Abstract

A flooring system is provided comprising a plurality of (identical) floor panels, which are mechanically connectable to each other along at least one pair of adjacent first and second opposite joint edges. The panels comprise locking elements for connecting said panels in both horizontal and vertical direction. In order to consider the often occurring situation that in panels—especially when stored under changing external conditions, especially changing humidity—might warp, the (vertical) locking element in the panels is constructed with a (slight) play, so that in the event that two panels have slightly different warp nevertheless can easily and reliably be mechanically connected with each other omitting the need to exert an excess of force to fit the panels.

Abstract

A rectangular panel for floor-, wall- or ceiling coverings is provided comprising a visible decorative side, wherein the decorative side comprises at least one undulated edge line, which extends along the long side edges of the panel, said undulated edge line having a different design than the rest of the decorative side. In the provided panel(s), the physical edges and the optical edges may diverge, which provides the possibility that multiple panels can be installed as floor ceiling or wall covering in a way that the physical edges in a corresponding covering become almost invisible whereas the optical edges (i.e. the undulated edge lines) are perceived as artificial optical edge of virtual panels forming the covering.

The board comprises a core material board and is laminated with a laminate material layer. At least one impressed region running linear over the complete surface is present in the surface where the laminate material layer is present. The dissecting of the board is accomplished along these impressed regions. After dissecting pairing mechanical locking means at opposite edges of the raw boards are milled out. According to the present invention, the impressed region has a well defined width in order to allow deviations from an ideal dissecting plane, when dissecting the board in order to produce panels. The present invention furthermore relates to a press plate, allowing for the production of boards having well defined impressed regions. Furthermore, the present invention discloses a method for the production of a board, having a specific defined impressed region. In addition, also a board for the production of panels is described.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a flooring system comprising a plurality of (identical) floor panels which are mechanically connectable to each other along at least one pair of adjacent first and second opposite joint edges. The panels comprise locking elements for connecting said panels in both horizon- tal and vertical direction. In order to consider the often occurring situation that in panels especially when stored under changing external conditions, especially changing humidity might warp, the (vertical) locking element in the panels is constructed with a (slight) play, so that in the event that two panels have slightly different warp nevertheless can easily and reliably be me- chanically connected with each other omitting the need to exert an excess of force to fit the panels.

Abstract

The present invention refers to a rectangular panel for floor-, wall- or ceiling coverings comprising a visible decorative side, wherein the decorative side comprises at least one undulated edge line which extends along the long side edges of the panel, said undulated edge line being designed different than the rest of the decorative side. In the panels according to the present invention the physical edges and the optical edges diverge which enables for the possibility that a plurality of panels can be installed as floor ceiling or wall covering in a way that the physical edges in an according covering become almost invisible whereas the optical edges (i.e. the undulated edge lines) are perceived as artificial optical edge of virtual panels forming the covering.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a panel as well as a method for producing a panel, in particular a wall- ceiling- or floor panel. The method according to the invention provides that a layer of liquid radiation curing acrylate with a low Martens hardness is applied on a support layer in a first step. This is followed by an application of an intermediate layer in a second step and thereafter the application of a further layer wet-on-wet, which as a Martens hardness after curing which is larger than the Martens hardness of the first applied layer. The resulting panel has an intermediate layer with an inhomogeneous hardness profile due to the wet-on-wet application which leads to particularly advantageous properties.

Abstract

An apparatus for and a process of applying labels to boxes are disclosed. A box (1) is received in a labeling zone. A label carrier (30) is vertically moveable relative to the labeling zone to place the center portion of a label (5) onto the upper side of the box. Two presser elements (21, 21′) arranged on two mutually opposite lateral sides of the labeling zone are downwardly moveable both relative to the labeling zone and relative to the label carrier so as to fold and apply end portions of the label onto the lateral sides of the box.

Abstract

The invention relates to a dispersion for producing papers impregnated with resin that can be used for the production of abrasion-resistant (micro-scratch-resistant) surfaces, for example of laminate floors, furniture surfaces, or laminated materials (CPL, HPL). The invention further relates to a corresponding method for producing such surfaces and correspondingly produced products. The dispersion contains, for example, (in percent by weight) 30 to 75% water, 10 to 65% corundum particles having a particle size of F 400 to F 2000, and further auxiliary agents in a small amount. Said dispersion can be introduced into an amino resin mixture in order to impregnate paper.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a panel as well as a method for producing a panel, in particular a wall-ceiling-or floor panel. The method according to the invention provides that a layer of liquid radiation curing acrylate with a low Martens hardness is applied on a support layer in a first step. This is followed by an application of an intermediate layer in a second step and thereafter the application of a further layer wet-on-wet, which as a Martens hardness after curing which is larger than the Martens hardness of the first applied layer. The resulting panel has an intermediate layer with an inhomogeneous hardness profile due to the wet-on-wet application which leads to particularly advantageous properties.

Abstract

A device and method for elutriating and gluing wood chips. At least one elutriating apparatus is used to fractionate the wood chips into at least one coarse chip fraction and one fine chip fraction. The elutriating apparatus has a fall duct and is designed so that the chip fractions pass through different gluing regions in the fall duct. At least one gluing apparatus is provided in order to glue the chip fractions in the gluing regions. Thus, the chip fractions can be glued in a common apparatus specifically with a glue amount adapted to a particular average chip size.

Abstract

Disclosed is a laminate panel having a carrier layer made of wood or wood- based material. At least a top surface of the laminate panel has a décor and a layer made of cured resin, and a back surface of the laminate panel comprises a counteracting layer made of a cured counteracting material and wherein the counteracting layer does not have a paper layer. One kilogram of the cured counteracting material has of 300 to 700 gram of amino resin and 300 to 700 gram of filler. The amino resin is produced by mixing (i) melamine and/or an urea derivate and (ii) an aldehyde, wherein for producing the amino resin i mol of the melamine and/or the urea derivate is mixed with 0,5 to 3 mol of the aldehyde. According to an embodiment, the filler is a mineral filler.
