  • Patent number: 11875709
    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.

  • Patent number: 11199010
    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.

  • Publication number: 20170121983
    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.

  • Publication number: 20170057276
    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.

  • Patent number: 7856780
    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.
