Mechanical Locking System For Floor Panels

摘要

Floor panels (1, 1′) are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system that may be locked with a vertical displacement of a first panel against a second panel. The locking system includes a flexible strip (6) that during locking bends upwardly or downwardly. The locking system includes a first (7a) and a second (7b) joint edge section with different locking functions. One section provides a horizontal locking and another section provides a vertical locking.

1. A set of essentially identical floor panels provided with a mechanical locking system comprising a strip extending horizontally from a lower part of a first edge and a downwardly open locking groove formed in an adjacent second edge, wherein the strip comprises an upwardly protruding locking element configured to cooperate with the locking groove and to lock the first and the second edge in a horizontal direction parallel to a main plane of the first and the second panel and in a vertical direction perpendicularly to the horizontal direction, wherein the locking system is configured to be locked with a vertical displacement of the second edge against the first edge wherein an outer portion of the strip during an initial stage of the vertical displacement is configured to bend upwards towards the second panel and during a final stage of the vertical displacement is configured to bend downwards towards its initial unlocked position.
