  • Publication number: 20240093508
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a set of panels comprising a locking device for locking a first edge portion of a first panel to a second edge portion of a second panel. The locking device comprises a horizontal locking device and a vertical locking device. The vertical locking device comprises a separate tongue arranged in an insertion groove of the first edge portion and a tongue groove provided in the second edge portion. In a vertically locked state of the first and second edge portions, an abutment member provided at a longitudinal end portion of the separate tongue cooperates with a stop surface of the second edge portion, and a locking portion of the separate tongue cooperates with the tongue groove.

  • Publication number: 20240093509
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a set of panels, such as building panels, comprising a first panel and a second panel and a locking device for locking a first edge portion of the first panel to a second edge portion of the second panel. The locking device includes a vertical locking device. The vertical locking device comprises a flexible tongue arranged in an insertion groove of one of said first edge portion and said second edge portion. The vertical locking device also comprises a tongue groove provided in and extending along the other of said one of said first edge portion and said second edge portion. In a vertically locked state of the first and second edge portions a flexible portion of the flexible tongue cooperates with tongue groove. In the vertically locked state of the first and second edge portions a longitudinal end portion of the flexible tongue cooperates with a stop surface on the other of said one of said first edge portion and said second edge portion.

  • Publication number: 20230258002
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20220298803
    Abstract: A set of panels each including a main surface, a first edge, an opposite second edge, a third edge which is adjacent to the first edge and a fourth edge which is opposite to the third edge. The set includes a mechanical locking device which is configured to lock the first edge to the second edge. The locking device includes a flexible tongue. The flexible tongue includes a central part configured to cooperate with a tongue groove for locking. A first edge part and the tongue groove are configured such that when in the locked position a force P? is applied adjacent the first edge and the third edge of the first panel and another force P is applied adjacent the second edge and the third edge of the second panel, the first edge part is pushed towards a bottom surface of an insertion groove which allows a disassembling.

  • Publication number: 20220228372
    Abstract: A set of panels including first and second panels. The first and second panels respectively include first and second edges. The first edge includes a locking strip with a locking element configured to cooperate with a locking groove at the second edge for locking the first edge to the second edge. The locking element includes a first locking surface at a first angle from a plane parallel to the first panel surface and the locking groove includes a second locking surface at a second angle from a plane parallel to the third panel surface. The first angle is different from the second angle such that the first locking surface converges towards the second locking surface at a cooperation part in a locked position. The first locking surface cooperates with the second locking surface at the cooperation part.

  • Patent number: 11326353
    Abstract: A set of panels including first and second panels. The first and second panels respectively include first and second edges. The first edge includes a locking strip with a locking element configured to cooperate with a locking groove at the second edge for locking the first edge to the second edge. The locking element includes a first locking surface at a first angle from a plane parallel to the first panel surface and the locking groove includes a second locking surface at a second angle from a plane parallel to the third panel surface. The first angle is different from the second angle such that the first locking surface converges towards the second locking surface at a cooperation part in a locked position. The first locking surface cooperates with the second locking surface at the cooperation part.
