Definitions
- the invention relates to a covering of mechanically interconnectable panels as well as a laying and a dismantling method for such a covering.
- Wall, ceiling and floor coverings such as prefinished parquet, real wood floors or laminate flooring, consist of several rows of predominantly rectangular panels in their configuration.
- the panels have on a longitudinal side and on a head side continuous grooves and on the respective opposite longitudinal side or head side continuous springs, which are adapted to the grooves form-fitting manner.
- tongue and groove By connecting tongue and groove the panels are laid, the panels of the second adjacent rows are offset from one another.
- mechanical locking means on the grooves and springs which engage with one another in a floor covering adjacent panels in latching engagement. This is to a joint formation in the laid floor covering by stretching or shrinking operations be avoided.
- Adjacent to the tongue and groove of the panels are mating locking elements in the form of recesses, recesses or projections to hold bonded floor panels in the assembled position glueless.
- the panels are rotated along their longitudinal sides into each other or clicked and then moved laterally, so that locking strips on the head sides engage.
- light hammer blows can be applied from the opposite side of the head with the aid of an impact pad. There is a risk that damage to the floor panels may occur even during the most careful work.
- WO 2007/081267 A1 discloses a covering of mechanically interconnectable panels, wherein adjacent first and second panels each have a groove on their mutually complementary sides.
- a relative to the panel relatively displaceable spring is arranged, which is adapted to engage in the connection of the adjacent panels in the groove of the adjacent panel.
- the spring-holding panel has a locking strip engaging under the adjacent panel.
- the locking bar is geeigente to secure adjacent panels against tensile stress in a laying plane, wherein the attacked by the locking bar panel is supported on both the locking bar and on a support bar.
- the support strip is arranged at a greater distance from the locking bar than the groove.
- This game is preferably as small as possible so that it does not come to a height offset in the area of the butt joint of two panels. Due to the principle, however, a particular game can not be avoided.
- the invention has for its object to show a covering of mechanically interconnectable panels, in which the height offset in the area of the butt joint is minimal and which is designed so that it can be easily moved and resumed.
- the panels of the invention are intended and adapted to be mechanically connected to other similar panels.
- the connection is made via arranged on the complementary sides of the panels connecting elements in the form of tongue and groove joints.
- the complementary sides can be head sides and / or long sides of the panels.
- a relative to the panel relatively displaceable spring is arranged, which is adapted to engage in connecting the adjacent panels in a groove of the adjacent panel.
- the latching or connection of the panels preferably takes place only when another panel engages with its longitudinal side with the longitudinal sides of the preceding row of panels while pushing with its longitudinal side protruding from the groove end of the spring in the groove, so that this shifting causing a head-side locking of the mutually complementary head sides of the adjacent panels.
- the panel originally holding the spring has a locking strip which engages under the adjacent panel and which is suitable for securing adjacent panels against tensile stress in a laying plane. The locking strips thus serve to couple the panels in the laying plane, while the springs are intended to prevent the panels from shifting relative to one another in the vertical direction.
- the locking strip which engages under the adjacent panel is arranged at a relatively large distance from the top of the panels, it is additionally provided that the attacked by the locking bar panel is primarily supported on a support strip. This is arranged at a greater distance from the locking bar than the groove. In other words, the groove is between the support bar and the locking bar.
- the support bar has the function of reducing the distance of the support point from the top of the panels, which is particularly advantageous for very thin-walled and softer materials. Due to the proximity of the support bar to the top of the panels, vertical forces acting selectively on a butt joint and acting on the underreached panel are introduced in a shorter way into the adjoining underarching panel than is possible with the lower locking bar. Due to the support in the immediate vicinity of the point of force application, the height offset between two panels in the load case is much lower.
- the support bar can take in the same or the same groove in which the spring is displaced.
- the groove is correspondingly wider than the spring provided for locking.
- the distance of the support bar from the top of the panel is preferably 10% to 35% of a total thickness of the panel.
- the support strip can therefore preferably be arranged no more than 3 mm to 5 mm apart from the top of the panel.
- the actual distance depends on the thickness of the decorative layer of the Panel.
- the panel itself may have a relatively small thickness of 8 mm to 10 mm.
- the support strip can be arranged directly adjacent to the groove.
- a lower edge of the support bar may even be part of an upper groove cheek of the groove.
- the height range of the panel, which extends above the support ledge to the top is set back slightly in relation to the groove mouth. This also makes the desired support strip is formed.
- the support strip is pre-displaced as a narrow web opposite the Nutmündung with the result that a lower groove cheek of the groove is shorter than the upper groove cheek of the groove.
- a depression is arranged on one side of the panel adjacent to the upper side of the support strip. The depression does not relate to the already existing support strip, but to those height region of the panel, which connects above the depression to the top of the panel. Such a recess makes it easier to manufacture the support edge in the corner without disturbing rounding or bevel, which would reduce the support area.
- the corner area is moved into the panel, so to speak, so that the projecting area of the support bar is completely available as a support for support. This is important as the support bar should not be made larger than necessary. Under certain circumstances, even a projection of less than 1 mm is sufficient, preferably of the order of 0.5 mm.
- the width of the groove, in which the spring is to be displaced, at the narrowest point be greater than 1, 1 times the width of the spring.
- the support strip has a thickness that corresponds to at least about 10% of the thickness of the spring.
- the spring adjacent the support bar is supported in the locking position of the spring directly from the top of the spring, the in turn rests against the lower groove cheek of the respective grooves and thereby initiates the attacking forces in the lower half of the panel and thus in the ground.
- support strips relatively small thickness can be used without the risk that the support bar breaks off.
- this also means that other design options exist with regard to the locking strips, since the vertically acting forces are now introduced into the support strip and only conditionally into the locking strip.
- the underride panel is supported primarily on the support bar, while the locking bar primarily serves to bind the panels in the horizontal direction to each other. For this purpose, an oblique surface is provided on the locking bar.
- a force acting here can be divided into a horizontal and a vertical force vector.
- the horizontal force vector determines the force with which the panels are pressed together in the horizontal direction.
- a smaller, vertical force vector is present, since the panels must be folded down with a certain minimum effort. If the folded-down panel hits the slanted surface, it glides on the slanted surface into the correct position.
- the inclined surface is preferably convex. In one embodiment of the convex oblique surface, two or more convex portions having different radii merge into each other. In the contact region, that is in the installed position, the angle to the horizontal is ⁇ 90 °, preferably ⁇ 60 °, in particular ⁇ 55 °.
- This extension may consist of a slope or in a convex curve, which is for example elliptical.
- the purpose of such, extending mouth side groove cheek is that the spring with increasing penetration depth must be shifted in the groove from the lower groove cheek towards the upper groove cheek. The displacement is, however, inhibited by the fact that the spring against the underside of the support strip, which at least partially forms the upper groove cheek, is urged. The underside of the spring runs so to speak on the ramp-shaped or wedge-shaped inclined surface of the lower groove cheek and thereby pulls the underride panel down against the support bar.
- the spring Due to the emergence of the spring on the wedge-shaped inclined surface of the lower groove cheek, the spring is twisted in the direction of the upper groove cheek, so that it is easily wedged between the grooves and thus subjected to a bending stress.
- the spring preferably consists of a rigid material to absorb the bending stresses occurring.
- the spring surface facing the underside of the panels at least in the region of connection of two panels to the lower groove cheeks of both grooves and that the spring surface facing the upper side of the panels bears against the upper groove cheeks of the opposing grooves, at least in the region of connection of two panels.
- the spring is biased so that it pushes horizontally in the mounting position in the complementary groove. As a result, the panels are automatically pulled in height against each other.
- the assembly of the panels according to the invention is particularly simple if a front tip of the lower groove cheek can be passed without jamming at the front edge of the support strip.
- the lower height range of the panel which is located in the installed position below the groove and above the locking bar, compared to the upper height range, which is located above the support bar, slightly set back, the dimensioning of the support strip determines how far the Kuppelwulst should be set back.
- the tip of the lower groove cheek and thus of the dome bulge lies in the same vertical plane as the front edge of the support strip.
- the panel according to the invention it is possible to optimize floor coverings in their connection area in terms of height adjustment, even if relatively thin panels, especially in the laminate area, are used.
- the material for the spring may be both a wood material, that is, it may be wood or a material containing wood fibers, or a material made of wood as a base material, such as liquid wood.
- Metal and metal alloys are also suitable for the springs as well as composites.
- the use of bimetallic or mixed plastics is just as possible as the use of materials based on thermoplastic or duoplastic plastics.
- the spring can also consist of a fiber-reinforced plastic.
- the concept of the invention is applicable to all floor systems in which an upper covering is arranged on a support, such as real wood coverings, laminate, support with painted surfaces as top coat, linoleum, cork on support plates, etc.
- the cover layer may in particular consist of a decorative paper with overlay, which determines the appearance of the element plate.
- a floor covering may thus be a parquet floor, a finished parquet floor, a real wood floor or a laminate floor.
- a method for laying the covering described above is the subject of patent claim 17.
- a plurality of panels to be laid in the composite are coupled together on their sides (head sides or longitudinal sides) locking strips so that the adjacent panels engage with each other ,
- the sides are locked against each other by the springs inserted in grooves, the sides being locked only when another panel engages a previously laid panel and the further panel pushes a projecting end of the spring of the already laid panels into the groove so that it engages in the groove of the other side and locks the panels together.
- the panels can be connected to one another by each of the three following relative movements: a) the further panel is connected to the installed panel by sliding horizontally in the direction of the laying plane, the further panel slidingly reaching the locking position via the locking bar; b) a top edge of the further panel is applied to one side of a laid panel, the further panel being pivoted about the edge and displaced to the locking position; c) the other panel is placed from the top of the locking bar of the laid panel, the grooves of the panels during the Ablegens are either aligned parallel to each other or at the beginning of depositing at an angle to each other, which is reduced when depositing, the pivot axis is in the laying plane and perpendicular to the groove.
- Variation a relates to a nearly exclusive horizontal displacement in the laying plane, which corresponds to a certain extent the known horizontal impact, but with the difference that no increased effort is necessary because the panel to be laid simply slides over the locking bar of the previously installed panel.
- Variation b relates to the pivoting about a certain pivot point, which is defined by the decorative edge, that is, by the top edges of the panels.
- Variant c) detects the pinch-free placement or deviation, for example in the head region of two panels.
- the locking that is, the displacement of the spring is then performed by a third panel, which is in operative connection with the spring.
- the fitter has thus the choice between the horizontal insertion, the swiveling, the depositing and the Abwinkein. All laying methods are possible with one and the same configuration on the front, which considerably simplifies installation not only for laymen.
- Claim 18 relates to a disassembly method for a covering with the features described above. It is essential that when extended, extending in both grooves spring that panel which is engaged by the locking bar, to an upper edge, which borders on the panel with the locking bar, can be pivoted and thus removal even when the spring is extended , Basically, this removal corresponds to the reverse procedure to variant b) of the laying method described above.
- the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the schematic drawings. Show it:
- FIGS. 1a to 1c each show a cross section through the connecting region of two adjacent panels in different assembly positions
- Figures 2 and 3 each have a cross section through the connecting region of two adjacent panels in two further mounting positions and
- Figure 4 shows a cross section through the connecting region of two adjacent panels in a further mounting position
- FIG. 1a shows a cross section through two panels 1, 2. This may be a longitudinal or head-side cross section of the panels 1, 2.
- the panels 1, 2 are identically configured so that the panels 1, 2 can be assembled into a floor covering.
- FIG. 1a here shows two adjacent panels 1, 2 before the procedure.
- the illustration on the left shows a first panel 1 and on the right a second panel 2, which is intended to be connected to the first panel 1.
- the first panel 1 has a locking strip 3 and the second panel 2 has a downwardly open dome channel 4 and a subsequent downwardly directed end Kuppelwulst 5.
- the locking bar 3 of the first panel 1 is opposite a head side, in this embodiment only referred to as page 6, before.
- Panel 2 is arranged relative to panel 1, that when lowering in the direction of arrow P Kuppelwulst 5 of the second panel 2 with the dome channel 7 of the locking bar 3 and the dome channel 4 of the second panel 2 with the dome bead 8 of the locking bar 3 engage.
- a tip 26 of the Kuppelwulstes 5 of the second panel slides along a leading edge of the page 10 of the first panel 1 projecting support bar along until an upper groove cheek 27 of the groove 17 of the second panel 2 on a top surface 24 of Supporting strip 11 of the first panel 1 rests and the side 6 of the second panel 2 rests against the side 10 of the first panel 1.
- a contact region 9 is formed between the dome channel 4 of the second panel 2 and the dome bulge 8 of the locking bar 3 of the first panel 1.
- the second panel 2 engages with the first panel 1 in such a way that the second panel 2 is biased and pressed against the side 10 via the contact area 9 (FIG. 1b) between the dome channel 4 and the dome bead 8 with its side 6 ,
- the spring 16 is still arranged in this position in the groove 17.
- this spring passes from the groove 12 in the groove 17 and locks the panels 1, 2 together
- the second panel 2 is located on a support bar 11 above a groove 12.
- the support strip 11 is thus located at a smaller distance from the top 13 of the right panel 2 as the locking bar 3, on the Panel 2 is usually supported in the vertical direction. Due to the smaller distance of the support strip 11 to the top 13 tighter tolerances can be met, so that with this solution, any height offset between the panels 1, 2 can be minimized.
- the support strip 11 directly adjoins the groove 12, so that its lower edge 14 is a component of an upper groove cheek 15 of the groove 12.
- the support strip 11 thus extends together with the already from the first panel 1 in the second panel. 2 displaced spring 16 in the corresponding groove 17 in the right panel 2.
- the groove width of the groove 17 is correspondingly larger than the thickness measured in the vertical direction of the spring sixteenth
- the groove 17 in the right panel 2 not only has a larger groove width, but also a lower groove cheek 18, which is convexly curved in contrast to the lower groove cheek 23 of the left groove 12, so that the groove 17th expanded on the mouth side.
- the curvature of the groove cheek 18 is elliptical, so that the spring 16 runs during displacement in the direction of the arrow P1 on the groove cheek 18 and slightly tilted in this case with respect to the groove 12 and the groove 17.
- the upper side 19 of the spring 16 is pressed from below against the upper groove cheek 15 in the region of the support strip 11, so that the spring 16 via the contact region K with the lower groove cheek 18, the right panel 2 deeper down into the dome channel 7 of the first panel pulls or the right panel 2 down against the top 24 of the support strip 11 of the first panel 1 presses. Because of this downward force and the inclination of the Kuppelwülste 5, 8 results in that in the contact region 9 between the Kuppelwülsten 5, 8 both a horizontally acting and a vertically acting force is applied, the horizontal force component causes the sides 6, 10 of the panels 1, 2 are pressed firmly against each other.
- a convex oblique surface of the coupling bead 8 is formed by two convex sections with different radii R1, R2 merging into one another.
- the angle between the inclined surface and the horizontal is about 60 °. Due to the angle of the inclined surface, a later release of the connection, that is lifting the panel can be facilitated.
- the spring 16 can accumulate better on the groove cheek 18 of the groove 17, a front lower corner of the spring 16 is provided with a chamfer 20.
- a chamfer 21 is also in the area of the upper groove cheek right in the image plane Groove 17 to recognize. This chamfer 21 and a recess 22 in the opposite side 6 of the first panel 1 allow any contamination can not lead to a vertical offset between the panels 1, 2 and can be moved into the recess 22.
- the panels 1, 2 touch only at certain support and holding points.
- the locking strip 3 and the dome 5 touch in this embodiment, only in the above-described contact area 9.
- the remaining space between the locking bar 3 and the dome 5 are so small column that with an extreme vertical load and a touch can not be excluded due to the limited elasticity of the materials. Due to the free space also manufacturing tolerances can be compensated.
- a vertical plane V drawn with a broken line runs in the plane of a front edge 25 of the support strip 11.
- an outermost tip 26 of the dome bulge 5 or the lower groove cheek 18 does not extend beyond this vertical plane V in the direction of the adjacent panel 1.
- the tip 26 is located in the image plane rather to the right than to the left of the vertical plane V, so that when swinging down the right in the image plane panel 2 on the left panel 1 of the dome 5 and the top 26 of the Kuppelwulstes 5 at the front edge 25 of the support strip 11 can be passed.
- the right panel 2 is at an angle to the laying plane, ie brought at an angle to the laid panel 1 to this panel 1 until the panels 1, 2 touch in the region of their tops at the edges.
- This contact point or this contact line defines the pivot point D, or the axis of rotation, which coincides with the decorative edge.
- the right panel 2 is pivoted about the pivot point D down ( Figure 3), wherein the Kuppelwulst 5 of the right panel 2 is introduced past the dome bead 8 of the locking bar 3 in the dome channel 7 of the locking bar 3.
- the dome bulge 8 of the locking strip 3 slides into the dome channel 4 of the other panel 2 until the panels 1, 2 are supported in the contact region 9.
- the variant according to Figure 4 shows the horizontal insertion of the right panel 2 in the left, already installed panel 1.
- the panels 1, 2 remain substantially parallel to each other.
- the Kuppelwulst 5 of the right panel 2 is slightly raised and introduced past the dome bulge 8 of the locking bar 3 in the dome channel 7 of the locking bar 3.
- the dome bulge 8 of the locking bar 3 slides into the dome channel 4 of the other panel 2 until the panels 1, 2 are supported in the contact area 9.
- the spring 16 is displaced.
- the spring 16 thus does not interfere with the horizontal insertion.
