| 20110117340 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING PANELS AND PANEL PRODUCED ACCORDING TO THE METHOD - A method for producing panels and a panel produced according to the method is provided. The method includes the following steps: a) providing a large-format, press blank particle board made of wood material including a press skin created during production at least on the top side thereof; b) grinding off a part of the press skin from the top side of the particle board; c) applying a base coat made of a liquid melamine-based resin to the top side of the particle board, wherein the resin diffuses at least partially into the top edge layer of the particle board, and at least penetrates and treats the remaining area of the press skin; d) drying the base coat; e) applying a primer over the base coat; f) drying the primer; g) applying at least one water-based paint enriched by pigments for generating a decoration; h) drying the decoration; i) applying a seal made of at least one melamine-based resin enriched with wear-resistant particles and cellulose fibers; j) drying the seal; k) applying a base coast made of a liquid melamine-based resin to the bottom side of the particle board, wherein the resin diffuses at least partially into the bottom edge layer of the particle board; l) drying the base coat; m) applying a counterpart to the bottom of the particle board; n) pressing the layer construction under the effect of pressure and temperature; o) cutting the particle board into panels of the desired width and length; p) applying binding agents and locking elements to opposite side edges for binding and locking a plurality of panels into a floating laid composite floor. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110094178 | PANEL, ESPECIALLY FLOOR PANEL - A panel, especially floor panel comprises a core produced of a wood product or a mixture of a wood product/synthetic material. The panel includes a top and a bottom, and is provided with mating hook elements on at least two opposite lateral edges thereof. The first hook element is formed by a profiled section which is essentially open to the top and the second hook element is formed by a profiled section which is essentially open to the bottom. The profiled section on the first hook element forms a projection which is essentially facing the top and on the second hook element forms a projection which is essentially open to the bottom. Two identical panels can be interconnected and interlocked by an essentially vertical joining movement in the horizontal and the vertical direction. At least one of the projections is deviated during the joining movement in the horizontal direction and then snaps into a locking edge which extends essentially in the horizontal direction to vertically lock the panels. At least one of the hook elements has a segmented design, thereby forming a plurality of parallel interspaced spring elements. The panel according to the invention is characterized in that the spring elements are diagonally arranged at an angle to the longitudinal axis. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110059239 | BUILDING BOARD AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION - A building board, in particular of wooden material, plastic or a mixture of wooden material and plastic, with a top side and an underside and side edges. A polyurethane layer is applied at least on the top side. A decorative layer imitating a natural material is applied onto the polyurethane layer. | 03-10-2011 |

A protective layer is applied of melamine resin to the decoration and the board is pressed under the action of temperature until the protective layer and the sealing layer melt and bond to each other with the inclusion of the decoration printed on. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090173032 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LOCKING TWO BUILDING BOARDS - A device for locking two building boards connected to one another, in particular flooring panels with a core of wood material or wood material/plastic mixture, in a direction (V) perpendicular to a visible side. The device includes a first building board with a lateral edge (I) and a first groove provided in the core of the building board and running parallel to the visible side. The device further includes at least one second building board with a lateral edge (II) and with a second groove provided in the core of the building board and running parallel to the visible side, and a locking element that is placed in the first groove of the first building board in order to engage in the second groove of the second building board, when both grooves have reached an overlapping position after the connection of the building boards by a vertical lowering movement. To lock the two building boards in a direction (H) parallel to the visible side, on one of the lateral edges (I), a lower lip projecting beyond this laterally with an outer projection projecting upwards is provided. On the lateral edge (II) lying opposite this lateral edge (I) a recess is provided directed towards an underside, which recess is embodied in a manner corresponding to the projection. The locking element can be bent out in the transverse direction (H) by forces acting thereon in the longitudinal direction. The locking element has at least one projection facing the groove base, which projection engages in a recess provided in the groove and projects into the core and can thus be locked in place based on the longitudinal direction (L). | 07-09-2009 |
