Patent number: 11781324Abstract: A set of essentially identical panels, such as building panels, provided with a mechanical locking system including a displaceable tongue arranged in a displacement groove having a first opening at a first edge of a first panel. The tongue is configured to be displaced in the displacement groove along a displacement axis to attain a locking state wherein a first portion of the tongue cooperates with a first tongue groove having a second opening at a second edge of an adjacent second panel, for vertical locking of the first and the second edge. A second portion of the tongue is configured to cooperate with the second edge of the adjacent second panel via an elongated element for vertical unlocking of the first and the second edge.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Välinge Innovation ABInventors: Roger Ylikangas, Karl Quist, Anders Nilsson, Caroline Landgård

Publication number: 20230258002Abstract: A floor panel assembly including a first and a second panel. A first edge portion of the first panel includes an upwardly extending locking element and a second edge portion of the second panel includes a downwardly open locking groove configured to cooperate with the locking element for horizontally locking the first and second edge portions to each other. The floor panel assembly further includes a connecting device configured to be at least partially arranged in the locking groove in a locked state of the first and second edge portions. The connecting device includes a positioning member configured to extend along a third edge portion of the first panel in the locked state, wherein the first and third edge portions join each other at a corner portion of the first panel. Also, a corresponding connecting device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2022Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: Välinge Innovation ABInventors: Caroline LANDGÅRD, Robin MELLBY, Fredrik BOO, Rickard RITTINGE, Christian BOO, Karl QUIST

Publication number: 20230235571Abstract: A set of rectangular building panels have a frontside and a backside and a mechanical locking device at opposite first and second edge portion configured for plane locking of similar panels in an assembled position by means of displacement of a plane with a second edge portion of a second panel in an engagement direction towards a first edge portion of an adjacent first panel. The first edge portion includes a first locking element configured to cooperate for plane locking with a first locking groove at the second edge portion. The first edge portion has a first front edge portion adjacent the frontside of the first panel and a first sub edge portion between the first front edge portion and a flexible tongue in an insertion groove, the insertion groove being arranged between the backside of the first panel and the first sub edge portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: Välinge Innovation ABInventors: Lucas LARSSON, Caroline LANDGÅRD

Publication number: 20220243482Abstract: The disclosure relates to building panels, such as floor panels, including a locking device. The locking device includes a protrusion and a groove configured to cooperate for vertical locking of a first edge portion of a first building panel to an adjacent second edge portion of a second building panel. The locking device further includes a separate tongue arranged in an insertion groove and a recess configured to cooperate for horizontal locking of the first and the second edge portions. The first and second edge portions are configured to be assembled by a relative essentially horizontal displacement and/or by angling. The insertion groove is provided vertically below at least one horizontal plane extending along a vertical locking surface provided in a third edge portion of the first building panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Applicant: Välinge Innovation ABInventors: Caroline LANDGÅRD, Marcus STÅHL, Darko PERVAN

Patent number: 11377858Abstract: A decking system including floor elements and a connecting system including a connecting device for connecting a first and a second floor element, wherein the connecting device is removably connectable to a support member. A first and a second connecting portion of the connecting device are configured to cooperate with a first and a second engagement portion, respectively, of the first and second floor elements for vertically connecting the first and second floor elements. The connecting device further includes a displaceable portion which is horizontally displaceable and is configured to assume a first and a second horizontal state, wherein a horizontal extension of the connecting device in the second horizontal state is smaller than a horizontal extension of thereof in the first horizontal state.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: VALINGE INNOVATION ABInventors: Roger Ylikangas, Marcus Bergelin, Anders Nilsson, Karl Quist, Caroline Landgård
