| abstract |
Flooring material including floor boards ( 1 ) with an essentially square, rectangular or rhomboidal shape. The floor boards ( 1 ) are provided with edges ( 2 ), a horizontal lower side ( 5 ) and a horizontal decorative upper surface ( 3 ). The floor boards ( 1 ) are provided with lower joining lips ( 10 ) at two adjacent edges ( 2 ) while the two remaining edges ( 2 ) are provided with upper joining lips ( 20 ). The lower joining lips ( 10 ) are provided essentially vertical lower lip surfaces ( 11 ) arranged parallel to the closest edge ( 2 ). The lower lip surfaces ( 11 ) are intended to interact with mainly vertical upper lip surfaces ( 21 ) arranged on the upper joining lips ( 20 ). Two joined adjacent floor boards ( 1 ) are hereby locked together in a horizontal direction. The joining lips ( 10 and 20 respectively) are furthermore provided with one or more heels ( 31 ) intended to snap join with recesses ( 32 ) adapted thereto which, by being provided with essentially horizontal locking surfaces, limits vertical movement between two joined adjacent floor boards ( 1 ). |
