Publication number: 20070283654Abstract: The invention is a joint cover assembly for covering a gap adjacent an edge of a panel that covers a sub-surface, and a method of covering such a gap. The assembly can be manipulated to form an end molding, a T-molding, a hard surface reducer, a carpet reducer, and/or a stair nose molding. A kit can include the joint cover assembly an a tool for forming a flooring transition from a generic element having break-away sections.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Applicant: PFLEIDERER SCHWEIZ AGInventors: Oliver Stanchfield, Sven Kornfalt, Roland Larsson, William Pierce, Sabad La Serna, Patrick Smith, Wayne Johnston

Publication number: 20070245662Abstract: The invention is a joint cover assembly for covering a gap adjacent an edge of a panel that covers a sub-surface, and a method of covering such a gap. The assembly includes a molding having a foot, a first arm, and a second arm. The foot is positioned along a longitudinal axis of the molding, and the first arm extends generally perpendicularly to the foot. The second arm may also extend generally perpendicularly to the foot. A tab depends from at least one of the first and second arms. At least one of the tab and the foot engage a track in order to position the assembly over the gap. The method includes the steps of placing the foot in the gap, pressing the respective panel engaging surfaces into contact with respective panels, and configuring at least one of the tab and the foot to cooperate to retain the molding in the gap when the assembly is in an installed condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2007Publication date: October 25, 2007Applicant: Pergo (Europe) ABInventor: Oliver Stanchfield

Publication number: 20070107344Abstract: A thin decorative thermosetting laminate of postforming quality is glued to a longitudinal carrier to form a floor strip. The laminate has a thermosetting resin as well as hard particles impregnated therein to increase the abrasion resistance of the laminate. The carrier generally has a cross section of a dilatation, transition or a finishing profile, depending on the intended use of the floor strip. The floor strip has a tab portion on a surface that engages a channel on a floor tile or a reducer. The tab portion locks the floor strip into place and prevents movement of the floor tile or the reducer with respect to the floor strip.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2006Publication date: May 17, 2007Applicant: Pergo (Europe) ABInventors: Sven Kornfalt, Per Bengtsson, Hans Sjolin, Oliver Stanchfield
