Definitions

  • Known floor panels are assembled and coupled, for example, via an adhesive connection or via a detachable mechanical connection, for example tongue and groove connection or so-called click connection.
  • a disadvantage of the known solutions is that the assembly requires a lot of expertise and that very precise machining operations required are when after laying no unwanted play the laid floor panels should occur.
  • Another disadvantage is that the surface coverings joined from the floor panels tend to creak or crackle under unfavorable climatic conditions. As ambient microclimatic conditions, humidity and temperature in the respective room with laid surface covering as well as their changes are to be understood here in particular.
  • the object of the invention is to design a plate-shaped, rectangular floor panel with profiled side surfaces, which is equipped with simple technical means, which make it possible to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages, to simplify the laying and to stabilize the laid out of the panels parquet.
  • hook-and-loop fasteners can be used both as quick-fasteners in technical areas and in households. It has been found that a floor covering made of velcro fasteners interconnected floor panels is flat and sufficiently stable, i. H. virtually remains free of play even with certain manufacturing tolerances. The connection of two floor panels by means of Velcro fasteners is sufficiently strong and durable. In addition, the joined floor panels can be easily detached from each other.
  • Another advantage is a footfall sound-absorbing effect of attached to the floor panels Velcro elements to see.
  • the Velcro elements help to avoid or limit the annoying crackling noise that occurs when running over.
  • floor panels can also be laid on walls, ceilings and facades.
  • the term "floor panel” is therefore not to be understood as limiting a floor installation.
  • the hook and loop fastener elements may each comprise a pair of velcro and mushroom bands or velor and crochet ribbons.
  • the taped to the floor panels tapes may consist of polyethylene, nylon, polyvinyl chloride, especially polyester. When joining the floor panels are preferably used Velcro and mushroom bands, since these are suitable for heavy loads.
  • muscle ribbon is also intended to encompass header-like, hook-like, flap-like head elements that may have a double J-shape, a polygonal, particularly triangular shape, a palm tree shape, and other shapes.
  • Velcro and mushroom tapes marketed by VELCRO Inc., Manchester, USA, are particularly suitable for use in the floor panels according to the invention.
  • the VELCRO tapes selected for the floor panels are thin, flexible, durable and have a very good closing performance.
  • self-adhesive tapes are preferably selected, the use of which requires only the peeling off of a protective paper and a firm pressing on the floor panel.
  • the self-adhesive VELCRO tapes are semi-permanent adhesive bonds, ie those that are suitable for a few closing cycles. With the pressed-on Velcro and mushroom bands, there is virtually no loss of holding power over time, since substantially no closing cycles of the hook-and-loop fastener are provided. A noticeable loss of holding power can normally only occur after several, for example after 30 closing cycles. This is not to be expected with the laid floor panels.
  • the VELCRO tapes (velcro and mushroom tapes) at the same time perform other functions than just the production of a mechanical hook-and-loop fastener. For example, they ensure increased sound absorption. They are permanently impregnated and have a water-repellent surface that dries quickly. They are not susceptible to small insects because they are made of synthetic polyester fibers. If the floor panels are used to create floor coverings in sanitary facilities or in hospitals, it is advisable to equip the velcro elements with antibacterial properties.
  • the Velcro elements may be attached to the longitudinal side surfaces and / or to the narrow side surfaces of the floor panels. Thus, they serve both in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction of the panel arrangement as holding elements.
  • the floor panels according to the invention may be made of wood, wood-based material, plastic or metal, in a multi-layered or solid version.
  • a three-layer, combined embodiment of wood and wood-based material is selected, which includes a wear layer, a middle core layer and a bottom layer.
  • the wear layer may be delimited with abutting surfaces running perpendicular to the tread surface. These impact surfaces or joints can reach up to the tread surface and form an edge there. The edge can also be beveled or slightly or strongly rounded in such a way that the laid floor panels form a pattern of visible, parallel to each other, the grooves imitating, funnel-shaped grooves.
  • This embodiment of the wear layer can facilitate the cleaning and dedusting of the grooves mimicking the joints.
  • stabilizing locking means can be used, which are incorporated in the material of the floor panel, in particular on the core layer and which are subject in the laying state under the action of compressive force of one or the other locking means of a linear deformation.
  • a linear deformation should be understood a straight, parallel to the Velcro element extending deformation of the core layer.
  • the first additional locking means may be formed by a wall surface portion inclined to the core layer, which is arranged on the side surface between the wear layer and the bottom layer and is set back on or above the bottom layer opposite the impact surface.
  • the second, with the first cooperating additional locking means may be formed by at least one sharp edge which protrudes over the abutment surface of the wear layer by a small amount and presses in the laying state against the inclined wall surface of the adjacent floor panel.
  • the said sharp edge may be arranged on a trapezoidal projection directed towards the bottom layer.
  • the edge is formed by an inclined wall surface of the projection arranged on the core layer and its flat surface facing the bottom layer, to which the hook-and-loop fastener element is fastened.
  • the sharp edge should be arranged parallel to the side surface course and the base surface.
  • a snap-type connection which acts in the laying state perpendicular to the laying plane.
  • the snap-type connection can be formed by a wall surface arranged on the core layer, sloping and extending into a latching nose, and by a recess of the adjacent floor panel (counter panel) which hooks in the laying state on the latching nose protruding beyond the abutting surface.
  • the recess or step can be arranged on the said projection which carries the Velcro element.
  • the floor panel according to the invention may also have known locking means such as an outwardly projecting leg with a lip and a groove for receiving this lip.
  • the lip may have in its cross-section an inverted trapezoidal shape in which the trapezoidal base is located at a free end of the lip. Accordingly, the groove may have a groove bottom wider than a clear width of the groove. Since it is difficult to push such a lip into the groove and only to realize it via the flexibility of the leg, it is proposed to round off an inner edge of the lip, so that a correspondingly inclined groove flank can slide over the resulting rounding.
  • Velcro fasteners interconnected floor panels have improved sound insulation.
  • conventional and additional locking means such as linear deformation, a stable position can be secured in all directions, in particular perpendicular to the laying plane.
  • the invention also relates to an assembled floor panels of the type mentioned above Surface coating.
  • the surface covering is preferably a floor, but can also be a wall or ceiling paneling.
  • top refers to the floor panels laid on a horizontal surface, as shown in the drawing .
  • Fig. 1 is a floor panel 100 and 100 'is shown, the rectangular in plan view of its tread surface 11 (see. Fig. 11 ) and thus has two elongate side surfaces 1.1, 2.1 and two lying on the narrow sides side surfaces 1.2, 2.2.
  • the floor panel is in Fig. 1 in longitudinal section CC according to Fig. 11 shown.
  • the floor panel 100, 100 'made of high quality wood material has in each case a core layer 3, an upper wear layer 5 and an underlayer 7. Other layer structures and materials are possible.
  • the upper wear layer 5 is defined by abutting surfaces 4.1, 4.2 sloping downwards perpendicular to the tread surface 11 (cf. Fig. 2 ) limited.
  • FIGS. 2 . 3a . 3b and 4 show two similar, joinable floor panels 100, 100 ', which may be referred to as floor panel and Gegenpaneel.
  • the opposite narrow sides (side surfaces 1.2, 2.2) of the floor panels 100, 100 ' are equipped with different head pieces, which are joined together when building the floor.
  • the floor panel 100 or 100 ' has a blocking means 50 which has a leg 10 projecting beyond the abutment surface 4.1 and terminating in an upwardly directed lip 14.
  • a blocking means 60 disposed on the opposite side has a formed on the core layer 3, trapezoidal groove 15. In the groove 15, the lip 14 of the Gegenpaneels 100 'engages (see. Fig. 2 ).
  • the groove 15 is adjacent to a trapezoidal head piece 9 (see. Fig. 3b ), the downwardly directed surface 13 of which carries a Velcro element B in the form of a VELCRO fleece band. Before applying the self-adhesive Velcro tape, the surface 13 was carefully dedusted.
  • the surface 13 of the head piece 9 merges into an inclined wall surface 16 to form a sharp edge 8, which protrudes over the impact surface 4.1 by a small amount x.
  • the amount x is in the range of 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
  • the inclined wall surface 16 with the sharp edge 8 represents an additional locking means 40.
  • the additional locking means 30 is formed by a wall surface 6, which also runs obliquely on the side face 1.1, and which is set back in its lowest area opposite the abutment face 4.1 and merges there into the leg 10.
  • the wall surface 6 forms with the leg 10 and an inner wall 33 of the lip 14 has a recess 35 for receiving the head piece 9.
  • a Velcro fastener A in the form of a self-adhesive VELCRO mushroom tape is glued.
  • the wall surface 6 and the inner wall 33 of the lip 14 are inclined by an angle ⁇ with respect to a vertical V.
  • the angle ⁇ is about 3 °.
  • the vertical V is perpendicular to a base surface 12 and the tread surface 11 and coincides with the impact surface 4.1.
  • the inclined position of Wall surface 6 and the inner wall 33 corresponds to the outline of in Fig. 3b illustrated Kop Sharings 9.
  • a conventional connection 36 is formed (cf. FIGS. 4 and 2 ), which is reinforced by the hooked coupling elements, ie lip 14 and groove 15, to the second a connection 20 (Velcro) and the third an additional, the Velcro-stabilizing lock in the form of a linear deformation region 32.
  • the deformation region 32 is in Fig. 2 schematic with a circle and in Fig. 4 indicated with a parallel to the lip 14 extending straight line.
  • the head piece 9 When swinging down (cf. Fig. 4 ) of the floor panel 100 ', the head piece 9 is pressed into the recess 35 of the Gegenpaneels until the Velcro A, B interlock with each other, the sharp edge 8 slides over the inclined wall surface 6 and presses sufficiently strong against this wall surface in the final stage of pivoting down, to form the deformation region 32 due to the material elasticity of the core layer 3.
  • FIGs 5 . 6a, 6b is a floor panel 200 and 200 'is shown, which differs from the above-described floor panel 100 only by the structure of co-operating in the laying plane E coupling elements, namely an upwardly facing trapezoidal lip 24 and a downwardly open groove 25. The remaining details of the floor panel remain unchanged.
  • the groove 25 has a groove bottom 26 whose width dimension 28 is greater than a clear width 17 (see. Fig. 6b ) of the groove 25 is. Accordingly, the lip 25 adapted to the groove 25 tapers downwardly and, together with the wall surface 6 and the lip 24 supporting legs 10 a trapezoidal Recess 18, in which an equally trapezoidal head piece 39 engages in the laying state (see. Fig. 7 ). In this case, the recess 18 has a bottom 21 which is wider than a clear width 19 of the recess 18. In order to facilitate the pushing in of the head piece 39 into the narrower recess 18 in its upper area, a rounded inner edge 29 is introduced on the lip 24 (cf. Fig. 12 ).
  • the design of the coupling elements described above contributes to the stability of the compounds of the laid floor panels together in both laying level E, as well as perpendicular to the laying level.
  • the compound 20 (Velcro, cf. Fig. 7 ) is also stabilized by additional locking elements forming the linear deformation area.
  • the Fig. 9 shows a compound of two floor panels 300, 300 'with each other, the side surfaces 2.1, 2.2 detailed in FIGS. 8a and 8b are shown.
  • the connection 20 produced by Velcro strips A, B is stabilized by a locking connection 22 acting perpendicular to the laying plane.
  • the side surface 2.1 comprises in the present case an additional locking means 31 (see. Fig. 8a ), which is formed by an inclined wall surface portion 23 and the latching nose 34. The latter protrudes by a small amount y over the impact surface 4.1, which is about 0.3 mm in size.
  • the projecting leg 10 also carries an upwardly pointing lip 14.
  • a second additional locking means 41 On the second side surface 2.1 is a second additional locking means 41 (see. Fig. 8b ) to see that from one Headpiece 49 and the recess 27 (step) is formed.
  • the equipped with a rounding 42 head piece 49 is undercut by the groove 15, in which the lip 14 engages (see. Fig. 9 ).
  • FIG. 10 two identical floor panels 400, 400 'are shown, which essentially correspond to the structure of the floor panels 100, 100'.
  • the hook-and-loop fastener element A (mushroom band) is embedded flush in the leg 10, so that the wall surfaces 6 and 16 are higher in comparison to the total height of the panel than in the embodiments with attached Velcro element A.
