Method for inserting spring into groove at side edge of floor covering, involves engaging free spring end by squeezing unit that is arranged laterally in conveying path and squeezed into groove

摘要

The method involves holding a spring in a tiltable holder (18), and moving the holder along a feed path (Z) with a movement component in a conveying direction (A) during movement of a rectangular panel (12). A free spring end is laterally pivoted away from the feed path during the movement of the panel. The free spring end is engaged with a squeezing unit that is arranged laterally in a conveying path and squeezed into a groove. An independent claim is also included for a device for inserting a spring into a groove at a side edge of a panel.
