Abstract: Sample folder (10) comprising a first pack (12), a second pack (14), the first pack (12) and the second pack (14) being designed as separate units, and the first pack (12) having a housing (16) with which the second pack (14) can be connected in a basic position in such a way that the second pack (14) is at least partially surrounded by the housing (16) of the first pack (12) and is detachably held thereby.

Abstract: A flooring system is provided comprising a plurality of (identical) floor panels, which are mechanically connectable to each other along at least one pair of adjacent first and second opposite joint edges. The panels comprise locking elements for connecting said panels in both horizontal and vertical direction. In order to consider the often occurring situation that in panels—especially when stored under changing external conditions, especially changing humidity—might warp, the (vertical) locking element in the panels is constructed with a (slight) play, so that in the event that two panels have slightly different warp nevertheless can easily and reliably be mechanically connected with each other omitting the need to exert an excess of force to fit the panels.

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: A panel assembly (34) has a plurality of panels (30), of which each includes a base element (10) which has a decorative paper (12) on the surface thereof facing away from the substrate, which decorative paper reproduces the appearance of a natural material, wherein each panel (30) is provided, using an embossing element, with a surface structure substantially synchronous to the decoration (16) of the visible face of the decorative paper (12), and the decoration (16) of a first number of panels (30-1) is subdivided by means of an imitation joint (32) extending in the longitudinal direction (L) of the respective panel (30-1) into a first decorative portion (16a) of a first predetermined width and into a second decorative portion (16b) of a second predetermined width, whereas the decoration (16) of the remaining panels (30-2) is free of such subdivisions in the width direction (B). An embossing element and a decorative paper sheet for producing such a panel assembly can also be provided.

Abstract: A panel for cladding a substrate and a method for producing same, in which a plurality of indentations, which start from the visible surface, extend so as to be inclined (?, ?) relative to the visible surface and end in respective side surface, are formed at the transition from the visible surface into at least one of the side surfaces to form a chamfer. A The chamfer is formed solely by the plurality of indentations, which include at least a first group of indentations all of which extend in an inclined manner relative to the visible surface at a first inclination angle (?), and a second group of indentations all of which extend in an inclined manner relative to the visible surface at a second inclination angle (?), the first inclination angle (?) and the second inclination angle (?) different from each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to mechanical connecting means, in particular for panels, which can be connected together in a positive fit in two spatial directions which are perpendicular to each other.

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: The invention relates to a cladding panel having at least two pairs of side edges lying substantially opposite one another. The cladding panel includes a coupling mechanism structured and arranged on at least one of the at least two pairs of side edges, and including a groove and a tongue extending along respective side edges of the at least one pair. A roughening formed on at least a section of at least one of the tongue and the groove.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cladding panel (10) with two pairs of side edges (10a-10d) lying opposite one another, whereby at least one pair of side edges is provided with coupling means (12) embodied essentially in the form of a groove (12a, 12c) and a tongue (12b, 12d) and extending along the respective side edge. According to the invention, at least one section (14a1) of the boundary surface of the groove (12a, 12c) or/and at least one section (14b1) of the boundary surface of the tongue (12b, 12d) is provided with a roughening (18).

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 colour of said stripe (2) is darker than the colour 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.
