Definitions
- the invention generally relates to the field of floor panels with mechanical locking systems and such building panels that are made of a board material.
- the invention relates to tongues for such locking systems and methods for providing and installing panels with such locking systems.
- the present invention is particularly suitable for use in floating floors, which are formed of floor panels which are joined mechanically with a locking system inte ⁇ grated with the floor panel, i.e. mounted at the factory, are made up of one or more upper layers of veneer, deco ⁇ rative laminate or decorative plastic material, an inter- mediate core of wood-fibre-based material or plastic material and preferably a lower balancing layer on the rear side of the core.
- a locking system inte ⁇ grated with the floor panel i.e. mounted at the factory
- the following description of prior-art technique, problems of known systems and objects and features of the invention will therefore, as a non-restrictive example, be aimed above all at this field of application and in particular laminate flooring formed as rectangular floor panels with long and shorts sides intended to be mechanically joined on both long and short sides.
- the long and shorts sides are mainly used to simplify the description of the invention.
- the panels could be square, the sides could have an angle other than 90 degree and they could have more than 4 sides.
- the invention can be used in any floor panel and it could be combined with all types of known locking system, on an adjacent side of the same panel, where the floor panels are intended to be joined using a mechanical locking system in the horizontal and vertical directions.
- the invention can thus also be applicable to, for instance, solid wooden floors, parquet floors with a core of wood or wood-fibre-based material and a surface of wood or wood veneer and the like, floors with a printed and preferably also varnished surface, floors with a surface layer of plastic or cork, linoleum, rubber.
- Laminate flooring usually consists of a core of a 6-12 mm fibre board, a 0.2-0.8 mm thick upper decorative surface layer of laminate and a 0.1-0.6 mm thick lower balancing layer of laminate, plastic, paper or like mate ⁇ rial.
- the surface layer provides appearance and durabi ⁇ lity to the floor panels.
- the core provides stability, and the balancing layer keeps the panel plane when the relative humidity (RH) varies during the year.
- the floor panels are laid floating, i.e. without gluing, on an existing sub floor.
- Laminate flooring and also many other types of flooring are made by the surface layer and the balancing layer being applied to a core material.
- This application may take place by gluing a previously manufactured decorative layer, for instance when the fibre board is provided with a decorative high pressure laminate which is made in a separate operation where a plurality of impregnated sheets of paper are compressed under high pressure and at a high temperature.
- the currently most common method when making laminate flooring is direct laminating which is based on a more modern principle where both manufacture of the decorative laminate layer and the bonding to the fibre board take place in one and the same manufacturing step. Impregnated sheets of paper are applied directly to the panel and pressed together under pressure and heat without any gluing.
- floor panels In addition to such traditional floors, which are joined by means of glued tongue-and-groove joints, floor panels have recently been developed which do not require the use of glue and instead are joined mechanically by means of so-called mechanical locking systems.
- These sys ⁇ tems comprise locking means, which lock the panels hori- zontally and vertically.
- the mechanical locking systems are usually formed by machining of the core of the panel .
- parts of the locking system can be form ⁇ ed of a separate material, for instance aluminium or HDF, which is integrated with the floor panel, i.e. joined with the floor panel in connection with the manufacture thereof.
- the main advantages of floating floors with mecha ⁇ nical locking systems are that they can easily and quick ⁇ ly be laid by various combinations of inward angling, snapping-in and insertion. They can also easily be taken up again and used once more at a different location.
- a further advantage of the mechanical locking systems is that the joint edges of the floor panels can be made of materials, which need not to have good gluing properties.
- the most common core material is fibreboard with high density and good stability usually called HDF - High Density Fibreboard. Sometimes also MDF - Medium Density Fibreboard - is used as core.
- the visible surface Of the installed floor panel is called “front side”, while the opposite side of the floor panel, facing the sub floor, is called “rear side”.
- the edge between the front and rear side is called “joint edge”.
- horizontal plane is meant a plane, which extends parallel to the outer part of the surface layer.
- Immediately juxtaposed upper parts of two adjacent joint edges of two joined floor panels together define a “vertical plane” perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
- joint or “locking system” are meant co acting connecting means, which connect the floor panels vertically and/or horizontally.
- mechanical locking system is meant that joining can take place without glue. Mechanical locking systems can in many cases also be combined with gluing.
- integrated with means formed in one piece with the panel or factory connected to the panel.
- a “flexible tongue” is meant a separate tongue which has a length direction along the joint edges and which is forming a part of the vertical locking system and could be displaced horizontally during locking.
- the tongue could be for example flexible and resilient in such a way that it can bend along its length and spring back to its initial position.
- “flexible tongue blank” are meant two or more flexible tongues, which are connected to a one-piece component. Examples of such flexible tongue blanks will be described in more detail below.
- fixing the flexible tongue is meant that the flexible tongue should at least be sufficiently attached to the floor panel so as not to incidentally fall off during handling of the floor panel, at the factory, during transport and/or in installation.
- mechanically fixed is meant that the fixing is essentially due to shape or friction force.
- angling is meant a connection that occurs by a turning motion, during which an angular change occurs between two parts that are being connected, or discon ⁇ nected.
- angling relates to connection of two floor panels, the angular motion takes place with the upper parts of joint edges at least partly being in contact with each other, during at least part of the motion.
- vertical folding is meant a connection of three panels where a first and second panel are in a connected state and where an angling action connects two perpendicular edges of a new panel to the first and second panel. Such a connection takes place for example when a long side of first panel in a first row is already connected to a long side of a second panel in a second row. The third panel is than connected by angling to the long side of the first panel in the first row.
- This specific type of angling action which also connects the short side of the new panel and second panel, is referred to as vertical folding
- the locking system may, however, be formed so that snapping-in may occur by a motion which is vertical to the surface of the floor panel.
- the long side is locked by angling and the short side with a vertical angling which locks with a snap action.
- Such a system in described in WO 01/0248127 (Akzenta) .
- the connection of panels is complicated and difficult since fibres must be compressed and a hammer with a tapping block must be used.
- the panels are locked in vertical direction ,mainly by a friction force and the locking strength is low.
- WO 03/083234 Applicant Valinge Aluminium
- a floor panel with a vertical joint in the form of a flexible tongue and a groove is provided, the tongue being made of a separate material and being flexible so that at least one of the sides of the floor panel can be joined by a vertical motion parallel to the vertical plane.
- a joint system can be made with a flexible spring tongue which can be displaced and/or compressed horizontally in and out or alternatively be bent vertically up or down. It describes a separate tongue of, for instance, wood fibre material, which can be displaced horizontally by means of a flexible material, for instance a rubber paste. It also describes an embodiment with a tongue, which has an inner part that is resilient.
- This known technology with a tongue which during locking moves horizontally in relation to the adjacent edges, offers several advantages over the known installation methods.
- the locking is easy and faster since 3 steps are reduced to one step.
- a first overall objective of the present invention is to provide a locking system based on a vertical folding with a flexible tongue fixed in a tongue groove.
- the locking system should make it possible to lock all four sides of one panel vertically and horizontally to other panels with angling action only.
- the costs and functions should be favourable compared to the known technology.
- An essential part of the overall objective is to improve the function and costs of those parts of the locking system that causes the flexible tongue to displace during locking and spring back in locked position.
- the object is to provide a vertical folding locking system with a flexible tongue where one or several of the following advantages are obtained.
- the flexible tongue should preferably be possible to displace during locking with such a low force that no tools will be needed in connection with installation.
- the spring effect should be reliable and the flexible tongue should move back, partly or completely, to a pre-determined position when the panels have been brought to the position where they are to be locked.
- the vertical locking should be strong and prevent that two locked panels will move vertically when humidity is changing or when people walk on a floor.
- the locking system should be able to lock floor panels vertically with high precision so that the surfaces are essentially in the same plane.
- the vertical locking system should be designed in such a way that the material and production costs could be low.
- the separate flexible tongue should be possible to fix to the floor panel in a simple and cost effective way.
- the fixing should keep the flexible tongue at least fixed to the panel during production, transport and installation.
- a second objective is to provide methods to produce the flexible tongue and flexible tongue blanks which are later to constitute parts of the mechanical locking system of the floor panels.
- a third object is to provide a rational method for fixing the flexible tongues with the joint portion of the floor panel to form an integrated mechanical locking system where the flexible tongue is factory fixed to the floor panel.
- a fourth object is to provide installation methods to connect floor panels with vertical folding.
- a fifth object is to provide a tool and a method to take up the floor panels.
- the above objects of the invention are achieved wholly or partly by a locking system, floor panels, a flexible tongue, a flexible tongue blank and production and installation methods according to the independent claims. Embodiments of the invention are evident from the dependent claims and from the description and drawings.
- the invention does not exclude an embodiment in which flexible tongues are delivered as separate components to be fixed to the panel by the installer prior to installation, the invention does not exclude glue, sealing compounds, wax or other similar chemicals in the locking system.
- a new floor panel comprising connecting means, which are integrated with the floor panel and adapted to connect the new floor panel with an essentially identical first and second floor panel is provided.
- the upper joint edges of said new and second floor panels define in the connected state a vertical plane.
- the connecting means are designed to connect said new floor panel with said second floor panel in a horizontal direction perpendicular to said vertical plane and in a vertical direction parallel to the vertical plane.
- the vertical connection comprising a flexible tongue in a displacement groove, in one of the new or the second floor panels.
- the displacement groove is formed in the edge of the panel and is open towards the vertical plane.
- the flexible tongue has a length direction along the joint edges, a width in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the length and a thickness in the vertical direction.
- the flexible tongue is designed to cooperate, in said connected state with a tongue groove of another one of the new or second floor panels.
- the horizontal connection comprising a locking strip which projects from said vertical plane and carries a locking element 8 in the second panel.
- the locking strip 6 is designed to cooperate, in said connected state, with a downward open locking groove of the new floor panel.
- the new floor panel could be locked to the first and second floor panel with vertical folding.
- the flexible tongue is during the vertical folding displaced two times in the displacement groove.
- the first displacement is effected by the vertical folding of the new floor panel whereby at least a part of the flexible tongue is bent in the length direction and parallel with the width.
- a second displacement of the flexible tongue towards its initial position is accomplished substantially by a spring effect caused by said bending of said flexible tongue.
- a tongue blank consisting of several flexible tongues connected to each other. This facilitated automatic handling of the tongues in connection with the fixing of the flexible tongues into the displacement groove.
- separate tongues are produced, which are preferably moved by means of vibration to a pre-determined positioned, where the tongue is displaced into and fixed in the displacement groove
- a production method is provided to fix the flexible tongue in the displacement groove.
- the flexible tongue is separated from a tongue blank and displaced essentially parallel to its width or length into the displacement groove where it is fixed with a friction force.
- installation methods are provided which make it possible to connect floor panels vertically and horizontally long side to short side with a simple angling motion.
- a floor panel having an edge portion presenting a sidewardly open groove, in which a tongue formed as a separate part is received.
- the tongue is bendable in a plane substantially parallel with a main plane of the floor panel, such that the tongue is resiliently displaceable in said plane.
- a tongue adapted for being received in a sidewardly open groove of a floor panel.
- the tongue when received in the groove, is bendable in a plane substantially parallel with a main plane of the floor panel, such that the tongue is at least partially resiliently displaceable in said plane.
- a reinstallation tool to take up installed floor panels ' with a flexible tongue is provide.
- the tool is inserted into a tongue groove or a displacement groove of an installed panel and the tongue is pulled or pushed out of the tongue groove.
- One method comprising removing of a tongue from a first edge of an installed floor panel, preferably using the reinstallation tool, and preferably angle up the floor panel along a secod edge.
- One advantage is that last installed floor pannel in one row could be angle up, while the other floor panels in the same row are laying flat on the subfloor in a connected state to a previously installed row. This metod to take up a floor panel reduces considerably the risk of damaging the locking system, epecially if the floorborads are thick and heavy or installed a tight fit.
- the invention is also especially well suited for panels which are connected long side to short side and for panels which are wide for example with a width larger than 20 cm. Such panels are difficult to snap on short side and in most materials they must have a vertical locking to avoid height differences between the joint surfaces.
- the invention could preferably be combined with bevels or similar edge configurations on short and/or long sides. In such a floor, a simple an low cost embodiment of the flexible tongue, could be used, since height differences of adjacent edges preferably short side edges, will be less visible.

- FIG. 1 A first preferred embodiment of a floor panel 1, 1" provided with a mechanical locking system according to the invention is now described with reference to Figs la- Id. To facilitate understanding, the locking systems in all figures are shown schematically. It should be emphasized that improved or different functions can be achieved using combinations of the preferred embodiments.
- the inventor has tested all known and especially all commercially used locking systems on the market in all type of floor panels, especially laminate and wood floorings and the conclusion is that at least all these known locking systems which have one or more tongues could be adjusted to a system with one ore more flexible tongues according to the invention. Most of them could easily be adjusted in such a way that they will be compatible with the present systems.
- flexible tongues could be located in both adjacent edges, one over the other and they could be on different levels in the same edge or installed in the same groove after each other.
- the flexible tongue could be on long and/or short sides and one long or short side could be combined with a flexible tongue on another long or short side, which could have all known locking systems, preferably locking systems which could be locked by angling or a vertical movement.
- the invention does not exclude floor panels with flexible tongues on for example a long and a short side. Such panels could be installed by a vertical motion without any angling. Angles, dimensions, rounded parts etc are only examples and could be adjusted within the principles of the invention.
- FIG. 1 A first preferred embodiment of a floor panel 1, 1' provided with a mechanical locking system according to the invention is now described with reference to Figs la- Id.
- Figure Ia illustrates schematically a cross-section of a joint between a short side joint edge 4a of a panel 1 and an opposite short side joint edge 4b of a second panel 1' .
- the front sides 61 of the panels are essentially positioned in a common horizontal plane HP, and the upper parts 21, 41 of the joint edges 4a, 4b abut against each other in a vertical plane VP.
- the mechanical locking sys- tem provides locking of the panels relative to each other in the vertical direction Dl as well as the horizontal direction D2,
- the edges of the floor panel have in a manner known per se a locking strip 6 with a locking element 8 in one joint edge, hereafter referred to as the "strip panel” which cooperates with a locking groove 14 in the other joint edge, hereafter referred to as the "fold panel”, and provides the horizontal locking.
- the mechanical locking system according to the invention comprises a separate flexible tongue 30 fixed into a displacement groove 40 formed in one of the joint edges.
- the flexible tongue 30 has a groove portion Pl, which is located in the displacement groove 40 and a pro- jecting portion P2 projecting outside the displacement groove 40.
- the projecting portion P2 of the flexible tongue 30 in one of the joint edges cooperates with a tongue groove formed in the other joint edge.
- the panel 1 could for example have a body or core 60 of wood-fibre-based material such as HDF, plywood or solid wood.
- the flexible tongue 30 has a protruding part P2 with a rounded outer part 31 and a sliding surface 32, which in this embodiment if formed like a bevel. It has upper 33 and lower 35 tongue displacement surfaces and an inner part 34.
- the displacement groove 40 has an upper 42 and a lower 46 opening, which in this embodiment are rounded, a bottom 44 and upper 43 and lower 45 groove displacement surfaces, which preferably are essentially parallel with the horizontal plane HP.
- the tongue groove 20 has a tongue-locking surface 22, which cooperates with the flexible tongue 30 and locks the joint edges in a vertical direction Dl.
- the fold panel 1' has a vertical locking surface 24, which is closer to the rear side 62 than the tongue groove 20.
- the vertical locking surface 24 cooperates with the strip 6 and locks the joint edges in another vertical direction.
- the fold panel has in this embodiment a sliding surface 23 which cooperated during locking with the sliding surface 32 of the tongue. Preferably there are spaces of 0,1 mm or more between all surfaces, which are not active in the vertical or horizontal locking as shown in figure 1, especially between inner and upper part of the tongue groove 20 and the flexible tongue 30.
- Figures 2a-2e shows how a fold panel 1' could be locked to a strip panel 1.
- the figures show a vertical motion of two panels towards each other.
- the figures also shows a part of a vertical folding connecting three panels to each other as shown in figure 5a.
- the figures 2a-2e shows how the two cross sections A-A and A' -A' of figure 5a will be connected when the fold panel l r will be angled towards the strip panel 1.
- Figure 2b-c show how the sliding surfaces cooperate when the folding panel 1' is moved vertically towards the strip panel 1.
- the flexible tongue 30 is displaced with a first displacement essentially horizontally in the displacement groove 40 towards the bottom 44.
- the flexible tongue 30 springs back with a second displace ⁇ ment towards its initial position and the panels are locked vertically between the vertical locking surface 24 and the strip 6 and the lower displacement surface 35 and the tongue locking surface 22.
- the flexible tongue 30 should preferably be fixed to the displacement groove 40 with high precision.
- the tongue as whole or different parts could be fixed with a small play, for example 0,01-0,10 mm, a precise fit or a pre tension.
- Wax or other friction reducing materials or chemicals could be applied between the flexible tongue and the displacement groove and/or in the tongue groove and/or in the locking system in order to facilitate displacement of the tongue and the locking and/or to facilitate the fixing of the flexible tongue in the displacement groove. Even with a play, a precise fit between the upper joint edges could be accomplished.
- the lower tongue displacement surface 35 could be formed to press the tongue locking surface 22 and the vertical locking surface 24 towards the strip 6.
- the protruding part P2 of the tongue displacement surface 35 could be formed with a small angle to the horizontal plane HP.
- the protruding part P2 of the flexible tongue will tilt towards the front side 61 and a part of the upper tongue displacement surface 33 will press against the upper groove displacement surface 43 while parts of lower displacement surfaces 35,45 close to the bottom 44 of the displacement groove 40 will press against each other.
- the vertical fit between the upper joint edges will mainly depend on the production tolerances between the vertical locking surfaces 24 and a vertical contact surface 6' , in this embodiment located on the upper part of the strip 6, which in locked position, will be in contact with each other and preferably press against each other.
- the flexible tongue 30 could be formed to cause a permanent pressure force horizontally in the locked position.
- the flexible tongue 30 will only partly spring back to the initial position.
- the flexible tongue 30 could optionally be designed with a such dimensions that in locked position it will move slightly towards its initial position when people walk on the floor or when the panels at warping in different humidity. Gradually a perfect vertical connection will be accomplished.
- Figure 3a shows a cross section A-A of a panel according to figure 3b seen from above.
- the flexible tongue 30 has a length L along the joint edge, a width W parallel to the horizontal plane and perpendicular to the length L and a thickness T in the vertical direction Dl .
- the sum of the largest groove portion Pl and the largest protruding part P2 is the total width TW.
- the flexible tongue has also in this embodiment a middle section MS and two edge sections ES adjacent to the middle section.
- the size of the protruding part P2 and the groove portion Pl varies in this embodiment along the length L and the tongue is spaced from the two corner sections 9a and 9b. This shape is favourable in order to facilitate the first and the second displacement of the flexible tongue 30.
- Figure 4a and 4b shows the position of the flexible tongue 30 after the first displacement towards the bottom 44 of the displacement groove 40.
- the displacement is caused essentially by bending of parts of the flexible tongue 30 in its length direction L parallel to the width W.
- This feature is essential for this embodiment of the invention and offers several advantages
- a first important advantage is that the tongue could be made of rather rigid material, which is strong and stabile in the vertical direction while at the same time flexible in the horizontal direction D2 is possible to accomplish.
- the bending portions are could be made considerably larger than the horizontal displacement needed to accomplish the locking.
- a second advantage is that the parts, which are flexible and facilitates the first and second horizontal displacement also supports the vertical stability of the tongue.
- the advantage is that the total width TW of the flexible tongue and the depth of the displacement groove could be rather limited. This improves the strength and moisture deformation of the joint edge.
- the total width TW of the flexible tongue could be about 5- 15 mm
- a third advantage is that the flexible tongue could be made in one piece of a single material without any- soft and compressible materials. This will decrease the production cost and facilitate the fixing of the tongue in the displacement groove.
- the sliding grove is in this preferred embodiment a continuous groove over the whole length of the join edge.
- the displacement groove (40) could however be formed in only a part of the edge and it does not have to be parallel with the edge.
- the displacement groove (40) could for instance be curved.
- Such a groove is easy to produce with a rotating tool, which could move against the edge.
- the fold panel could be disconnected with a needle shaped tool, which could be inserted from the corner section 9b into the tongue grove 20 and press the flexible tongue back into the displacement groove 40.
- the fold panel could than be angled up while the strip panel is still on the sub floor. Of course the panels could also be disconnected in the traditional way.
- Figure 5a and 5b shows one embodiment of a vertical folding.
- a first panel 1' ' in a first row is connected to a second 1 panel in a second row.
- the new panel 1' is connected with its long side 5a to the long side 5b of the first panel with angling. This angling action also connects the short side 4b of the new pane with the short side 4a of the second panel.
- the fold panel 1' is locked to the strip panel 1 with a combined vertical and turning motion along the vertical plane VP.
- the protruding part P2 has a rounded and or angled folding part P2'which during folding cooperates with the sliding surface 23 of the folding panel 1' .
- the combined effect of a folding part P2', and a sliding surface 32 of the tongue which during the folding cooperates with the sliding surface 23 of the fold panel 1' facilitates considerably the first displacement of the flexible tongue 30.
- the horizontal pressing force could be spread over a much larger portion than the thickness T of the flexible tongue and the fold panel could easily be folded down with a low force even if the spring effect of the bending is high.
- a vertical pressing force of 10 N against a piece, which has a length of 100 mm along the long side, applied on the long side 5b of the fold panel, as shown in figure 5a could displace a projecting portion P2 to the inner position even if the spring force is 20 N.
- the locking system is designed in such a way that the locking element 8 is partly in the locking groove 14 when the first displacement starts. This is shown in figure 5b.
- the top edges 41,21 are partly in contact with each other and the fold panel 1' is in the correct starting position.
- the locking element 8 and the locking groove 14 prevents the strip panel 1 and the fold panel 1' to separate when the flexible tongue 30 is pressed into the displacement groove 40.
- En essential feature of this embodiment is the position of the projecting portion P2, which is spaced from the corner section 9a and 9b.
- the spacing should be preferably at least 10 % of the length of the joint edge, in this case the visible short side 4a.
- Figure 5a shows that the spacing from the both corner section 9a and 9b gives the flexibility that the fold panel could during the vertical folding be connected to the long side of the first panel 1' ' with the tongue side 5a or the strip side 5b
- Fig 6a- 6b show that the flexible tongue could be in the edge of the fold panel 1' .
- the sliding surface 32 of the tongue cooperates in this embodiment with the top edge of the strip panel. Thanks to the folding part P2', the locking could be made without any risk of damaging the top surface layer at the edge.
- the advantage of this embodiment is that a short side with a flexible tongue could be connected to a traditional long side or short side locking system with a strip 6 and a tongue groove 20 in the same edge.
- Figure ⁇ c shows an embodiment where the displacement groove 40 is not parallel with the horizontal plane HP. This facilitates the connection of the flexible tongue 30 into the displacement groove 40.
- the protruding part of the flexible tongue 30 is wedge shaped in order to press the vertical contact surface 6' and the vertical locking surface 24 against each other.
- the locking surfaces between the locking element 8 and the locking groove 14 are angled and have an angle which is less than 90 degree against the horizontal plane HP and the locking system could be connected with a tight fit and/or pre tension.
- FIGs Ia-Ie shows different embodiments of the flexible tongue 30.
- the flexible tongue 30 has on one of the edge sections a friction connection 36 which could be shaped for instance as a local small vertical protrusion.
- This friction connection keeps the flexible tongue in the displacement groove 40 during installation, or during production, packaging and transport, if the flexible tongue is integrated with the floor panel at the factory.
- Figure 4b show that the friction connection 36 keeps one edge section ES essentially still while the other edge section ES' moves along the edge.
- the length L' in the inner position is in this embodiment larger than the length L in locked position.
- Figure 7b shows a tongue blank 50 consisting of several flexible tongues 30 connected to each other.
- the flexible tongue 30 is made with moulding preferably injection moulding.
- polymer materials such as PA (nylon) , POM, PC, PP, PET or PE or similar having the properties described above in the different embodiments.
- These plastic materials could be reinforced with for instance glass fibre, Kevlar fibre, carbon fibre or talk or chalk.
- a preferred material is glass fibre, preferably extra long, reinforced PP or POM.
- Figures 7c-e show different embodiments made by injection moulding. With this production method a wide variety of complex three-dimensional shapes could be produced at low cost and the flexible tongues 30 could easily be connected to each other to form tongue blanks 50. Of course the flexible tongue 30 could be made from metal.
- Figure 7 e shows that the flexible tongue could be made of an extruded or machined plastic section, which could be further shaped with for example punching to form a flexible tongue according to the invention. Materials such as plastic, metals preferably aluminium, solid wood, wood based sheet material such as HDF and compact laminate could be used.
- Figure 7f shows an embodiment, which consist of two sections 38 and 39, which are connected to each other.
- FIGs 8a-8d show schematically a production method to fix the flexible tongue to the displacement groove.
- the flexible tongue is mechanically fixed.
- glue or mechanical devices can also be used.
- the panel 1' is located with its front side up. The panel could also be turned with the rear side up.
- the tongue blanks 50 are moved trough a separation unit 51, which separates the flexible tongue 30 from the tongue blank 50.
- the flexible tongue 30 could than be moved to a lower level with a vertical device 55. This motion could also be combined with the separation.
- a pusher 54 moves the flexible tongue 30 into the displacement groove 40 and fixes it with the friction connection 36.
- the flexible tongue is guided over the strip 6 between an upper 52 and lower 53 guiding devices.
- Vacuum could also be used to connect the flexible tongue 30 to the upper 52 guiding device during the horizontal displacement into the displacement groove 40.
- Vacuum could also be used to connect the flexible tongue 30 to the upper 52 guiding device during the horizontal displacement into the displacement groove 40.
- the flexible tongue is separated from a tongue blank containing at least two connected flexible tongues and displaced essentially parallel to its width and/or length into the displacement groove 40 where it is fixed with a friction force.
- FIGs 9a-d show schematically an alternative production method to mechanically fix the flexible tongue to the displacement groove.
- the tongue blanks 50 are moved trough a separation unit 51, which separates the flexible tongue 30 from the tongue blank 50.
- tongue 30 is in this embodiment positioned using a fan wheel 58.

- the flexible tongue is guided over the strip 6 between an upper 52 and lower 53 guiding devices.
- FIGS 10 a-e show schematically a further production method to mechanically fix the flexible tongue 0 to the displacement groove. Separates tongues are stored in a vertical magazine 59 and the outermost tongue is feeded in the horizontal direction by a feeding device to a vertical device 55. The tongue is feeded between an upper horizontal feeding means 65 and a lower horizontal
- the lower feeding means is also a pusher.
- a pusher 54 moves the flexible tongue 30, via a tongue-guiding device, into the displacement groove 40 and fixes it with the friction connection 36.
- FIGS 11 a-c show schematically a tongue-fixing device, which uses a fixing wheel 61.
- the tongue is feeded in a feeding device 61 and a pusher 54 pushes an
- FIGS 12 a-c show schematically an alternative tongue-fixing device, which in the same process fixes two
- the fixing device comprising two feeding devices and pushers and one fixing wheel, but alternative the fixing device comprising additional fixing wheels, pushers and feeding devices.
- Figures 13a to 13f are examples which show that all known locking systems could be adjusted to vertical folding with a flexible tongue 30 according to the invention and that the flexible tongue 30 could be attached optionally to the strip or fold panel.
- the strip 6 is not rigid enough to form a vertical contact surface. This could be solved by a tongue 10 and a groove 9 above the flexible tongue 3 30.
- the vertical contact surface 6' could be a part of the tongue groove and the vertical locking surface 24 could be the projecting portion of the tongue as shown in figure 13e.
- Figure 14a-b shows how a locking system could be designed to lock long side 4a to long side 4b with angling, short side 5a to short side 5b by vertical folding and/or angling and short side to long side with vertical folding or angling.
- Figures 14c-14d show how two panels A and B with mirror inverted locking systems could be locked to a floor with an advanced installation pattern.
- Panels 1-6 could be installed with angling.
- Panel 7 could be installed by angling the short side to the long side of pane 6.
- Panels 8-9 could be installed by angling.
- Panel 12 is installed by angling the short side.
- Panels 13-23 are installed by folding.
- Panels 24-26 are installed by angling and panels 27- 34 by folding.
- the flexible tongue 30 on the short side the whole floor could be installed with a simple angling action in spite of the fact that all panels are connected on all sides vertically and horizontally and all panels are connected long to long side and long to short side.
- This installation method could be used in connection with all types of flexible tongues and not only those embodiments that bend along the length direction.
- Figure 14b show that the locking system could be locked with a pressure force F caused by the flexible tongue 30.
- Figures 15a- 15d show how A and B panels with a flexible tongue could be installed and locked vertically Dl and horizontally D2 in a single or double herringbone pattern with only a simple angling action.
- Figure 16 a-c shows vertical folding installation with square panels.
- the flexible tongue 30 has several protruding parts P2. This embodiment could be used as an alternative to several separate flexible tongues when the length of the joint edge exceeds for example 200 mm.
- the friction connection 36 could be located for example in a middle section.
- Figure 16d-e show an alternative way to displace the flexible tongue.
- the method could be combined with a flexible tongue according to figure If.
- the new panel 1' is in angled position with an upper part of the joint edge in contact with the first panel l r ' in the first row.
- the first panel 1' is than displaced towards the second panel 1 until the edges are essentially in contact and a part of the flexible tongue 30 is pressed into the displacement groove 40 as can be seen in the figure 16e.
- the new panel 1' is than folded down towards the second panel 1.
- Figure 16f show that the tongue could be on the folding panel. Since the displacement of the new panel 1' presses an edge section of the flexible tongue 30 into the displacement groove 40, vertical folding will be possible to make with less resistance.
- Such an installation could be made with a flexible tongue that has a straight protruding part.
- the flexible tongue 30 does not have to bend in the length direction if it has a flexible device such as rubber that could be compressed.
- the bending could be replaced by a horizontal turning action where one edge section of the flexible tongue during locking is closer to the bottom 44 of the displacement groove 40 than another opposite edge section.
- Figures 17a-d shows how a known locking system, used in large volumes on the marked, could be converted to a vertical folding, preferably in two steps.
- the first step is to replace the traditional tongue 10 with a flexible tongue 30.
- the locking systems will be compatible which means that an old and new panel could be locked to each other.
- the tongues could be fixed to either the fold panel (see Fig 17c) or the strip panel (see Fig 17 d) . After a while when all products in the shops are sold, the groove 9 of the strip part could be adjusted.
- a lot of alternatives are possible to accomplish vertical folding with a flexible tongue.
- a flexible tongue could be produced according to the same principle as known mechanical devices, which create a spring effect similar to locking devices used in doors, windows, furniture, cars and mobile phones.
- the flexible tongue with these mechanical devices could be formed with dimensions suitable for 6-15 mm floorings, especially wood floorings, and inserted into the edge.
- Figure 18 shows that the flexible tongue (30) could for example be mounted in a separate sliding section 56 made of plastic or metal or any other suitable material and containing a compressible or flexible rubber, metal or plastic component (57) or similar able to create the spring effect.
- This sliding section 56 could be connected into the edge of the floor panel in a holding groove 40' which in this embodiment is rounded and has a shape similar to a part of a rotating saw blade.
- the holding groove 40' only is formed in a part of the short side edge, it could be made rather deep and the edge will still have sufficient strength.
- a preferable feature of this embodiment is that the deepest part of the holding groove 40' is only located in a part of the edge. Contrary to the other embodiments the holding groove 40' is not parallel with the joint edge and does not cover the whole edge. Of course other shapes are possible and the parallel groove is not excluded.
- the advantages with vertical folding are considerable and could overcome a rather high cost for the locking system. Due to the fact that the short sides are not sawn very often, metal components could also be used and these components could be formed in such a way that they are easy to remove from the floor panel if the short side edge must be sawn.
- a flexible tongue with a length of a few cm is enough if it is positioned in the middle part of the short side about 6-9 cm from the corner section.
- the flexible tongue could also be made of one single component as described in the embodiment above and with a thickness of about 1 mm only and could be used to connect floorboards with a thickness down to 4 mm.
- a locking system with the flexible tongue, according to the inventions, is also very suitable for connecting thicker floorboards or about 10-15 mm, especially wood and laminate floorboards.
- the displacement groove 33 and/or the tongue groove 20 could be formed in separate materials, which are connected as an edge portion to the core. In engineered wood floors, with for instance a lamella core, the edge portion could be made of e.g.
- the flexible tongues could be combined with all shown displacement or holding grooves.
- the locking systems could be used in any shown joint or floor panel.
- the system according to figure 18 could for example be used in floor panels described in figures 14a-d.
- the tongue as shown in figure 7f could also have a shape as shown I figure 7b and it could be made to bend in the length direction where this bending is partly supported by a flexible material 38.
- the locking strips could in all embodiments be made of a separate material or in one piece. Part of the strip 6 in figure 18 could be removed under the plastic component 56 to facilitate fixing to the joint.
- Figures 18a-c show different shapes of the flexible tongue.
- Figure 18a show one embodiment with an essentially sine shaped tongue, comprising two periods, and straight parts at the down periods and at the top periods.
- a second and third embodiments comprising two periods with different lengths of the top periods.
- a fourth embodiment comprising one period and a fith embodiment comprising one period involving an assymetric top period. The different lengths of the periods and asymetri is used to fascilitate the connection, and lower resistance.
- Figure 18b shows an embodiment before the ingates are removed and with recesses 66 at the inner part, wich increase the flexibility of the tongue.
- Figure 18c show an embodiment with different radius at the inner part R3, at the bevel R2 and at the outer part Rl.
- the figure shows that the total width TW of the tongue could vary between a postion when the panel is not conneted TWS and a posion when the panel is connected TWE.
- the tongue slightly compressed and pretensioned and therefore also shows a different shape.
- Figures 18d-f show embodiments to solve the problem wich occur when the panel is splitted.
- the tongue is replaced by another tongue (see fig. 18d and f) , which is shorter.
- the shape of the tongue is adopted so that the tongue could be cut and still work.
- Figures 19a-b show an embodiment of the tongue with indentations 63, of different shapes.
- the indentation counteracts the effect of shrinkage by moulding, and could also be usufeul to help orientation of the tongue, when handling the tongue in connection with fixing.
- the bottom of the tongue is a suitable place for identification text or contact surface of a pusher (e.g when removing the tongue from a mould), since it doesn't change the sliding/displacing characteristics of the tongue.
- Figure 19 d shows how different sisez of the tongue, due to production tolerances, could be compensated by a bevel at the lower displacement surface 64 of the tongue and an inclined tongue locking surface of the tongue groove 22.
- Figures 20a-d illustrate that various types, lengths and numbers of tongues could be combined and fixed to one displacement groove.
- An advantage is that different combination could be used to create different strength and characteristics of the locking system, which could be adopted to different types of panels.
- a use of several tongues could also replace product (panel) specific lengts of the tongues.
- Figures 21a-d illustrates embodiments with a non continous displacing grooves. The non continous displacing groove could be procused by a jumping head 69 or created by inserting a filler 67 or inserting and fastening, e.g by friction or gluing, of a divider 68.
- Figures 22a-c illustrate embodiments of a tongue blank, straight or circular and with ingates at one or both ends of the tongue. The tongue could also be handled separatly according to figure 22d.
- Figures 23a-g show different embodiments of a mechanial locking system in combination with a flexing tongue.
- Figures 23a and 23b show one embodiment of the same panel at the short side 23a and at the longside 23b.
- Figure 23c shows an embodiment, which is not possible to take up with anling.
- Figures 23a-d show an embodiment of a displacing groove with an inclined upper displacing groove surface, which couteract the effect of humidity related shrinking and swelling of the panel and reduces the risk of jaming of the tongue.
- Figures 24a-g show embodiments of a tool 100-103 to be used when taking up panels with the flexible tongue.
- the tool comprising a handle part 104 and a tool part 105, which is adapted to be inserted in the tongue groove or the displacement groove of a panel.
- the tongue is compressed when the tool 100 is inserted and pushed out of the tongue groove.
- the tool part 103 comprising a protrusion or recess 106 at the one end of the tool, which is adapted to catch an end of the tongue, preferably provided with a recess or protrusion. This embodiment pulls out the tongue.
- the tool might also comprising a curved part and/or produced of an elastic material, e.g. elastic bendable plastic or metal.
- an elastic material e.g. elastic bendable plastic or metal.
- the tongue has an end part, outside the displacement and tongue groove, such that it is visible when the panels are connected.
- the end part is adapted to be easy to grab and used when pulling out the tongue.
- a floor panel with a flexible tongue could also be taken up using the conventional methods adapted to taking up floor panels with a conventional non-flexible tongue, e.g. angling-angling, angling-sliding, snapping-sliding or snapping-angling.
- the method to produce a separate tongue, which is inserted into a groove could of course be used to save material and improve friction properties even if the tongue is not flexible or displaceable.
- the methods and principle could also be used together with a flexible tongue that could be bent in vertical direction up and/or down during locking.
- Extruded V- or U-shaped sections were an outer or inner part is flexible and which could cause at least a part of the section to move essentially horizontally during the vertical folding could also be used to lock floorboards in a vertical direction, according to the same basic principal as the above described flexible tongue.
- the system could be used to connect tile shaped panes installed on a wall and.
- the tile could be connected to each other and to a locking member fixed to the wall.
- the flexible tongue according to the invention may be used without the locking strip to accomplish vertical locking only.
