Patent number: 11608646Abstract: A panel including an upper side, a lower side, a core and complementary locking elements provided in pairs on opposing panel edges. At least one pair of locking elements has complementary hook profiles, namely a receiving hook and an arresting hook. The receiving hook has a hook periphery arranged remote from the main body and a receiving recess arranged in the vicinity of the basic body. The receiving recess is open towards the panel upper side, and the arresting hook has an arresting recess, arranged in the vicinity of the basic body and open towards the panel lower side, and has an arresting shoulder remote from the basic body and which, in the vertical joining direction, fits into the receiving recess of the receiving hook. The arresting hook has a vertically locking arresting contour and the receiving hook has a form-fitting contour, which form fits with the arresting contour of the arresting hook.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2019Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: AKZENTA PANEELE + PROFILE GMBHInventors: Erich Schäfers, Hans-Jürgen Hannig

Patent number: 11168482Abstract: A panel, including a first edge pair of complementary interlocking retaining profiles on opposing panel edges. One of the retaining profiles has a locking groove having a retaining strip, which protrudes at the free end of the lower groove wall toward the panel surface. The complementary retaining profile has a locking tongue, which, in the joined state, interacts with the retaining surface of the retaining strip, and a play with both vertical and horizontal components so that the retaining profiles are movable perpendicularly to the panel surface and movable perpendicularly to the panel edges and parallel to the panel surface. In a joining step, the bottom side of the locking tongue is laid horizontal onto the retaining strip of the locking groove and then the tongue top side is slid against the inside of the upper groove wall, the tongue top side touching the inside of the upper groove wall in the region of the panel core.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Hans-Jürgen Hannig, Erich Schäfers

Patent number: 10612248Abstract: A panel having a panel upper side and a panel lower side and at least two opposing panel edges. One panel edge has a simple fold projecting in the lower region of the panel edge and recessed in the upper region. The opposing panel edge has a complementary simple fold projecting in the upper region and recessed in the lower region, so that both folds form together a stepshaped connection in the connected state. The panel edges each have an edge break on the panel upper side, which form in the connected state a joint in a covering surface. The edge break of one of the panel edges is larger than the edge break of the opposing panel edge. A lower part of the large edge break of the one panel edge is overlapped in the connected state by the small edge break of the opposing panel edge.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2016Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: AKZENTA PANEELE + PROFILE GMBHInventors: Hans-Jürgen Hannig, Erich Schäfers

Patent number: 10508457Abstract: A panel having a pair of complementary locking elements at mutually opposite panel edges. The locking elements are positively locking holding profiles with a locking groove and a complementary locking tongue respectively. At least at the edge of one of the holding profiles the panel surface has an edge break portion. The holding profile provided with the edge break portion has an upper contact surface beneath the edge break portion and the complementary holding profile has a complementary upper contact surface arranged substantially parallel thereto. A butt joint is produced by contact of two contact surfaces. The butt joint is inclined relative to the panel surface. One of the contact surfaces is associated with a tongue and is inclined downwardly toward the free end of the tongue in question and the complementary upper contact surface is associated with a groove and is inclined downwardly toward the bottom of the groove.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: AKZENTA PANEELE + PROFILE GMBHInventors: Hans-Jürgen Hannig, Erich Schäfers
