International ClassesE04B 100E04G 2100 AbstractA process is proposed for laying and mechanically jointing floorboards provided with tongue and groove engagements on all sides for horizontal attachment. The process involves a) jointing of a number of boards and making them engage on their transverse sides n order to lay a first row on the floor of a room, b) jointing of a first board for a second row and making it engage with one or two boards in the first row using the tongue and groove joint on the longitudinal side for the purpose of starting a second row, c) pushing the tongue (or groove) of a second board into the groove (or tongue) on the transverse side of the first board in the second row, with movement from the longitudinal side towards the boards in the first row, and d) making the second board engage with one or two boards in the first row.Field of SearchOverlapping or interfolding edges (e.g., shingling, etc.)Assembling exposed modules Tiling UNDERLYING COMPRESSIBLE LAYER OR PAD (E.G., FLOOR SYSTEMS) With spacing sleeper or subflooring Assembled with fastening device Key designed for four direction lock Rabbet on two perpendicular faces or edge and face (e.g., ship lap) for key Tiling ADHERED COPLANAR VENEER TILE-TYPE FACER; E.G., PARQUET Integral edge engaging spacing feature on tile Flock surface Nap type surface LAYER OR COMPONENT REMOVABLE TO EXPOSE ADHESIVE Of lamina to building or installed structure Setting or embedding tufts or discrete pile elements onto backing (e.g., rugs, brushes, etc.) With preliminary edge treatment or joining of edges of irregular shape; e.g., tongue and groove, beveled, etc. | |
