Abstract:
The present invention relates to a surface covering (100) comprising panels (200) and at least one extraneous locking element (300). The panels (200) are provided with respective longitudinal and transverse coupling means (400, 500) which are adapted to connect similar panels (200) at corresponding adjacent edges (211, 211′, 213, 213′). The transverse coupling means (500) are adapted to form a channel (501) in coupled condition which is adapted to receive the extraneous locking element (300). When inserted into the channel (501) formed by the transverse coupling means (500) of panels (200) in a first row (206), the extraneous locking element is adapted to extend at least partially into the groove (430) of an adjacent parallel panel in the second row (207), such that a lower surface (305) of the extraneous locking element (300) is in contact with a lower lip contact portion (433), and the upper surface (307) of the extraneous locking element (300) is in contact with an upper lip contact portion (437).
Abstract:
Floor panels (1, 1′) are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system including a flexible tongue (10) in a displacement groove (11). The flexible tongue (10) may be formed from the core material (5) of the floor panels and inserted during production into the displacement groove (11). The locking system may be locked with vertical folding.
Abstract:
A surface covering kit is disclosed, comprising a plurality of generally rectangular panels (100). Each panel is provided with grooves (301, 302, 301′, 302′) forming an insertion channel (303) when two panels (100) are laid next to each other along their transverse sides (105, 105′) in a common laying plane (101). An extraneous locking element (210) is received by the insertion channel (303), the extraneous locking element (210) having a longitudinal dimension and a cross-section perpendicular to said longitudinal dimension which forms a cross with at least four cross arms. The corresponding cross arms of the insertion channel have two parallel flank surfaces (1603, 1604) each, and each of the cross arms is oriented diagonally in a plane perpendicular to the panel plane (102).
