Covering made from mechanically interconnectable panels

摘要

The invention relates to a covering comprising mechanically interconnectable panels having the following characteristics: —adjacent first and second panels (1, 2) each have a groove (12, 17) on their mutually complementary sides, —in one of the grooves (12) a tongue (16) is arranged which is displaceable relative to the panel (1) and which is configured to engage in the groove (17) of the adjacent panel (2) when connecting the adjacent panels (1, 2), —the panel (1) which holds the tongue (16) has a lower locking rail (3) which engages the adjacent panel (2) underneath which is configured to secure adjacent panels (1, 2) against tensile loading in the plane of installation, —the panel (2) engaged underneath by the locking rail (3) is supported on the locking rail (3) as well as on the support rail (11) which is arranged at a greater distance to the locking rail (3) than the groove (12), —the support rail (11) engages in the same groove (17) into which the tongue (16) is displaceable.

主权项

1. A covering, comprising:
first and second panels disposed adjacent to one another and having confronting sides which complement each other, each said side having a groove; and a tongue movably received in one of the grooves of one of the first and second panels for engagement in the groove of the other one of the first and second panels when the first and second panels are connected, wherein the one of the first and second panels has a support rail and a locking rail, said locking rail engaging underneath the other one of the first and second panels for protecting the first and second panels against a tensile force in a plane of installation, and wherein the other one of the first and second panels is supported on the locking rail in a direction perpendicular to the plane of installation and is supported on the support rail only in a direction different from the direction perpendicular to the plane of installation, said support rail being disposed at a greater distance to the locking rail than the one of the grooves of the first and second panels and engaging in the groove of the other one of the first and second panels.
