Method for the production of profiled floor elements from a timber material

Abstract

A method is described for the production of profiled floor elements from a timber material, comprising at least one covering flange protruding from a footing and having a rounded longitudinal edge, with the method proceeding on the basis of a pre-profiled floor element consisting of profiled floor elements connected along a longitudinal edge by means of a connecting land and the profiled floor elements being separated from each other by machining the connecting land on the profiled side opposing the visible side once a covering layer has been adhesively bonded to the pre-profiled floor element in the region of the visible sides of the subsequent profiled floor elements. In order to ensure advantageous production conditions, it is proposed that the strips of the covering layer corresponding to the individual profiled floor elements are adhesively bonded to the pre-profiled floor element, which forms a connecting land bridging the wedge-shaped recess between the rounded longitudinal edges on the side of the covering flange facing away from the visible side, and that the edge sections of the strips, which face each other and protrude into the wedge-shaped recess, are bent into the wedge-shaped recess between the rounded longitudinal edges of the covering flange and are adhesively bonded to the longitudinal edges before the connecting land is machined away on the underside of the covering flange.

1 : Method for the production of profiled floor elements ( 1 ) from a timber material, said elements having at least one covering flange ( 5 ) with a rounded longitudinal edge ( 6 ) and said flange projecting from a footing ( 4 ), with said method proceeding on the basis of a pre-profiled element ( 8 ) consisting of profiled floor elements ( 1 ) connected to each other along a longitudinal edge ( 6 ) by means of a connecting land ( 9 ), with said profiled floor elements ( 1 ) being separated from each other after a covering layer ( 7 ) is adhesively bonded to the pre-profiled element ( 8 ) in the area of the visible sides of the subsequent profiled floor elements ( 1 ) by machining the connecting land ( 9 ) on the side of the profiled element facing away from the visible side, wherein the strips ( 12 ) of the covering layer ( 7 ) corresponding to the individual profiled floor elements ( 1 ) are adhesively bonded to the pre-profiled floor element ( 8 ), which forms a connecting land ( 9 ) bridging the wedge-shaped recess ( 14 ) between the rounded longitudinal edges ( 6 ) on the side of the covering flange ( 5 ) facing away from the visible side, and the edge sections ( 13 ) of said strips, which face each other and protrude into the wedge-shaped recess ( 14 ), are bent into the wedge-shaped recess ( 14 ) between the rounded longitudinal edges ( 6 ) of the covering flange ( 5 ) and are adhesively bonded to the longitudinal edges ( 6 ) before the connecting land ( 9 ) is machined away on the underside of the covering flange ( 5 ). 
   
   
       2 : Method in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the strips ( 12 ) of the covering layer ( 7 ) are adhesively bonded onto the pre-profiled element ( 8 ) in the wedge-shaped recess ( 14 ) between the rounded longitudinal edges ( 6 ) of the edge sections ( 13 ) overlapping the covering flange ( 5 ) before the overlapping edge sections ( 13 ) are bent into the wedge-shaped recess ( 14 ) and pressed onto the longitudinal edges ( 6 ) of the covering flange ( 5 ). 
   
   
       3 : Method in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the connecting land ( 9 ) of the pre-profiled element ( 8 ) connects the spatially separated longitudinal edges ( 6 ) of the covering flange ( 5 ) and the covering layer ( 7 ) extends across and beyond the wedge-shaped recess ( 14 ) between the rounded longitudinal edges ( 6 ) of the covering flange ( 5 ) to be adhesively bonded to the pre-profiled element ( 8 ) before the covering layer ( 7 ) is severed in the wedge-shaped recess ( 14 ) to form strips ( 12 ) and is pressed against and adhesively bonded to the rounded longitudinal edges ( 6 ) in a stripwise manner. 
   
   
       4 : Method in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the pre-profiled element ( 8 ) provided with at least one guide groove ( 10 ) in the area of the connecting land ( 9 ) between the profiled floor elements ( 1 ) is promoted along the guide groove ( 10 ) during the course of machining work.
