Floor covering, made of floor elements, which, at least at two opposite sides, comprise a male and a female coupling part, which allow that two of such floor elements can be interconnected at the respective sides at the respective sides by pushing one of these floor elements with the associated male coupling part, by means of a downward movement, home into the female coupling part of the other floor element, wherein at least one of said coupling parts, either the male coupling part or the female coupling part, is made as least partially in a filled synthetic material composite, such as extruded wood.

A packaging line to pack profiles and a rotor are described herein. An example method includes transferring a first profile to a movable head carrying a rotor, coupling the first profile to the rotor, along a first side wall of the first profile, with a concave section of the first profile facing upwards, rotating, via the rotor, the first profile such that the concave section of the first profile is facing downwards, transferring a second profile to the movable head with a concave section of the second profile facing upwards, and releasing the first profile over the second profile to insert a side wall of the first profile into the concave section of the second profile and a side wall of the second profile into the concave section of the first profile.

A method of assembling resilient floorboards is disclosed that includes the step of bending an edge of a floorboard during the assembling. The bending reduces the force required for connection of the edge to another edge of a juxtaposed floorboard. The floorboards may be provided with a mechanical locking system for vertical and horizontal locking of two adjacent floorboards.

A ventilated roof features an elongated vent having a vent opening and an elongated vent shingle supporting surface. The vent opening is in fluid communication with a slot defined by the top surface of a roof deck and communicating through the roof deck. An end cap has an end cap shingle supporting surface and is located adjacent to an end of the elongated vent. The vent and the end cap adjacent to the vent are supported in an equivalent spaced-apart relation to the top surface of the roof deck. The elongated vent shingle supporting surface, the end cap shingle supporting surface and the top surface of the roof deck provide a substantially continuous support to a shingle overlapping any two of those elements.

The present invention pertains to a nut to be used as part of a fastener to be used in multiple ways in various industries or methods. The nut has a drive mechanism and stud extending from the drive mechanism with a threaded bore. In addition the nut can be specifically used as a method and as part of special fastener that can be used to join cut, hard-wood members, other naturally occurring manufactured mat members or synthetically man made members, referred to as timber(s) or laminated, in forming a mat used for heavy construction equipment to run on over ground which is not stable. These mats are commonly referred to as Crane Mats or Laminated Mats in the construction, mining, pipeline, and oil and gas industries among others.

A tool configuration 68, 68 incorporating a preprocessing step 67, 67 and a method incorporating the tool configuration with its preprocessing step, producing an improved locking system of a floor panel 1, 1. With the special tool configuration, and the preprocessing step changing the properties of the surface layer, certain surfaces are profiled of the joint edge of the floor panel, resulting in decreased tolerances. An equipment having an upper belt or chain guided in a horizontal direction, by an upper guiding device, and configured to press the floor panel vertically towards the lower chain, decreasing the tolerances of the produced floor panel as well.

A method for manufacturing a central underbody portion of a structural body of a motor vehicle to delimit a bottom of a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The method includes assembling a floor of the central underbody portion, attaching an integral central profile to the floor, arranged in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and having a length dependent on a length of the central underbody portion in the longitudinal direction, and assembling at least one end piece forming an extension of the central profile. The end piece has an interface providing a connection and a function of absorbing and transmitting forces with a structural portion of the body that is separate from the central underbody portion and/or with the floor. The attaching includes adapting the length of the central profile as a function of the length of the central underbody portion in the longitudinal direction.

Method and Apparatus for fabricating a spacer frame for use in an insulating glass unit. One of a multiple number of possible spacer frame materials is chosen for the spacer frame. An elongated strip of the material is moved to a notching station where notches are formed at corner locations. The character of the notches is adjusted based on the selection of the metal strip material and more particularly to achieve bending of the material in an repeatable, straightforward manner. Better control over the notching process is also achieved by exhaust flow control of a double acting cylinder. A positioning spacer achieve very accurate side to side positioning of a die and anvil to precisely notch and deform the metal strip. Downstream from the notching station the metal strip is bent into a channel shaped elongated frame member having side walls. Further downstream a leading strip of channel shaped material is severed or separated from succeeding material still passing through the notching and bending station.
