Definitions

  • This invention relates to a floor of the kind disclosed in the introductory part of claim 1.
  • US Patent Specification No. US-B1-6802159 discloses a floor constructed from a plurality of interacting floor panels, wherein each floor panel is provided with panel portions in two abutting edge areas. Said portions project slightly out of the main shape of the floor panel. The bottommost portion of each floor panel is provided with a plurality of projections in the two edge areas slightly projecting out of the main shape of the panel. Said projections extend upwards from the floor panel and are provided with locking holes for receiving locking projections extending down-wards from the bottom side of adjacent floor panels.
  • the panels of this floor will have a tendency to loosen from each other if the amount of fluid present in the area of the projections is too big; the fluid will work like a sort of lubrication between the panels which is not satisfactory.
  • each floor panel is provided with two upwardly extending projections. Between a vertical wall on said panel and one projection of said two projections, and between said two projections, two corresponding downwardly extending projections of a neighboring floor panel may extend. Such a "grip" between two sets of projections is not disclosed in connection with the present invention.
  • the object' of the invention is to provide a floor of the type mentioned above and which provides a considerably improved cohesion when subjected to forces in the floor's own plane, and which is relatively lighter.
  • the floor according to the invention is defined in claim 1.
  • each floor panel may comprise an arrangement for further draining off liquid by means of an auxiliary wall system at least in the regions abutting said projections provided with holes, said auxiliary wall system preferably comprising walls arranged like "squares", where each square is provided with at least one opening, preferably several openings, to adjacent squares, and where at least one, optionally two crescent-shaped wall portions are arranged around the centre of each square, the centres of curvature of said crescent-shaped wall portions preferably being the same as the centre of the corresponding square.
  • each floor panel may be adapted so as to fasten so-called "pads" in order to support the floor panel, if an underlying floor on which the inventive floor is laid, slopes or is uneven.
  • the floor may be levelled in a comparatively simple manner, if the underlying floor turns out to have an oblique portion.
  • the floor panels may be of different sizes, however built from the same basic module (a), where each floor panel has a width or length which is n times the width or length of the basic module, wherein n ⁇ 1. In practise, this has been shown to be suitable for the manufacture of the floor according to the invention.
  • the floor panels may be laid on the underlying floor without the use of glue, the layers of each floor panel being made of cork, sisal, natural fibres, textiles, plastics, polypropylene, wood or wood veneer.
  • the finished floor may be provided with a suitable appearance or a suitable walking surface in a simple manner.
  • the floor panel 1 illustrated in Fig. 1 which together with a plurality of corresponding floor panels can form a floor 2, as illustrated in Fig. 2 , consists of a top layer 5 and a bottom layer 6.
  • the floor panels are laid on top of an underlying floor 40, cf. Fig. 2 .
  • each floor panel 1 is provided with panel portions 14 slightly projecting out of the main shape of the floor panel.
  • the bottommost part of each floor panel 1, preferably the bottom layer 6, is provided with a plurality of projections 17 at the two edge areas 12, 13 slightly projecting out of the main shape of the floor panel, said projections extending upwards from the floor panel.
  • projections 17 are provided with locking throughholes 19 - optionally only locking indentations - said locking holes having the function to receive locking projections (i. e. locking projections corresponding to locking projections 21) extending downwards from the bottom side of adjacent floor panels (not shown);
  • Fig. 1 shows, how the locking projections 21 of the floor panel 1 are arranged.
  • the locking projections 21 of an adjacent floor panel may interact with the locking holes 19 of the floor panel 1, as illustrated in Fig. 1 .
  • the design of the projections 17 on the panel portions 14 corresponds to several not visible projections of the panel portions 14 behind the rear edge area 13 (on top in Fig, 1 ).
  • the non-visible edge area on the far left-hand side of Fig. 1 is designed in the same way as shown for an edge region 11 in Fig. 1 .
  • Each locking hole 19 or indentation of each floor panel 1 may be elongated. It has a length 1 of 8-12 times the width b of the locking hole 19 or indentation.
  • each projection 17 corresponds to approximately 0,5 times the thickness t 1 of the bottom layer 6 of the floor panel.
  • a transverse groove 22 is provided in the middle of each locking projection 21 for draining off liquid. Such a groove 22 may also be provided in each projection 17.
  • Each locking projection consists of two walls 21a and 21b arranged in parallel, as illustrated in Fig. 3 .
  • Each wall has a thickness t 2 of 0,75-1,5 mm and a height k of 2,9-3,1 mm.
  • the mutual distance z between the walls 21a and 21b is 1,4-1,8 mm.
  • each floor panel abutting said projections provided with locking holes 19 may comprise an arrangement for draining off liquid in the form of an auxiliary wall system.
  • it consists of walls 30, 31, 32, 33 arranged in "squares" or “rectangles", where each "square” or “rectangle” is provided with at least one opening 35, preferably several openings 35, 36, to adjacent squares or rectangles. Not all openings 35, 36 are shown. This is done to maintain the clarity of the figure.
  • At least two crescent-shaped wall portions 37a, 37b, 37a', 37b' may be arranged around the centre C of each square or rectangle.
  • the centres of curvature of these crescent-shaped wall portions are identical with the centre C of the corresponding square or rectangle. It should be noted that only very few rectangles (or squares) are illustrated in Fig. 3 . In practice, a square floor panel may, for example, have 112 complete or half "squares".
  • the floor panel is particularly suitable for engaging so-called "pads” (i. e. pieces of filling material) placed between itself and an underlying floor 40 whereon the floor according to the invention is to be laid, if each floor panel is provided with a bottom side corresponding to the one illustrated in Fig. 3 . If the underlying floor 40 slopes or is uneven and said "pads" are not used, there is a risk that the finished floor will slope or be uneven.
  • pads i. e. pieces of filling material
  • each floor panel 1' may have different sizes, but may still be constructed from a basic module a.
  • each floor panel 1' has a width a and a length of, for example, three times a; in general, it can be said that each floor panel has a dimension (length and/or width) of n times a, where n ⁇ 1.
  • the floor panels may be laid on the underlying floor 40 without the use of glue.
  • the top layer 5 of each floor panel 1, 1' may be of cork, sisal, natural fibres, textiles, plastics, wood or wood veneer.
  • the top layer 5 and the bottom layer 6 of each floor panel 1, 1' are of the same material.
  • each floor panel is designed as in Figs. 1 or 3 , but for the sake of clarity of Figs. 2 and 4 said edge portions are not shown therein.
