COVERING PANEL WITH BEVELLED EDGES HAVING VARYING CROSS-SECTION, AND APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

The invention provides a panel (1) for use in an assembly of panels (1) attached to each other to form a covering. The panel (1) comprises an upper surface (2) and a lower surface (3) each extending within a different main plain, and at least an edge (4) between these surfaces comprising coupling means (5, 6) to couple the panel (1) to coupling means (5, 6) of another panel (1). The upper surface (2) includes a lowered part (7) at said edge (4) and the cross-section of the lowered part (7), perpendicular to the edge (4) of the panel (1), varies along the edge (4). Such a panel (1) provides a good imitation of a panel made of natural materials. The invention also provides an appropriate method as well as an apparatus to make such a panel (1). The invention provides a panel which presents a very good imitation of a panel made of natural materials.
