Abstract: A wood floor system comprises a plurality of parallel rows (10a, 10b . . . 10z) of floorboards (10) laid end-to-end, and each of the floorboards (10) includes a compression nub (20) extending along a side surface (13) thereof, adjacent the top surface ( ). These compression nubs (20) affirmatively engage an opposing side surface (14) of an adjacent floorboard row (10a), thereby sealing, or isolating, the top surface of the floor from the side surfaces (13, 14) of the floorboard rows (10a, 10b . . . 10z). This uniformly distributes expansion and contraction forces throughout the floor, due to uniform spacing between the floorboard rows (10a, 10b . . . 10z). The isolation of the floorboard upper surface from the side surfaces (13, 14) also prevents undesired downward migration or flow of liquid finishing solution (28), which can have serious adverse affects for a wood floor. The invention reduces the total volume of finishing solution necessary for finishing the floor. It also reduces nulloverwoodnull during floor installation, and helps to assure uniform and consistent engagement of tongues (17) and grooves (16) along the length of the floorboard rows (10a, 10b . . . 10z).
Abstract translation: 一种木地板系统包括多个平行排(10a,10b,...,10z)的地板(10),该地板(10)的端对端设置,并且每个地板(10)包括一个沿着侧面 表面(13)邻近顶面()。 这些压缩块(20)肯定地接合相邻地板块行(10a)的相对的侧表面(14),从而将地板的顶表面与地板块行的侧表面(13,14)密封或隔离 10a,10b ... 10z)。 由于地板块行(10a,10b,...,10z)之间的均匀间隔,这一点在整个地板上均匀地分布了伸缩力。 地面板上表面与侧表面(13,14)之间的隔离也可以防止液态抛光液(28)的不希望的向下移动或流动,这可能对木地板产生严重的不利影响。 本发明减少了整理地板所需的整理溶液的总体积。 它还减少了地板安装过程中的“超硬”,并且有助于确保沿着地板块行(10a,10b ... 10z)的长度的舌部(17)和凹槽(16)的均匀且一致的接合。
