Description
15 20 25 30 35 '#57 737 van utgöres av en fjäder resp. en not utformade efter var- andra och att sammanfogningsorganen i de återstående båda motstående sidorna vardera utgöres av en fals. 15 20 25 30 35 '# 57 737 van consists of a spring resp. a groove formed one after the other and that the joining means in the remaining two opposite sides each consist of a seam.
Företrädesvis utgöres vardera falsen av en nedskärning till skivans halva tjocklek, men mindre avvikelser härifrån är även tänkbara, varvid den ena nedskärningen göres något grundare än halva skivtjockleken och den andra nedskärningen i motsvarande grad djupare- Enligt en föredragen utföringsform är falsarna placerade på skivans kortsidor.Preferably, each seam consists of a cut to half the thickness of the disc, but minor deviations therefrom are also conceivable, one cut being made slightly shallower than half the thickness of the disc and the other cut correspondingly deeper.
Uppfinningen och de fördelar denna medför i förhållande till tidigare teknik kommer i det följande att belysas när- mare under hänvisning till bifogade ritning, där ' fig. 1 i en ovanvy illustrerar sammanfogning av en spån- skiva med redan monterade skivor i ett golv med användning av känd teknik, fig. 2 visar i en sidvy en detalj av fogtypen med fjäder och not enligt teknikens ståndpunkt och _ fig. 3 visar i en sidvy en detalj av en fog åstadkommen vid två skivor enligt föreliggande uppfinning.The invention and the advantages it entails over prior art will be further elucidated in the following with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 in a top view illustrates joining of a chipboard with already mounted boards in a floor using of prior art, Fig. 2 shows in a side view a detail of the joint type with spring and groove according to the prior art and Fig. 3 shows in a side view a detail of a joint provided with two boards according to the present invention.
Fig. 1 visar tillvägagångssättet, när en skiva 1 skall fogas till redan monterade skivor i ett golv. Först föres skivan 1 i riktning A och slås vid kortsidan ihop med en redan monterad skiva för etablering av kortfogen. Därefter förskjutes skivan 1 izriktning B för att få långfogen tät.Fig. 1 shows the procedure when a board 1 is to be joined to already mounted boards in a floor. First, the disc 1 is moved in direction A and folded at the short side together with an already mounted disc for establishing the card joint. Then the disc 1 is displaced in direction B to make the long joint tight.
Om passningen i kortfogen härvid är tät, blir friktionen mellan skivorna så stor, att förflyttningen i riktning-B omöjliggöres.If the fit in the joint is tight, the friction between the discs becomes so great that the movement in direction-B is impossible.
I fig. 2 visas den etablerade fogtypen med fjäder 2 och not 3. Vid användning av denna fogtyp i kortfogen vid en sammanfogning enligt fig. 1 behövs enligt praktisk erfaren- het ett glapp på minimum 0,5 mm i fogen av denna typ för att monteringen skall kunna genomföras någorlunda friktionsfritt.Fig. 2 shows the established joint type with spring 2 and note 3. When using this type of joint in the joint at a joint according to Fig. 1, according to practical experience, a gap of at least 0.5 mm in the joint of this type is needed to the assembly must be able to be carried out fairly frictionlessly.
Härigenom uppkommer fogrörelser med de nackdelar detta med- för (jfr ovan).As a result, joint movements arise with the disadvantages this entails (cf. above).
I fig. 3 visas en fog mellan två skivor 1' resp. 1" ligt uppfinningen. en- vardera skivan uppvisar som sammanfog- 10 15 4.57 73-7 ' ningsorgan en fals 4' resp. 4" och skivorna har lagts sam- man sâ, att en omlottliggande fog har erhållits. Fogen är placerad över en regel 5, till vilken skivorna i', 1" har fästs med hjälp av en spik 6 gående genom fogen.Fig. 3 shows a joint between two discs 1 'resp. 1 "according to the invention. Each disc has as a joining member a seam 4 'and 4" respectively 4 "and the discs have been folded together so that a circumferential joint has been obtained. The joint is placed over a rule 5, to which the discs in ', 1 "have been attached by means of a nail 6 passing through the joint.
Genom att vid golvmontering enligt fig. 1 använda skivor enligt uppfinningen med falsar vid kortsidorna erhålles en fog som även i ihopslaget skick lätt låter sig förskjutas i sidled. Limmad och spikad eller skruvad mot regel blir en fog av denna typ alltid tät och tillåter inga fogrörelser.By using panels according to the invention with folds at the short sides in floor mounting according to Fig. 1, a joint is obtained which, even in the folded condition, can easily be displaced laterally. Glued and nailed or screwed to a rule, a joint of this type is always tight and does not allow joint movements.
I och med att man löst problemet med sidoförskjutningen av kortskarvarna kan en fjäder- och notprofil enligt fig. 2 för långsidorna göras med absolut passning, varigenom även här fogrörelser elimineras.By solving the problem of the lateral displacement of the short joints, a spring and tongue profile according to Fig. 2 for the long sides can be made with absolute fit, whereby also here joint movements are eliminated.
Den begränsning det innebär, att falsfogen måste under- stödjas av regel, är i själva verket en förbättring, eftersom Planverket kräver att kortfogar skall falla över regel.The restriction that this means that the rebate joint must be supported by a rule is in fact an improvement, since the National Planning Agency requires that joint joints fall over a rule.
Avsteg frmidetta omöjliggöres med den föreslagna konstruk- tionen med falsar vid kortändarna.Deviations from this are made impossible with the proposed construction with seams at the short ends.
