Description
DECK UNIT FOR DECK FLOORS Technical FieldThe present invention relates to a deck unit intended for a deck floor or floor panel, which deck unit has a tongue and groove design.
Background There exists many know floor panels today. For instance, US 2007/004416 Aldiscloses a cover profile for forrning a walking surface, roof surface, wall, wall surfaceor retaining wall. The cover profile has a hollow profile body with a first longitudinaledge provided with a strip with holes for attachment and a second longitudinal edgeprovided with a space for accommodating an edge of the longitudinal strip of anadjacent profile element. Hence, the cover profile utilizes a tongue and groove systemfor enabling simple installation of the cover profile system.
As is known in the field, from for example US 2007/004416 A1, resilientmembers may be provided between adjacent profile elements to avoid incorrectinstallation by installers and to enable traverse expansion to avoid damage or buckling.
The tongue and groove system implemented in US 2007/004416 A1 provides atight fit disallowing water from entering the attachment holes of the profile elementsand leaking through the profile system to the underlying surface. The resilient memberis provided into the groove of the groove and tongue fit, thereby sealing the passage forwater to pass through.
In the field of outdoor floor panels there are challenges associated with providing a deck unit which is capable of handling particularly cold weather conditions.
Colder temperature causes water that has accumulated in crevasses or cavities in thedeck to freeze resulting in bending, cracking and warping of the deck units. Inparticular, the inventors has identified a need for a deck unit which is capable ofhandling colder weather while being easy and cost-efficient to install.One aim of the present invention is to provide a deck unit for floor panels, which deck unit has a tongue and groove mechanism and which is easy and cost- effective to install. A further aim of the present invention is to provide a deck unit for floor panels that are less susceptible to undesirable mechanical effects such as Warping, bending, cracking etc. due to challenging Weather conditions.
Summary The stated purpose above is achieved by a deck unit intended for a deck floor inWhich several deck units are locked With each other, said deck unit comprising a bio-composite material comprising a natural material and a plastic (polymeric) material,Wherein said deck unit has a first longitudinal side and a first latitudinal side each With aprotrusion and a second longitudinal side and a second latitudinal side each comprisinga receiving groove. The protrusion of the first longitudinal side and the first latitudinalside of one deck unit each has a locking fit into the receiving groove of the secondlongitudinal side and/or second latitudinal side of another deck unit, respectively. Thereceiving groove of the second longitudinal side has a rubber strip to control expansionand contraction.
The deck unit or panel is produced by an extrusion process and is composed of amixture of materials. The material used is natural material(s), such as Wood f1bers,Wood chips, straW, hay, rice husks or the like, and plastic material(s).
In an aspect, the plastic material may be in the forrn of a binder.
In an aspect, the deck unit may be made of the bio-composite material. A bio-composite is a composite material forrned by a matrix (resin) and a reinforcement ofnatural f1bers. These kind of materials often mimic the structure of the living materialsinvolved in the process keeping the strengthening properties of the matrix that Was used,but providing biocompatibility. The matrix phase is forrned by polymers derived fromreneWable and nonreneWable resources.
The present invention has several advantages. First of all, the deck units arepossible to put together Without any visible fastening means, such as clips or the like.This simplifies the installation, but also reduces material cost. As may be understoodfrom above, each deck unit may be exactly the same Which also simplifies installationand reduced the production costs. Furthermore, the locking of deck units one by oneaccording to the invention When mounted together forrn a smooth but tight fit. This creates a nice Walkable surface Without gaps on the upper side of a deck floor but also prevents Weeds from coming up through such gaps and stops rubbish, like dirt, leaves,food and other debris, from falling into such gaps.
In an aspect, the stated purpose is achieved without the use of mounting orsupporting clips.
Subject of the present invention is a deck unit and a deck floor having thefeatures set forth in the appended independent claims; preferred embodiments being defined in the related dependent claims.

Figure 2b shows a detailed cross sectional view of a strip groove of a deck unitaccording to one specific embodiment of the present invention.
Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view on part of two deck units according to the present invention, said deck units being connected to each other.
Description of Embodiments Below, some specific embodiments of the present invention are disclosed anddiscussed further.
As mentioned above, the receiving groove has a rubber strip to controlexpansion and contraction. The rubber strip may be arranged in different ways, such asglued in place or fixated inside of an extra groove. The latter altemative is shown in thefigures where the rubber strip is fixated into a strip groove inside of the larger receivinggroove. Such a rubber strip has one portion which is fixated into the strip groove andone part facing out from the groove. This latter part is the one that gets into contact withthe protrusion of one deck unit being locked into the receiving groove of another deck unit. Moreover, the rubber strip may have a more or less flexing shape or being of a rubber material having such a property. Preferably the rubber strip is arranged in theinnerrnost of the receiving grove to provide With a strong controlling effect.
The deck unit may further have a four-sided tongue groove connection. The firstlongitudinal side and the first latitudinal side of the deck unit may each have theprotrusion. The second longitudinal side and the second latitudinal side of the deck unitmay each comprise the receiving groove. The protrusion of the first longitudinal sideand the latitudinal side of one deck unit may each have a locking fit into the receivinggroove of the second longitudinal side and/or second latitudinal side of another deckunit, respectively. The receiving groove of the second longitudinal side has the rubberstrip to control expansion and contraction.
The first and second longitudinal and latitudinal sides may be considered firstand second side edges or side edge portions of the deck unit.
The deck unit may be considered as intended for a deck floor in Which severaldeck units are locked With each other Without the use of any mounting or supportingclips.
In one embodiment, the tongue groove connections of the first and secondlatitudinal side may be analogous to the tongue groove connection described above Withreference to the first and second longitudinal side of the deck profile.
Having more than two tongue groove connections is particularly challenging inthe field of outdoor decks due to the additional contact interfaces increasing the risk forthe deck profile bending and cracking due to the contact forces exerted on the deckprofile by the adj acent deck profile. With the receiving groove construction describedabove the rubber strip may mitigate such effects and further enable easier mounting.
To allow for a more flexible and easier to mount deck system, the receivinggroove of the second longitudinal side and the second latitudinal side may each havelocking fit With the protrusion of the first longitudinal side and/or latitudinal side ofanother deck unit.
In the past decks With four-sided tongue groove connections Without the use ofany mounting/ supporting clips has not been implemented due to the above described challenges as Well as the increased risk for Water getting trapped and freezing in the additional crevasses associated with the increased number of contact interfaces betweenthe deck units.
The rubber strip may be arranged to allow fluid passage through the locking fitof said receiving groove and the protrusion of the other deck unit. Thereby, water isallowed to pass from the deck surface in the space, i.e. through the locking fit, betweenthe deck profiles to the underlying surface undemeath the deck. This prevents waterfrom accumulating in the deck since the water is allowed to pass through the decksystem. Hence, the risk for the deck profiles bending, cracking and warping due towater inside the deck freezing is substantially reduced.
The rubber strip blocks or reduces dust and debris from passing through thedeck. However, the water is allowed to pass through due to the flexibility of the rubber.
Accordingly, the locking fit may be arranged to allow fluid passage between theupper surface and the bottom surface.
The rubber strip may be further arranged to provide a gap between the secondlongitudinal side and a first longitudinal side and/or the first latitudinal side of anotherdeck profile. Accordingly, the rubber strip may constitute a stop for the insertion of theprotrusion of the other deck unit into the groove thereby providing said gap. In otherwords, the rubber strip may be arranged to abut to the protrusion in the locking fit withanother deck unit to provide said gap between the second longitudinal side and the firstlongitudinal side of the other deck unit.
To mitigate the risk of accumulating water in the deck profile is particularlyimportant in four-sided tongue groove systems due to such system having additionalcontact interfaces. Further, due to each side of the deck unit having to provide a lockingfit, the deck unit is very susceptible to any undesired changes in the geometry of thedeck profile due to water freezing.
With the aforementioned arrangement of the rubber strip, water is allowed topass from the deck surface in the space i.e. through the locking fit, between the deckprofiles to the underlying surface undemeath the deck. This prevents water fromaccumulating in the deck profiles since the water is allowed to pass through the deck.Hence, the risk for the deck profiles bending, cracking and warping due to water inside the deck freezing is substantially reduced.
As previously described, the rubber strip may be arranged in the innerrnost ofthe receiving groove of the second longitudinal side. The rubber strip may be fixatedinto a strip groove inside of the receiving groove.
In one embodiment, the rubber strip has a first portion fixated into the stripgroove and a second portion facing out from the strip groove. The strip groove has aretention portion arranged to retain a corresponding retention part of the first portion.
The retention portion may be a narrow section of the strip groove facing, i.e.adj acent to, the receiving groove. The narrow section may thus be considered an outersection of the strip groove. An innerrnost section receiving the retention portion of thestrip groove may have a rounded inner edge. Altematively, said innerrnost section mayhave a straight inner edge.
To further enable the rubber strip to allow for fluid passage, the rubber strip mayhave a rounded outer edge. The rounded outer edge may be arranged to be adjacent tothe protrusion of another deck unit in the locking fit with the receiving groove. Hence,rounded outer edge of the rubber strip may be arranged to come into contact with theprotrusion of another deck unit.
The rounded outer edge provides for a smaller contact area between the rubberstrip and the protrusion of another deck unit. This allows for the natural flexibility of therubber to accommodate passage of water through the locking fit with an adj acent deckprofile. Preferably, the protrusion of the deck unit has a rounded outer edge. This allowsfor a small contact interface between the rubber strip and the protrusion that furthersafeguards the fluid passage between the deck units.
The rubber strip may further comprise an aperture extending along the rubberstrip. The aperture extends through the entire length of the rubber strip. The apertureallows for the rubber strip to deforrn inwards, i.e. towards the centre of the deck unit,upon coming into contact the protrusion of another deck unit. This makes the rubberstrip more susceptible to deformation and softer which increases the ability for therubber strip to allow for fluid passage between the deck units.
The second portion of the rubber strip may thus comprise the above describedaperture and the rounded outer edge. Further, the aperture may be in the form a slit extending through the second portion along the entirety of the rubber strip.
The aperture may form a first inner surface closer to the strip groove and anopposite second inner surface distant from the strip groove. The first inner surface of theaperture may be substantially planar and extending along the second longitudinal side.The second inner and opposite surface of the aperture may be arc shaped facingoutwardly from the strip groove. Worded differently, the second inner and oppositesurface may be rounded in an outWard direction. Said second inner and opposite surfacemay in curvature match the rounded outer edge of the rubber strip. Hence, the aperturemay have a substantially D-shaped cross-section. According to one specificembodiment, the protrusion of the first longitudinal side is longitudinal along the firstlongitudinal side. Similarly, the protrusion of the first latitudinal side may belongitudinal along the first latitudinal side, i.e. extend along said first latitudinal side.Such an altemative is shoWn in the figures.
Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, theprotrusion of the first longitudinal side and/or the first latitudinal side have a crosssection Which is half oblong and With a round end. This is also seen in the embodimentshown in the figures.
The deck unit according to the present invention may have different shape.According to one specific embodiment of the present invention, the first and secondlatitudinal side may have a semi-open cross sectional profile. This implies that it is onlythe Walkable upper surface that is a closed Whole surface, i.e. arranged as a solid profile.This is preferable as the use of material and as such material cost is decreased. Thissemi-open profile structure, as seen in e. g. Figure 2a, also provides for anotheradvantage. With closed chambers there is an evident risk that Water inside of thesechambers gets frozen during Winter time. Ice inside of these chambers put heavypressure to all sides Which may results in cracks of a panel. The decking unit accordingto the present invention having a semi-open structure solves this problem.
HoWever, in this context is should be noted that the present invention may alsohave a different design, such as e.g. having a one or more closed chambers, Which maybe referred to as a holloW closed shape, even if this is not preferred. According to one specific embodiment, the deck unit has a deck surface, i.e. the Walkable upper surface, and wherein the deck unit has extending legs beneath the deck surface. These extendinglegs are the supporting points of the deck unit.
According to another specific embodiment, the deck unit has a substantiallyplanar bottom surface.
The present invention may further have a different design; the deck unit mayaccordingly have a longitudinal side with a substantially solid cross sectional profile.This mitigates accumulation of water in crevasses or chambers in the cross section,which reduces the risk for cracks, bending and warping due to the accumulated waterfreezing in cold weather.
Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the deckunit has a support plate being arranged beneath the receiving groove of the firstlongitudinal and/or latitudinal side and extending out from the deck unit.
The deck unit may accordingly have a first and a second support plate. The firstsupport plate may be provided along the entire second longitudinal side of the deckingunit (see figures). The second support plate may be provided along the entire secondlatitudinal side of the decking unit (see figures).
The support plate has several possible functions. Besides being support for thedeck floor, this support plate may be the base for fixating the deck unit into a sub-construction beneath the deck. This sub-construction may e.g. be wooden ribs oraluminium joists or composite based joists or planks or the like, but can of course be ofany sort according to the invention. For this fixation, according to one embodiment ofthe present invention, there is one or more screw holes provided in the support plate.Furthermore, according to another specific embodiment of the present invention, theone or more screw holes are provided in an attachment groove provided in the supportplate. Moreover, the screw holes may be arranged along the support plate.
The screw holes may thus extend along the length of the first support platearranged beneath the receiving groove of the second longitudinal side and/or along thelength of the second support plate arranged beneath the receiving groove of the secondlatitudinal side, respectively. This fixation provides for a hidden installation without holding clips or other form of connecting means between the deck units.
In one embodiment, only the first support plate is provided With the screw holes.
In one embodiment, only the first support plate is provided With the attachment groove.
Furtherrnore, in one embodiment Wherein the first support plate has anattachment groove, said attachment groove may be a long groove along the entiresecond longitudinal side of the decking unit, Which is also shown in the figures. In oneembodiment Wherein the second support plate has an attachment groove, saidattachment groove may be a long groove along the entire second latitudinal side of thedecking unit. The pre-made attachment groove for installation facilitates control ofexpansion and contraction. Only regular Wooden screws are required to mount thedecking units or boards With the sub-construction or sub-structure through pre-madeholes provided in the attachment groove.
The deck unit according to the present invention may also be provided Withother additional means and properties. One example is altematives for the upperWalkable side. For instance, anti-slip profiling may incorporated on this upper side, e. g.by extrusion. Furthermore, the upper side may have a profile With grooves for a betterWalkable grip.
As understood from above, the present invention also refers to a deck floorsystem comprising any number of deck units according to the present invention.Moreover, the decking unit and deck floor system according to the present invention may be provided for outdoor and indoor use.
