Definitions
- the present invention relates to a joint guard used when cutting panels.
- Prefabricated floor boards provided with tongue and groove at the edges are quite common nowadays. These can be installed by the average handy man as they are very easy to install.
- Such floors can, for example, be constituted of solid wood, fiber board or particle board. These are most often provided with a surface layer such as lacquer, or some kind of laminate.
- the boards are most often installed by being glued via tongue and groove.
- the most common types of tongue and groove are however burdened with the disadvantage to form gaps of varying width between the floor boards in cases where the installer hasn't been thorough enough. Dirt will easily collect in such gaps. Moisture will furthermore enter the gaps which will cause the core to expand in cases where it is made of wood, fiber board or particle board, which usually is the case.
- the present invention relates to a joint guard intended to be used in connection to the installation of floor panels.
- the present invention is characterized in that the joint guard is provided with means for protecting and stabilizing portions of the edge region of a panel. These portions are selected from the group consisting of: a distal edge, a downwards protruding heel, a upper joint edge, a groove, a lower cheek, a distal end, an upwards protruding lower cheek heel, an upper joining edge, an undercut, a moveable locking element, a locking tongue, a locking tongue leg, a maneuvering leg and a face section.
- the joint guard is provided with a locking tongue stopper.
- the locking tongue stopper is intended to ensure that the moveable locking element is kept in a default position during the milling as well as keeping it from getting caught in the teeth of the saw during the cutting operation.
- the joint guard is provided with a locking tongue leg support and a maneuvering leg support.
- the locking tongue leg support and maneuvering leg support is intended to ensure that the moveable locking element and maneuvering leg is kept in a default position during the milling as well as keeping it from getting caught in the teeth of the saw during the cutting operation.
- the joint guard is provided with a locking tongue leg support and a face section support.
- the locking tongue leg support and a face section support is intended to ensure that the locking tongue leg and a face section is kept from getting caught in the teeth of the saw and thereby deformed during the cutting operation.
- thermoplastic material a metal
- thermosetting material wood, wood fiber and wood particles.
- the invention also relates to a joint guard provided with means for protecting and stabilizing portions in the edge region of a panel.
- the portions are selected from the group consisting of: a tongue, a rear groove, a lower cheek, a distal end, an inner locking groove, a tongue groove, a locking member surface, a moveable locking member, an inner locking tongue, a maneuvering cheek and an outer locking tongue.
- the joint guard is provided with a maneuvering cheek support.
- the maneuvering cheek support is intended to ensure that the moveable locking element is kept in a default position during the milling as well as keeping it from getting caught in the teeth of the saw during the cutting operation.
- the joint guard is provided with a outer locking tongue support.
- the outer locking tongue support is intended to ensure that the moveable locking element is kept in a default position during the milling as well as keeping it from getting caught in the teeth of the saw and deformed during the cutting operation.
- the moveable locking element may be applied on either the groove portion, or the tongue portion of a joint.
- the joint guard is suitably provided with a tongue engaging groove for ensuring a correct positioning.
- thermoplastic material a metal
- thermosetting material wood, wood fiber and wood particles.
- the joint guard according to the present invention is primarily used during cutting of panels and is then applied to the edge very much like another panel would be.
- the biggest difference between another panel and the joint guard is that the joint guard is designed not to engage or activate the different locking mechanisms of the panel edge.
- the joint guard is therefore designed to hold the locking mechanism in place without activating it.
- the joint guard is furthermore so designed as to not cause any substantial wear or deformation on functional parts such as locking edges and the like on embodiments herein described as well as on embodiment disclosed by reference.
- the joint guard is then applied on the edge of the panel to be cut and the cutting may commence. The cutting is either performed through the joint guard or using the joint guard as a ruler. It is however advantageous to arrange the joint guard on the portion of the panel that is to be used in the installation.
- the joint guard is advantageously also used as a tapping block during the installation of floor panels.
- the joint guard may serve as tool for returning moveable locking elements to default position in case these by accident is out of the pre-assembly position.
- Floor panel joint may be designed in different ways, as for example as known through WO 94/26999, WO 97/47834 and WO 03/083234. It is also possible to provide the joint with a resilient joining member made as a separate piece which is joined with the edge of the panel. Such joints is known through WO 00/47841 and WO 2005/054599. Also herein disclosed embodiments of joints serve as examples of joints which benefit from being protected during cutting.
- a joint has a first edge and a second edge.
- the first edge is provided with a distal edge and a downwards protruding heel.
- the distal edge is further provided with an upper joint edge beneath which a groove is arranged.
- the second edge is provided with lower cheek having a distal end at which an upwards protruding lower cheek heel is arranged.
- the second edge is further provided with an upper joining edge beneath which an undercut is arranged.
- a moveable locking element is arranged in the space created by the undercut.
- the moveable locking element has a locking tongue, a locking tongue leg and a maneuvering leg.
- the second edge is intended to join with the first edge through vertical motion.
- the moveable locking element or more precisely the locking tongue of the locking element, will be displaced by the vertical motion when the two edges are moved towards each other.
- the displacement can be seen as a rotation where the locking tongue is brought to rotate around a selected pivot point. Resilient action may also realize this rotating action.
- the downwards protruding heel presses on the maneuvering leg, thereby urging the locking tongue to move forward and engage the groove.
- An upper locking surface of the locking tongue is suitably longer than the portion of the locking tongue that can engage the groove.
- the lower cheek heel suitably have a front face and that the downwards protruding heel have a rear face.
- the front face and the rear face are then preferably intended to interact, the interaction resulting in the upper joint edge and the upper joining edge being urged together in an assembled joint.
- the lower cheek heel suitably have a front face and the downwards protruding heel have a rear face while the maneuvering leg have a face section.
- the front face and the rear face are then preferably intended to interact, having the face section in an intermediate position, the interaction resulting in the upper joint edge and the upper joining edge being urged together in an assembled joint.
- the locking element is provided with a hinge. This will allow a snap-action cam lock effect.
- a moveable locking element may suitably he made through extrusion molding and it can be made of thermoplastic material, thermosetting material or even of metal.
- the joint have a first edge and a second edge where the first edge is provided with a tongue and a rear groove.
- the second edge is provided with a lower cheek having a distal end, an inner locking groove, a tongue groove and a locking member surface.
- the moveable locking member is arranged on the locking member surface.
- the moveable locking member have an inner locking tongue, a maneuvering cheek and an outer locking tongue.
- the second edge is intended to join with the first edge through horizontal motion.
- a maneuvering area beneath the tongue press on the maneuvering cheek urging the inner locking tongue to move downwards and engage the inner locking groove.
- the maneuvering area beneath the tongue suitably press on the maneuvering cheek also urging the outer locking tongue to move upwards and engage the rear groove.
- a moveable locking element like herein described may suitably be made through extrusion molding and it can be made of thermoplastic material, thermosetting material, a composite material or even of metal.
- a floor panel includes a core which is covered with an upper decorative surface.
- the core most often consists of wood particles or fiber bonded together with glue or resin.
- Such core boards are commonly known as Medium Density Fiber board (MDF), High Density Fiber board (HDF), Oriented Strand Board (OSB) or particle board. It is, however, also possible to utilize the embodiments on cores made of solid wood. Since wood based core materials are sensitive to moisture it may be advantageous to treat the area closest to the joint if the floor is to be exposed to moisture. This treatment may suitably include resin, wax or some kind of lacquer.
- the decorative upper surface may consist of a decorative paper possibly impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin.
- a decorative paper possibly impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin.
- One or more layers of so called overlay paper of cellulose, impregnated with melaimine-formaldehyde resin is suitably placed on top of the decorative paper.
- One or more of the above layers may be sprinkled with hard particles, of for example aluminum oxide, silicon carbide or silicon oxide in connection to the impregnation in order to improve the abrasion resistance.
- the paper impregnated with resin is cured before, or in connection to applying it to the core.
- the paper layers are suitably laminated together before they are applied to the core in cases where the upper decorative surface is constituted by more than one paper layers.
- the lower side may suitably be coated with a lacquer or a resin impregnated paper. It is also possible to arrange an impregnated support paper between the decor and the core.
- joints are well suited for other materials as well. It is for example possible to use the joints on cores made of mineral based materials such as stone like marble, granite, slate, diabase, sandstone, limestone and the like,—but also ceramic, ceramic-like or composite materials like brick, concrete, fiber cement, glazed and non-glazed ceramic tiles. Some of these materials may be polished as the only surface treatment, while glazing, painting or oil treatment is an example of other surface treatments possible to utilize on above mentioned core materials. It is of course also possible, as described together with wood based core materials, to arrange thermosetting laminates including at least a decorative paper impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin. Overlay paper and hard particles may be added to this as described earlier in the present application.
- the upper decorative surface may also be constituted by an acrylic foil, an acrylic lacquer and combinations thereof. It might also be constituted by a foil or a lacquer of polyolefins or polyolefin derivatives.
