The technical field to which the invention relates

This application claim the benefits of provisional application, US no 61/223,896, filed on July 8, 2009, based on 35 U.S.C. 119 (e).

The present invention relates to a floor panel.

More specifically, it refers to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements in the form of covered docking element and covering docking element respectively, which allow a connection between two such panels on these sides, with one panel, drop another to insert covered by the element of one panel in an enclosing element panel to ensure mutual panel fixation, at least in the horizontal direction.

The level of technology

Connecting elements, allowing for the mutual coupling of the two sex panels by lowering one panel to another, in practice, are subdivided into two types: connecting the elements of the first type provide only horizontal fixation, but not vertical, and the connecting elements of the second type provide both the horizontal and vertical hold.

The connecting elements of the first type are known as system «» (drop-in systems). Flooring panels, supplied them on the two opposing sides are known, among other things, CA 991.373 and JP 07-300979. As we know from the data of patent documents, such «system » is often used only on the first pair of opposite sides of the floor panel, while the second pair of opposite parties are subject to the connecting elements, which provide both vertical and horizontal mutual fixation of the two sex panels, coupled between them, and allow mutual docking panels by rotating relative to each other. The advantage of panels with such a combination of run-off is that such panels can be easily stowed in the form of consecutive rows by joining each new panel with panels of the previous row due to rotation of the new panel relatively lying panel, laid panel simultaneously in already laid previous panel in the same series. Thus, laying such flooring panels require only their rotation and dropping, which makes this method of installation is especially convenient.

The disadvantage of flooring panels with such connecting elements is that due to the lack of fixation in the vertical direction upper surface of the coupled between the panels can be on different levels. For example, such panel, located in the first or last row flooring, can be rotated up, if they have been committed to the baseboard and the .. if such panels is equipped with the system «» only on one pair of the parties, and on the other pair is fixed in horizontal and vertical directions relative to the adjacent panels, the parties adjacent panels connected together in a system of «», can be on different levels, for example, at different loading of two adjacent panels or slight and bending one panel with respect to another.

Attempts were made to resolve the above lack using to connect the elements of the second type, the so-called systems of connection in the lock with a latch», when there is mutual vertical fixing of panels. Such a system of connections in the lock with a latch can be subdivided into two groups - systems made at the same time to the whole panel, and system containing private castle element, which is made in the form of an insert or forms part of, the box can be both fixed and not fixed on the panel itself.

Options for implementation of the castle elements at the same time a whole are known, among other things, patent documents DE 29924454, DE 20008708, DE 20112474, DE 102004001363, DE 102004055951, EP 1.282.752 and EP 1.350.904. The disadvantage of interlocking elements made at the same time to the whole panel, are their large size and that they can not always guarantee the effective coupling of the two sex between panels.

Options for implementation of the castle items as separate elements that contribute to vertical, and in some cases - and horizontal fixation between two coupled flooring panels, are known, among other things, patent documents DE 202007000310, DE 102004001363, DE 102005002297, EP 1.159.497, EP 1.415.056 B1, EP 1.818.478, WO 2004/079130, WO 2005/054599, WO 2006/043893, WO 2006/104436, WO 2007/008139, WO 2007/079845, SE 515324 and DE 202008008597. The advantage of using a separate lock of the is that the material can be selected regardless of the material of the panel that let you tailor the castle element to a specific task. Therefore, such inserts can be made, for example, of synthetic material or metal, that allows to get strong and at the same time easily clickable areas that can perceive a relatively large load with minimal contact area.

In WO 2004/079130 are examples of the implementation of the systems that use locks with latch», and such a system contains a private castle element that contributes to mutual horizontal fixation of two panels, coupled between them.

Use the inserts that contains the lock body, floating through the hinge, and the lower part, allows you to precisely control the movement and position of the castle of the body. In addition, thanks to a special hinge lock body always turns around relatively accurately fixed region, due to the lower part of the box is always located in the same position in the absence of errors.

Preferably, swivel lock body, installed on the box near the end, opposite the free end - could be rotated along or against the hard surface belonging to the base part of the panel. First, it provides at least the exact location of the upper side of the castle body in a vertical direction, and secondly, lock body ensures optimum effect props.

The second aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be joined together; and the data connecting elements form a system of horizontal fixation and vertical system of fixation; the system of horizontal fixation contains the male element in the form of turned down the ledge and enclosing element containing the nest, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface horizontal fixation; the male element and an enclosing element allow a connection between the two sex panels on these sides by lowering one panel to the other so that the male element one panel entered the enclosing element other panel, the system of vertical fixing contains a vertical fixing, which forms part of the inserts placed on covering the element; the insert contains, at least one lock of the body relating to the castle element, and one on the bottom), which is at least partially under the ledge when the two panels are connected among themselves; the panel distinguished the fact that the box is a strip of synthetic material, which contains a cross-section area of synthetic material with different properties, and more specifically of varying flexibility.

Advantage strip of synthetic material is that different parts of the strip can be attributed to a completely different functional properties. For example, when using the hinge flexibility and elasticity of the material can exceed the flexibility and elasticity of the other parts of the insert.

Although as the preferred method of execution hinge more flexibly to the below mentioned co-extrusion, obviously it can be used for a combination of materials with different properties on other parts of the insert, which is preferable, mainly because the constructors are plenty of opportunities devices such insert to the functions performed.

The third aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be joined together; and the data connecting elements form a system of horizontal fixation and vertical system of fixation; the system of horizontal fixation contains the male element in the form of facing down the ledge and enclosing element, which contains the nest, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface horizontal fixation; these covered by item and an enclosing element allow a connection between the two sex panels on these sides by lowering one panel to the other so that the male element one panel entered the enclosing element other panel; the system of vertical fixing contains a vertical fixing, which forms part of the inserts placed on covering the element; the insert contains at least one lock of the body, part of the castle element, and one on the bottom), which is at least partially under the ledge when two such panels are connected among themselves; this panel difference on the bottom side of the ledge covered by item and the upper side of the specified lower part, there are mutually parallel contact surfaces that interact with each other, when two such panels are connected to each other, the contact surface on the bottom side of the ledge, rests in the context of the contact surface along the bottom of the defined time period; and the fact that the system of vertical fixing configured to sexual panel on the side of the containing covered by item, rested against the vertical direction exclusively in the contact surfaces between the walls of the specified ledge and the specified socket. Thanks to the specified parallel reference surfaces excluded point contact and achieved accommodation covered by an item in covering element in the only possible positions, including due to the fact that a vertical fixing covered by the element relative covering element achieved only with the help of the contact surfaces, which are located between the walls of the specified ledge and the specified socket.

A fourth aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be joined together; and the data connecting elements form a system of horizontal fixation and vertical system of fixation; the system of horizontal fixation contains the male element in the form of facing down the ledge and enclosing element, which contains the nest, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface horizontal fixation; the male element and an enclosing element allow a connection between the two sex panels on these sides by lowering one panel to the other so that the male element one panel entered the enclosing element other panel; the system of vertical fixing contains a vertical fixing, which forms part of the inserts placed on covering the element; the insert contains at least one lock of the body and the lower part, which is at least partially under the ledge when the two panels are connected among themselves; this panel is different because the system of vertical fixation is made in the form of system voltage, which covered element pinned to the specified socket due to the pressure force, directed downward, when the panels are connected among themselves. As covered by item pressed against the bottom of the height of the panels can be very precisely adjusted with the small amount of the errors.

Because the contact surfaces on the ledge , the possibility of their rupture and achieved a rigid horizontal fixation. Thus, it is preferable that ledge was hard, and pressed on a hook-like element covering the element when the plug installed on the panel. It is also preferable to locking the surface of the ledge was tilted at an acute angle to the horizontal plane. Another advantage of this ledge is that the basic part of the less loaded during the docking panel by rotating relative to each other.

Sixth, the independent aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be joined together; and the data connecting elements form a system of horizontal and fixation system vertical fixing; the system of horizontal fixation contains the male element in the form of facing down the ledge and enclosing element, which contains the nest, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface horizontal fixation; the male element and an enclosing element allow a connection between the two sex panels on these sides by lowering one panel to the other so that the male element one panel entered the enclosing element other panel; the system of vertical fixing contains a vertical fixation, which forms part of the inserts placed on covering the element; when this box also contains at least one lower part, which is at least partially under the ledge when the two panels are connected among themselves, and one rear part, which extends upward from the bottom, and attached to the back of the castle element directly or indirectly; the panel distinguished the fact that the thickness of the bottom of less thickness of said back, and more specifically than the average thickness of the back. Due to the relatively thin bottom of the insert can be inserted in a relatively thin flooring panels, and relatively thick rear part provides reliable maintenance and/or commit castle element.

Eighth aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be joined together; and the data connecting elements form a system of horizontal fixation and vertical system of fixation; the system of horizontal fixation contains the male element in the form of facing down the ledge and enclosing element, which contains the nest, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface horizontal fixation; these covered by item and an enclosing element form elements that allow a connection between the two sex panels on these sides by lowering one panel to the other so that the male element one panel entered the enclosing element other panel; the system of vertical fixing contains a vertical fixing, which forms part of the inserts placed on covering the element; when this box also contains at least one lower part, which is at least partially under the specified point, when two such panels are connected among themselves, and one convert up ledge which contains a surface horizontal fixation belonging covering element; it differs in that the male element interacts in the horizontal direction with the tab, resting in him, and in the vertical direction - based on only one or a few props, which are located between the basic parts elements. The advantage of the ninth aspect is that the error size not insert affect or significantly affect the accuracy of the mutual coupling of two panels on height, i.e. the accuracy of the location of their upper surfaces in the same plane. Accuracy can be achieved essentially by processing machine, for example, milling, made by the covered and covering elements. At the same time, the resulting design is strong enough in the horizontal direction, because the insertion actually provides horizontal fixation.

The advantage of the ninth aspect is that the insert is held in place and during the docking panel, but the connection between stacked panels horizontally not depends on errors, which now paste.

Eleventh aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be joined together; and the data connecting elements form a system of horizontal fixation and vertical system of fixation; the system of horizontal fixation contains the male element in the form of facing down the ledge and enclosing element, which contains the nest, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface horizontal fixation; the male element and an enclosing element allow a connection between the two sex panels on these sides by lowering one panel to the other so that the male element one panel entered the enclosing element other panel; the system of vertical fixing contains a vertical fixing, which forms part of the inserts placed on covering the element; the insert excluding the castle element also contains at least one lower part, which is at least partially under the specified point, when two such panels are connected among themselves, and one convert up ledge which contains a surface horizontal fixation belonging covering element; this panel is different because the connecting elements are configured so that two such panels can be connected or disconnected from each other by turning one panel with respect to another. The advantage of a ledge is that it provides support and takes part of the effort, arising in the course of undock panels that prevents fault parts element.

In accordance with preferred sign of the eleventh aspects such sexual panel distinguished by the fact that the horizontal distance between the top edge panel on the level of covering the element and the beginning of the castle surface specified hanging exceeds the vertical distance between the upper surface of the panel and the bottom surface of the ledge covered item. Thus, the data flooring panels, joined in the lock with a latch, can also be easily disconnected and connected among themselves by rotating relative to each other.

Twelfth aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be joined together; and the data connecting elements form a system of horizontal fixation and vertical system of fixation; the connecting elements contain covered by item and an enclosing element; the male element and an enclosing element allow a connection between the two sex panels on these sides by lowering one panel to the other so that the male element one panel entered the enclosing element other panel; the panel distinguished the fact that, at least in one of the fixation systems used paste of synthetic material, which is equipped with one or more substantive wrought edges, coming away from the wall insert, said ribs create an elastic force, which holds the connecting elements to one or more clearly outlined contact surfaces, when the two panels are connected among themselves.

It should be noted that the present invention relates also to all sorts of combinations of the twelve above mentioned aspects, since characteristics, which are characterized by such combinations do not contradict each other. In addition, each aspect can be characterized by the other signs, which are partly borrowed from other aspects.

- It is preferable to locking body was rigid. Under «hard» means the body, stiffness of which acts at least in the plane of the section.

- In General, it should be noted that the thrust of the plot, around which turns lock body perceives efforts, aspiring to disconnect flooring panels from each other in the vertical direction. Of US 2007/0006543, which corresponds WO 2007/008139, also known rotary capping element that - contrary to what was mentioned - not rotated around a point of support, which performs the function of the circuit and support, which counteracts the disjunction of sexual panels.

- In addition, swivel hinge and lock body may have one or more additional features, which are known from DE 2020080008597. For example, the free end of the castle of the body can be provided elastic system, which is described, for example, in the above document.

- Form above the castle or the contact surface can be and not flat, as, for example, curved.

- It should be noted that the lock of the body can be in the form of any item, which can interact with other panel for fixing it. Although the following examples are essentially turning the castle of the body, the use of the castle bodies of various shapes, at least, if in accordance with a particular aspect is not required unambiguously the existence of such a rotary castle body.

Fourteenth aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be joined together; and the data connecting elements form a system of horizontal fixation and vertical system of fixation; the system of horizontal fixation contains the male element in the form of facing down the ledge and enclosing element containing the nest, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface horizontal fixation; the male element and an enclosing element allow to interconnect two flooring panels on these sides by lowering one panel to the other so that the male element one panel entered the enclosing element other panel; the system of vertical fixing contains a vertical fixing, which forms part of the inserts placed on covering the element; thus, the insert excluding the castle element also contains at least one lower part, which is at least partially under the ledge when the two panels are connected among themselves; the panel distinguished the fact that during the lowering one panel to another specified the lower part of elastically deformed and, by the end of lowering - at least partially returned in the original (loose) state. The use of mechanical energy bottom allows you to get an innovative locking system, which - in accordance with the preferred option of the implementation of the present invention provides a solid vertical fixation of the panels. In addition, these locking systems easy to meet. For example, the corresponding box can be executed as a unit of the same material, for example, synthetic material, for example, high-density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate or PVC.

In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention specified lower part, returning to the initial state, informs energy castle element, due to which the element is moved to the position in which he provides, or, at least enables vertical fixing the stacked between the flooring panels. Moving castle element in the above position can be accompanied by, for example, the effect of the click, which occurs essentially at the expense of return the bottom portion in the original state. For example, the lower part can function like a leaf spring that strains in the beginning of his deflection down and returned, at least partially, in its original state by the end of the trough.

Preferably, that this was inserted as a whole from the same material and contained facing up ledge, which forms the surface of the horizontal fixation belonging covering element.

Preferably specified castle element was rigidly connected to the specified lower part. In this example, the implementation of the present invention voltage and/or return the bottom portion in the initial state can be directly converted to move the specified castle element.

In accordance with the second preferred embodiment of the present invention these covered by connecting element and covering the connecting element at the first and second pairs of the parties are identical or virtually identical to each other.

Advantage floor panel, possessing the signs of the above-mentioned first and/or second preferred options for the implementation of the present invention is that both pairs of the parties can be performed almost identically to each other. So, when milling docking elements can be used cutters, identical or virtually identical to each other.

Preferably use the box that corresponds to any of the above aspects.

Sixteenth aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be joined together; and the data connecting elements form a system of horizontal fixation and vertical system of fixation; the system of horizontal fixation contains the male element in the form of facing down the ledge, and enclosing element that contains the nest, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface horizontal fixation; the male element and an enclosing element allow a connection between the two sex panels on these sides by lowering the one panel to the other so that the male element one panel entered the enclosing element other panel; the system of vertical fixing contains a vertical fixing, which is made at the same time a whole with insert, placed on covering element, or forms a part; the insert excluding the castle element also contains at least one lower part, which is at least partially under the ledge when the two panels are connected among themselves; this panel differs in that box acts in the horizontal direction for the limits of the top edge of the panel at a distance greater than the distance that part covering element, executed at the same time a whole with sexual panel, protrude from the top edge. Execution of a floor panel with signs of the sixteenth aspect of the present invention allows to save the main material for the panel.

Seventeenth aspect of the present invention is in no way associated with the use of a single insertion, but allows, in particular, efficient use of certain materials, and more specifically - wood materials, to provide a connection in the lock with a latch». Seventeenth aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be joined together; and the data connecting elements form a system of horizontal and fixation system vertical fixing, which allow for the mutual coupling of the two sex panels on these sides by lowering one panel to another; the system of vertical fixing contains fixing elements, which in condition situated one behind the other, with at least one of them is situated on vertical ledge; the panel distinguished the fact that, at least, specified a flexible clear element is made of molded fiber material, which is characterized by the predominant orientation of fibers and/or preferential planes fibers, and structure of a fibrous material is such that the orientation of the fibres and/or preferential plane fibers also continues vertically. Obviously these materials can be used in compounds in the lock with a latch,» without risk of breakage of parts under the action of moving loads.

In addition, in accordance with the seventeenth aspect you must use the ISI(wood-fiber plates of average density) and HDF (high density fibreboard), as will be described in detail below.

Eighteenth aspect of the present invention relates to a floor panel containing at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panels can be connected among themselves; the connecting elements form a system of horizontal fixation and vertical system of fixation; the system of horizontal fixation contains covered by the element that has the appearance of facing down the ledge, and enclosing element containing the nest, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface horizontal fixation; the male element and an enclosing element allow mutual panel connection on the specified sides by lowering one panel to the other so that the male element one panel entered the enclosing element other panel; the system of vertical fixing contains a vertical fixing, which forms part of the insert, provided at one of those parties; and lowering of one panel to another castle, the item is moved first to one and then the other side, and at first he elastic pressed, and then returns into the locked position; this panel differs in that box formed by at least one movable element, part of which stands aside essentially horizontally, forming a specified castle element, and one element of fixation, which insert is locked in the groove. Due to the fact that part of element sideways essentially horizontal and serves as a locking element itself castle element has a relatively low height and can be performed even by the relatively flat element, the force of the counter-opening panels attached to the flat element perpendicular to each other. It is preferable as the castle, the item may not be subjected to bending and other deformation, and the mean upper edges of the panels are guaranteed to remain in the same plane. Advantage element is the fact that the castle element can rely on fixing element can be moved to the castle element from moving on far enough to mutual docking panel, and secondly, inserting could be given a private elasticity, sufficient to return to the locked position the lock of the allotted to the side.

The fact that the height of the lock of the small compared with the total height of the insert is an advantage, because under a locking element has a relatively large space to support the castle element that, first, it ensures proper fit, and secondly, - allows for an elastic force and mobility, sufficient for cuddling castle element in locked position after joining of two panels.

It should be noted that under the «plot extending towards essentially horizontal» means the plot in General, made in the form of a hook, the end of which turned aside, it is preferable that this plot was hard or almost harsh in connection with turned down plot. Preferably, plot, facing, looking towards the free end of the whole formed angle with the plane of the panel equal to 30 degrees (angle is in the lower half-plane) to 60 degrees (angle lies in the upper half-plane), and/or plot, facing contained castle surface in the direction of the free end of the whole forms an angle with the plane of the panel equal to 30 degrees (angle is in the lower half-plane) to 60 degrees (angle lies in the upper half-plane). Of course, that these ranges include and zero degrees.

In addition, the according to some better options implementation of the present invention sexual panel corresponding to the eighteenth or nineteenth aspect may have one or more of the following additional characteristics:

- castle element contains the castle surface and opposite to it resistant surface, the castle surface is located on the side of the castle element, which also forms the inner corner of the item;

- a hook-like element can be tilted, preferably to the axis or the field rotation, which is located below and preferably under a specified plot extending to the side; the specified movable plot may only marginally moving up and down, which facilitates the dock;

- box is located on the covering element, and preferably in a groove, located in the proximal end, which is an advantage because it enables you to for the specified groove more space;

- a hook-like element contains a plot facing downwards, which is connected with the element commit or forms a substantive part of it, it is preferable that the rigidity of a convert to the bottom of the site exceed the rigidity the rest of the insert;

- the lower end of the -- the convert to the bottom of the plot is based on the lower surface of the groove, which is preferable because it provides exact fixation;

without facing downwards plot element contains elastic fixation process, continued inward and upward recess, which facilitates the docking panels and improves their elastic properties;

- in the vertical direction covered by item relies directly on the enclosing element in the absence of pasting, so by the relevant pressure insert the possible errors of height are determined by a finite processing of basic parts covered and covering elements;

- the bottom surface or the insertion point is located above the bottom surface covered by item, which is preferable in terms of system stability, since the material under the insert has a relatively large thickness.

- moving plot, departing towards essentially horizontal and forming a specified castle element contains the Chateau surface, which is tilted to the plane of the panel at an angle of 45 degrees, and more preferably to 30 degrees;

the locking element, and more specifically element there is a free space that allows free movement of the lock of the back.

It is preferable that the insert was always made of straight strip.

In addition, inserting designed so that a hook-like element during the docking elastic shifted relative to the element of the commit, and last can essentially be deformed so that the entire box does not slip in different directions.

It is obvious that the connecting elements corresponding to the eighteenth and nineteenth aspects, in the case of rectangular floor panel should be provided on the short sides, while on the long sides is preferable to use the connecting elements that allow mutual docking panels by rotating relative to each other.

Realization of the invention

The present invention relates to sexual panel 1, containing at least two opposite sides of 2-3 connecting elements 4-5, by which the two such panel 1 can be connected among themselves (Fig.1-4).

As can be seen from figure 4, connecting elements 4-5 stacked between the panels form a system of 6 horizontal fixation and system 7 vertical fixing. System 6 horizontal fixation includes covered by item 8 and enclosing element 9, by which the two sexual panel 1 can be connected together on these sides 2-3; for this one sexual panel 1 lower on the other in the direction of M so that covered by item 8 one panel entered the enclosing element 9 other panel, in doing so, the movement of M schematically presented in figure 4.

Covered by item 8 is formed turned down a ledge 10 turned down item 11, and to cover part 9 is an open upwards socket 12 facing up item 13. Fixing of panels . direction, that is fixing that prevents accidental mutual shift of two stacked panels 1, achieved in this case due to the interaction between the surfaces 14 and 15 horizontal fixation belonging covered item 8 and on item 9, respectively.

System 7 vertical fixing contains castle item 16, which forms part of the insert 17, in the groove 18 side 3 covering item 9. For clarity, the box 17 depicted in figure 3 separately. Preferably, the box 17, was executed in the form of strips, as in this figure. It is obvious that this band should continue along the whole or nearly the whole length of the 3.

Preferably perform this strip of synthetic material, but it is possible to use and other materials. Preferably also that the cross-section strips along its entire length was sustained to facilitate the manufacture of a specified band. In the case of synthetic material is preferable to use PVC.

Figure 4 shows the enlarged strip, recorded in a groove of 18. In the example, figure 4, Paz 18 essentially limited to the lower wall 19, proximal wall 20 and distal wall 21.

In the example, figure 4, box 17, excluding the lock of the 16 contains the rear part to 22, the lower part 23, which is, at least partially, under the ledge of 10, when the two panels 1 are connected among themselves, and looking up the ledge 24, one side of which forms a given surface 15 horizontal fixation, preferably to the other side of the 25 rested against the specified wall 21. It is preferable that the external side of the ledge 24 were inclined to the horizontal plane at different angles - A1 and A2, A1 less A2 (figure 4). The advantage is that the box 17 relatively firmly held in a groove of a covering, the adhesive surface 15, due to its greater angle to normal facilitates docking / undocking panes.

In example castle item 16 is made essentially in the form of the castle 26 body with resistant locking 27 plot, which can interact with a locking plot 28 covered by item 8 other panel 1. Preferably, the castle plot 28 was formed plot, which is hard contact surface 29, executed on side 2 of the basic part of panel 1 by machine processing, the indicated the contact surface can interact with the contact surface of 30 castle item 16.

In accordance with the foregoing, the first aspect of the present invention box 17 characterized by a combination of traits, namely: it contains the lower part 23, which at least partly proceeds under the ledge of 10, when the two panels are connected among themselves; rear part 22, which can be connected to the lower part of and not connected with it; and the above-mentioned locking 26 body, which may be connected with the rear part, directly or indirectly, with the free end of the 31 facing down, and the body of 26 may shift elastic, and more specifically - rotate, with a special hinge 32. In this case facing down the free end of 31 castle body 26 castle is a plot of 27. The benefits of this combination of characteristics mentioned in the introduction.

Hinge 32 essentially consists of an elastic element 33, which performs a dual function. First, item 33 forms a hinge, which provides a limited rotation of the castle of the element and the second element 33 provides the necessary elastic force, which seeks to shift in the direction of locking 26 body with its free end.

Box 17 shall be performed in accordance with the figures, which swivel lock body 26 on the other side of the end of 31 forming castle plot 27, contains resistant plot 34, which can be rotated about a hard surface 35 sexual panel 1.

The principle of action of system of a vertical fixing evident from the figures and consists in the following: lock body 26, coming into contact with the end of another sexual panel, elastic , as shown by the dotted line in figure 4, and - after placing the panels on the same level again turning in the direction of providing lock connection panels, shown by the solid line.

In addition, it should be noted that between the castle plot 27 and persistent plot 34 castle 26 body, that is, between its ends essentially no articulated and collapsible sections. For this castle body 26 give sufficient thickness and rigidity, that is, at the Annex to the castle body 26 pressure this body can have significant deformations between its ends, as is usual in the connections in the lock with a latch».

Preferably the rear part 22 was located in the side space 36, which forms part of the groove 18, continuing along all or almost all of the vertical segment between the lower wall of 19 and hard surface 35 (figure 4). Preferably the rear part 22 also contained the deepening of 37, which serves as a space to accommodate the castle body 26, when the last nestles inside during the mutual coupling two floor panel 1.

It should be noted that the example of the implementation of the present invention is illustrated figure 4 also covers an example of the second aspect of the present invention, i.e. inserting 17 is a strip of synthetic material containing - cross-section - region with different properties, and more specifically of different elasticity, synthetic material corresponds to the functional purpose of the field. In accordance with this aspect of part 33, shown in figure 4, is made of a more elastic material, the material of the remaining parts of the insert 17, i.e. the part 33 serves as a hinge, which tends due to its elasticity, turn towards the lock body 16 with its lower end, resulting in item 16 tends to come into contact with the contact surface 29, when the panels are connected among themselves. Other parts are made of relatively hard synthetic material. The advantage is that the lock of the body of 16 can easily be done tough in the result of which the body can be placed between the hard surface of 35 and the contact surface 29, as a firm, able to keep its shape element. Because the lower item 23 is also made of synthetic material of high hardness, it provides essentially support for the covered item 8, at least when it is adjacent to the specified support.

It is obvious that box 17 may be made by extrusion, but in other ways, and more specifically to the other distribution areas, made from different synthetic materials, depending on the aim pursued.

Obviously, that is an example of that is illustrated figure 4 also covers a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is a protrusion 24 thin walls and the advantage is that the castle surface of 15 has an insignificant elasticity or not at all, and therefore, castle surface of 15 forms a hard, clear focus for the castle 14 surface covered by item 8.

An example of that is illustrated figure 4, encompasses the sixth aspect of the present invention, as the bottom part 23 definitely thinner above the rear part 22, if the thickness of the back of 22 consider its average thickness.

An example of that is illustrated figure 4, encompasses the seventh aspect of the present invention, which, as stated above, is that covered by item 8 is based on the lower part 23, when the two panels are connected among themselves, and box 17 is a strip of extruded synthetic material, the lower part of which has a form conducive to minimize errors of the thickness of the bottom. In the example, figure 4, the peculiarity of this form is that the thickness of the lower part is very limited and is, in particular, less than 1 mm

In addition, an example of that is illustrated figure 4 corresponds to tenth aspect of the present invention, i.e. inserting 17 consists of the back of 22 and lock body 26, the free end of which is turned down, the height And the castle body 26 in state is less than the height at The back, but more than a 1/3 of the height of the Century

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited flooring panels 1, which can be joined between them on the sides of 2-3 exclusively by lowering the panels on each other in the direction of M, but the panes 1 being connected in the lock with a latch,» using other ways of joining and/or undock, for example, by turning and/or their gradual displacement as with the effect of the latch, and without it. Obviously, the possibility of mutual joining of panels on the sides of 2-3 other methods can be easily achieved by use of run-off items 4-5 with the appropriate form. For example, it is obvious that the form connect the elements depicted in figure 4, allows you to disconnect from each other panel and insert them into each other by turning on the spit of W. They can also be connected between themselves by gradual displacement of P relative to each other, the right panel 1 move to the left panel 1 linear or curved trajectory.

Figure 5 illustrates the variant, according to which a hook-like item 13 - in contrast to the example implementation, figure 4, - narrows towards the free end, resulting in the lower part 23 also slightly tilted. Thanks to this narrowing of the panel may be easier connected between themselves by their gradual displacement.

Here two variants are possible. If panel 1 hold in one plane, bringing them closer to each other, for example, in the direction of the arrow KZT1, a hook-like element 13 elastically bent down. As only the top edge of panels 1 closed, locking 26 body is automatically set in the locked position, and bent a hook-like element 13 , being located behind covered by the element 8. If we allow the free movement right panel 1 in the vertical direction, with the mutual connection of the panels will have a shift in the right pane of the arrow T2, covered by item 8 will slide on item 13 on a curved path, while not sit exactly in the assigned slot and does not happen connection of panels in the castle. Of course, there may be a combination of both movements.

Obviously, panel 1, relevant example of implementation which is illustrated by figure 5, may be connected between themselves and/or undocked from each other by their rotation relative to each other thanks to a suitable height item 13 and/or a suitable slope of the castle surfaces 14 and 15.

Obviously, in the case of quadrangular floor panel - like rectangular and square, - connecting elements can be provided on the second pair of opposing parties, preferably to data elements in able to encourage mutual horizontal and vertical panel fixation. The connecting elements of the second pair of the parties may also join the panel in the lock with a latch,» as under and in accordance with the present invention. However, it is preferable that the second pair of the parties was provided with connecting elements, which provide mutual coupling of two panels in their turn and/or offset each other, accompanied by the effect of the latch. Such connecting elements are widely known in the art and described, for example, in the WO 97/47834.

In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention second pair of the parties 39-40 must be provided with connecting elements 41-42, which allow the interconnection of the panels, at least, by their mutual rotation because it provides easy styling panels, as shown in figure 6 and 7. In this case, a new panel 1C can be easily put his side 39 to the previous row panels 1A and rotated with respect to it, it should directly adjacent to the previous panel 1B its range. During the rotation of a stacked panel 1C down her covered by item automatically drops into the enclosing element next panel 1B without the need to perform additional operations. Thus, in the case of rectangular panels 1 preferably on their short sides were located connecting elements that can connect panels in the so-called castle «latch».

Fig.8 illustrates an example of the implementation of the seventh aspect of the present invention. The feature of this example is that the lower part 23 equipped with local support plot 43, thanks to which the contact area of the bottom side covered by item 8 with the bottom part 23 section is limited to a small segment, which is definitely less than the length of the whole lower part 23. The advantage of such local reference plot 43 is that the error of his dimensions can easily be controlled during the extrusion insert 17, because control the dimensions of the whole lower part of the complex. The error of the position of the upper side of the lower part, which supports the male element, can be controlled in a very precise limits, it is important for cuddling the lock of the 16 to a covered item. Please note that the thickness of the local reference plot 43 may not exceed the thickness of the rest of the plot bottom figure. Alternatively, on the underside covered by item may be a plot, outstanding downwards, which can adjoin to the bottom of 23 only at a certain period, ensuring the accuracy of the sizes contacted elements on a specified interval.

Figure 9 shows an example of the implementation of the present invention, a corresponding - among other things - eighth aspect of the invention, and feature of this aspect is that covered by item 8 communicates in the horizontal direction with the tab 24, but in vertical direction is based not on the bottom and on the supporting surface 44, and support function is carried out only by direct interaction between the items 11 and 13. The advantage is that the accuracy of manufacture of bearing surface 44 not dependent on the accuracy of ensuring the thickness of the bottom of 23.

Figure 9 reference surface 44 is located at the end item 13. Figure 10 illustrates the variant, according to which instead of supporting surface 44 used reference surface 45, located near the adjacent to each other with the top of the stacked panels 1.

Figure 11 illustrates, among other things, the ninth dimension, in accordance with which the castle surface 14 and 15, ensure horizontal fixation, belong to the basic parts of the panels 1, when covered by this item is actually based in the vertical direction on the box 17, and more specifically on its lower part 23.

Fig.12 illustrates an example of the implementation of the present invention, in which there are no lower part 23 and tab 24. The structure of the connecting elements 4-5 essentially similar in structure to connect the elements of figure 2, 4 and 8-12. An example of that is illustrated fig.12, matches the variant of the tenth aspect of the present invention. Tenth dimension focuses on the floor panel 1, containing at least two opposite sides of 2-3 connecting elements 4-5, by which the two such panels can be connected among themselves; connecting elements 4-5 form a system of 6 horizontal fixation and system 7 vertical fixing; the system of 6 horizontal fixation contains covered by item 8 in the form of facing down the ledge 10 and covering item 9, which contains a socket 12, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface 14-15 horizontal fixation; the set is covered by item 8 and enclosing element 9 allow the interconnection of two such flooring panels 1 on these sides 2-3 by lowering one panel to another so that covered by item 8 one panel 1 entered the enclosing element. 9 panel at any time; 7 vertical fixing element contains 16 vertical fixation in the form of the castle body 26, the free end of which is turned down, and the body forms part of the insertion 17, placed in covering item 9; feature of this viewpoint is that the height of A castle body 26 in state is less than the height at The back of 22, but more than 1/3 of its height In which benefits mentioned in the introduction.

Obviously, this aspect is revealed, among other things, and the examples of implementation, figure 2, 4, 5 and 8 to 11.

It should be noted that the above examples of the implementation of the present invention, illustrated by figure 2-4, 5 and 8 to 10 apply to sexual panels, which correspond to the eleventh aspect. This aspect concerns the floor panel, contains at least two opposite sides of 2-3 connecting elements 4-5, by which the two such panel 1 can be joined together; the connecting elements 4-5 form a system of 6 horizontal fixation and system 7 vertical fixing; the system of 6 horizontal fixation contains covered by item 8 in the form of facing down the ledge 10 and covering item 9, which contains a socket 12, open up, and the nest ledge and contain surface of 14 and 15 horizontal fixation; the set is covered by item 8 and enclosing element 9 allow the interconnection of two such flooring panels 1 on these sides 2-3 by lowering one panel to another so that covered by item 8 one panel 1 entered the enclosing element. 9 panel at any time; 7 vertical fixing element contains 16 vertical fixing it forms part of the insertion 17, placed in covering item 9; when this box 17 excluding the lock of the 16 contains at least one lower part 23, which at least partially located under the ledge of 10, when the two panels 1 are connected among themselves, and the ledge 24, facing upwards, which contains a surface 15 horizontal fixation, related to the encompassing item 9; feature of this aspect is that the connecting elements 5-6 have a form that allows for the mutual coupling and/or undock panels 1 by turning one panel 1 relative to the other panel 1. The advantage is that facing up plot element made of a base material, the less is loaded with mutual undock panels, because ledge 24 protects and strengthens the specified area. Under mutual undock panels it is necessary to ensure their smooth rotation and protect a hook-like element 13 from excessive loads, so it is preferable to design the horizontal distance between the top end of the 1 level covering the element and the beginning of the castle surface 15, belonging to the specified projection 24, exceeded the vertical distance between the top side panel 1 and the bottom side of the ledge 10 covered by item 8.

Fig.13 and 14 illustrate two private example of the implementation of the present invention, in which you can use additional locking 46 body, which is connected with the bottom part 23 with the hinge 47, providing horizontal panel fixation. In this case, the lock body 46 and hinge 47 can function similarly castle body 26 and hinge 32. In the example, fig.13, used reference surface 44 example, figure 14, is the supporting surface of 45. Obviously, in accordance with alternatives and chock 44 and 45 may be missing.

Fig.15 illustrates an example of the implementation of the present invention, covering its twelfth aspect, i.e. locking elements are in the form of one or more substantive elastic bending edges 48 and 49. aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel 1, containing at least two opposite sides of 2-3 connecting elements 4-5, by which the two such panels can be connected among themselves; connecting elements 4-5 form a system of 6 horizontal fixation and system 7 vertical fixing; the connecting elements contain 4-5 covered by item 8 and enclosing element 9; the set is covered by item 8 and enclosing element 9 allow the interconnection of two such flooring panels 1 on these sides 2-3 by lowering one panel to another so that covered by item 8 one panel 1 joined in an enclosing element 9 other panel; feature of this aspect is the fact that at least one of the listed systems 6-7 fixation includes a box 17, made of synthetic material, which is equipped with one or more substantive wrought ribs 48-49, said ribs depart from the relevant walls insert 17 and being somewhat tilted or depressed, create tractive force, which holds the connecting elements to one or more clearly outlined contact and reference surfaces accordingly, when the two panels are connected among themselves, as fig.15.

In example ribs 48-49 are designed for both the vertical and horizontal fixation, however, it is obvious that, in accordance with options that are not illustrated, these edges can be only designed for vertical or only for horizontal fixation. It is also obvious that in accordance with the other variants of the edges can be provided elsewhere.

It is preferable that the ribs were fulfilled, so to speak, in the form of , as in the figure, that is, to their sizes were small compared with the size of the rest of the insertion 17. More specifically, it is preferable that an edge of deviated from the reference surface to a distance not exceeding 2 mm, and even better - at the distance not exceeding 1 mm

It is preferable to use a series of ribs 48-49, as illustrated in the example, but you can use and one edge.

Preferably, ribs 48-49 were at a distance that exceeds their thickness. However, in accordance with an alternative such edges can be a small huts, which can only be depressed. Thus, the concept of «edge» should be understood in a broad sense.

On fig.16 depicted stacked panels, which correspond to the example of the thirteenth aspect of the present invention. This aspect concerns the flooring panels, containing at least two opposite sides of 2-3 connecting elements 4-5, by which the two such panels can be connected among themselves; the connecting elements 4-5 form a system of 6 horizontal fixation and system 7 vertical fixing; the system of 6 horizontal fixation contains covered by item 8 and covering item 9, which allow the interconnection of two such flooring panels 1 on these sides 2-3 by lowering one panel to another so that covered by item 8 one panel 1 entered the enclosing element. 9 panel at any time; 7 vertical fixing castle contains the item that forms part of the insert, provided at one of the parties concerned; the castle element contains at least one swivel lock body 26;feature of this aspect is the fact that the castle item 26 - through the hinge 32, which should be made of material 33, elasticity of which exceeds the elasticity of the material castle body 26, - is connected to the base of 50, which is part of the insertion 17, which should be located in a groove 51, swivel lock body 26 and 50 base equipped surfaces 52 and 53, which - when turning the castle 26 body inside - form the guiding surfaces for each other, asking moving castle body 26. Thus, the movement of the castle of the body are more controllable.

The corresponding box 17 depicts the fig.17 enlarged. Hinge 32 is made of elastic material, therefore locking 26 body provides the necessary latch up overlapped between the panels of 1, as will be described below. Preferably, the box 17 was obtained by extrusion, lock body 26 and 50 base were made of material that has little elasticity. Box 17 should be configured as the figure to between 50 base and the castle body 26 unloaded insertion there was a sufficient period, which was covered would plot 33. The advantage of this insert is that the plot 33 has a relatively long compared, for example, with the length of the plot 33 figure 3, thanks to which this site may be significantly stretched along its longitudinal axis. Another advantage of the period of X is that the space formed by the base-50 and the castle body 26, is preferred in the process of extrusion, because placing walls of the mold between them easier and error are more manageable.

Interaction docking elements 4-5 shows staged at fig.18-20. When inserting 17 is not being stressed, she is in the position shown in fig.18, the hinge 32 several bent . this position surface 52 and 53 may already be in contact with each other, and end the castle 26 body rests in the resistant surface.

At the first stage, when lowering the panel covered by the element's locking 26 body turns inward in the position shown in fig.19. The surface of 52 castle 26 body glides over the surface of 53.

In the position shown on the fig.19, angle of 54 castle body 26 is located on the surface of 53, resulting in the specified slip essentially ends, when this further blocking of the castle body 26 calls on the merits of its rotation around the specified surface of 53, and more specifically the turn of the internal angle of 54 around the opposite him outer corner of the base of 50. In the result, shown in fig.20, hinge 32 considerably stretched and there is great strength of elasticity, and once panel 1 established at the same level, swivel lock body 26 with its free end abruptly shifts towards a preference to good effect it snaps into place. Obviously, this can be ensured by the so-called two-phase effect, in which at the first stage locking 26 body can be pressed easily, and at the end should be pressed with greater force. The advantage of a two-phase effect is that, first, the panels can be easily connected among themselves, and, second, at the end of the dock locking 26 body almost guaranteed to move into their locked position.

It is important to lock body 26 due to the interaction of surfaces 52 and 53 did set to move for precise interaction of the elements.

It is obvious that the embodiments of the present invention, covering his thirteenth aspect, provide, in particular, the use of rotary castle body 26, which is rotated relative to the hard surface.

It should be noted that in accordance with the thirteenth aspect of the present invention is valid foresee box 17 elsewhere relevant parties 2-3, for example, the area of the element, not the element covered by

Finally, on fig.21 depicted stacked panels that match the seventeenth aspect. Talking about sexual panels, containing at least two opposite sides of the connecting elements, by which the two such panel 1 can be joined together; the connecting elements form a system of horizontal fixation system and vertical fixing, which allow for the mutual coupling of two such flooring panels 1 on these sides by lowering one panel to another, a peculiarity of this aspect is that the system of vertical fixing contains clickable elements 59-60, which condition situated one behind the other, with at least one of them, in this case, the castle - like item 60, is located on the vertical deformed ledge 57, and that, at least, only the specified ledge 57 is made of molded fiber material, which is characterized by the predominant orientation of fibers and/or preferential planes 61 of the fibers and the structure of the fibre material is such that the orientation and/or preferential plane 61 fibers are vertical. What are the current focus of fibres or planes fibers essentially coincides with the orientation of hanging 57, is an advantage since the ledge, first, gently curl, and secondly, its thickness can be relatively small in cross direction, in this case the horizontal direction, without the risk of breaking the ledge under the action of moving loads.

Thus, opens a new possibility of the realization of the so-called connection systems in the lock with a latch,» for example, in material.

In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention connecting elements should be made of MDF-plate or HDF plates.

From fig.21 also shows that the seventeenth can be implemented, in particular, in the manufacture of so-called block parquet or composite wood parquet, the major part of the panels formed mainly by small straps 62 and plates 63, which must be met connecting elements, and these strips and plates can be made of MDF or HDF plates. MDF-or HDF plates can be obtained from relatively thick MDF or HDF plates, the plates are, so to speak, on their sides, that the fibers oriented in a given vertical direction.

In the case of a composite wood parquet, as shown in fig.21, obviously, must first be compiled Board of plates 62-63, the upper layer of 64 wood of high quality and supporting layer 65, and then in the plate 63 be made connecting elements, for example, by milling.

It is obvious that the connecting elements depicted on the fig.21, in principle, can be provided on both pairs of the rectangular or square panels. Preferably, however, that one pair of the parties was provided docking system that allows for the mutual coupling of panels by rotating relative to each other, and on the other pair of the parties - docking system, corresponding to the seventeenth aspect that could be implemented by the method of laying the panels, in a similar way, 6.

On fig.23 specified lower part 23 deformed in the course of the lowering of one of the panels in the direction of M. In this case, the lower part 23 tense like a leaf spring due to the fact that the period covered by connecting element 8 or facing down ledge 10 strives to reveal a box 17. While facing down ledge 10, falling in M, comes in contact with the specified locking element of 16 and turned up the tab 24, which is made at the same time a whole with inset 17, resulting in a lower part of the 23 sags. Deflection bottom of 23 accompanied by methods of accumulation in her mechanical energy.

By the end of lowering covered docking item 8 in the direction of M he finds himself in a position in which the item 16 vertical fixing can be docked with turned down a ledge 10, and the lower part 23 returns to its original state, giving the energy needed for the specified dock. As a result of the castle element of 16 moves in a position in which he provides mutual vertical fixation stacked panels 1.

On fig.24 depicts sexual panel 1 in condition. In this example, the lower part 23 return to its original state only partially. Therefore achieved a very solid fixation of panels both in vertical and horizontal direction.

From fig.25 is clear that the second pair of opposite parties 39-30 panels 1 can include a coupling element and inserts, which are similar to the coupling elements and inserts provided on the first pair of opposite parties 2-3 may be obtained example of the implementation of the present invention, covering the signs of his fifteenth aspect. Such panel 1 can be connected to each other on opposite sides of the 39-40 second pair, and to insert covered by item 41 one panel 1 in the enclosing element 42 other panel 1 turn the panel with a covered part around the edge of the parties 39-40 panels. The peculiarity example, fig.25, is that the second pair of the parties 39-40 also provides an element of vertical fixing, included as part of the horizontal fixed, and this element forms part of the insertion 17. In this case, the insert is located on the area of a run-off item 41. It is obvious that the second pair of the parties 39-40 can be applied, for example, connecting elements 8-9 and paste 17 to fig.24. Of course, the example of the implementation of the present invention, covering the signs of his fifteenth aspect, can be obtained by using other docking elements 8-9-41-42 and inserts 17. Preferably, to insert 17 were identical or almost identical to each other, as in this example. Preferably also to and coverage of connecting elements 8-4,1 and covering the connecting elements 9-42 both pairs parties were identical or essentially identical to each other. On fig.25 shown by dotted line 66 another variant, according to which cover coupling element 42 on the second pair of the parties practically identical to each other, but differ in that convert up a hook-like element 13 has bounded height. This modification makes it easier docking panels by rotating relative to each other.

Fig.26 illustrates an example, which, inter alia, covers the signs specified fourteenth aspect, i.e. inserting 17 contains tools 67 mechanical fixation made at the same time piece with it, and tool data capture box 17 on covering a run-off item 9 in the vertical and/or horizontal direction. In this example, the tools 67 commit interact with the distal end of the covering of a connecting element 9. The dotted line 68 on fig.26 shows a box 17, which completely returned to its original state. It is obvious that when the two panels are connected among themselves, as in the figure, the box 17, and more specifically its ledge 24, and covered by a connecting element 8 press on each other, and the force of pressure acts in the direction of cuddling panels 1 each other.

Fig.27 illustrates option means 67 mechanical fixing. Funds 67 commit located in box 17, interact with grooves, which in this case are provided in the nest covering docking item 9, opened up.

In the example, fig.28, tools 67 mechanical fixation contain a flexible clear processus 69, which is made at the same time a whole with the implementation of 17 and is located proximally from the castle item 16 regarding the covering of a connecting element 9. The specified process 69 causes tension in box 17, which is placed in the nest covering 12 docking item 9, opened up.

In the example, fig.29, tools 67 mechanical fixation also performed at the same time a whole with the implementation of 17 and located proximally from the castle item 16 regarding the covering of a connecting element 9. Funds 67 mechanical fixation made at the same time a whole with insert, interact with the deepening of which is provided in facing up item 13 covering the docking item 9.

Obviously, that means 67 commit shown, for example, on fig.26-29, may be provided for in the rest of the boxes 17, which correspond to the first-sixteenth aspects of the present invention. In addition, it is obvious that the pressure is considered in relation to fig.26, can work in the other boxes 17 of the present invention. And this force can be folded downward pressure forces the element of 16 vertical fixation covered by connecting element 8.

Fig.30 illustrates an example of the implementation of the present invention, covering, inter alia, the signs of his sixteenth aspect. In this example, the system 7 vertical fixing element contains 16 vertical fixing, which is made at the same time a whole with the implementation of 17 forming part of the covering of a connecting element 9. Box 17, excluding the lock of the 16 contains also the lower part 23, which in this case forms a socket 12 covering docking item 9, open up, and that is at least partially under turned down a ledge covered 10 docking item 8, when the two panels 1 are connected among themselves. Feature of this example implementation is that box 17 issued in the horizontal direction beyond the top edge of the 70 corresponding panel 1. Moreover, the distance D1, on that box 17 issued outside the top edge of the 70 exceeds the distance D2, which can be issued covering part of a connecting element 9, executed at the same time a whole on the 1, beyond the edge. Obviously, in this example, referred to distance D2 eliminated or substantially reduced to zero.

Dashed line 71 matches the variant, according to which box 17 is based on the supporting surface essentially on the whole interval D1; in this case, the box 17 relies on the underlying layer flooring.

As can be seen from fig.31, in the starting position to the specified box 17 can be tilted to the same inserting 17, located in the final position, when the panels are connected among themselves, as shown in fig.30.

The series fig.31-34 shows how to box 17 then gradually moved into its final position by lowering covered docking item 8 in the direction of M. As seen from these figures, the embodiment of the present invention also covers the signs of his fourteenth aspects mentioned above. On fig.34 shown that by the end of lowering covered docking item 9 in the direction of M item 16 vertical fixing drops into the groove of the specified element at the expense of the energy of elastic deformation of the bottom of 23.

On fig.35 schematically shows the operation method of production of floor panel 1. This method covers essentially private, independent aspect of the present invention refers to the manufacture of flooring panels 1, that are at least two opposite sides of 2-3 contain connecting elements 4-5, forming the system of 6 horizontal fixation and system 7 vertical fixing, with the system of vertical and/or horizontal fixation contains castle element, for example, the 16 vertical fixing, which forms part of the insert 17, with this method differs in that the specified box 17 is served from the store 72, for example, with the coil, the party concerned 3 drive 73, and box 17, at least, on the site of their displacement from the specified drive 73 to the final position 74, moves in the Z-direction perpendicular to the surface of 75 panel 1. In example uses of box 17, which is similar to inserting 17, shown in fig.16-20. However, it is obvious that implementation of such method can be used and other inserts 17, which correspond to, for example, the present invention, or disclosed in WO 2009/066153. The inventor found that the use of the method corresponding to the private independent aspect, that allows to provide an especially smooth conjugation of connecting elements and inserts.

Drive shown on fig.35, executed in the form of videos 76. Of course, the other drive systems, for example, on the basis of bustle. In the example, fig.35, panel, which attach box 17, constantly moving in the direction of the arrow 77, that is parallel to the corresponding side of the panel.

As can be seen, on the site of the specified move the specified box 17 also bent, and in the end is aligned in the direction parallel to the party concerned. From this position of box 17 may spread in end position 74, as shown by the arrow 78.

Preferably, the box 17 was shortened to the size of the relevant party 3 or roughly the size of a hand 3, in which the box provided. Preferably cut or shorten box 17, when it is already in the final position. Of course, there are other options. For example, box 17 may be filed by the actuator 73, being divided into segments of a suitable length.

Moreover, it is evident that this method is of particular interest in the manufacture of flooring panels, that are at least two opposite sides of the supplied connecting elements, allowing for the mutual coupling of two panels by dropping each other, or, in other words, panels, fitted with the so-called system connections in the lock with a latch».

Fig.36 illustrates an example of the implementation of the present invention, an alternative example shown fig.29, the box 17 performed slightly differently. Funds 67 commit contain essentially straight process 79. Lateral moving inserting 17 eliminated or at least limited, firstly, due to the fact that the free end of 70 in contact with the wall of the inner space of 36, and secondly that ledge 24 adjoins to the wall of 21. The rear part to 22 have an S-shaped form that allows move this part ago by elastic deformation.

Each floor panel 1 schematically depicted on fig.36, excluding insert 17 is monolithic. However, it is obvious that all the examples of implementation provided both above and below may actually treat monolithic, essentially monolithic or non monolithic sexual panels. Monolithic panel is made of one single plate, for example, MDF or HDF slabs, i.e. connecting elements 4-5, excluding insert 17, performed at the same time the whole panel. A typical example is the sandwich panel from MDF or HDF, which is treated with melamine or provided with an additional thin coatings, for example, drawing and/or varnish. Example panel is illustrated fig.37. This example refers to the so-called composite wood panel, which, as is known, consists of the core 80, consisting of many parts, for example, small strips 81 perpendicular to each other. The top side of the core is equipped with a top coating 82 of solid wood or of similar material, and lower side - reference covering 83. Material extreme laths, which made the connecting elements 4-5 may differ from material other laths 81. Extreme laths can be made, for example, the MDF or fiberboard (HDF), and the other masks 81 - cheap wood.

On fig.38 and 39 depicts the edges of stacked between the panels of 1, which correspond, in particular, eighteenth and nineteenth aspects of the present invention.

Eighteenth aspect of the present invention relates to sexual panel, contains at least two opposite sides of 2-3 connecting elements 4-5, by which the two such panel 1 can be joined together; the connecting elements 4-5 form a system of 6 horizontal fixation and system 7 vertical fixing; the system of 6 horizontal fixation contains covered by item 8, which has the form of facing down the ledge 10, and an enclosing element 9 with the socket, opened up, and the nest ledge and contain surface 14-15 horizontal fixation; the set is covered by item 8 and enclosing element 9 allow the interconnection of the panels 1 on these sides 2-3 by lowering one panel 1 in another direction M to the period covered by item 8 one panel entered the enclosing element. 9 panel at any time; 7 vertical fixing element contains 16 vertical fixing, which forms part of the insert 17, provided at one of those parties; and lowering of one panel to another castle item 16 moves first to one and then the other side, and at first he elastic pressed, and then returns to the locked position; this panel differs in that box 17 formed, at least, moving element 84, plot 85 which is essentially horizontally, forming a specified castle item 16, and element 86 fixation with the help of which insert is locked in the groove 18.

In accordance with the nineteenth aspect of the present invention height HL castle item 16 is less than half the height of the HI inserts, and more preferably less than 1/3 of its height.

Obviously, this achieves the benefits mentioned in the introduction.

On fig.39 shown elastic displacement item 85 during the docking flooring panels 1 each other.

In addition, the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated fig.38 and 39, covers the following characteristics:

- castle item 16 contains a Chateau surface is 87 and opposite to it resistant surface 88, the castle surface 87 is located on the side of the castle item 16, which also forms the inner corner of the item 84;

- a hook-like item 84 can be tilted, preferably to the axis or area of 89 rotation, which is lower, and preferably under a specified plot 85, continuing in the direction;

- box 17 is located on the covering element, and preferably in a groove 18, located in the proximal end;

- the lower end of the -- the convert to the bottom of the plot 90 relies on the lower surface of the groove 18 or similar items;

without facing downwards plot 90 item 86 commit contains elastic processus 91, continued inward and upward groove 18, which facilitates the docking panels and improves their elastic properties;

- preferably specified elastic processus 91 adjoined to the back side of the plot 90, item 86 fixation was formed outgrowth 91 and part of the land plot 90, which extends from the borders of 91 and the back side of the plot 90 to the axis 89 rotation;

- vertical direction covered by item relies directly on the enclosing element in the absence of insertion 17;

- the bottom surface or insertion point 17 situated above the bottom surface covered by item that is above the lowest point of the ledge 10, which is an advantage, because the material under inserting 17 has a relatively large thickness.

- movable plot 85 departing towards essentially horizontal and forming a specified castle item 16, contains a Chateau surface 87, which is tilted to the plane of the panel 1 to 45 degrees, and more preferably to 30 degrees;

the locking element, and more specifically element of free space 92, allowing free movement of the lock of the 16 ago.

It should be noted that many of the above examples of the implementation of the present invention also cover its eighteenth and nineteenth aspects. This applies, inter alia, for example, fig.36. In this example, a hook-like element inserts 17 formed its a locking element of 16 and back of 22, and the element of the commit other areas insertion 17. The relationship between the heights of HL and HI stated on fig.36, also corresponds to the nineteenth aspect.

Fig.40 illustrates an example of the implementation of the present invention, an alternative example, fig.38, the alternative example, item 86 commit contains an additional plot 93, the end of which is included in a special recess 94 that enables you to lock box 17 and prevent it from slipping out of the slot 18.

In accordance with the alternative example, fig.41, Appendix 91 equipped with a plot 95, which is made at the same time a whole with the outgrowth and is its continuation, the section 95 provides additional support insertion due to the fact that he caught in the additional 96 groove 18.

From the above it is obvious that the present invention and, in particular, the castle element of the present invention can be used in a variety of sexual panels, including multilayer panels, modular panels, for example, the so-called «composite» wood panels, solid parquet, the dance floor, but also genital panels, fitted with arbitrary upper surface, for example, vinyl, linoleum, stone, metal etc. It should be noted that the core of such a panel can be made not only from wood or material from wood, but also any other material, for example, synthetic.

Insert the present invention is especially useful in solid parquet or «composite» wood panels, because the castle element, the lower part and in some cases the ledge insert allow you to effectively prevent the creaking parquet, especially if the insert is made of synthetic material.

It is also clear that innovative coupling element, fixation system and insert in accordance with one of the variants of the present invention can be used for mutual docking of one or several pairs of opposite sides, for example, wall or ceiling panels. This is true for all aspects of the present invention. In such cases also applies the method of laying the panels, illustrated, for example, 6. Of course, by «lowering» should be understood panel movement in the direction of the already laid panel perpendicular to its decorative surface. In addition, the names of the elements, which in the present description flooring panels referred to as the «top side», «bottom side» or «horizontal»shall be interpreted accordingly with respect to the location of the wall or the roof panel. So, decorative surface of a wall or roof panel must correspond to the upper side of the floor panel.

Finally, it should be noted that the insert on fig.16 can be located not limited in the size of 50, and on the node that contains, as mentioned, back and - if necessary - the lower part and the ledge.
