Floor panel

Abstract

Described is a floor panel that is provided with a tread surface layer, a core containing at least two core layers made of a wood material and elements of a connector device, whereby these elements are arranged on at least two opposing sides. In order to equip such a floor panel with improved noise insulation in a simple and effective manner, it is proposed that the core layers be arranged so that they lie directly one on the other and that they be glued to each other.

1 . A floor panel with a surface layer, a core containing at least two core layers made of a wood material and connectors arranged on at least two opposing sides wherein the core layers are arranged so that they lie directly one on the other and are glued to each other. 
   
   
       2 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the connectors are arranged on one of the core layers. 
   
   
       3 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 2 , wherein the connectors are arranged on a core layer that is not provided with the surface layer. 
   
   
       4 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 3  wherein the panel comprises subpanels that are glued together, wherein one subpanel is provided with the surface layer and at least one subpanel is provided with the connectors. 
   
   
       5 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 4 , wherein the panel is comprised of a layer made of noise-insulating material. 
   
   
       6 . A floor panel in accordance with  claims 5 , wherein the connectors allow for mechanical interlocking of adjacent panels and are formed by bending away and/or snapping in place in a generally horizontal direction for producing an interlock both in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction. 
   
   
       7 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein the panel comprises two pairs of opposing sides, and connectors are provided on both pairs. 
   
   
       8 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein the core layers are connected at least in part by an adhesive that is more elastic than the wood material of the core layers. 
   
   
       9 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the connectors are arranged on a core layer that is not provided with the surface layer. 
   
   
       10 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises subpanels that are glued together, wherein one subpanel is provided with the surface layer and at least one subpanel is provided with the connectors. 
   
   
       11 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises a layer made of noise-insulating material. 
   
   
       12 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the connectors allow for mechanical interlocking of adjacent panels and are formed by means of bending away and/or snapping in place in a generally horizontal direction for producing an interlock both in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction. 
   
   
       13 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises two pairs of opposing sides, and connectors are provided on both pairs. 
   
   
       14 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the core layers are connected at least in part by an adhesive that is more elastic than the wood material of the core layers. 
   
   
       15 . A floor panel comprised of a surface layer, a core comprised of at least two layers, at least two of said core layers being made of a wood material, a connector on each of at least two opposing sides of said panel, adjacent ones of said core layers being glued to each other. 
   
   
       16 . A floor panel in accordance with  claim 15  wherein, the number of core layers made of wood is two, and the connectors are disposed on a core layer other than a core layer adjacent to the surface layer, said panel including at least one core layer made of noise-insulating material. 
   
   
       17 . A floor panel comprised of a surface layer, a core comprised of at least two layers, at least two of said core layers being made of a wood material, a connector on each of at least two opposing sides of said panel, adjacent ones of said core layers being glued to each other, the number of core layers made of wood is two, and the connectors are disposed on a core layer other than a core layer adjacent to the surface layer, said panel including at least one core layer made of noise-insulating material, and at least two of said core layers being connected at least in part by an adhesive that is both noise-insulating and more elastic than said wood material.
