Subfloor joint
11578495 · 2023-02-14 · ·

A set of essentially identical subfloor panels including a joint configured to be glued, wherein the joint includes an element at a strip which protrudes from a first joint edge at an edge of a panel and an element groove at an adjacent edge. The joint includes a flexible tongue which is configured to cooperate, in the joined position, with a tongue groove for positioning of the panel relative the adjacent panel in a first vertical direction. The joint is configured for a joining of the edge and the adjacent edge by a vertical motion of the edge relative the adjacent edge. A space above the strip and between the element and the first joint edge is configured to be filled partly or completely with a glue before the edge and the adjacent edge are joined.

The decorative panel includes a substrate and a top layer. The substrate has at least one of polyvinyl chloride layer. The top layer includes a decorative textile layer providing the surface of the decorative panel. The top layer is laminated onto the substrate by thermal bonding of the top layer onto the substrate; or by a polyvinyl chloride based adhesive layer. The substrate is provided at a first pair of opposite edges with coupling parts, substantially in the form of male coupling parts and female coupling parts, for coupling two such panels to each other at their first pair of opposite edges. The coupling parts are provided with locking means which effects a locking in coupled condition of two such panels in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the coupled panels and/or into the direction perpendicular to the respective edges in the plane of the panels.

SYSTEM FOR FASTENING SLATS
20230003033 · 2023-01-05 ·

A system for fastening to a flat surface slats having a rectangular or square plan shape predisposed to be arranged two by two side by side and spaced mutually apart to make a flooring, wall, or ceiling includes: a base integrally associated with a flat surface and configured for positioning above and/or laterally thereto at least two slats in a laying condition. The system includes a constraining component of this base to two of these slats positioned above and/or laterally thereto in the laying condition, and a supporting component of at least one of two of these slats positioned above and/or laterally to the base in the laying condition. The supporting component includes at least one bridge structure defined by two legs, connected by a crosspiece which defines, on the opposite side to the base, an abutment surface, to prevent or limit deformation of this portion towards the base.
