Abstract

The invention relates to a joint for two flat construction elements, especially floor panels. According to the invention, a feather and groove joint is configured functionally separately from a locking part. Said locking part is in the form of a lock pin of a construction element, said lock pin (30) being located at a distance from the feather and groove joint (16, 28) and engaging in a corresponding engaging element (24) of the other construction element. The inventive joint is preferably configured on both the longitudinal edges and the front edges of a rectangular construction element, for example a floor panel. The locking part enables the floor panels to be joined in a flat position, i.e. without tilting.

Verbindungconnection

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbindung für Bauelemente, insbesondere für Fußbodenpaneele gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a connection for components, in particular for floor panels, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Verbindung für Fußbodenpaneele ist beispielsweise in der EP 0 098 162 Bl offenbart. Bei der bekannten, sogenannten "leimlosen" Verbindung werden die aneinanderanliegenden Umfangskanten der Paneele mit einer Nut-/Federverbindung ausgeführt. Die untere, zur Auflage- fläche zugewandte Nutwange des einen Paneels ist dabei über die vertikale Trennebene hinaus verlängert und hat an seinem Endabschnitt einen VerriegelungsvorSprung, der in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung der Feder des anderen Fußbodenpaneels eintaucht. Um das Verlegen der Paneele zu erleichtern, ist die Verbindung im Eingriffsbereich der verlängerten Nutwange mit der Feder mit einem Spiel ausgeführt, so dass ein Verschieben der Paneele entlang der Längskanten möglich ist.Such a connection for floor panels is disclosed, for example, in EP 0 098 162 B1. In the known, so-called "glue-free" connection, the abutting peripheral edges of the panels are made with a tongue and groove connection. The lower groove cheek of the one panel facing the support surface is extended beyond the vertical parting plane and has at its end section a locking projection which plunges into a corresponding recess in the tongue of the other floor panel. In order to facilitate the laying of the panels, the connection in the area of engagement of the elongated groove cheek with the tongue is carried out with play, so that the panels can be moved along the longitudinal edges.

In der W097/47834 AI ist eine gattungsgemäße Verbindung gezeigt, bei der ähnlich wie bei der vorbeschriebenen Lösung, die untere Nutwange eines Fußbodenpaneels über die vertikale Trennebene hinaus verlängert und mit einem Vorsprung versehen ist, der in eine zugeordnete Klemmausnehmung der Feder eingreift. Im Unterschied zu der eingangs beschriebenen Lösung ist der Eingriff zwischen der verlängerten Nutwange und der zugeordneten Ausnehmung der Feder derart ausgeführt, dass durch diese Verriegelung eine Kraft aufgebracht wird, die die beiden Fußbodenpaneele senkrecht zur Vertikalebene gegeneinander drückt. Bei beiden vorbeschriebenen Lösungen übernimmt die Nut-/Federverbindung eine Doppelfunktion. Über die Nut- /Federverbindung wird zum einen die passgenaue Positionierung der beiden Bodenpaneele zueinander gewährleistet, so dass keine Spalten und Überstände auftreten und die erfordeliche Verlegequalität gewährleistet ist. Die zweite Funktion besteht darin, diese vorbestimmte Relativlage durch die kraft- oder formschlüssige Verriegelung zwischen verlängerter Nutwange und Feder auch bei Belastun- gen des Bodens oder Temperatur- und Feuchtigkeitsschwankungen sicherzustellen.In W097 / 47834 AI a generic connection is shown, in which, similarly to the solution described above, the lower groove cheek of a floor panel is extended beyond the vertical parting plane and is provided with a projection which engages in an associated clamping recess of the spring. In contrast to the solution described in the introduction, the engagement between the elongated groove cheek and the associated recess of the tongue is carried out in such a way that a force is applied by this locking which presses the two floor panels against one another perpendicular to the vertical plane. In both of the above-described solutions, the tongue and groove connection takes on a double function. On the one hand, the tongue and groove connection ensures that the two floor panels are positioned exactly in relation to one another, so that there are no gaps and protrusions and the required laying quality is guaranteed. The second function is to ensure this predetermined relative position by means of the non-positive or positive locking between the elongated groove cheek and tongue, even when the floor is subjected to stress or fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

Problematisch bei den bekannten Lösungen ist, dass die verlängerte Nutwange elastisch verformt werden uss, um den Eingriff zwischen den Verriegelungselementen herbeizuführen. Bei ungünstigen Bedingungen, beispielsweise bei übermäßiger Belastung der elastischen unteren Nutwange oder beim Aufquellen durch Feuchtigkeit und Tempera- tureinfluss kann es vorkommen, dass im Anbindungsbereich der unteren Nutwange an das dazugehörige Fußbodenpaneel Risse entstehen, so dass die Nutwange nicht mehr die vorbeschriebene Verriegelungsfunktion erfüllen kann. Dazu kommt, dass bei derartigen Rissbildungen im Anbindungsbe- riecht der Nutwange auch die Passung der Nut- /Federverbindung qualitativ verschlechtert wird, so dass die für eine vorschriftsmäßige Bodenverlegung erforderliche Genauigkeit nicht mehr gewährleistet ist.The problem with the known solutions is that the elongated groove cheek must be elastically deformed in order to bring about the engagement between the locking elements. Under unfavorable conditions, for example when the elastic lower groove cheek is subjected to excessive loads or when swelling due to moisture and temperature influences, cracks may occur in the area of the lower groove cheek connected to the associated floor panel, so that the groove cheek can no longer fulfill the locking function described above. In addition, in the case of such cracks in the connection area of the groove cheek, the fit of the tongue and groove connection also deteriorates in quality, so that the accuracy required for proper floor laying is no longer guaranteed.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrun- de, eine Verbindung für Bauelemente, insbesondere Fußbodenpaneele zu schaffen, bei der mit minimalem vorrichtungstechnischen Aufwand eine passgenaue Relativlage gewährleistet ist.In contrast, the invention is based on the object of creating a connection for components, in particular floor panels, in which a precise relative position is ensured with minimal expenditure on device technology.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Verbindung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Erfindungsgemäß werden die Passung und die Verriegelung von zwei getrennten Bauelementen übernommen. Die Passung erfolgt in herkömmlicher Weise über eine Nut- /Federverbindung, während die Verriegelung über einen Riegelzapfen erfolgt, der im Abstand zur Nut- /Federverbindung ausgebildet und somit funktional unabhängig von dieser ist. Der Riegelzapfen kann dabei an der federseitigen Stirnseite oder an der nutseitigen Stirn- seite eines Bodenpaneels ausgebildet sein.This object is achieved by a connection with the features of claim 1. According to the invention, the fit and the locking are taken over by two separate components. The fit takes place in a conventional manner via a tongue and groove connection, while locking takes place via a locking pin which is formed at a distance from the tongue and groove connection and is therefore functionally independent of the latter. The locking pin can be formed on the spring-side end face or on the nut-side end face of a floor panel.

Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Riegelzapfen im Abstand zur Feder ausgeführt und taucht in eine Ausnehmung an der unteren, auflageseitigen Nut- wange ein, die im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik nicht elastisch ist. Das heißt, bei einer bevorzugten Variante durchsetzen sowohl die Feder als auch der Riegelzapfen die vertikale Trennebene zwischen den Bauelementen in Horizontalrichtung und tauchen jeweils in entsprechende Ausnehmungen des gegenüberliegenden Bauelementes ein. Besonders vorteilhaft bei dieser Variante ist, dass der Materialabtrag gegenüber den eingangs beschriebenen Lösungen wesentlich geringer ist, so dass der Fräsvorgang zur Bearbeitung der Stirnflächen vereinfacht ist.In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the locking pin is at a distance from the tongue and is immersed in a recess on the lower, side-side groove cheek, which, in contrast to the prior art, is not elastic. In a preferred variant, this means that both the spring and the locking pin penetrate the vertical parting plane between the components in the horizontal direction and each dip into corresponding recesses in the opposite component. It is particularly advantageous in this variant that the material removal is considerably less than the solutions described at the outset, so that the milling process for machining the end faces is simplified.

Eine besonders zuverlässige Verriegelung bei einfacher Herstellbarkeit erhält man, wenn der Riegelzapfen mit einer Ausnehmung ausgeführt wird, in die ein Vorsprung an der Unterseite der unteren Nutwange eingreift. Der Anlagebereich zwischen Nutwange und Riegelzapfen wird dabei vorzugsweise als Schrägfläche ausgeführt, so dass auch bei verhältnismäßig großen Toleranzen das Aufbringen einer vorbestimmten, die beiden Bauelemente aufeinander zu beaufschlagenden Vorspannkraft gewährleistet ist. Beim flächigen Aneinanderlegen der Bauelemente werden vorzugsweise sowohl die Längskanten als auch die Seitenkanten der Bauelemente mit der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung ausgeführt.A particularly reliable locking with simple manufacturability is obtained if the locking pin is designed with a recess into which a projection engages on the underside of the lower groove cheek. The contact area between the groove cheek and the locking pin is preferably designed as an inclined surface, so that even with relatively large tolerances, the application of a predetermined pretensioning force to be applied to one another is ensured. When the components are placed flat against one another, both the longitudinal edges and the side edges of the components are preferably designed with the connection according to the invention.

Zusätzlich zur vorbeschriebenen Verriegelung können die Bauelemente auch verleimt werden.In addition to the locking described above, the components can also be glued.

Sonstige vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der weiteren Unteransprüche.Other advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the further subclaims.

Im folgenden wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand schematischer Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:A preferred embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of schematic drawings. Show it:

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Laminatfußbodens erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to a laminate floor.

Ein derartiger Laminatfußboden ist aus einer Vielzahl von Bodenelementen hergestellt, von denen in Fig. 1 lediglich der Verbindungsbereich zweier benachbarter Bodenpaneele 2, 4 dargestellt ist. Jedes Bodenpaneel 2, 4 ei- nes Laminatfußbodens hat eine Trägerplatte 6 - auch Kern genannt -, die aus hochverdichteten Holzfasern (HDF, MDF) besteht. Durch eine derartige Trägerplatte 6 ist eine gute Formstabilität und hohe Druckfestigkeit gewährleistet.Such a laminate floor is made from a plurality of floor elements, of which only the connection area of two adjacent floor panels 2, 4 is shown in FIG. 1. Each floor panel 2, 4 of a laminate floor has a carrier plate 6 - also called a core - which consists of high-density wood fibers (HDF, MDF). Such a support plate 6 ensures good dimensional stability and high compressive strength.

Die Auflagefläche jedes Bodenpaneels 2, 4 ist durch ein Gegenzuglaminat 8 gebildet, das auf die untere Groß- fläche jedes Fußbodenpaneels aufgebracht ist. Bei besonderen Anwendungen kann noch eine Feuc tigkeits-Isolierfo- lie (nicht gezeigt) eingebaut werden. Durch dieses Gegen- zuglaminat 8 wird die Formstabilität des Bodenbelags wei- ter erhöht. Wie in Figur 1 strichpunktiert angedeutet ist, kann an der Unterseite jedes Bodenpaneels 2, 4 eine Dämmschicht 11 zur Körperschallisolierung , angebracht sein. Die Dämmschicht kann aus herkömmlichen Dämmateria- lien, wie beispielsweise PU-Schaum etc. ausgebildet wer- den.The contact surface of each floor panel 2, 4 is formed by a counter-tension laminate 8, which extends to the lower large surface of each floor panel is applied. For special applications, a moisture insulation film (not shown) can also be installed. This counteracting laminate 8 further increases the dimensional stability of the floor covering. As indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 1, an insulation layer 11 for structure-borne noise insulation can be attached to the underside of each floor panel 2, 4. The insulation layer can be formed from conventional insulation materials such as PU foam etc.

Die Sichtfläche der Bodenpaneele 2, 4 ist durch ein Dekorlaminat 10 und eine darauf aufgebrachte Deckschicht 12 gebildet. Das Dekorlaminat 10 wird durch Drucken her- gestellt und verleiht dem Boden ein Aussehen, das der Struktur natürlicher Holzböden äusserst nahe kommt. Die Deckschicht 12 sorgt für die erforderliche Robustheit und Strapazierfähigkeit des Bodenbelags.The visible surface of the floor panels 2, 4 is formed by a decorative laminate 10 and a cover layer 12 applied thereon. The decorative laminate 10 is produced by printing and gives the floor an appearance that comes very close to the structure of natural wooden floors. The cover layer 12 ensures the required robustness and durability of the floor covering.

In der Fig. 1 dargestellten Stirnfläche 14 des Bodenpaneels 4 ist eine Rechtecknut 16 ausgebildet, die von einer oberen Nutwange 18 und einer unteren Nutwange 20 begrenzt ist.An end face 14 of the floor panel 4 shown in FIG. 1 has a rectangular groove 16 which is delimited by an upper groove cheek 18 and a lower groove cheek 20.

Der untere, von der Nut 16 entfernte Bereich der Nutwange 20 ist mit einer Ausnehmung 22 versehen, deren Tiefe T größer ist als die Tiefe t der Nut 16. Die verbleibende Wandstärke der Nutwange 20 ist so groß, dass deren elastische Verformung während des Zusammenfügens der Paneele praktisch vernachlässigbar ist. An der Unterseite der Nutwange 20 ist ein Vorsprung 24 ausgebildet, der sich in Richtung zur Auflagefläche des Bodenpaneels 4 erstreckt. Die Seitenflächen (senkrecht zur Zeichenebene) des Vorsprungs 24 sind durch Schrägflächen gebildet. Die Stirnfläche 26 des benachbarten Bodenpaneels 2 hat einen entsprechenden Aufbau. Demgemäß kragt aus der Stirnfläche 26 eine der Nut 16 entsprechende Feder 28 aus. Die durch die Nut 16 und die Feder 28 gebildete Nut- /Federverbindung entspricht der Verbindung herkömmlicher Laminatfußböden, die beispielsweise nur durch Leimen miteinander verbunden werden. Im Bereich der Auflagefläche des Bodenpaneels 2 ist ein Riegelzapfen 30 ausgebildet, der von der Feder 28 über eine Sirnausnehmung 32 getrennt ist. Das heisst, die Seitenwände der Stirnausnehmung 32 sind einerseits durch den Riegelzapfen 30 und andererseits durch die Feder 28 begrenzt. Die Tiefe S der Stirn- ausnehmung 32 ist größer als die Länge s des Zapfens - d.h., der Nutgrund ist gegenüber der Stirnfläche 26 nach innen versetzt. Durch Variation der Tiefe S läßt sich die Elastizität des Riegelzapfens 30 einstellen, so daß die Ausziehkräfte zum Demontieren des Bodens anpaßbar sind.The lower region of the groove cheek 20, which is remote from the groove 16, is provided with a recess 22, the depth T of which is greater than the depth t of the groove 16. The remaining wall thickness of the groove cheek 20 is so great that its elastic deformation during the assembly of the Panels is practically negligible. A projection 24 is formed on the underside of the groove cheek 20 and extends in the direction of the bearing surface of the floor panel 4. The side surfaces (perpendicular to the plane of the drawing) of the projection 24 are formed by inclined surfaces. The end face 26 of the adjacent floor panel 2 has a corresponding structure. Accordingly, a tongue 28 corresponding to the groove 16 protrudes from the end face 26. The tongue and groove connection formed by the groove 16 and the tongue 28 corresponds to the connection of conventional laminate floors, which are connected to one another, for example, only by gluing. In the area of the support surface of the floor panel 2, a locking pin 30 is formed, which is separated from the spring 28 via a sirnauscket 32. This means that the side walls of the front recess 32 are delimited on the one hand by the locking pin 30 and on the other hand by the spring 28. The depth S of the end recess 32 is greater than the length s of the pin - that is, the bottom of the groove is offset inwards relative to the end face 26. The elasticity of the locking pin 30 can be adjusted by varying the depth S, so that the pull-out forces can be adjusted for dismantling the base.

Die von der Stirnausnehmung 32 entfernte Großfläche des Riegelzapfens 30 erstreckt sich in Verlängerung der Auflagefläche des Bodenpaneels 2. An der der Stirnausnehmung 32 zugewandten Fläche des Riegelzapfens 30 ist eine Kerbe 34 ausgebildet, die - wie im folgenden noch näher beschrieben wird - in Eingriff mit dem Vorsprung 24 der Ausnehmung 22 bringbar ist und etwa unterhalb der Stirnfläche der Feder 28 ausgebildet ist.The large surface of the locking pin 30, which is distant from the front recess 32, extends in the extension of the support surface of the floor panel 2. A notch 34 is formed on the surface of the locking pin 30 facing the front recess 32, which - as will be described in more detail below - engages with the Projection 24 of the recess 22 can be brought and is formed approximately below the end face of the spring 28.

Die Stirnfläche des Riegelzapfens 30 ist mit einer Auflaufschräge 36 versehen, die das Zusammenfügen der Bo- denpaneele 2, 4 im Zusammenwirken mit der benachbarten Schrägfläche des Vorsprungs 24 erleichtert.The end face of the locking pin 30 is provided with a run-on bevel 36, which facilitates the joining of the floor panels 2, 4 in cooperation with the adjacent bevel surface of the projection 24.

Zum Zusammenfügen der Bodenpaneele 2, 4 läuft derTo join the floor panels 2, 4 runs

Vorsprung 24 auf die Auflauffläche 36 auf und die Feder 28 taucht in die Nut 16 ein. In dieser Relativposition taucht die untere Nutwange 20 ihrerseits in die Stirnausnehmung 32 ein.Projection 24 on the ramp surface 36 and the spring 28 dips into the groove 16. In this relative position the lower groove cheek 20 in turn dips into the end recess 32.

Bei weiterem Verschieben des Bodenpaneels 4 mit Bezug zum Bodenpaneel 2 wird der Riegelzapfen 30 aufgrund der über die schräge Auflauffläche 36 eingeleiteten Querkraft elastisch nach unten ausgelenkt (siehe strichpunktierte Darstellung in Fig. 2). Die Auflauffläche 36 gleitet am Vorsprung 24 entlang, bis letzterer in die Kerbe 32 ein- schnappt. In diesem Zustand hintergreift der Riegelzapfen 30 den Vorsprung 24, wobei die Anlage zwischen diesen beiden Bauelementen lediglich entlang der in Fig. 2 rechts ausgebildeten Schrägflächen erfolgt, während die links angeordneten Schrägflächen zueinander beabstandet sind.When the floor panel 4 is moved further with respect to the floor panel 2, the locking pin 30 is deflected elastically downward due to the transverse force introduced via the oblique ramp surface 36 (see dash-dotted representation in FIG. 2). The run-up surface 36 slides along the projection 24 until the latter snaps into the notch 32. In this state, the locking pin 30 engages behind the projection 24, the contact between these two components only taking place along the inclined surfaces formed on the right in FIG. 2, while the inclined surfaces arranged on the left are spaced apart from one another.

Die Position des Vorsprungs 24 und der Kerbe 32 ist derart gewählt, dass im verriegelten Zustand die beiden Stirnflächen 14, 26 flächig gegeneinander gepresst sind, so dass der Spalt im Stirnflächenbereich zwischen den beiden Bodenpaneelen 2, 4 minimal ist. Die Stirnfläche des Riegelzapfens 30 steht dabei im Abstand zur benachbarten Stirnfläche der Ausnehmung 22. Da die Tiefe S der Stirnausnehmung 32 größer als die Länge s der Feder 28 ist, steht auch der Boden der Stirnausnehmung 32 im Abstand zu der die Trennebene 38 (strichpunktiert in Fig. 2) vorgebenden Stirnfläche 14 des Bodenpaneels 4.The position of the projection 24 and the notch 32 is selected such that in the locked state the two end faces 14, 26 are pressed flat against one another, so that the gap in the end face region between the two floor panels 2, 4 is minimal. The end face of the locking pin 30 is at a distance from the adjacent end face of the recess 22. Since the depth S of the end recess 32 is greater than the length s of the spring 28, the bottom of the end recess 32 is also at a distance from the separating plane 38 (dash-dotted lines in FIG 2) defining end face 14 of the floor panel 4.

Die Ausrichtung der Bodenpaneele 2, 4 in Höhenrich- tung erfolgt alleine durch die Nut-/Federverbindung 28, 16, während die Verriegelung und Anpressung der Bodenpaneele 2, 4 alleine durch den Riegelzapfen 30 in Zusammenwirken mit dem Vorsprung 24 erfolgt und somit von der Elastizität des Riegelzapfens 30 abhängt. Diese lässt sich durch Variation der Tiefe S der Stirnausnehmung 32 (gestrichelt angedeutet in Fig. 1) verändern, so dass die elastische Auslenkung des Riegelzapfens 30 und die Verriegelungskraft in Abhängigkeit von der Materialwahl und der Einsatzbedingungen des Bodens auf einfache Weise anpassbar sind.The floor panels 2, 4 are aligned in the vertical direction solely by means of the tongue and groove connection 28, 16, while the locking and pressing of the floor panels 2, 4 takes place solely by the locking pin 30 in cooperation with the projection 24 and thus by the elasticity of the locking pin 30 depends. This can be changed by varying the depth S of the front recess 32 (indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 1), so that the elastic deflection of the locking pin 30 and the locking force depending on the choice of material and the conditions of use of the floor are easily adjustable.

Selbst wenn es bei ungünstigen Bedingungen, beispielsweise bei einer Überlastung des Riegelzapfens 30 zu einem Riss in dem mit Bezugszeichen 40 angedeuteten Bereich kommt, ist kein Höhenversatz zu befürchten, da die Passung zwischen Nut 16 und Feder 28 unbeeinträchtigt ist, während allenfalls die Verriegelungskräfte verringert werden.Even if there is a crack in the area indicated by reference numeral 40 under unfavorable conditions, for example when the locking pin 30 is overloaded, there is no fear of a height offset, since the fit between the groove 16 and the tongue 28 is unaffected, while at most the locking forces are reduced ,

Bei den herkömmlichen Lösungen wird aufgrund der Dop- pelfunktion der Nut-/Federverbindung bei einem Abbrechen der unteren Nutwange sowohl die Verriegelung als auch die Passung zwischen den Bodenpaneelen aufgehoben. Die Erfindung stellt somit eine erhebliche Verbesserung herkömmlicher leimloser Verbindungen dar, so daß auch bei höchsten Belastungen und auch bei Verlegefehlern eine passgenaue Verlegung des Bodens gewährleistet ist.In the conventional solutions, due to the double function of the tongue and groove connection, both the locking and the fit between the floor panels is canceled when the lower groove cheek is broken off. The invention thus represents a considerable improvement of conventional glue-free connections, so that a precisely fitting installation of the floor is ensured even under the highest loads and also with installation errors.

Das Verfahren zum Verlegen der erfindungsgemäß aufgebauten Fußbodenpaneele 2, 4 wird im folgenden anhand von Figur 3 erläutert. Es sei angenommen, daß auf einem strichpunktiert angedeuteten Boden 42 bereits ein oder mehrere Fußbodenpaneele 2 (4) verlegt sind, wobei in Figur 3 lediglich die die Feder 48 und den Riegelzapfen 30 tragende Längsseite der Paneele dargestellt ist. Das neu hinzuzufügende Fußbodenpaneel 4 wird ebenfalls flächig auf den Boden 42 aufgelegt und dann in X-Richtung (Pfeil in Figur 3) verschoben, bis die Schrägfläche 36 auf den Vorsprung 24 aufläuft. Anschließend wird ein Schlagklotz 44 aufgelegt, der einen etwa L-förmigen Querschnitt hat und der mit seinem längeren Schenkel auf der Oberseite des Fußbodenpaneels 4 aufliegt, während dieser kurze Schenkel die in Figur 3 rechte Stirnfläche des Fußbodenpaneels zumindest abschnittsweise umgreift, so daß diese kurze Schenkel an der Feder 28 anliegt.The method for laying the floor panels 2, 4 constructed according to the invention is explained below with reference to FIG. 3. It is assumed that one or more floor panels 2 (4) have already been laid on a floor 42 indicated by dash-dotted lines, only the longitudinal side of the panels carrying the spring 48 and the locking pin 30 being shown in FIG. The newly added floor panel 4 is also placed flat on the floor 42 and then moved in the X direction (arrow in FIG. 3) until the inclined surface 36 runs onto the projection 24. Subsequently, a tapping block 44 is placed, which has an approximately L-shaped cross section and which rests with its longer leg on the top of the floor panel 4 while it is short Leg at least partially encompasses the right-hand end face of the floor panel in FIG. 3, so that this short leg rests on the spring 28.

Durch leichte Schläge mit einem Hammer 46 auf den Schlagklotz 44 in Richtung des bereits verlegten Fußbodenpaneels 2 wird der Eingriff der Verriegelungselemente wie in Figur 2 dargestellt herbeigeführt.The locking elements are brought into engagement as shown in FIG. 2 by light blows with a hammer 46 on the tapping block 44 in the direction of the already installed floor panel 2.

Die Ausrichtung in Längsrichtung der Paneele erfolgt dann durch Aufsetzen des Schlagklotzes 44 auf die Schmalseite. Durch Schläge kann das Fußbodenelement 4 entlang der Längsseite der bereits verlegten Paneele verschoben werden, bis die Schmalseiten miteinander verriegelt sind.The alignment in the longitudinal direction of the panels is then carried out by placing the tapping block 44 on the narrow side. The floor element 4 can be moved along the long side of the already laid panels by knocks until the narrow sides are locked together.

Wesentlich ist, daß es das erfindungsgemäße Konzept zuläßt, daß sich die Fußbodenpaneele 2, 4 in Planlage, d.h. ohne Eindrehen miteinander verbinden lassen. Ein derartiges Eindrehen war bei dem eingangs beschriebenen Stand der Technik erforderlich. Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen läßt sich somit das Verlegen wesentlich vereinfachen, so daß die Verlegearbeit auch durch einen Laien durchführbar sind.It is essential that the concept according to the invention allows the floor panels 2, 4 to lie flat, i.e. can be connected without screwing in. Such screwing was necessary in the prior art described at the beginning. The measures according to the invention can thus considerably simplify the laying, so that the laying work can also be carried out by a layperson.

Um eine besonders zuverlässige Verbindung der Fußbodenpaneele 2, 4 zu ermöglichen, kann zusätzlich zu der dargestellten Verriegelung noch eine Verbindung durch Leimen erfolgen. Diese Leimung erfolgt vorzugsweise im Nut-/Federbereich .In order to enable a particularly reliable connection of the floor panels 2, 4, a connection can also be made by gluing in addition to the locking mechanism shown. This sizing is preferably carried out in the tongue and groove area.

Ein weiterer besonderer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion ist, daß der Riegelzapfen 30 bündig an der Unterseite der Fußbodenpaneele 2, 4 ausgebildet ist, so daß eine flächige Auflage gewährleistet ist. Da die Nut- /Federverbindung und die Verriegelung unabhängig voneinander ausgebildet sind, werden die beiden Fußbodenpaneele 2, 4 während des Verriegelungsvorganges bereits exakt durch die Nut-/Federverbindung geführt. Beim eingangs genannten Stand der Technik wird die untere Nutwange, die gleichzeitig das Verriegelungselement ausbildet während des Verriegelungsvorganges elastisch ausgelenkt, so daß die präzise, erfindungsgemäße Führung des Verriegelungsvorgangs nicht möglich ist.Another particular advantage of the construction according to the invention is that the locking pin 30 is flush with the underside of the floor panels 2, 4, so that a flat support is ensured. Since the tongue and groove connection and the lock are designed independently of each other, the two floor panels 2, 4 already guided exactly through the tongue and groove connection during the locking process. In the prior art mentioned at the outset, the lower groove cheek, which at the same time forms the locking element, is deflected elastically during the locking process, so that precise, inventive guidance of the locking process is not possible.

Da bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verriegelung kein Ein- schwenken erforderlich ist, bleibt es dem Verleger überlassen, ob er zunächst die Langseiten oder die Schmalseiten des Fußbodenpaneels miteinander verbindet. Bei Verriegelungen, die ein Einschwenken erfordern, mußten die benachbarten Fußbodenpaneele zunächst entlang der Schmal- Seiten miteinander verbunden werden und dann diese lange, aus mehreren Einzelfußbodenpaneelen bestehende Diele in die bereits verlegte Fußbodenpaneele eingeschwenkt werden. Dies ist wesentlich umständlicher, da das Ausrichten derart langer Dielen wesentlich schwieriger als das auf- einanderfolgende Verlegen von kurzen Fußbodenpaneelen ist.Since no pivoting is required in the locking according to the invention, it is up to the installer whether he first connects the long sides or the narrow sides of the floor panel. In the case of locks that require swiveling in, the adjacent floor panels first had to be connected to one another along the narrow sides and then this long plank consisting of several individual floor panels had to be swung into the already installed floor panels. This is much more cumbersome, since aligning such long planks is much more difficult than laying successively short floor panels.

Beim vorbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Riegelzapfen 30 am gleichen Bodenpaneel 2 wie die Feder 28 ausgebildet. In kinematischer Umkehr könnte man auch den Riegelzapfen 30 an dem mit der Nut 16 versehenen Bodenpaneel 4 ausbilden, wobei allerdings etwas mehr Materialabtrag erforderlich ist, um die Stirnfläche freizuschneiden.In the exemplary embodiment described above, the locking pin 30 is formed on the same floor panel 2 as the spring 28. In a kinematic reversal, the locking pin 30 could also be formed on the bottom panel 4 provided with the groove 16, although somewhat more material removal is required in order to cut the end face free.

Anstelle der Verriegelung über Schrägflächen könnten auch andere Geometrien, beispielsweise abgerundete Flächen, Vertikalflächen, etc. eingesetzt werden. Prinzipiell vorstellbar ist es auch, den Riegelzapfen 30 aus ei- nem anderen Material herzustellen und an dem Paneel zu befestigen. Offenbart ist eine Verbindung für zwei flächige Bauelemente, insbesondere Fußbodenpaneele, bei der eine Nut- /Federverbindung funktional getrennt von einer Verriege- lung ausgeführt ist. Diese Verriegelung erfolgt durch einen von der Nut-/Federverbindung beabstandeten Riegelzapfen eines Bauelementes, der in ein entsprechend ausgebildetes Eingriffselement des anderen Bauelementes eingreift. Die Verbindung ist vorzugsweise sowohl an den Längskanten als auch an den Stirnkanten eines rechteckförmigen Bauelementes, beispielsweise eines Bodenpaneels ausgebildet. Die Verriegelung erlaubt ein Zusammenfügen der Bodenpaneele in Planlage, d.h. ohne Einschwenken. Instead of locking via inclined surfaces, other geometries, for example rounded surfaces, vertical surfaces, etc., could also be used. In principle, it is also conceivable to produce the locking pin 30 from a different material and to fasten it to the panel. What is disclosed is a connection for two flat components, in particular floor panels, in which a tongue and groove connection is designed to be functionally separate from a locking device. This locking takes place by means of a locking pin of a component which is spaced apart from the tongue and groove connection and which engages in a correspondingly designed engagement element of the other component. The connection is preferably formed both on the longitudinal edges and on the end edges of a rectangular component, for example a floor panel. The locking allows the floor panels to be assembled in a flat position, ie without swiveling in.
