  • Tool for use when laying down floor elements with tongue and groove joints
    Patent number: 7121528
    Abstract: A tool for installing a floor element is provided for pushing a floor element against already fixated floor elements prior to the fixation of the floor element. The tool includes a cushion with a first rod-shaped part extending upwardly from an upper side of the cushion and a second rod-shaped part forming a striking tool at a free end thereof. The two rod-shaped parts are hinged to each other so that the striking tool strikes against the cushion by movement of one of the rod-shaped parts relative to the other rod-shaped part. As the cushion has a side surface which is suitable for resting against a side surface of the floor element, the striking of the striking tool against the cushion transfer a striking force through the cushion to the floor element.
