Method for inserting spring into longitudinal or head-sided groove in element plate of floor covering, involves releasing springs from transition belt and shifting springs into groove in element plates for locking plates with one another

摘要

The method involves providing springs (3) on a transition belt (6) by removably sticking springs on sections of the transition belt, where the transition belt is provided with the springs as a winding coil (2). The springs are detachably connected with the transition belt, where the transition belt exhibits a surface contour adapted to the geometry of the springs. The springs are released from the transition belt. The springs are shifted into a groove (4) in element plates (5) for locking the element plates with one another. An independent claim is also included for a spring inserting device comprising a drive unit.
