Abstract: Furniture carcass formed from panels assembled edge to edge by means of a groove (21) and loose tongue (11) assembly, a first (10) and a second panel (20) being joined by the edge of the first panel (10) hearing against the inner side (20a) of the second panel (20). The first panel (10) comprises a loose tongue (11), and the second panel (20) comprises, along the edge of its inner side (20a), a recess (21), complementary in shape to that of the edge with the bearing surface (15), a longitudinal assembly groove (21), complementary in shape to that of the tongue (11), and, beyond the groove (21), a bearing surface (25), recessed relative to the plane of its inner side (20a), for receiving the edge tearing surface (15). The assembly groove (21) has a bottom surface (22) and a small bearing surface (24) joined by a truncated concave ridge (27) and the loose tongue (11) has a complementary truncated ridge (17).

Abstract: Method for manufacturing a plastic panel having a first side (1) with a hook (11), a first assembly cavity (12) and a locking cavity (13) which is recessed and whose upper side forms a bearing surface and a protrusion (21) comprising a beak (24) in the junction plane, an inset recess (23) continuing by a bearing point (32) connecting with a groove (31), a flexible lock (3) which can retract by elastic deformation into the recess (23) during the assembly movement of the panel (100a) to be installed and extend inside the locking cavity (13). According to the method, the first side (1) is machined (I) to its final section and with the blank of the second side (2) with a protruding tab (4) which is locally heated (II) after cooling (III) to bend it and form the lock (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a product that adsorbs VOCs (150), comprising acetoacetamide, said product being characterised in that it consists of granular activated carbon (100) coated with crystallised acetoacetamide (13) on the surface of the granules, leaving free the pores of the channels (10) of the spongy body formed by the granular activated carbon. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coating at least one upper face (3) and at least one contoured edge (5, 6) of a wooden, synthetic and/or composite decorative panel (1) with a decorative sheet (4). The inventive method is characterized in that it comprises the following steps consisting in: coating all or part of the upper face (3) with a urea-formaldehyde glue (C1); coating the contoured edge(s) (5, 6) with a different glue (C2), particularly of the polyurethane or polyvinyl-acetate type; and applying the decorative sheet (4) on the upper face (6) and the contoured edges (5, 6), for example by means of lamination. The invention also relates to the decorative panel thus produced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing floor covering strips or slabs (1) comprising support panels (2) which are covered with a decorative layer (3) by means of surfacing. The invention is characterised in that it comprises the following steps consisting in: applying glue to ail or part of at least one face (5) of a support panel (2), applying a decorative sheet (7) to the glued face (5) of the support panel (2), in particular by means of calendering; and cutting the panel (2) into floor covering strips and/or slabs (1). The invention also relates to a facility that is used to implement said method and to a floor covering strip thus produced.

Abstract: Laminated floorboards with sound damping in a less complicated manner. For this purpose, a compensating element, is provided in which an impregnated paper is joined to an insulating underlay. By means of the use of the compensating element in a laminated floorboard, in which the insulating underlay is used as a sound-damping material layer, in particular using an adhesive coating between paper and underlay, a halving of the sound pressure as compared with a standardized reference floor construction can be demonstrated in a footfall test. A series of process engineering, environmentally friendly and logistical advantages are associated with the use of the process and apparatuses according to the invention for production of compensating element and laminated floorboard, such as the omission of specific fabrication steps, a reduced use of formaldehyde and the ability to use simplified transport apparatuses.
