Description

Panels and Flooring {PANEL AND FLOOR COVERING}

The present invention relates to a panel having a wear surface and four edges, wherein pairs of edges facing each other of the four edges correspond to each other so that the same type of panel can be connected at all four edges. Retaining profile, wherein the retaining profile of the first edge pair can be connected by angling-in, and the retaining profile of the second edge pair is a complementary hook member. And similar adjacent panels are connected to each of the hook members essentially by engagement movement in a plane of motion perpendicular to the plane of the panel, and at least one hook member of the second edge pair projects at least essentially into the engagement path of the hook member. A separate vertical locking member is provided, wherein the vertical locking member It can be moved out of the engagement path automatically during the engagement movement of the hook members of the two panels to release, and can be automatically moved back into the engagement path by spring action in the hooked state of the hook member.

The present invention also relates to a flooring composed of a plurality of panels according to the present invention.

Panels of the above mentioned type are known from WO 03/016654 A1 (Akzenta) and WO 2006/043893 A1 (Vaelinge). From both publications the person skilled in the art knows, for example, panels arranged in line, which are connected to each other in the seam area inside a series of panels. Known panels are advantageously arranged such that the joint areas of one panel row are spaced apart from the joint areas of the panels of adjacent rows. In the new row, the panels are connected to the previous row of panels by so-called bending inwards. The concept of bending inward refers to the joining method, in which a new panel is joined to the previous panel row with an edge, where the new panel is joined in a plane that is oblique to the plane of the previous panel row. While the new panel is pivoted down into the plane of the previous row of panels, the locking of the new panel is performed by angular movement.

If there is already a panel in the row in which the new panel is to be installed, the new panel is also connected with the panels in the same row simultaneously during the above-described movement of bending inward into the previous panel row. To this end, the mutually arranged retaining profiles of the edges for the connection of panels in the interior of the rows are formed as hook members, which hook members can move towards each other in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the panel, in this way Hook can be connected. The above mentioned movement in the vertical plane is a scissors movement. The scissors type movement may also be referred to as folding movement.

Known panels have a vertical locking member that automatically engages at least one hook member, which makes it difficult to disassemble the panel for disassembly, which causes the vertical locking member to move out of the locking position. This is because it cannot be moved or can only be moved out of the locked position using special tools. According to WO 03/016654 A1 the vertical locking member is disconnected from the side in order to be able to move the hooked panel again in a direction perpendicular to the panel again. WO 2006/043893 proposes to use a special tool instead of removing the vertical locking member, in which together with the special tool the vertical locking member must be moved out of its locking position and thus perpendicular to the plane of the panel. Detachable movement is possible. The special tool is a kind of needle, which is inserted into the gap in which the vertical locking member is located at the side. At this time, it is necessary to forcibly move a special tool, such as a needle whose upper and lower surfaces are distinguished, exactly around the gap in which the vertical locking member is located. A third method of unlocking is to separate and move the connected hook member in the panel plane, ie parallel to the hooked edge. The latter method, however, is disadvantageous for panels in which large static friction prevails between the hook members, which can only be transferred with great force consumption.

An object of the present invention is to provide a panel that can be easily assembled, and to simplify the disassembly of the flooring material assembled into a conventional panel.

According to the present invention, the object is that the vertical locking member is made of plastic, and the complementary hook member is such that when two panels are connected, the panel can be released from its hooked and vertically locked state. Formed, at least one panel of the hooked edge It can be pivoted in a direction to reach an unlocked position about an axis placed in the area, wherein the wear surfaces of the panels in the unlocked position are made by having an angle of less than 180 ° with respect to each other.

With the panel according to the present invention, there is no need to remove the vertical locking member from the connection, and no special tool is required to make the locking function of the vertical locking member invalid for the purpose of disassembling the flooring material. According to the present invention, the hook member is formed such that the panel is separated when one panel of panels no longer has a connection to the adjacent rows of panels. If a panel of panels is to be separated from each other, this panel row must first be released from its connection with the adjacent panel rows. The panels of the same panel row can then be disassembled from each other by turning the panel, which is still connected to only one end inside the row, pivoting upwards at the end and the previous panel to which the panel should be separated does not move.

Since the connection of the new panel to the previous panel column starts at the same time as connecting the new panel to the panel existing in the same column, these connection processes can influence each other. That is, for example, it may be desirable if the adjustment of the position between the hookable edges with the scissors-type movement (folding movement) of the new panel is started. This then requires a sliding movement inside the intertwined inwardly bent edges of the first edge pair of panels involved to bring the hooked edge of the second edge pair to the desired position during the folding movement. The hook member can be formed so that its shape can cause automatic placement of its edges. The automatic placement is then performed by the folding movement of the new panel.

The panel according to the present invention can be formed, for example, as planks, parquet panels or laminated panels, as a result of which it can be composed of solid wood or can be provided with a core material. The core material may be a wood material, which consists of naturally grown wood parts such as, for example, a blockboard made of block-shaped wood pieces, a composite plate made of wood layers or plywood. On the other hand, a fiber material may also be provided as the core material. The fiber material refers to wood which is first divided into fibers and then processed into wood fiber material such as MDF, HDF, plywood or OSB by mixing of the bonding means. Of course, other materials are also suitable for the panel according to the invention, such as solid plastic or at least as a core material.

If the panel comprises a core material, the panel is laminated and generally has a wear surface with decorative properties.

The invention is particularly helpful if the panel comprises a core material made of a fiberless wood material or a fiberless grown wood material such as solid wood. Retaining profiles, in particular hook members made of grown solid wood or made of fiber-free wood material, have a high adhesion between each other due to their surface properties in the locked state and can be difficult to slide apart. This has the consequence that the above mentioned third method of unlocking known from the prior art is disadvantageous for such panels. The unlocking method according to the present invention is therefore particularly practical for panels made of solid wood or for panels with a core material, said core material being a fiber-free wood material in the sense of the present invention.

Corresponding to the purpose, the retaining profile of the first edge pair has an undercut groove profile at one edge and a complementary tongue profile at the opposite edges, the profile being It can be connected to each other by bending inwards. Many of these undercut groove profiles and tongue profiles are known from the prior art, the profiles being connectable by bending inwards, and thus the profiles are suitable for panels according to the present invention. Therefore, known retaining profile geometries can be installed in the first edge pair and combined with the hook member according to the present invention in the second edge pair.

It should be mentioned for completeness that the hook members of the two panels can always be connected when the two panels to be connected are in the plane of the cavity. To this end, the hook members of one panel lie in a straight line and lie behind the hook members of adjacent panels, so that the cross-sections of the hook members lie exactly straight. The edges on which the hook members are installed are then mixed with each other until the edges are covered on the desired length of the panel. For this installation method, reference is made to FIG. 44 of DE 10 2006 011 887 which shows an example. In this example, the edges 32 of the panel 30b lie in a straight line in the direction of the arrow and are assembled with the edges of the panel 30a. In some cases, it is necessary to slightly press the elastic vertical locking member protruding from the edge so that the vertical locking member is brought correspondingly to fit in the adjacent panel at the start of the straight alignment movement.

At least one of the edge pairs is provided with a corresponding hook member, each hook member of the hook member having at least one undercut surface, wherein the undercut surfaces of both hook members are hooked with two panels in the undercut state. It is advantageous if the faces are disposed and placed on and in contact with the cavity's unlock curve, and the undercut faces can move away from one another and towards each other on the cavity's unlock curve.

Since no stress due to deformation of the retaining profile of the panel occurs at all, or at most some stress, the placement of the undercut surface on the unlock curve assists in disassembling the panel.

The handling of the panel can be improved if the hook member can be placed on the base for the purpose of connecting the adjacent panel to the complementary hook member, wherein the panel that can be placed on the base is stationary and engaged with the adjacent panel. The movement can be effected to cause engagement of the hook members of the two panels, with the vertical locking member being preferably installed on the hook member located at the edge of the stationary panel.

When a vertical locking member is disposed on the stationary lower panel, it has been found that the hook member can be hooked up to make the user feel better. This also has the advantage that if the vertical locking member is arranged in the lower panel, the vertical locking member can be more visible for the user. Therefore, it is helpful if the movement of the vertical locking member undertaken by the engagement movement of the hook member caused by the user is recognizable for the user.

For easy handling of the panel, the vertical locking member can move elastically. Elastic movability can be made by the elastic properties of the vertical locking member itself.

If core materials made of high density fiberboard (HDF) or medium density fiberboard (MDF) are installed, the panel has been found to be particularly desirable. This core material is made from wood chips that are mixed with a binder and crushed into small pieces. The wood parts can be cut very well and have sufficient strength properties to install the retaining profile according to the present invention and add a separate vertical locking member. However, as mentioned above, the panel may be composed of other materials as well.

In brief, the retaining profile of the panel is integrally formed in the core material. This can be done, for example, by machining.

It is proposed a flooring having a plurality of compatible panels of the type described above, wherein the panels are connected to each other.

According to a particular implementation of the flooring, the individual panels can be unlocked with little wear for the purpose of disassembling the flooring, and the unlocked panels can be connected back to the flooring. The panel installed for this purpose relates to one of the above-described embodiments of the panel, wherein the panel can be unlocked with little wear.

From the publications WO 2006/043893 A1 and WO 2006/104436 A1 an elastic and automatically acting locking member is known. Locking members that inhibit only the separating movement of the panel perpendicular to the panel plane-vertical locking members-are usually available for the present invention. The aforementioned vertical locking member is included in the description herein for publications WO 2006/043893 A1 and WO 2006/104436 A1 and as a vertical locking member according to the independent claims.

Hereinafter, several embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the section-by-section drawing.

In Fig. 1, the started flooring material B made of a panel according to the present invention is shown. By section, you can see two panel rows (R1, R2) made of the same kind of panels (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

The panel 2 according to the present invention exhibits a rectangular shape. The panel is provided with a wear surface N, and retaining profiles 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d are arranged at four edges of the panel 2. Panel 2 has two edge pairs. Each edge pair is formed by two edges facing each other, the edges being provided with corresponding retaining profiles. In this example, the panel 2 has two long edges 2a and 2b in parallel and two short edges 2c and 2d, each of which lies parallel. At the short edges 2c, 2d of the panel 2, the panel is connected with additional panels 1, 3 lying in the same row R1. The marking of the edge is applied to the remaining panels 1, 3, 4, 5 in the same way. At the long edge 2b the panel is connected with the panels 4, 5 of the subsequent panel row R2. Each installed row of panels can each incorporate a new series of panels. This is preferably done by combining individual panels by the stepwise construction of new panel rows.

1 shows how the panel 5 is connected to the panels 2 and 3 of the previous panel row R1 by bending inward as a new panel. The new panel 5 is shown in a plane arranged obliquely with respect to the plane of panels 2, 3 of the previous panel row R1. The long edge 5a of the new panel 5 is located against the long edges 2b, 3b of the panels 2, 3 of the previous row R1. The retaining profiles of the first edge pair inserted at the long edge are automatically locked to each other by pivoting the new panel 5 downward into the plane of the panels of the previous row R1. The retaining profile of the long edge of the panel then prevents the separation movement of the panel in the plane of the cavity, ie perpendicular to the long edge.

At the same time, the inward bending also leads to a connection between the short edge 4d of the panel 4 and the short edge 5c of the new panel 5 already lying in the same panel row R2. The inward bending causes the shearing movement to begin at the short edge 4d / 5c, which moves the short edge 4d of the panel 4 on which the short edge 5c of the new panel 5 is placed. Move toward. With regard to the locking of the short edges, the inward bending is also referred to as folding movement.

2A-2E are known from the prior art and show the shape of a retaining profile suitable for inward bending.

Generally, the groove edges A of the previous panel rows are installed for subsequent connection of the panel rows. Therefore, in general, the edges of the new panels with tongues B installed are respectively joined to the groove edges A of the previous panel rows, wherein the new panels are arranged in an oblique plane as shown in FIG. 1. The groove edge has at least one undercut face A1, and the tongue edge has one undercut face B1, the undercut face being locked in the panel plane, ie the locked groove edge ( Perpendicular to the A) and tongue edges (B) Retards the detachment of the panel. The wear surface N is provided in the upper surface of the said panel.

The panel according to FIGS. 3A-4B has a core material made of wood fiber material. The retaining profile may be composed of the core material or milled over an edge with a special edge material.

The retaining profile in FIGS. 3 a-4b is shown in the form of hook members 6a, 7a. This hook member is at least a panel 1, 2, 3, according to FIG. 1, which can be assembled with adjacent panels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 of the same kind by means of scissors movement (folding movement). 4, 5) edge pairs. Therefore, all examples of the hook member of FIGS. 3a to 4b are for the edge 2c / 2d of the panel 2 according to FIG. 1 or the edge which should be hooked up of the panel 4, 5 of the same kind according to FIG. 1. Suitable for (4d / 5c).

However, as will be explained below, the use of the hook members 6a, 7a of FIGS. 3A-4B for the shearing engagement movement is not the only possible engagement manner.

The preferred joining method is common in all the embodiments according to FIGS. 3A-4B, in which the new panel 7 is clearly shown by the upper hook member 7a, which is shown in broken lines section by section in FIG. 3A. The movement in the manner moves towards the lower hook member 6a of the adjacent panel 6 and is connected with the hook member. In the following, always, the hook member facing the wear surface N is referred to as the upper hook member 7a and the complementary hook member is correspondingly referred to as the lower hook member 6a.

In FIGS. 3A and 4A, denoted 'a', on the one hand, the panel which is movable in a scissors manner is shown by the upper hook member 7a in broken line; On the other hand, the fully hooked positions of the upper hook member 7a in the lower hook member 6a are each shown by a complete line. In the hooked position, the vertical locking member 8 disposed inside the connection automatically engages and prevents the separating movement of both panels 6, 7 perpendicular to the panel plane.

The undercut face 6b is provided on the hook member 6a so that the panels 6, 7 are not moved even in the panel plane, i.e., vertically with respect to the hooked edge, and the undercut face is the undercut face of the panel 7. Interact with (7b).

In order to again disconnect the connected state shown in FIG. 3A, the panel 7, shown in broken line in accordance with FIG. 3A, is pivoted up to an oblique position according to FIG. 3B and in this way brought to the unlocked position. The pivot movement is done around a pivot axis arranged parallel to the hook members 6a / 7a or on the unlock curve V1 or V2, which unlock curve is circular in this embodiment, but in circular form. You can also get away from it. In the unlocked position, the wear surface N of both panels 6, 7 has an angle of less than 180 degrees.

A panel member pivoted upwards for the purpose of unlocking is pivoted upwards far away to prevent the separating movement of both panels 6, 7 in the panel plane, ie perpendicular to the hooked edge ( It is sufficient that the undercut surfaces 6b / 7b of 6a / 7a slide past each other far by the turning and the undercut surfaces 6b / 7b deviate from contact. The panel 7 can then be simply removed.

According to FIGS. 3A and 3B, a vertical locking member 8 is installed, the vertical locking member having a snap-in tab 8a which is elastically curved, which snap-in tab is shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. It can move elastically in the cross-sectional plane shown in 3b. The vertical locking member 8 has an insert 8b, together with the insert the vertical locking member seats in the recess 6c, which recess is installed at the edge of the hook member 6a for this purpose. do. In the present case, the recess 6c is formed in two stages with thinner and deeper areas and wider areas with less depth. In the opening of the recess, the snap-in tab 8a of the vertical locking member 8 protrudes from the edge of the hook member 6a. The elastic snap-in tab 8a projects up into the engagement path M, on which the hook member 7a, shown in broken line according to FIG. 3A, reaches the hooked position shown in FIG. 3A. Must be moved for The insert 8b of the vertical locking member 8 is in the hook member 6a of the panel 6 in a captive manner. Is placed.

The engagement path M of the upper hook member 7a is released by the pressure applied by the upper hook member 7a. After interruption of the pressure, the snap-in tab 8a of the vertical locking member 8 automatically moves back into the engagement path M by the stored spring energy and locks the engagement path.

The vertical locking member 8 is engaged so that construction dust which may be inside the hook connection can enter the area which does not interfere with the function of the vertical locking member 8 and the hook member 6a / 7a. Where the projecting into the path (M), the dust chamber area (S) is provided. The dust chamber region S can be installed in all the embodiments of FIGS. 3A-4B.

The lower hook member 6a has a joint surface b, which is in contact with the joint surface c of the upper hook member in a hooked state. The joint surfaces b and c thus joined to each other ensure that the surface of the flooring material B is free of gaps, since the wear surface N of the panel immediately follows the wear surface N of the adjacent panel. Of course, the edges between the joint face (b or c) and the wear face (N) can be chamfered or rounded.

A gap 1 is provided in the hooked state between the free outer edge of the lower hook member 6a and the region of the upper hook member 7a standing from the outer edge. When assembling the hook members 6a / 7a, the elastic and automatic engagement of the vertical locking member 8 is Can be felt by the user, which is This is because the engagement is the only resistance encountered during bond movement on the bond path (M).

Of the vertical locking member 8 which is automatically moved out of the engagement path M by the upper hook member 7a shown in broken lines during the engagement movement, ie pressed by the upper hook member 7a shown in broken lines. A snap-in recess 7c is provided at the outer edge of the upper hook member 7a so that the resilient snap-in tab 8a can cause engagement. The snap-in tab automatically moves elastically into the snap-in recess 7c and in this way again reaches the engagement path M of the upper hook member 7a. At this time, the snap-in tab 8a snaps to the inclined snap-in surface d of the snap-in recess 7c.

The undercut surfaces 6b / 7b of the hook members 6a, 7a are arranged such that the undercut surfaces lie on the unlock curve V. As shown in FIG. The undercut face of the hook member exhibits a cylindrical bent shape in this example. However, it is also possible to provide an undercut surface that is flat or otherwise bent. Then, if the panel is moved from the flat position to the unlocked position shown in Fig. 3B, the undercut surface will optionally be subjected to elastic deformation. The elastic deformation may be allowed unless the elastic deformation interferes with the function of the hook member.

The wear surface N of the panel 6 and the wear surface N of the panel 7 are located at the same height. The load of the wear surface N in the area | region of the upper hook member 7a presses the contact surface 7w of the upper hook member 7a onto the support surface 6w of the lower hook member 6a. In the hooked state of the hook members 6a / 7a, the contact surface 7w and the support surface 6w are in contact with each other, so that a height difference due to the hollow space between the contact surface 7w and the support surface 6w cannot occur. In addition, as shown by broken lines in FIG. 3A, a dust chamber region S may be provided in the contact surface, which applies to all the embodiments of FIGS. 3A to 4B.

Based on FIG. 3C, further objects are disclosed that provide for simple unlockability of hook connections. The panel with the hook members 6a, 7a thus modified has a particularly good rigidity when the panel is separated and moved vertically (horizontally) with respect to the hooked panel and the panel plane, ie with respect to the hooked edge. At this time, the undercut surfaces 6b / 7b which prevent the above-mentioned horizontal separation movement of the panels 6, 7 are no longer disposed on the unlock curve. However, unlocking is still possible according to the design of the undercut face 6b / 7b. Of course, this can be installed in all embodiments of the hook member according to FIG. 3A or 4A, if it is not important that the unlockability should be particularly simple and easy around the pivot axis or along the unlock curve.

Other embodiments are shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B. 3A and 3B differ in that the panel 6, in which the vertical locking member 8 is installed and which has the lower hook member 6a, at its free outer edge, has an upper hook of the adjacent panel 7. Contact with the edge moved behind the member 7a. In addition, an undercut contact surface 6d / 7d is provided, which reaches its locked position by elastic deformation as shown in FIG. 4A upon shearing engagement movement along the engagement path M. FIG. The contact surface 6d / 7d, in the assembled state, has a locking effect on the separating movement of the panels 6, 7 in the vertical plane in which the engagement movement begins.

In addition, the embodiment according to FIG. 4A differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 3A in the number of undercut surfaces of the hook member which prevents the separation movement of the panel (horizontally) in the panel plane, ie perpendicular to the hooked edge. . According to FIG. 4A, two undercut surfaces 6b and 6e or 7b and 7e are provided on each hook member 6a or 7a, which are arranged on two unlock curves V1 and V2. . By the provision of two successive undercut faces on each hook member 6a or 7a, a higher degree of separation movement of the panels 6, 7 in the horizontal direction, ie perpendicular to the hooked edges, is achieved. Resistance is realized.

4B makes it clear that the above-mentioned contact surfaces can slide past each other by bending inwards for the purpose of unlocking or for the connection of the hook members 6a and 7a.

1 is a view showing two rows of panels in which a new panel is bent inwardly.

2A-2E illustrate an embodiment of a retaining profile that can be bent inward of a first edge pair of panels.

3A and 3B and 4A and 4B can on the one hand be connected in a movement plane arranged essentially perpendicular to the panel plane by means of a combined movement, on the other hand locked by pivotal movement around the hooked edges. Two embodiments of corresponding hook members, which can be released, FIGS. 3A and 3B show a vertical locking member in the lower hook member, and FIGS. 4A and 4B show additional undercuts acting horizontally and vertically. 3A and 3B show an embodiment according to the present invention.

3C is an alternative form for a horizontally effective undercut face.
