Patent number: 11674319Abstract: Floor panels which are provided with a mechanical locking system including an extruded flexible tongue in a sidewardly open groove which during a vertical folding motion is bent horizontally. A tongue adapted for being received in a sidewardly open groove of a floor panel, wherein the tongue, which is an elongated extruded section, when received in the groove is bendable in a plane substantially parallel with a front face of the floor panel, such that the tongue is at least partially resiliently displaceable inside said sidewardly open groove in said plane during locking of the floor panel with another floor panel and wherein a vertical protrusion, serving as a friction connection between the tongue and the groove, is arranged at an upper or lower part of the tongue, wherein a total width of tongue varies in a longitudinal direction of the tongue.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: VALINGE INNOVATION ABInventors: Darko Pervan, Niclas Håkansson, Per Nygren

Patent number: 11506235Abstract: A set including a first element with a cylindrical shaped part, a second element having a cylindrical shaped groove with a circular opening in an outer surface of the second element, and a mechanical locking device. The mechanical locking device includes a tongue groove, a displacement groove and a flexible tongue in the displacement groove, and is configured to lock the cylindrical shaped part to the cylindrical shaped groove. The flexible tongue is configured to cooperate with the tongue groove for locking the cylindrical shaped part to the cylindrical shaped groove. The flexible tongue is configured to be reshaped and displaced in the displacement groove during locking, and spring back to a locked position. The flexible tongue is configured to exert a spring force on the tongue groove in the locked position.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2018Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: VALINGE INNOVATION ABInventors: Jonas Fransson, Niclas Håkansson, Agne Pålsson
