Patent number: 11137007Abstract: A set of panels including a first panel with a first main plane and a second panel with a second main plane. A first edge of the first panel is configured to be locked to a second edge of the second panel, wherein the first main plane is essentially perpendicular to the second main plane, and wherein the first and the second edges are locked in a first direction, which is perpendicular to the first main plane, and a second direction, which is perpendicular to the second main plane. The first edge includes an edge tongue, with a longitudinal direction along the first edge, including a bottom edge, a first surface and an opposite second surface. The edge groove and/or the edge tongue is/are configured such that a greater force is absorbed by the longitudinal central part than by an edge part at third and fourth edges.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2019Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: VALINGE INNOVATION ABInventor: Magnus Fridlund

Publication number: 20200055126Abstract: An element with an insertion groove and a dismantling groove. A method for providing a dismantling groove in an element for a product to be assembled by a plurality of elements locked by a locking arrangement including a flexible tongue. The method includes providing an insertion groove and a dismantling groove in the same element. The dismantling groove extends along the element between a first side and a second side and is configured for receiving the flexible tongue of the locking arrangement for locking the element to another element having a tongue groove. The dismantling groove is provided in the element such that it extends from the first side to the insertion groove and along a portion of the insertion groove, and is configured to receive a dismantling tool for dismantling the element from the other element.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2019Publication date: February 20, 2020Applicant: Valinge Innovation ABInventor: Magnus FRIDLUND

Patent number: 9399308Abstract: A floorboard (1), which along one long side has a female connecting means (2) and along its other long side has a male connecting member (4), is made of a raw board (18), which is substantially rectangular in cross-section. The raw board (18) has a carrier layer (14, 15) and, applied thereto, a wear layer (16). The raw board (18) is first subjected to limited profiling, which comprises the step of the surface layer (16) being provided with longitudinal edge bevels (17). After that, the surface layer (16) provided with edge bevels (17) is varnished. Finally the raw board (181) is subjected to final profiling intended for finishing of the connecting member (2, 4) and comprising the step of a downward and laterally open longitudinal recess (13) for receiving a connecting part (10) of the female connecting member (12) of another floorboard being formed under a connecting part (12) of the male connecting means (4).Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2007Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: TARKETT ABInventor: Magnus Fridlund
