SOIL COVER, UNDERSTANDING HEAVY FLOOR PANELS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH PANELS FOR SOIL.

摘要

Floor covering, consisting of hard floor panels (1) that, at least on the edges of two opposite edges (2-3, 26-27), are provided with joining parts (4-5, 28-29) cooperating with each other, substantially in the form of a tongue (9-31) and a groove (10-32), whereby the connecting parts are provided with integrated mechanical locking means (6) made of a piece with the panel (1) that prevent the separation of two coupled floor panels (1) in a direction (R) perpendicular to the related edges (2-3, 26-27) and parallel to the bottom face (7) of said coupled panels ( 1) characterized in that said connecting parts (4-5, 28-29) are provided with means that, in the embedded condition of two or more such flooring panels (1), exert a tensile force on the other which forces the floor panels (1) towards each other, said means comprising an elastically curved part which, in the embedded position, is at least parc It is curved and thus provides the tension force mentioned above.
