Abstract
In an arrangement for jointing together adjacent pieces of floor covering material, mutually facing edge portions of the pieces in a joint are profiled such that the one piece has a groove-shaped accommodation space in which a corresponding bead-shaped projection on the other piece may be accommodated. The one piece has a flocking which is disposed for holding together adjacent pieces. The profiling has, besides the accommodation space and the projection, mutually facing surfaces on both pieces, at least one of these surfaces being flocked. The flocking or flockings are located outside the defining surfaces of the accommodation space and the projection.
Claims10
A floor covering material, which comprises:
- adjacent pieces of floor covering material facing toward one another in a joint;
- upper and lower surfaces of each adjacent piece;
- and
- opposing edge portions of each adjacent piece between the upper and lower surfaces thereof profiled such that an edge portion of one piece has a groove-shaped space thereon and an opposed edge portion of the adjacent piece has a projection thereon facing and seated in the groove-shaped space, including mutually facing surfaces of the groove-shaped space and projection, wherein at least one of said mutually facing surfaces has a portion which extends beyond the groove-shaped space, wherein at least the portion which extends beyond the groove-shaped space includes flocking thereon, wherein said projection has an arched or rounded non-flocked edge with the arched or rounded non-flocked edge extending from the upper portion of said projection to the lower portion of said projection in a substantially continuous arched or rounded configuration for being able to readily be slid over the flocked portion of the at least one surface on said groove-shaped space.
A floor covering material, which comprises:
- adjacent pieces of floor covering material facing toward one another in a joint;
- upper and lower surfaces of each adjacent piece;
- and
- opposing edge portions of each adjacent piece between the upper and lower surfaces thereof profiled such that an edge portion of one piece has a groove-shaped space thereon and an opposed edge portion of the adjacent piece has a projection thereon facing and seated in the groove-shaped space, including mutually facing surfaces of the groove-shaped space and projection, wherein at least one of said mutually facing surfaces includes flocking thereon, wherein opposing edge portions of each piece include both a groove-shaped space and projection, with each projection seated in an adjacent groove-shaped space, and wherein the flocking is at least in part located outside of the groove-shaped space.
