Building panel with a mechanical locking system
Building panels provided with a mechanical locking system including a tongue, at an edge of a first panel, cooperating with a tongue groove, at an edge of an adjacent second panel, for vertical locking of the building panels. The edge of the first panel is provided with a displacement groove, which is downwardly open, and includes an inner wall, an outer wall, and an upper wall. The tongue is formed out of the edge of the first panel. A resilient and displaceable and part of the tongue is displaceable into the displacement groove.
1. Building panels provided with a mechanical locking system comprising a tongue, at an edge of a first panel, cooperating with a tongue groove, at an edge of an adjacent second panel, for vertical locking of the building panels wherein
the tongue comprises a resilient and displaceable tongue part,
the edge of the first panel is provided with a displacement groove to obtain the resilient and displaceable tongue part, said displacement groove is downwardly open, and comprises an inner wall, an outer wall and a planar upper wall,
the tongue is formed out of the edge of the first panel,
the resilient and displaceable tongue part is configured to be displaced into the displacement groove by a lower lip of the tongue groove during assembling of the first and the second panel by a vertical displacement of the second panel toward the first panel,
the outer wall of the displacement groove at a first and upper part of the displacement groove, at the upper surface of the tongue, is sidewardly open, such that, in a stress-free state before the resilient and displaceable tongue part is displaced into the displacement groove, the resilient and displaceable tongue part is entirely located vertically lower than the planar upper wall of the displacement groove, and
the outer wall of the displacement groove at a second part of the displacement groove, below the resilient and displaceable part of the tongue, is sidewardly open.
2. Building panels as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the upper wall is vertically positioned at an upper surface of the resilient and displaceable tongue part.
3. Building panels as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the upper wall is configured to guide the resilient and displaceable tongue part.
4. Building panels as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the upper wall is configured to cooperate with the upper surface of the resilient and displaceable tongue part for the vertical locking.
5. Building panels as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second part is configured to guide the resilient and displaceable tongue part during the assembling.
6. Building panels as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second part cooperates with the resilient and displaceable tongue part for the vertical locking.
7. Building panels as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tongue comprises fixed parts at the side of the resilient and displaceable tongue part.
8. Building panels as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the tongue groove comprises recesses, which correspond to the fixed parts of the tongue.
9. Building panels as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a contact surface of a lower lip of the tongue groove cooperates, for the vertical locking, with a lower surface of the resilient and displaceable tongue part.
10. Building panels as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the contact surface is arranged such that when the resilient and displaceable tongue part springs back, during the assembling of the building panels, the resilient and displaceable tongue part is prevented from reaching its original position.
11. Building panels as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tongue has several resilient and displaceable tongue parts and that the edge of the first panel is provided with several displacement grooves.
12. Building panels as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the edge of the first panel and the edge of the second panel are provided with upper overlapping surfaces.
13. Building panels as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the displacement groove is provided with an elastic material therein.
14. Building panels provided with a mechanical locking system comprising a tongue, at an edge of a first panel, cooperating with a tongue groove, at an edge of an adjacent second panel, for vertical locking of the building panels wherein
the tongue comprises a resilient and displaceable tongue part,
the edge of the first panel is provided with a displacement groove to obtain the resilient and displaceable tongue part, said displacement groove is downwardly open, and comprises an inner wall, an outer wall and a planar upper wall,
the tongue is formed out of the edge of the first panel,
the resilient and displaceable tongue part is configured to be displaced into the displacement groove by a lower lip of the tongue groove during assembling of the first and the second panel by a vertical displacement of the second panel toward the first panel,
the outer wall of the displacement groove at a first and upper part of the displacement groove, at the upper surface of the tongue, comprises a sidewardly-facing cut, such that, in a stress-free state before the resilient and displaceable tongue part is displaced into the displacement groove, the resilient and displaceable tongue part is entirely located vertically lower than the planar upper wall of the displacement groove, and
the outer wall of the displacement groove at a second part of the displacement groove, below the resilient and displaceable part of the tongue, is sidewardly open.
15. Building panels as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the upper wall is vertically positioned at an upper surface of the resilient and displaceable tongue part.
16. Building panels as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the upper wall is configured to guide the resilient and displaceable tongue part.
17. Building panels as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the upper wall is configured to cooperate with the upper surface of the resilient and displaceable tongue part for the vertical locking.
18. Building panels as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the second part is configured to guide the resilient and displaceable tongue part during the assembling.
19. Building panels as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the second part cooperates with the resilient and displaceable tongue part for the vertical locking.
20. Building panels as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the tongue comprises fixed parts at the side of the resilient and displaceable tongue part.
