| 20120042598 | Acknowledgement of review of papers and duty of candor - A set of panels comprises a first panel having a first edge including an undercut which accommodates a fastening member, and a second panel having a second edge including a locking region. The first and second edges are positioned adjacent to each other when the panels are fastened to each other by means of the fastening member. The fastening member comprises a displaceable activating portion and a locking portion which is displaceable with respect to the first panel upon displacement of the activating portion in opposite direction of the displacement of the activating portion such that the locking portion engages the locking region of the second panel when the panels are fastened to each other by means of the fastening member. The activating portion is intended to be contacted by the second panel upon moving the second panel and the first panel with respect to each other to a fastened condition and the locking portion is intended to fasten the first and second panels with respect to each other at least perpendicularly to the direction of displacement of the locking portion. The activating portion is spaced from the locking portion in a direction substantially parallel to the first edge. | 02-23-2012 |
| 20110300392 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING FLOOR PANELS CONTAINING WOOD/PLASTIC COMPOSITE, AS WELL AS SUCH PANELS - A method of manufacturing floor panels comprising at least one layer containing wood/plastic composite (WPC) adjacent an upper surface of the panels includes the step of providing a granulate of WPC in which natural fibers are encapsulated in polymer plastics which has been colored to a desired color for the upper surface. To form a sheet, a layer of granulate is melted and pressed. If several layers are used, only the upper layer is colored. The sheet is finished to form one or more panels. The coloring is done to imitate natural materials at least on the upper surface of the panel. Additional features can be taken to improve the appearance of the upper surface. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20100260969 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A PRESS PLATE, A PRESS PLATE, A METHOD OF EMBOSSING A FLOOR PANEL, AND A FLOOR PANEL - A method of manufacturing a press plate for applying a surface structure onto a floor panel, wherein the press plate includes a press plate surface, comprises the following steps: first fine projections are created on the press plate surface, then the resulting fine projections are covered by a surface treatment resistant material, and subsequently the press plate surface including the resistant material is submitted to a surface treatment. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100196678 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A LAMINATE PANEL, AN APPARATUS AND A LAMINATE PANEL - A method of manufacturing a laminate panel comprises the steps of providing a support panel having at least one side to be decorated and applying an overlay on said side of the support panel. A finishing decoration pattern is printed on the support panel and/or the overlay by a printing device which is substantially free of contact with the support panel and/or the overlay, respectively. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100009102 | METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING A LARGE SURFACE PANEL, A LARGE SURFACE PANEL, AND A SET OF INDIVIDUAL PANELS - The invention provides a method of manufacturing a large surface panel, which has a decoration layer with a repetitive decoration layer pattern, and a repetitive surface structure pattern, wherein the frequencies of the repetitive patterns of the surface structure and the decoration layer are different. The invention also provides a set of individual panels. The individual panels are cut out from the large surface panel and can be collected and wrapped into a package. The package comprises at least a plurality of individual panels having identical decoration layer patterns, but different surface structure patterns. The invention provides large surface panels and individual panels which present a very good imitation of panels made of a natural material. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100000172 | COVERING PANEL WITH BEVELLED EDGES HAVING VARYING CROSS-SECTION, AND APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - A panel for use in an assembly of panels is attached to each other to form a covering. The panel comprises an upper surface and a lower surface each extending within a different main plane, and at least an edge between these surfaces comprising a coupling to couple the panel to a coupling of another panel. The upper surface includes a lowered part at said edge and the cross-section of the lowered part, perpendicular to the edge of the panel, varies along the edge. Such a panel provides a good imitation of a panel made of natural materials. The invention also provides an appropriate method to make such a panel. | 01-07-2010 |
