Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a combined set comprising at least two outside floor or wall covering elements made of a synthetic material and a series of attachment members, wherein each attachment member of said series is provided for attaching two adjacently placed of said covering elements to a support, said covering elements having an upper surface and a first and second longitudinal edge, said longitudinal edges being integrally formed with said upper surface and extend each time over their whole surface substantially linearly and continuously from an upper surface border to a lower border of said covering element, said covering elements further comprising a first, respectively a second, anchoring lip designed and dimensioned so as to match with said attachment member in order to realise said attaching, and wherein when attached on said support, a gap extends between said first and second longitudinal edges of two subsequently mounted covering
  • the invention also relates to a method for mounting such a combined set.
  • Such a combined set is known from WO00/56996.
  • the known combined set is for example used for outside floor covering.
  • a support is placed on the ground or wall and the attachment members are fixed on the support.
  • the covering elements are applied and fixed to the support by means of the attachment members.
  • Each covering element comprises a first and a second anchoring lip located at a distance corresponding to one third of the width of the covering element with respect to the first and second longitudinal edge.
  • the anchoring lips are formed by protrusions extending downwards from an underside of the upper surface.
  • the attachment member is provided with an upstanding protrusion, which extends in the gap when the covering elements are attached on the support.
  • Each attachment member always connects two adjacent covering elements to each other.
  • a drawback of the known combined set is that the anchoring lips are rather fragile due to their construction as a protrusion. As they further are applied at a distance corresponding to one third of the width of the covering element with respect to the first and second longitudinal edge, it is necessary to have attachment members of corresponding width. Consequently the attachment members have a certain width, which causes a cantilever effect on the anchoring lip when mounting the attachment member on the anchoring lip. This often leads to a breaking of the anchoring lip, thereby rendering the covering element useless. As moreover the attachment members have a certain width and need to have an upstanding protrusion, they are complex and expensive to manufacture.
  • the object of the present invention is to realise a combined set comprising at least two outside floor or wall covering elements and a series of attachment members which are more easy and less expensive to manufacture and of which the anchoring lips are less fragile.
  • a combined set according to the invention is characterised in that said covering element comprises at an underside thereof a lower plane surface wherein a first respectively a second opening is applied adjacent to said first respectively second longitudinal edge, said first and second opening giving access to a first respectively a second cavity, said first respectively said second cavity having a cavity wall which is partially formed by said first respectively said second longitudinal edge, said first respectively said second opening giving access to said first, respectively said second anchoring lip, which are applied in said first respectively said second cavity and form an integral part of said lower surface.
  • the underside is now formed by a plane surface and as the anchoring lips are applied in the cavities and form an integral part of the lower surface a more rigid construction of the anchoring lips is obtained.
  • the attachment members Due to the fact that the openings are adjacent to the lateral edges and give access to the anchoring lips, the attachment members have only a small width, thereby reducing not only the cantilever effect, but also the amount of material used for manufacturing them. A less expensive attachment member is thus obtained.
  • a first preferred embodiment of a combined set according to the present invention is characterised in that said attachment member comprises a footplate on which two resilient hooks are mounted, which hooks extend in a height direction with respect to said footplate, said hooks being mounted at a predetermined distance from each other and point in opposite direction with respect to each other.
  • a resilient hook forms a reliable locking of the attachment member on the anchoring lip.
  • a second preferred embodiment of a combined set according to the present invention is characterised in that said attachment member comprises a perforation provided for receiving a fixing member in order to fix said attachment member to said support, said perforation being applied in such a manner that its location corresponds to the one of said gap when said covering elements are attached on said attachment elements.
  • said fixing member is easily accessible from the gap between two adjacent covering elements and there is no need to remove the covering element to access the fixing member.
  • a third preferred embodiment of a combined set according to the present invention is characterised in that said covering elements have an alveolar structure comprising longitudinal tunnels extending between said upper and lower surface of said covering element, said first and second opening being at least partially applied within a volume described by said tunnel. In such a manner, a good combination of the alveolar structure and the opening, forming the cavity, is obtained.
  • a fourth preferred embodiment of a combined set according to the present invention is characterised in that said longitudinal edge has a length shorter than a thickness of said covering element, said lower border of said longitudinal edge forming part of said opening.
  • the attachment member can be applied in the same plane as the lower surface of the covering element and they both rest integrally on the support.
  • said anchoring lip is provided with locking means for locking said attachment member. This enables a reliable fixation of the covering element.
  • said synthetic material is a composite material comprising a polymer mixed with cellulose.
  • a composite material is very suitable for extrusion techniques.
  • the use of cellulose provides a natural aspect to the covering elements.
  • the method according to the present invention is characterised in that a first attachment member of said set, provided to engage into said first opening, is fixed to said support, a second attachment member is engaged into said second opening of one of said covering elements and attached to said anchoring lip, the latter covering element being moved towards said first attachment member, which is attached to the anchoring lip in said first opening by a shifting movement of the covering element, said second attachment member being thereafter fixed to said support.
  • the shifting movement enables an easy mounting and demounting of the covering elements.
  • FIGS. 1 to 7 illustrate a preferred embodiment of a combined set and the different method steps for mounting this combined set
  • FIG. 8 shows a covering element as part of the combined set
  • FIGS. 9 to 16 illustrate other embodiments of the combined set according to the present invention.
  • FIGS. 17 and 18 illustrate a further embodiment of the combined set according to the present invention.
  • the combined set according to the present invention comprises at least two covering elements 6 - 1 and 6 - 2 , as illustrated in FIG. 7 .
  • the covering elements are intended as floor or wall covering, in particular for a terrace or a deck.
  • the covering elements are made of a synthetic material.
  • the synthetic material is a composite material comprising polymer preferably in combination with cellulose.
  • Polyethylene, polyvinylchloride and polypropylene are suitable polymers for the composite material.
  • the covering elements are manufactured by extrusion of the composite material.
  • Such composite material has the advantage that it does practically not require any painting and that it is resistant to various weather conditions.
  • the cellulose can originate from wood or from vegetables and offers the possibility to give a natural look to the covering element, despite the fact that it is not a 100% natural product.
  • the covering element 6 has an essentially rectangular shape and comprises an upper and a lower surface.
  • the upper surface is preferably provided with a groove pattern in order to form an antiskid.
  • the underside forming the lower surface is formed by a plane surface, which is flat shaped.
  • the covering elements further comprise a first 15 and a second 16 longitudinal edge which extend over their whole surface substantially linear and continuous from the upper surface border to a lower border of the covering element.
  • the longitudinal edges are integrally made with the upper and lower surface of the covering element.
  • the longitudinal edges 15 and 16 have a length shorter than a thickness of the covering element so that they are only integrally formed with the upper surface.
  • the longitudinal edges extend each time from the upper surface border to the lower border in a continuous and rectilinear manner.
  • the longitudinal edge of the present covering elements is, as if to say, flat and without protrusions on which attachment members could grip.
  • the absence of protrusions is advantageously as it simplifies the extrusion process.
  • the absence of such protrusions also avoids that the latter could break off the covering element and weaken the fixation of it on the support.
  • the longitudinal edges are over the whole height substantially perpendicular with respect to the upper and lower surface of the covering element.
  • the covering elements have an alveolar structure, comprising longitudinal tunnels extending between the upper and lower surface of the covering element.
  • three adjacent tunnels are provided, which extend longitudinally. The tunnels are each time separated by a wall. It will however be clear that the invention is not limited to three tunnels and that more or less tunnels can be present.
  • the tunnels have a triangular shape. The latter shape has the advantage that less material is required as the separations between the adjacent tunnels can be made thinner, without affecting the rigidity of the covering element.
  • the alveolar structure offers the advantage to provide a rigid structure without using too much material.
  • the alveolar structure also offers the advantage that the covering elements have a relatively light weight, which makes them easy to handle.
  • the covering element has a plain structure and a lesser thickness than the alveolar structure in order to limit the weight of the covering element when it has a plain structure.
  • the covering element comprises a first 8 , respectively a second 9 opening applied adjacent to the first 15 , respectively the second 16 , longitudinal edge.
  • the openings 8 and 9 are applied in the lower surface and give each time access to a first respectively a second cavity.
  • a first ( 11 -R), respectively a second ( 10 -L) anchoring lip designed and dimensioned so as to match with an attachment member 3 .
  • the anchoring lips are integrally formed with the lower surface of the covering element in order to obtain a structural relational therewith, thereby providing a reliable and non-fragile construction.
  • a sole anchoring lip for each cavity or opening 8 , 9 is sufficient, as illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10 , it is also possible to have two anchoring lips per cavity or opening as illustrated in the FIGS. 1 to 7 , 11 to 18 .
  • Each of the first and second cavities has a cavity wall, which is partially formed by the longitudinal edge adjacent to which the cavity is applied. So the inner side of a fraction of the longitudinal edge forms a fraction of the cavity wall. Another fraction of the cavity wall is formed by a fraction of the inner side of the lower surface.
  • first 11 -R and second 10 -L anchoring lips it is possible to have a third anchoring lip 11 -L or 10 -R.
  • the third anchoring lip and the first and second anchoring lips are mirror symmetrically applied with respect to a centre of the opening. In such a manner, the lips oppositely face each other.
  • the anchoring lip is preferably extruded with the covering element and provided with locking means for locking the attachment member.
  • the locking means are tooth and groove shaped.
  • the anchoring lip has an inclined frontal face 17 (see FIG. 2 ) leading to a tooth 18 , followed by a groove 19 .
  • the inclined frontal face 17 which preferably makes an angle situated between 110° and 150° with the lower surface of the covering element, facilitates the co-operation between the attachment member 2 or 3 and the anchoring lip 10 or 11 upon application of the attachment member on the anchoring lip. Once the front of the attachment member has reached the top of the inclined frontal face, it will engage in the tooth 18 and groove 19 , thereby providing a reliable fixing.
  • the openings 8 and 9 and their respective cavities are at least partially applied within a volume described by the tunnel.
  • the cavities extend in the tunnels adjacent the longitudinal edges.
  • the tunnels, comprising the cavities have a first and a second section 7 - 1 and 7 - 2 separated by a section wall 20 .

  • the opening 8 , 9 is applied in the second section 7 - 2 .
  • the first section bridges the second one.
  • the section wall 20 rigidities, as if to say, the structure of the second section and thereby provides a reinforcement for the anchoring by avoiding that they could become movable.
  • the L shaped structure of the first section rigidities the covering element and assures that, in case where two anchoring lips are present, they are correctly applied on the under surface of the covering element.
  • the covering element comprises three instead of two cavities.
  • the additional or third cavity 8 ′ is asymmetric with respect to the middle axis of the covering element.
  • the presence of such an additional cavity is not limited to covering elements having a plane structure, but can also be applied to covering elements having an alveolar structure.
  • the asymmetric application of the additional cavity is not essential, it nevertheless has the advantage of creating more flexibility for placing the covering elements. Indeed it is sometimes necessary, when the last element has to be placed, that a smaller dimension than the standard one is required. To this purpose it is than necessary to cut a stroke from the covering element.
  • the presence of the additional cavity than enables to cut the stroke even at a location where the first or second cavity is applied, without affecting the possibility to attach the covering element, as the additional cavity can be used.
  • the asymmetric application of the additional cavity provides the possibility by turning the covering element to find an appropriate way to attach the covering element while still providing a gap between subsequent covering elements.

It is also possible to create a more important contact surface between the anchoring lip and the hook. This is favourable when larger covering elements are used which require a larger contact surface due to more important mechanical forces applied on it. Moreover the expansion and shrink of the larger attachment members due to temperature fluctuations is more important which also imposes a larger contact surface.
  • the present invention enables a more important contact surface without affecting the aesthetical aspect of the covering element, as the attachment is realised at the underside.
  • the width of the covering element could be doubled thereby still enabling a reliable attachment.
  • the hook is resilient, thermal fluctuations are better absorbed and they do not affect the attachment of the hook to the anchoring lip.
  • the fixing member 5 Since only the fixing member 5 is present in the gap, the latter can be kept small, even less than 4 mm, as no attachment members extend in the gap.
