Abstract: The invention relates to a rectangular panel intended for lining a substrate, which panel comprises a base element comprising a decorative design on the visible surface thereof remote from the substrate. The decorative design depicts a plurality of strips shaped as parallelograms, one pair of parallelogram sides in each case forming a portion of the long side of the panel while the two other sides of the parallelogram extend obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the panel. According to the invention, at least two strips have a strip width that is different from one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a panel comprising a pattern which comprises at least two decorative portions, of which at least one is an end-grain wood surface. According to the invention, all of the decorative portions display a wood pattern. Furthermore, two decorative portions that are adjoining each other along a joint line are graphically processed adjacently to the joint line so as to result in an appearance that the human eye perceives to be natural and continuous.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a facing panel, on the long side surfaces of which there are connecting or locking elements (5, 6) that are different or which complement each other along the two parallel long side edges (4, 4?) of the facing panel (1, 1?) so that the long side edges (4, 4?) of two facing panels (1) with different locking elements can be connected to one another. On the visible surface (7) of the facing panel (1, 1?) there is a single stripe (2) that is parallel to and spaced apart from one of the two long side edges (4, 4?); the color of said stripe (2) is darker than the color of the remaining visible surface, one and the same connecting or locking element (6) being formed along the long-side edge (4) of the facing panel (1, 1?) to which the stripe (2) runs parallel or to which it is close, one and the same connecting or locking element (6) being formed on the opposite long-side edge (4?), this being complementary to the connecting or locking element (5) or lockable thereto.

Abstract: A multilayered board including a material board having a visible surface coated with at least one paper layer impregnated with resin. The multilayered board includes a material board, at least one paper layer structured to coat the material board, and a resin layer structured to impregnate the at least one paper layer, wherein the resin layer is arranged to face away from the material board and have an average layer thickness of at least 5 ?m.

Abstract: A laminated panel adapted to form a covering for a wall, floor or ceiling has an outer surface and sides which are connected to an adjacent panel. The panel has a recess in the outer surface at the transition to a side, and a moisture-repellent layer on the wall of the recess. When two panels are connected the moisture-repellent layers come together at the recesses, to form a joint which is protected from moisture.

Abstract: The invention relates to panels having a decorative surface for forming a flooring, to a method for producing the decors and to a flooring made up of said panels. The invention finally relates to a decorative paper. The aim of the invention is to provide panels that allow to produce an inexpensive flooring having a high-quality appearance and to provide a corresponding method for producing them. For this purpose, the décor surfaces of panels on at least one end each are optically adapted to each other to such a degree that, when the panels are laid, they give a continuous image of the décor at the transition from one laid panel to the adjacent laid panel. The wood décor has a continuous image within the meaning of the invention if the grain of the depicted wood is optically uninterrupted at the transition from one laid panel to the adjacent laid panel, i.e. when there is no offset between the respective depicted grains. The same applies for other decors, for example stone decors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the contactless printing of a visible surface (10b) of a cladding panel (10) with a first predetermined pattern and at least one visible section (24a, 26a) of the surface of coupling means (24, 26), which are used to connect two panels (10) of this type, with a second predetermined pattern. According to the invention the first and second predetermined patterns are printed on the panel (10) in a contactless manner in a common printing operation, wherein the different spacing (H1, H2, H3) of the visible surface (10b) and of the at least one visible section (24a, 26a) from the printing unit (36) is taken into consideration by means of an adjustment, taking into account this spacing (H1, H2, H3), of the control signals fed to the printing unit (36) for the control thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to locking elements that are designed in such a manner that they can adopt an initial position into which the boards are brought by especially lowering them in an exclusively vertical manner. A terminal position is achieved by especially subsequently displacing the panels along the common joint. In this position, the two panels can be interlocked in a manner perpendicular to the panel surface and parallel to the panel surface and at the same time perpendicular to the common connecting joint.

Abstract: The invention relates to a veneered panel (1) having a supporting panel (2) and a veneer which is joined to at least one surface of the supporting panel (2). An overlay (4) is provided on the side of the veneer (3) facing away from the supporting plate.

Abstract: Covering panel(s) for floors have a groove (12) along at least one edge and have a tongue (6) along another edge (17). Panels (1, 2) to be joined to one another can be joined by inserting the tongue (6) into the groove (12). A bead (8) made of an adhesive and/or plastic is placed on or affixed to at least one tongue surface (7). According to the invention, a recess (3) is formed in the tongue surface (7) and serves to accommodate the bead (8), and a detent recess (5), which is delimited by a detent surface (4), is formed in the inside wall surface (15) of the groove, this surface facing the tongue surface (7). When the tongue (6) is inserted into the groove (12), the bead (8) projects into the detent recess (5) whereby enabling the bead (8) and the detent surface (4) to latch.

Abstract: The invention relates to stacks of panels (1), in particular, laminated panels, packaged for transport or storage. Said stack comprises several coated panels, for example, laminated panels, panels made from plywood, fibreboard or wood panels. The stack further comprises a packaging, with at least one strap (3), going around the stack and/or at least one retainer element (2), on the front side of the stack for fixing the panels. For example, the strap or the retainer element are provided in addition to further packaging elements, such as shrink-wrap or cardboard completely or partly enclosing the panels. The retainer element can, for example, be fixed to the stack and enclose the front face of the stack. By means of both measures, either individually or in combination, the withdrawal and removal of single panels from the stack is hindered or prevented. For example the strap can run perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the panels.

The multilayered board includes a material board, at least one paper layer structured to coat the material board, and a resin layer structured to impregnate the at least one paper layer, wherein the resin layer is arranged to face away from the material board and have an average layer thickness of at least 5 ?m.

Abstract: An arrangement of building elements capable of a snap-fastening interconnection comprises an element, especially the tongue, consisting of a different material from the other building elements. An MDF/HDF panel, is initially milled along the longitudinal and/or transverse sides, and the resulting groove is then provided and/or foam-filled with extrudates. Finally, the free ends of the extrudates are milled to form the profile of the tongue. Alternatively, or additionally, a groove may also be milled into the extrudates.
