Abstract
A parquet floor element is disclosed which comprises a facing layer defined by edges forming a closed contour, a backing panel of indented peripheral shape, and means for fixing the facing layer to the backing panel, the latter being associated with the facing layer in such a manner that the said teeth partly project relative to the edges of the facing layer, the intervals between the teeth in part receding relative to the said edges with a regular sequence, along the whole of the contour of the facing layer, of teeth projecting relative to the said edges and intervals between the teeth receding relative to the said edges.
Claims4
A parquet floor element comprising:
- a planar upper facing layer with four edges forming a right angled parallelepipedic periphery,
- a firm backing lower layer with a non-rectilinear periphery,
- means fixing the facing layer to the backing layer, such that said non-rectilinear periphery is formed by a number of alternating identical outwardly projecting teeth means and inwardly directed recesses with respect to said parallelepipedic periphery, whereby any edge of said element can be joined with any edge or portion of an edge of another of said element, said non-rectilinear periphery crossing said parallelepipedic periphery at substantially a 45.degree. angle so as to allow a joining of any two successive edges of an element with the free perpendicular edges of two other such elements already laid down by a sliding motion parallel to the plane of said planar facing layer in a direction making substantially a 45.degree. angle with the edges of said already laid down elements, in order to obtain a continuous backing layer for the flooring.
