Description

The invention relates to a parquet element according to claim 1 for floor, wall or ceiling covering, preferably for wet rooms or outdoors, consisting of wood, in particular of solid thermal wood, such as thermo treated maple, birch or ash wood or wood-like materials and / or wood substitutes , wherein the parquet element has a groove in one of its height surfaces and that this grooved height surface from the edge with the useful or surface of the Parkettelements up to the groove edge has a molded plastic edge. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a panel formed from at least two parquet elements according to claim 3 or a parquet formed from a plurality of parquet elements or panels according to claim 4.

It is common to mill tongue and groove boards at the joints and to shed the broadened joint with plastic. However, so produced soils have only a low flexibility, whereby damage is often unavoidable.

From the WO 2007/033391 A1 is a panel made of wood, which has a groove in one of its height sides known. The height surface between the groove and the panel surface is provided with a plastic rim. Furthermore, the panel has a groove arranged centrally on the panel surface, and two panels are connected by means of a plastic joint.

Furthermore is from the WO 2004/081316 A1 a panel known, the spring extension is made in one piece.

Likewise is from the DE 94 13 059 U1 a Bodenpaneel known, which consists of a wood material, such as chipboard, fiberboard or plywood and is provided with a sealing material. Also, this known floor panel has an integrally executed with the wood material Federfertsatz.

Furthermore, from the US 2005/016107 A1 a floor covering of several layers known, the spring extension is also integral with the middle layer.

The encapsulation of various components, including wood, is also known. So is out of the DE 30 03 010 A1 a floor, wall and ceiling covering of assembled machined wood single surfaces known.

Furthermore is from the DE 102 18 848 A1 a composite element of wood for the furniture sector is known, which has a film hinge made of thermoplastic polyurethane.

In addition, from the DE 41 10 150 C2 a device for attaching a plastic edge to a plate known.

A disadvantage has proven in the previously known coverings whose poor suitability for wet rooms.

The object of the invention is, on the one hand, to avoid the above disadvantages and, on the other hand, to use ecological material with high functionality in accordance with today's zeitgeist.

The object is achieved by the invention.

The invention is characterized in that the groove with the molded plastic edge over all four vertical surfaces of the Parkettelements and the plastic edge slightly above the surface edge extends and that a plastic spring is arranged for connecting two parquet elements in the grooves. Under a height surface is one of the four side surfaces of the Parkettelements to understand, with the mentioned groove is parallel to the upper or Nutzfläche. With the invention it is now possible to create a floor, wall or ceiling covering for particular wet rooms or terraces or balconies, which meets the high requirements, in particular with regard to water resistance. The parquet element according to the invention can be used for a stable wet room floor from, preferably domestic, wood use. Furthermore, such a parquet element can also be adapted in design to current trends. Also over underfloor heating, such a coating can be laid.

In particular, the parquet element consists of solid and / or thermowood, such as thermo-treated maple, birch or ash wood. The parquet element made of local solid wood, for example for a floorboard, is specially designed for the wet room and withstands fluctuating humidities. The hardwood finished in thermo-wood is treated in a baking process above 200 degrees Celsius. The material thus receives properties that are otherwise known only from tropical woods. It becomes durable, stable and the shades become dark and exotic. In addition, it is also widely resistant to germs.

The fact that the groove with the molded plastic edge extends over all four vertical surfaces of the Parkettelements, the parquet elements practically to a seamless surface, such as a floor, are joined together. Furthermore, as a result of the fact that the plastic edge, preferably slightly, extends over the edge of the useful surface, a slip resistance is achieved in use.

According to one embodiment of the invention, a, in particular centrally located, groove is provided on the surface opposite the utility or surface. As a result, a certain voltage freedom and thus a larger plane or flat surface is achieved in use.

According to another particular feature of the invention, at least two parquet elements are connected to each other with their plastic edges to the panel, wherein the two Kuststoffränder are formed into a plastic eye. Such fixed molded flexible joints increase stability and give the floor a look reminiscent of the decks of ships. Another advantage of such a compound is the fact that there is a gap at the lower joint, whereby a compensation of expansion due to moisture and temperature influences is possible.

In general, it can be shown that the dimensions of the individual parquet element or panel coming into distribution are selected in such a way that optimum waste minimization is achieved.

According to a very special feature of the invention, two parquet elements and / or panels are connected to a spring. The use of such a foreign spring has the advantage that both parquet elements or panels are more flexible. By connecting with its own spring thus tensions and strains can be better absorbed to the subsoil. The spring is made of plastic. Such materials have proven themselves in practice and can be used economically.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the spring is designed to penetrate into the groove of the Parkettelements or the panel conical. This ensures a simple but safe installation.

Finally, it must be mentioned that the inventively differently produced designs of the Parkettelements or the panel or the parquet can be used according to the desired visual impression.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings.

According to the Fig. 1 a parquet element 1 is shown for a floor, wall or ceiling covering. This parquet element 1 is particularly suitable for wet rooms or for outdoor installation. The parquet element 1 consists of wood, wood-like materials and / or wood substitutes. Excellent results are achieved when the parquet element 1 made of solid and / or thermowood, such as thermo-treated maple, birch or ash wood.

The hardwood is refined in a baking process over 200 degrees Celsius to Thermoholz. This gives the wood properties that are otherwise known only from tropical woods and it is durable, stable and the shades are dark and exotic. In addition, it is also widely resistant to germs.

A height surface is one of the four side surfaces of the Parkettelements 1 and the - later still set - panel 9. The parquet element 1 has in at least one of its vertical surfaces 2 a parallel to the upper or Nutzfläche extending groove 3. This grooved height surface 2 further points from the edge with the Nutz- or. Surface 4 of the Parkettelements 1 to the groove edge 5 a molded plastic rim 6, in particular polyurethane-based on. Of course, as in the Fig. 1 shown - extend the groove 3 with the molded plastic rim 6 over all four vertical surfaces 2 of the parking element 1.

The plastic edge 6 extends, preferably slightly, over the edge of the useful or surface. Thus, a slip resistance is achieved in use.

At the utility or surface 4 opposite surfaces 7, which preferably serves for attachment, a, in particular centrally disposed, groove 8 is provided. Through this groove 8 a voltage freedom and thus a larger plane or flat surface is achieved in use.

The Fig. 2 shows a panel 9, which consists of at least two parquet elements 1. The two parquet elements 1 are connected to each other with their plastic edges 6 such that the two Kuststoffränder 6 result in a plastic joint 10. Of course, this plastic groove 10 may be slightly raised above the surface 4 for slip resistance. By this plastic joint 10 results in a gap 12 at the lower abutment, equivalent to the central groove 8, whereby an expansion compensation due to moisture and temperature influences is possible. Such fixed molded flexible joints increase stability and give the floor a look reminiscent of the decks of ships.

Fig. 3 shows a panel 9, which consists of four parquet elements 1, wherein two plastic joints 10 are provided. Of course, here are the benefits of in Fig. 2 given panel given.

According to the Fig. 4 a spring 11 is shown, which serves to connect two parquet elements 1 or panels 9. The spring 11 is preferably made of plastic and is for penetration into the groove 3 of Parkettelements 1 or 9 of the panel conical. The use of such a foreign spring 11 has the advantage that both parquet elements 1 are more flexible. By connecting with its own spring 11 thus stresses and strains can be better absorbed to the subsoil.

According to the Fig. 5 Part of a parquet is shown as flooring. The individual panels 9 are connected to each other by the spring 11.

Such a floor, wall or ceiling covering is ideal for wet rooms or terraces or balconies. It meets the high requirements, especially with regard to water resistance.
