Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verlegehilfe für die Verlegung von Bodenpaneelen, insbesondere für die Verlegung von Laminatbodenpaneelen.The invention relates to a laying aid for the installation of floor panels, in particular for the installation of laminate flooring panels.

Unter Bodenpaneelen werden im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung hauptsächlich Laminatbodenpaneele verstanden, die mit einer Nut-Feder-Verbindung miteinander verbunden werden. Dabei sind bevorzugt mechanisch verriegelbare Nut-Feder-Verbindung gemeint, jedoch kann die Verlegehilfe auch bei Paneelen mit zu verklebenden Nut-Feder-Verbindungen eingesetzt werden. Die Laminatbodenpaneele bestehen in der Regel aus einem Kern aus Holzwerkstoff, der eine dekorative und abnutzungsresistente Oberfläche aufweist. Als Bodenpaneele können auch Parkettbodenpaneele angesehen werden.Under floor panels are understood in the context of the present invention mainly laminate floor panels, which are connected to each other with a tongue and groove connection. In this case, preferably mechanically lockable tongue and groove connection are meant, however, the laying aid can also be used in panels with tongue and groove joints to be bonded. The laminate floor panels are usually made of a core of wood-based material, which has a decorative and wear-resistant surface. Parquet floor panels can also be considered as floor panels.

Bei der Verlegung von Bodenpaneelen müssen immer eine Reihe von vorbereitenden Maßnahmen durchgeführt werden. So müssen die Paneele zum Teil zugeschnitten werden, wozu Markierungen zum Ablängen der Paneele oder zum Einbringen von Ausschnitten für Türzargen oder Heizungsrohre aufgezeichnet werden. Zusätzlich ist es erforderlich, gegebenenfalls Verunreinigungen in oder an dem Nut-Feder-Profil zu entfernen, ohne dabei Veränderungen oder Zerstörungen des Profils zu bewirken.When installing floor panels, a series of preparatory measures must always be carried out. Thus, the panels must be cut to some extent, for which markings are recorded for cutting the panels or for inserting cutouts for door frames or heating pipes. In addition, it is necessary to remove any impurities in or on the tongue and groove profile, without causing changes or destruction of the profile.

Weitere Vorbereitungsmaßnahmen für die Verlegung von Bodenpaneelen sind das Reinigen und Glätten des Untergrundes, auf den die Bodenpaneele aufgelegt werden sollen. So können beispielsweise auf einem Estrich noch verbliebene Klebstoffreste eines vorher verlegten Fußbodenbelags oder auch Betonreste oder Farbspritzer auf dem Untergrund sein.Further preparations for the installation of floor panels are the cleaning and smoothing of the substrate on which the floor panels are to be laid. For example, remaining adhesive residues on a screed of previously laid floor coverings or even concrete residues or paint splashes on the substrate may be present.

Nicht zuletzt das Öffnen des Pakets mit den Fußbodenpaneelen bedarf eines sorgfältigen Vorgehens, damit die Paneele beim Öffnen nicht beschädigt werden.Last but not least, opening the package with the floor panels requires careful attention to ensure that the panels are not damaged when opened.

Im Stand der Technik sind für all diese vorbereitenden Maßnahmen unterschiedliche Werkzeuge im Einsatz. Zum Teil sind dieses die üblichen Werkzeuge wie Zollstock, Schraubenzieher oder Spachtel, die ein Bodenverleger grundsätzlich zur Hand hat. Zum Teil gibt es aber auch einzelne Werkzeuge, die für eine spezielle Funktion ausgebildet sind.In the prior art, different tools are in use for all these preparatory measures. In part, these are the usual tools such as ruler, screwdriver or spatula, which has a floor publisher basically to hand. But sometimes there are also individual tools that are designed for a specific function.

Jedenfalls werden zahlreiche Werkzeuge benötigt, um die erforderlichen vorbereitenden Maßnahmen beim Verlegen von Bodenpaneelen durchführen zu können.In any case, numerous tools are needed to carry out the necessary preparatory measures when laying floor panels.

Der Erfindung liegt daher das technische Problem zugrunde, die Zahl der beim Verlegen von Bodenpaneelen benötigten Werkzeuge zu verringern und somit das Verlegen zu vereinfachen.The invention is therefore based on the technical problem of reducing the number of tools required when laying floor panels and thus simplify laying.

Das zuvor aufgezeigte technische Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Verlegehilfe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The aforementioned technical problem is solved by a laying aid with the features of claim 1. Further features of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung hat demnach erkannt, dass eine speziell ausgeformte Verlegehilfe mit mindestens einem Hilfsmittel zum Markieren eines Bodenpaneels und mit mindestens einem Hilfsmittel zum Bearbeiten des Bodenpaneels zu einer vereinfachten Verlegung führt.The invention has therefore recognized that a specially shaped laying aid with at least one aid for marking a floor panel and with at least one aid for processing the floor panel leads to a simplified installation.

Dadurch hat der Bodenverleger mit einem Werkzeug mindestens zwei Hilfsmittel zur Hand, um die regelmäßig auszuübenden vorbereitenden Maßnahmen durchzuführen. Insbesondere kann mit der Verlegehilfe eine Mehrzahl von Hilfsmitteln bereitgestellt werden, um verschiedene vorbereitende Maßnahmen durchzuführen. Die Verlegehilfe besteht dazu vorzugsweise aus einem flächigen Material, insbesondere bestehend aus einem Metall oder einem harten Kunststoff, in dem die Hilfsmittel ausgebildet sind.As a result, the floor installer has at least two tools at hand with a tool in order to carry out the preparatory measures to be carried out regularly. In particular, with the laying aid a plurality of tools can be provided to perform various preparatory measures. The laying aid is preferably made of a sheet material, in particular consisting of a metal or a hard plastic, in which the tools are formed.

Zum einen kann in bevorzugter Weise das Hilfsmittel zum Markieren des Bodenpaneels als Kreisschablone, Längenmaßstab Winkelmaß und/oder Markierungsloch ausgebildet sein. Durch diese Hilfsmittel kann der Bodenverleger die häufig notwendigen Markierungen auf einem Bodenpaneel anbringen, ohne jeweils zwischen mehreren Werkzeugen wechseln zu müssen.On the one hand, the aid for marking the floor panel can be designed as a circular template, length scale, angle measurement and / or marking hole in a preferred manner. Through these tools, the flooring installer can attach the often necessary markings on a floor panel, without having to change between several tools.

Die Kreisschablone dient zum Anzeichnen von Ausschnitten für Heizungsrohre, wobei es bevorzugt ist, mehrere Kreisschablonen mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern vorzusehen.The circular template is used for marking cutouts for heating pipes, wherein it is preferable to provide a plurality of circular templates with different diameters.

Der Längenmaßstab kann in vorteilhafter Weise für ein Abmessen eines Wandabstandes eines zweitletzten Paneels einer Reihe und eines entsprechend zuzuschneidenden Reststückes verwendet werden. Insbesondere kann der Maßstab auch für das Abmessen von Raumkanten, Türstöcken oder ähnlichem verwendet werden.The length scale can advantageously for measuring a wall distance of a second last panel of a row and a corresponding zuzuschneidenden remaining piece be used. In particular, the scale can also be used for the measurement of room edges, door sills or the like.

Das Winkelmaß, vorzugsweise für einen Winkel von 90° oder 45°, kann in bevorzugter Weise für das Anzeichnen einer Schnittlinie auf einem Bodenpaneel verwendet werden.The angle measure, preferably for an angle of 90 ° or 45 °, can be used in a preferred manner for marking a cutting line on a floor panel.

Mindestens ein Markierungsloch, vorzugsweise mehrere Markierungslöcher, beispielsweise in Schritten von 5 mm, gemessen zur Seitenkante hin, sind im Grundkörper der Verlegehilfe angeordnet. Die Markierungslöcher dienen einem Aufzeichnen von Linien parallel zu einer Seitenkante des Bodenpaneels, indem eine Stiftspitze durch das Markierungsloch hindurch gesteckt wird und mittels einer seitlichen Bewegung parallel zur Seitenkante des Bodenpaneels die Linie aufgezeichnet wird. Alternativ können auch Kerben an einem Rand angebracht sein.At least one marking hole, preferably a plurality of marking holes, for example in steps of 5 mm, measured towards the side edge, are arranged in the base body of the laying aid. The marker holes serve to record lines parallel to a side edge of the floor panel by inserting a pen tip through the marker hole and recording the line by moving it laterally parallel to the side edge of the floor panel. Alternatively, notches may also be attached to an edge.

In weiter bevorzugter Weise kann das Hilfsmittel zum Bearbeiten des Bodenpaneels als Spitze zum Entfernen von Verunreinigungen aus einem Verriegelungsprofil ausgebildet sein. Insbesondere bei Holzwerkstoffen, aber auch bei Holzparkettpaneelen treten Staub und kleinere Materialstücke auf, die sich in das Profil der Nut-Feder-Verbindung setzen. Für ein korrektes Verlegen der Paneele ist es erforderlich, diese Verunreinigungen zu entfernen. Mit dem Hilfsmittel der Spitze, die an der Verlegehilfe in einer geeigneten Dimensionierung ausgebildet ist, können die Verunreinigungen in sicherer Weise entfernt werden. Gerade die richtige Dimensionierung der Spitze erlaubt ein Eindringen in das Profil, ohne dieses zu beschädigen.In a further preferred manner, the aid for processing the floor panel may be formed as a tip for removing contaminants from a locking profile. Especially with wooden materials, but also with wooden parquet panels occur dust and smaller pieces of material that sit in the profile of the tongue and groove joint. Correct installation of the panels requires removal of these contaminants. With the aid of the tip, which is formed on the laying aid in a suitable dimensioning, the impurities can be removed safely. Just the correct dimensioning of the tip allows penetration into the profile, without damaging it.

Des Weiteren kann zusätzlich oder anstelle der Spitze eine Bürste an der Verlegehilfe angebracht sein, mit der ein Säubern des Profils bzw. des Paneels ermöglicht wird.Furthermore, in addition to or instead of the tip, a brush may be attached to the laying aid, with which a cleaning of the profile or of the panel is made possible.

Des Weiteren kann das Hilfsmittel zum Bearbeiten des Bodenpaneels als Schleifoberfläche ausgebildet sein. Damit können Schnittkanten abgerundet werden, insbesondere können lose Fasern die beim Ablängen des Bodenpaneels entstehen, entfernt werden. Zusätzlich ließe sich auch an einer solchen Schleifoberfläche ein Bleistift spitzen. Die Schleifoberfläche kann als ein Abschnitt der Oberfläche der Verlegehilfe selbst als raue Oberfläche ausgebildet sein. Daneben ist es auch möglich, eine Klemmvorrichtung oder eine klebende Oberfläche zur Aufnahme eines damit wechselbaren Schleifpapiers vorzusehen.Furthermore, the aid for processing the floor panel may be formed as an abrasive surface. This makes it possible to round off cut edges, in particular loose fibers which are produced when the floor panel is cut to length can be removed. In addition, a pencil could be sharpened on such an abrasive surface. The grinding surface may be formed as a portion of the surface of the laying aid itself as a rough surface. In addition, it is also possible to provide a clamping device or an adhesive surface for receiving a removable abrasive paper.

Die Verlegehilfe kann auch mit einem Hilfsmittel zur Vorbereitung der Verlegung der Bodenpaneele versehen sein, das als Schneide zum Öffnen eines Bodenpaneele enthaltenden Pakets ausgebildet ist. Die Schneide verläuft in einem geeigneten Winkel zu einer Seitenkante der Verlegehilfe und grenzt bevorzugt an der oben beschriebenen Spitze an. Somit führt die Verlegehilfe mit geeigneter Schneide zu einem sicheren Öffnen des Pakets. Der Bodenverleger muss also zum Öffnen eines Paketes nicht auf dafür ungeeignete Werkzeuge zurückgreifen, die entweder zu scharf sind und zu tief in das Paket eindringen oder zu stumpf sind und einer zu großen Kraftanstrengung bedürfen, so dass beim Eindringen des Werkzeuges in das Paket der Inhalt beschädigt wird.The laying aid can also be provided with a tool for preparing the laying of the floor panels, which is designed as a cutting edge for opening a floor panel containing package. The cutting edge extends at a suitable angle to a side edge of the laying aid and preferably adjoins the tip described above. Thus, the laying aid with a suitable cutting edge leads to a secure opening of the package. The flooring installer does not have to resort to unsuitable tools for opening a package, which are either too sharp and penetrate too deeply into the package or too dull and require too much effort, so that the penetration of the tool in the package damaged the contents becomes.

Die zuvor beschriebene Schneide kann auch benutzt werden, wenn bei bestimmten Verlegetätigkeiten kleinere Abschnitte der Verriegelungsprofile entfernt werden müssen. Die Schneide kann beispielsweise zum Entfernen des Verriegelungselements einer vorgezogenen unteren Lippe verwendet werden. Dies ist bei Verlegung an schwer zugängigen Stellen wie bei einem Heizkörper oder einem Türstock manchmal erforderlich.The above-described cutting edge can also be used if, for certain laying activities, smaller sections of the locking profiles have to be removed. The blade can be used, for example, to remove the locking element of an advanced lower lip. This is sometimes required when laying in hard-to-reach places such as a radiator or a door frame.

Die Verlegehilfe kann auch mit mindestens einem Hilfsmittel zur Vorbereitung der Verlegung der Bodenpaneele versehen sein, das als Spachtel zum Glätten des Untergrundes geeignet ist. Durch den Spachtel können Verunreinigungen und Unebenheiten beseitigt werden, so dass anschließend die Bodenpaneele auf den möglichst ebenen Untergrund aufgelegt werden können. Der Spachtel ist zudem auch geeignet, um Leimreste, die während des Verleimens der Paneele aus den Stoßfugen austreten, zu entfernen.The laying aid can also be provided with at least one tool for preparing the laying of the floor panels, which is suitable as a spatula for smoothing the substrate. Impurities and bumps can be removed with the spatula so that the floor panels can then be laid on the surface that is as level as possible. In addition, the spatula is also suitable for removing glue residues that emerge from the butt joints during the gluing of the panels.

Eine bevorzugte Verwendung der Verlegehilfe besteht schließlich darin, dass die flächige Form der Verleghilfe als Unterlage für den Verbindungsbereich zwischen zwei Seitenkanten eingesetzt wird. Insbesondere die kurzen Seitenkanten der Bodenpaneele bedürfen insbesondere bei der sogenannten Fold-Down-Technologie, also einem Verriegeln und Verrasten durch eine vertikale Bewegung, einer festen Unterlage, um das das Verbinden der Nut-Feder-Verbindung sicher zu ermöglichen. Die Verlegehilfe wird dazu vor dem Verbinden unterhalb des Verbindungsbereiches angeordnet und nach der Fertigstellung der Verbindung wieder entfernt. Dadurch können beim Verbinden der Bodenpaneele Unebenheiten des Untergrundes oder zu weiche Untergründe ausgeglichen werden.A preferred use of the laying aid is finally that the flat shape of the laying aid is used as a support for the connection area between two side edges. In particular, the short side edges of the floor panels require in particular in the so-called fold-down technology, so a locking and locking by a vertical movement, a solid surface to allow the connection of the tongue and groove connection safely. The laying aid is arranged to connect below the connection area and removed after the completion of the connection. As a result, when connecting the floor panels unevenness of the ground or too soft surfaces can be compensated.

Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen eine Verlegehilfe 2 in zwei verschiedenen Ansichten, bei der mehrere erfindungsgemäße Merkmale ausgebildet sind. Fig. 1 and 2 show a laying aid 2 in two different views, in which a plurality of inventive features are formed.

Die Verlegehilfe 2 besteht aus einem flächigen Grundkörper 4 aus Metall, in dem Hilfsmittel zum Markieren eines Bodenpaneels und Hilfsmittel zum Bearbeiten des Bodenpaneels ausgebildet sind.The laying aid 2 consists of a flat main body 4 made of metal, are formed in the aid for marking a floor panel and tools for editing the floor panel.

Ein Hilfsmittel zum Markieren des Bodenpaneels wird durch drei Kreisschablonen 6 mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern gebildet. Vorzugsweise betragen die Durchmesser 20, 25 und 30 mm.An aid for marking the floor panel is formed by three circle templates 6 with different diameters. Preferably, the diameters are 20, 25 and 30 mm.

Ein weiteres Hilfsmittel zum Markieren des Bodenpaneels wird durch zwei Längenmaßstäbe 8 gebildet, die an den beiden Längskanten des Grundkörpers 4 auf der Oberseite aufgedruckt sind.Another aid for marking the floor panel is formed by two length scales 8, which are printed on the two longitudinal edges of the base body 4 on the top.

Des Weiteren wird ein Hilfsmittel zum Markieren des Bodenpaneels durch ein Winkelmaß gebildet. Dazu weist der Grundkörper in einer ersten Ausgestaltung an einer kurzen Seitenkante eine zur Unterseite hin umgebördelte Kante 10 auf, deren Innenseite zur Anlage an einer Seitenkante eines Paneels geeignet ist. Da die Form des Grundkörpers 4 im Bereich der Kante 10 rechteckig ausgebildet ist, verlaufen die Längskanten in einem rechten Winkel zur Seitenkante des Paneels, wenn die Kante 10 der Verlegehilfe an der Seitenkante des Paneels anliegt. Diese Position ist in Fig. 3 dargestellt. In dieser Position dient die Verlegehilfe als Winkeleisen.Furthermore, an aid for marking the floor panel is formed by an angular dimension. For this purpose, the base body in a first embodiment on a short side edge on a flanged towards the bottom edge 10, the inside of which is suitable for bearing against a side edge of a panel. Since the shape of the base body 4 is rectangular in the area of the edge 10, the longitudinal edges run at a right angle to the side edge of the panel when the edge 10 of the laying aid rests against the side edge of the panel. This position is in Fig. 3 shown. In this position, the laying aid serves as an angle iron.

In einer zweiten Ausgestaltung weist der Grundkörper zwei längliche Ausnehmungen 11 auf, die unter einem vorgegebenen Winkel, hier von 45° zur Längskante ausgebildet sind. Damit können Linien auf das Bodenpaneel aufgezeichnet werden, insbesondere für das Einbringen von Aussparungen für Heizungsrohre.In a second embodiment, the base body has two elongated recesses 11, which are formed at a predetermined angle, here of 45 ° to the longitudinal edge. Thus lines can be recorded on the floor panel, in particular for the introduction of recesses for heating pipes.

Der Grundkörper weist weiterhin eine Mehrzahl von Markierungslöchern 12 auf, die in einem Raster von 5 mm gemessen von der kurzen Seitenkante angeordnet sind. Die Markierungslöcher dienen dazu, dass der Bodenverleger einen Stift durch das Markierungsloch steckt und durch eine seitliche Bewegung der Verlegehilfe parallel zur Seitenkante eine Linie auf dem Bodenpaneel aufzeichnet.The main body further has a plurality of marking holes 12, which in a grid of 5 mm measured from the short side edge are arranged. The marking holes serve to cause the floor installer to insert a pin through the marking hole and to record a line on the floor panel by lateral movement of the laying guide parallel to the side edge.

Des Weiteren ist eine Spitze 13 als Hilfsmittel zum Bearbeiten des Bodenpaneels vorgesehen, die zum Entfernen von Verunreinigungen aus einem Verriegelungsprofil geeignet ist. Die Spitze 13 ist dabei so dimensioniert, dass sie problemlos und sicher eingesetzt werden kann. Eine solche Anwendung der Verlegehilfe 2 ist in Fig. 4 dargestellt.Furthermore, a tip 13 is provided as an aid for processing the floor panel, which is suitable for removing contaminants from a locking profile. The tip 13 is dimensioned so that it can be used easily and safely. Such an application of the laying aid 2 is in Fig. 4 shown.

Die Oberfläche des Grundkörpers 4 weist in einem Bereich eine raue Oberfläche 14 auf, die einem Schleifen eines Teils des Bodenpaneels dienen kann. Somit können insbesondere nach einem Ablängen eines Bodenpaneels vorstehende Fasern entfernt oder leichte Beschädigungen geglättet oder behoben werden.The surface of the base body 4 has a rough surface 14 in an area, which can serve to grind a part of the floor panel. Thus, in particular following a cutting to length of a floor panel protruding fibers can be removed or smoothed or smoothed minor damage.

An die Spitze 13 schließt sich zur einen Seite eine Schneide 15 an, die ebenfalls ein Hilfsmittel zur Vorbereitung der Verlegung der Bodenpaneele darstellt. Denn die Schneide 15 eignet sich insbesondere zum Öffnen eines Bodenpaneele enthaltenden Pakets, so dass ein sicheres und beschädigungsfreies Öffnen des Pakets möglich ist.To the top 13 is followed by a cutting edge 15 on the one hand, which also represents a tool for preparing the laying of the floor panels. Because the cutting edge 15 is particularly suitable for opening a package containing floor panels, so that a secure and damage-free opening of the package is possible.

Zusätzlich schließt sich zur anderen Seite der Spitze 13 ein Spachtel 16 an, der als Hilfsmittel zur Vorbereitung der Verlegung der Bodenpaneele zum Glätten des Untergrundes ausgebildet ist. Somit kann der Bodenverleger vor dem Auflegen der Paneele den Untergrund reinigen und/oder ebnen. Fig. 5 zeigt schließlich eine Verwendung der Verleghilfe an sich, bei der die Verlegehilfe unter den Verbindungsbereich zwischen zwei Paneele gelegt wird, in dem zwei Paneele miteinander mechanisch entlang deren Verbindungskanten verbunden werden sollen. Die Verlegehilfe 2 wird dazu unterhalb der noch nicht verriegelten kurzen Seitenkante einer bereits verlegten Bodenpaneele 18 angeordnet, so dass dieses Ende des Paneels 18 stabilisiert ist und die Verriegelung des neuen Paneels an dieser Seitenkante durch die erhöhte Stabilität vereinfacht und zuverlässiger möglich wird.In addition, to the other side of the tip 13, a spatula 16 adjoins, which is designed as an aid for preparing the laying of the floor panels for smoothing the substrate. Thus, the floor installer can clean and / or level the ground before laying the panels. Fig. 5 shows finally a use of the laying aid per se, in which the laying aid is placed under the connection area between two panels, in which two panels are to be mechanically connected to each other along their connecting edges. The laying aid 2 is arranged below the not yet locked short side edge of an already laid floor panel 18, so that this end of the panel 18 is stabilized and the locking of the new panel is simplified at this side edge by the increased stability and reliable possible.

Schließlich weist die Verlegehilfe noch eine Öffnung auf, die als Flaschenöffner dienen kann. Auch diese Funktion dient einer Vorbereitung oder einem Weiterführen des Verlegens von Bodenpaneelen.Finally, the laying aid still has an opening that can serve as a bottle opener. This function also serves to prepare or continue the laying of floor panels.
