Abstract
The invention relates to mechanical connecting means, in particular for panels, which can be connected together in a positive fit in two spatial directions which are perpendicular to each other.
Claims15
Connecting means made in such a way that one said connecting means can be connected with the other connecting means in a positive fit in two directions that are perpendicular relative to each other, and wherein said one and other connecting means are formed by respective panel edges that have the same geometry, and each panel edge has a uniform cross-sectional portion bounded by top and bottom surfaces of the panels and a profiled cross-sectional portion extending from the uniform cross-sectional portion, each profiled portion having the same geometry but inverted with respect to one another.
Panels of rectangular shape having lateral connecting elements provided along lateral edges of the panels, which lateral connecting elements are configured to be connected with each other with a positive fit in two directions that are perpendicular relative to each other, and longitudinal connecting elements provided along longitudinal edges of the panels, which longitudinal connecting elements are configured to be connected with each other by a turning motion, and wherein said lateral connecting elements are formed by respective panel edges that have the same geometry, and each panel edge has a uniform cross-sectional portion bounded by top and bottom surfaces of the panels and a profiled cross-sectional portion extending from the uniform cross-sectional portion, each profiled portion having the same geometry but inverted with respect to one another.
A panel of rectangular shape having first and second lateral connecting elements provided along respective first and second lateral edges of the panel, which first and second lateral connecting elements are configured to be connected respectively with like second and first lateral connecting elements of adjacent panels with a positive fit in two directions that are perpendicular relative to each other, and first and second longitudinal connecting elements provided along respective first and second longitudinal edges of the panel, which first and second longitudinal connecting elements are configured to be connected respectively with like second and first longitudinal connecting elements of adjacent panels by a turning motion, and wherein said first and second lateral connecting elements are formed by respective panel edges that have the same geometry, and each panel edge has a uniform cross-sectional portion bounded by top and bottom surfaces of the panels and a profiled cross-sectional portion extending from the uniform cross-sectional portion, each profiled portion having the same geometry but inverted with respect to one another.
