Patent number: 9249581Abstract: A method of assembling resilient floorboards is disclosed that includes the step of bending an edge of a floorboard during the assembling. The bending reduces the force required for connection of the edge to another edge of a juxtaposed floorboard.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2014Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: VALINGE INNOVATION ABInventors: Mats Nilsson, Per Nygren

Patent number: 9238917Abstract: Floor panels with a flexible tongue in an insertion groove, the flexible tongue is designed to cooperate, in a connected state with a tongue groove of another panel, the panels are adapted to be locked together by vertical folding, the flexible tongue has a projection portion which, in a connected state projects outside the insertion groove and cooperates with the tongue groove, said projecting portion has a beveled and/or rounded sliding surface and the panels have a sliding surface adapted to cooperate therewith during vertical folding, the flexible tongue during the vertical folding is displaced twice in the horizontal direction, a first displacement is effected by the vertical folding of the fold panel whereby at least a part of the flexible tongue is bent, a second displacement of the flexible tongue towards its initial position is accomplished substantially by a spring effect caused by said bending of said flexible tongue.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2013Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: VALINGE INNOVATION ABInventors: Darko Pervan, Niclas Hakansson, Per Nygren

Patent number: 9194134Abstract: Building panels, such as floorboards, provided with a mechanical locking system. The mechanical locking system includes a displacement groove at a first edge of a first floorboard and a tongue groove at a second edge of a second floorboard A tongue is arranged in the displacement groove and is configured to cooperate, in a second position, with the tongue groove for vertical locking of the first and the second edge. The tongue includes, in a first position, an inner element and an outer element. The inner element is removable along the displacement groove, and is configured to cooperate with the outer element to obtain a displacement of the outer element towards the tongue groove and thereby obtain the second position. Said inner element and said outer element vertically overlap each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: VALINGE INNOVATION ABInventors: Per Nygren, Marcus Bergelin
