20130111837 | COVERING, AS WELL AS PANELS AND AUXILIARY PIECES USED THEREWITH - A floor covering formed by a plurality of panels each having two opposite edges arranged to couple adjacent panels to each other. The coupling parts include a tongue and a groove, as well as locking parts preventing the drifting apart of two such adjacent panels. A separately manufactured insert is provided between at least two of the coupled panels, and the tongue and groove. The insert comprises at least two portions functioning as fixed spacing elements with a first portion between the upper side of the tongue and the lower side of the upper lip, and a second portion between the locking parts. | 05-09-2013 |
20130192158 | FLOOR PANEL - A floor panel having two opposite edges including coupling parts with a configuration that allows the coupling parts to be brought into each other by a downward movement. The coupling parts allow locking in the plane of the panels and perpendicular to the edges by way of locking parts in the form of hook-shaped parts. In a coupled condition, the locking parts have contact surfaces which engage one behind the other. The contact surfaces, when viewed in a top view of the panel, globally extend in one or more directions different from the direction of the upper edges. | 08-01-2013 |
20140111076 | Drawer, Drawer Construction and Method for Manufacturing a Drawer - A method for manufacturing drawers in which the drawers comprise walls, and a bottom. At least first and second walls comprise a tongue and a groove with locking parts. The respective groove is provided on the interior side of the first wall, whereas the respective tongue is provided on the distal end of the second wall. The first and second walls are manufactured of respectively one board. | 04-24-2014 |
20150047284 | PANEL - A panel, with a horizontally and vertically active locking system, which allows two of such floor panels to be connected to each other at their sides by providing one of these floor panels, by means of a downward movement. The vertically active locking element comprises a locking element in the form of an insert and comprises at least a pivotable lock-up body and an attachment portion. The pivotable lock-up body and the attachment portion, in the non-coupled condition, horizontally extend at least for a part underneath each other and maintain a vertical mutual distance. | 02-19-2015 |
20150252573 | Flooring industries limited SARL - A set of panels, especially floor panels, comprising panels with a first edge, a second edge opposite the first edge, and a third edge and a fourth edge opposite the third edge, wherein each edge has a supporting profile, suitable to forming with a supporting element of the opposite edge of a similar panel a connection between the panels, the supporting profile of the first edge or the supporting profile of the second edge having a locking element, which in a locking position serves for locking and in an installation position allows joining or separating of the supporting profiles along this direction, and in the laid state a first panel and a second panel form a row within a laying plane, while coupling is provided by which the locking element performs a blockable forced movement, and when forced movement is blocked the locking element is held in the locking position, and when not blocked the locking element can be moved from locking position if the supporting profiles are moved. | 09-10-2015 |
20150320210 | Methods for Manufacturing a Drawer - A method for manufacturing drawers, wherein the drawers comprise walls as well as a bottom, and at least a first and a second of the walls comprise a tongue and a groove with locking parts. The respective groove is provided on the inner side of the first wall, whereas the respective tongue is provided on the distal end of the second wall. The first wall and second wall are manufactured of respectively one board. | 11-12-2015 |
20150337542 | Floor Panel for Forming a Floor Covering, Floor Covering Formed of such Floor Panels, and Method for Manufacturing such Floor Panels - A floor panel for forming a floor covering includes coupling parts on at least one pair of opposite arranged to allow that two of such floor panels can be joined by means of a downward movement (M) of one floor panel in respect to the other floor panel. The coupling parts allow a locking in a first direction perpendicular to the plane of the floor panels as well as in a second direction perpendicular to the respective edge and in the plane of the floor panels. A longitudinal recess located on at least one of the edges is present underneath the upper surface with a locking element. The shape and/or the position of the recess and/or the configuration of the coupling parts is such that deformations are avoided. | 11-26-2015 |
20160000220 | Composed Element and Corner Connection Applied Herewith - Composed element, with at least two wood-based panel-shaped elements; wherein said panel-shaped elements can be coupled to each other at an angle and with a miter joint by means of a locking tongue and groove connection; wherein the tongue consists of a split tongue, with thus at least a first tongue portion and a second tongue portion, as well as a slit situated there between; characterized in that said slit, seen in cross-section, globally extends according to a direction which deviates from the direction of the center line of the panel-shaped element on which the tongue is provided. | 01-07-2016 |
