Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection for floor panels according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a disadvantage of this known solution is that the lower groove cheek must each be designed to be elastic in order to bring about the locking intervention can. In unfavorable conditions, such as material defects or excessive stress on the elastically deflectable lower groove cheek or swelling due to moisture and temperature influence, it may happen that in the connection area of the lower groove cheek cracks, so that they can no longer fulfill their locking function.
  • the panels are preferably connected to each other by pushing together in the horizontal direction.
  • Some customers prefer to connect the panels by angle with each other, wherein an already laid panel a panel to be laid is placed in an inclined position along the longitudinal edge, so that, for example, the spring of the panel to be laid dips into the groove of the laid panel.
  • the panel to be laid is folded down from its oblique position, wherein the groove is completely immersed in the spring and horizontal interlocking means engage each other so that the two panels are locked along the longitudinal edge in both the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction.
  • the problem with such a solution is that the lock on the shorter end or transverse edges in the above Einschwenkvorgang is difficult to produce, so that - depending on the constructive solution - along the front edges either no vertical locking or this can be produced only with considerable effort.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a simple design push-button connection with reliable locking.
  • floor panels can be connected along two edges by lowering or pivoting one panel in the direction of the other panel.
  • each dowel elements which are assigned to each other in pairs.
  • the axes of a pair of dowels are approximately offset in the lowering direction and in the direction of the edge in such a way that the dowel elements of the first floor panel engage behind the dowel elements of the second floor panel in order to lock the floor panels.
  • the associated dowel elements of the floor panels are at least partially abutting each other, whereby a lock is made possible without a game between the dowel elements.
  • the dowel elements can be cost-effective components in the form of connecting dowels with a substantially circular cylindrical cross-section.
  • the lateral surfaces of the connecting dowel may be formed with a friction surface.
  • the connecting dowels have on their outer periphery to increase a positive connection, for example, longitudinal grooves.
  • the connecting dowels cost of plastic.
  • the connecting dowels are for example introduced vertically in the respective end edges of the floor panels.
  • outer connecting dowels are used in the front edge of a floor panel, which have a larger center distance to one another than two inner connecting dowels used in the front edge of the other floor panel.
  • connection dowels in the vertical direction at a greater distance to a panel surface than the inner connection dowel, to allow a rear engagement of the associated connection dowels.
  • High locking forces are achieved if the measured parallel to the panel surface horizontal distance of two longitudinal axes of adjacent Ver-dowels at most one dowel diameter and the vertical distance of the longitudinal axes corresponds approximately to a dowel radius.
  • a further connecting dowel can be inserted in each case into the end edges of the floor panels such that one connecting dowel is arranged centrally and the other two dowels are arranged at a distance from the adjacent longitudinal edge.
  • the locking forces can thus be distributed quite evenly along the end edges.
  • connection dowels are roofed in the horizontal direction of a dowel cover at an end edge, which in the installed state of several floor panels an approximately flat panel surface can be achieved.
  • a hook connection for horizontal locking is provided on the front edges of the floor panels in addition to locking with connecting dowel.
  • connecting dowels for example, free spaces are introduced into a hook spring and a hook projection of the hook connection around a respective connecting dowel, whereby the dowels diverge when laying the floor panels in the open spaces and can engage behind unhindered by the hook connection.
  • parquet panels The invention will be described below with reference to a connection profile developed for parquet panels.
  • the application is by no means limited to such parquet panels, but can also be transferred to laminate flooring or other panels for floor, wall or ceiling paneling.
  • the panels (planks) of a parquet floor usually have a rectangular shape, with a so-called lock connection is used along the longer longitudinal edges, in which the panels are connected by an angle.
  • Such lock connections Lock-Connect
  • the compound of the invention is provided at the shorter end edges of the parquet panels.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a first end edge 2 of a floor panel 1 according to the invention according to a first embodiment.
  • first end edge 2 of the floor panel 1 three locking pins in the form of connecting dowels 4, 6, 8 are introduced vertically with a substantially circular cylindrical cross-section for locking in the installed state of the floor panels.
  • Three further arranged in a second end edge of the floor panel 1 connecting dowels 10, 12, 14 are dashed to simplify explanation also in this side view located.
  • the cross-sectional view of the formed on the longitudinal edges 16, 18 of the floor panel 1 lock connection 20 is shown.

  • the connecting dowels 4 to 8 of the first end edge 2 of the first floor panel 1, see also FIG. 1 engage behind the connecting dowels 10 to 14 of the second end edge 24 of the adjacent second floor panel 22, so that the two floor panels 1, 22 are locked in the vertical direction.
  • a horizontal locking is also effected by the frictional engagement between the connecting dowels 4 to 14.
  • a dowel cover 26 in FIG. 2 is formed approximately at the upper third of the floor panel 1 along the end edge 2, while covered the connecting dowel 4 to 8 and rests with a contact surface 30 at the front edge 24 of the floor panel 22, whereby the floor panels 2, 22 in the connected state a largely flat panel surface 34th form.

By self-locking or gluing these can not fall out of the dowel receptacles 36 during transport of the floor panels 2, 22.

  • the connecting dowels 4, 6, 8 and 10, 12, 14 are arranged offset from each other in the vertical direction, wherein the connecting dowels 4, 6, 8 of the first end edge 2 sections below and the connecting dowels 10, 12, 14 of the second end edge 24 (see FIG. 2 ) approximately on a dashed line Center plane 38 of the floor panel 2 are.
  • the longitudinal axes of the connecting dowels 4, 6, 8 and 10, 12, 14 maximum one dowel radius in the vertical direction in FIG. 1 separated from each other.
  • the connecting dowels 10, 12, 14 of the second end edge 24 are in this case from the dowel cover 26 FIG. 2 slightly spaced in the vertical direction.
  • connection dowels 6 and 12 are approximately centrally to the respective end edge 2 and 24 (see FIG. 2 ) and the remaining connection dowels 4, 10 and 8, 14 are respectively spaced from the longitudinal edges 16 and 18 so that a reliable vertical locking along the end edges 2, 24 is achieved.
  • the clamping forces are dependent on a dowel distance of the respective kausdübelpärchen 42, 44 and 46 and can be constructive about the dowel spacing to be changed. For example, the clamping forces are smaller with a larger dowel spacing.
  • the distance between the longitudinal axes of the connecting dowels 4, 10; 6, 12 and 8, 14 is, in order to ensure a respective abutment, at most the diameter of a connecting dowel 4 to 14.
