| 20120073235 | APPARATUS FOR PREMOUNTING OF LOCKING ELEMENTS TO A PANEL - The apparatus mounts a locking element into a groove in an edge of a panel. An advance device feeds a stream of locking elements to a pressing device which mounts the locking elements into the groove on the edge of the panel. The locking elements are fed from a line of locking elements stored on a reel. A separating device cuts the line of locking elements into individual locking elements. The separating device is positioned either upstream of the advancing device or immediately upstream of the pressing device. When the separating device is immediately upstream of the pressing device, a spring is used to flex the stream during the short stoppage when the separating device separates individual locking elements from the line of locking elements. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20120011796 | PANEL AND FASTENING SYSTEM FOR SUCH PANEL - A fastening system for floor panels, which has profiles on small faces of the panels. Opposite retaining profiles match so that similar panels can be interlinked. The panels have opposite first retaining profiles configured so on a panel in first line, a new panel can be locked in second line by attaching the new panel to the installed panel at an angle relative to the installed panel and then swiveling it down into the plane of the installed panel. The panel has opposite second retaining elements that have corresponding hook elements. A hook connection can be established by a hook element of the new panel and hook element of a panel already installed in second line by swiveling the new panel. Every hook connection is associated with an additional locking element that prevents the release of the hook connection in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the installed panels. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20100239820 | LAMINATED DECORATIVE PLATE AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention relates to a laminated decorative plate comprising a core made of a fiber or particle material, a resinous intermediate layer on at least one side of the core, a decorative layer not impregnated with resin and having a graphic image of the surface of the imitated material, and a transparent core layer, into which the relief-like reproduction of the surface structure of the imitated material is stamped. The intermediate layer is made of liquid glue, curable by pressure and/or heat, that is applied to the core. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100043333 | PANEL AND FLOOR COVERING - A panel with a working surface and four edges of which oppositely disposed pairs of edges have corresponding holding profiles so similar panels are connectable. Holding profiles of a first pair of edges are connectable by angular movement into interlocking relationship Holding profiles of a second pair of edges are hook elements, which are connectable to similar adjacent panels by joining movement provided a hook element is a separate vertical locking element projecting toward joining movement of the hook elements. During joining, the vertical locking element is movable out of the path of joining movement and when hooked, the hook elements are movable toward the joining movement by spring action. When dismantling, connected panels are unlockable from hooked and vertically locked condition by pivoting about an axis near the hooked edges and toward an unlocking position. The working surfaces, when unlocked, are less than 180° relative to each other. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20090126308 | PANEL AND PANEL FASTENING SYSTEM - The Invention relates to a panel fastening system, especially floor panels, whose narrow sides are fitted with retaining profiles, whereby the retaining profile of a front narrow side and the retaining profile of the opposite back narrow side and the retaining profile of a left narrow side and the retaining profile of the opposite right narrow side of a panel match each other in such a way that similar panels can be fixed to one another, whereby the mutually matching retaining profiles have complementary hook elements that can be hooked into one another and the hook elements have retaining surfaces by means of which the panels are held against each other when mounted in such a way that a gap-free surface is obtained. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090049787 | FLOOR PANEL PROVIDED WITH A CORE MADE OF A DERIVED TIMBER PRODUCT, A DECORATIVE LAYER AND LOCKING SECTIONS - The rectangular floor panel comprises a core of timber material, a decorative layer on the top and pairs of opposite side edges with complementary form-fitting hooked profiles. A receiving hook facing the lower side of the floor panel and a retaining hook located on the opposite side edge and facing the top side of the floor panel. The receiving and retaining hooks are provided with a distal side surface, one having at least one projecting interlocking element and another having an associated receiving pocket. The retaining hook is lockable with the receiving hook by vertical movement. The interlocking element and the top side of the floor panel are separated by at least one gap corresponding to one third the total thickness of the floor panel. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20080236088 | Locking Element for a Fixing System for Plate-Shaped Panels, a Fixing System with Said Locking Element, Panels with Said Fixing System, Methods for Locking Panels and a Method of Automatically Mounting a Locking Element to a Panel as Well as an Apparatus Therefore - The locking element for quadrangular plate-shaped panels having an insertion portion for insertion into a locking groove provided in the longitudinal direction of an edge of a first panel and a locking portion for engagement into a latching recess of an undercut configuration provided in a laid configuration of the panels in an opposite edge of a second panel and extending in the longitudinal direction of the edge and in opposite relationship to the locking groove. The locking portion includes a resilient latching tongue which during assembly of the two panels is automatically latchable into the latching recess into a latching position. The locking element has an anchor and the locking element can be captively anchored by the anchor with its insertion portion in the locking groove. A method for locking the panels and mounting the panels is also enclosed | 10-02-2008 |
