groove 39.
  • the slope supports the final displacement of the panel 2 in the direction of the panel 1 along the arrow 25.
