Definitions

  • the invention relates to a panel, in particular floor panel, comprising a hull with at least one layer of plastic, complementary locking means which are provided in pairs on opposite panel edges, so that several of these panels are locked together, at least one pair of locking means with hook profiles, namely a receiving hook and this opposite a locking hook, with the proviso that the receiving hitch rumpffern arranged a hook edge and fuselage arranged arranged a receiving recess, wherein the receiving recess is open to the top, that the locking hook is provided with a rumpfierr arranged and open to the bottom locking recess and has a fuselage arranged Arretierabsatz, which fits in the vertical joining direction in the receiving recess of the receiving hook that the locking hook a fuselage joint surface and also hull a vertically acting locking contour in that the receiving hook has closer to the joint surface and also closer to the fuselage a form-fitting contour which mates with the locking-far locking contour of the locking hook, so that a vertical locking can be effected,
  • the hook profiles of the known panel are matched to the material from which the hull of the panel is formed. It can catch such panels that have a hull made of a flexible and elastic plastic material.
  • the locking contour, which is provided below the joint surface of the locking hook has areas which protrude with respect to the plane of the joint surface and other areas which are opposite to the plane of the joint surface.
  • the positive locking contour, which is provided below the joint surface of the receiving hook has regions which protrude with respect to the plane of the joint surface, and other regions which protrude from the plane of the joint surface.
  • the mentioned protruding and receding portions of the positive locking contour and the locking contour form undercuts, which counteract a movement apart of the two hook profiles in a direction perpendicular to the panel plane (vertical).
  • the locking contour and the positive locking contour are pressed against each other and against each other. They must be elastically deformed.
  • the Arretierkontur and the positive locking contour are soft elastic and can be brought in this way in positive contact with each other.
  • the maximum amount of undercut is limited due to the soft elastic nature of the plastic material. The effect of vertical locking is unsatisfactory.
  • a generic panel with hook profiles of a plastic material is from the EP 2 339 092 A1 known.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the panel so that the variety of plastic materials that are used for the trunk increases, and the effect of vertical locking is improved as possible.
  • the object is achieved in that hull rap on the hook edge of the receiving hook, a resilient locking tab is provided, and that the locking recess has a recess near the fuselage, which fits together with the resilient locking tab.
  • the hook profiles come at the beginning of the joining path into engagement, without being already deformed elastically at the Engriffsstelle. Only with further progress of the joining movement come the undercut areas of Arretierkontur and form-fitting contour at the point of engagement in such a way that an elastic deformation is effected, wherein for the purpose of elastic Deformation specially provided the bending web.
  • the Arretierkontur and the positive locking contour are also pressed and deformed, but the harder and brittle the plastic material of the fuselage, the lower the elastic deformation of Arretierkontur and form-fitting contour and the higher the proportion of elastic deformation of the bending web.
  • the form-fitting contour can, for example, have a latching element which protrudes further than in the prior art, and the arresting contour has a detent recess complementary to the latching element, which is deeper than in the prior art.
  • the Arretierkontur and form-fitting contour can be easily brought into engagement, because of the bend designed to bend elastically and this bend allows widening of the receiving opening. The locking contour and form-fitting contour can thus be moved past each other without strong own deformation until they are engaged.
  • the plastic layer of the hull or core may be formed of a soft and elastic plastic material, such as a thermoplastic polymer, for example polyolefin, polypropylene, polyurethane or polyamide.
  • a soft plastic material and so-called soft PVC comes into question.
  • This is a polyvinyl chloride containing plasticizer.
  • PVC is an amorphous elastomer that has a natural hardness and brittleness that can only be reduced by the plasticizers.
  • the panel is designed so that it is also possible, the plastic layer of the core of a plastic material with natural hardness and brittleness to produce, for example, an amorphous elastomer, such as PVC, which contains no or only a small amount of plasticizer.
  • a plastic material with natural hardness and brittleness for example, an amorphous elastomer, such as PVC, which contains no or only a small amount of plasticizer.
  • the thickness of the panels according to the invention is 3 to 10 mm, preferably 4 to 8 mm, particularly preferably 5 to 6 mm.
  • the basis weight of the panels is between 1 and 2.5 kg / m 2 , preferably between 1.6 and 1.8 kg / m 2 .
  • the hull Due to the hulls invention provided on the hook edge of the receiving hook resilient locking tab and the Arreti Lucasssparung, the hull has a recess which mates with the resilient locking tab, a second point is created within the hook connection, by elastic deformation of a designated and prepared area, namely the resilient locking tab, to fit into each other.
  • the resilient locking tab causes together with the locking recess also a locking of the two hook profiles in the vertical direction, that is perpendicular to the plane of the locked panels.
  • the elastic properties of the hull can be exploited if the resilient locking tab is formed integrally with the hull. If the hull is formed of a relatively hard plastic material, this favors inter alia the production of the resilient snap-in tab by machining production methods, such as milling.
  • the resilient locking tab is rooted on the fuselage side of the hook edge and the free end of the resilient locking tab is inclined from the hook edge, for example, obliquely downwards.
  • the resilient locking tab is always arranged so that a contact with the complementary hook profile produces a compression of the integral locking tab, which moves it closer to the trunk of her panel.
  • the resilient locking tab hulls a Sliding surface on. This comes during a vertical joining movement in contact with the locking hook. By this contact, the resilient locking tab is moved closer to the hook edge of the receiving hook. It is stretched elastically in this way and releases the Fügeweg. The locking hook can then be inserted further into the receiving hook until both panels are in one plane.
  • a free space may be provided, in which the locking tab can resiliently spring.
  • the elastic bias allows the resilient locking tab to spring back toward its neutral position when space is available.
  • the latching recess expediently has a latching contact surface. This causes by contact with the resilient locking tab locking of connected panels in the vertical direction.
  • the latching contact surface is designed so that it forms a stop bevel for the free end of the resilient latching tab.
  • the stop bevel is designed so that the tensioned locking tab, when it springs back in the direction of its neutral position, abuts against this stop slope. It can be further arranged so that the latching tab abuts before it reaches its neutral position, so that there is always a residual tension in the latching tab, which serves to secure locking.
  • the locking paragraph has on its fuselage side as a sliding slope to be designated oblique sliding surface.
  • the sliding bevel is expediently designed so that it cooperates with that region of the form-fitting contour that protrudes. This projecting from the joint plane region of the positive locking contour, for example, forms a protruding locking element.
  • the protruding area acts with the sliding slope of Arretierabsatzes together. As soon as the sliding bevel comes into contact with the protruding region, for example the detent element, it slides along the detent element. As a result, first the joint surfaces of receiving hook and locking hooks are moved apart.
  • the horizontal locking surface of the locking hook exerts a force which presses against the horizontal locking surface of the receiving hook.
  • This introduced into the horizontal locking surface of the receiving hook force is transmitted to the bending web of the receiving hook, which is thereby bent elastically.
  • the locking contour passes the form-fitting contour until both have reached a position in which they fit together in a form-fitting manner.
  • the bending stress in the bending web via the horizontal locking surface of the receiving hook exerts a force which biases the joint surface of the locking hook again in the direction of the joint surface of the receiving hook. So a closed joint can be achieved.
  • the horizontal locking surfaces of the two hook profiles are then preferably folded against each other.
  • the degree of bending of the bending web can be influenced.
  • the generated bending stress can be adjusted so that the plastic material is not overloaded in the region of the bending web and takes no damage.
  • a pair of the complementary locking means is formed as pivoting profiles. It is namely a groove profile with undercut a groove wall and a spring profile provided with undercut a spring side.
  • the hook profile of the new panel can be locked with the hook profile of a panel in the same row of panels.
  • the locking hook of the new panel is lowered in a scissors-like motion essentially in a vertical plane and inserted into the receiving hook.
  • the scissor-like movement of the Arretierabsatz initially projects only at one end of the panel edge into the receiving opening.
  • the locking shoulder comes step by step into the receiving opening.
  • the resulting elastic deformation of the bending web also increases step by step.
  • the panels are finally in a plane, the locking contour and the form-fitting contour are exactly fitted, the joint surfaces touch and form a closed joint.
  • the bending stress of the bending web is eliminated again and the horizontal locking surfaces of the two hook profiles nestle flat against each other.
  • the area of use can be expanded if a decorative layer is provided on the top side of the panel.
  • a transparent cover layer is provided, through which the cover layer is visible.
  • the transparent cover layer serves to protect the decorative layer. It may be provided with means that reduce wear, such as corundum particles, glass particles, etc. Moreover, it may be useful if a Gegenzug Mrs is provided on the underside of the panel. This acts as a balance to the layers provided at the top to counteract a distortion of the panel.

  • the locking counteracts a reversal of the joining movement.
  • the panels 1 and 2 can not be released from each other in a backward movement so after locking.
