Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0063510A1] Floor covering formed by panels constituted by boards of cellulose fibers of wood shavings bound with synthetic resins (MDF, HDF or faced chipboard). The corresponding longitudinal edges of two contiguous panels (10) are coupled by overlapping each other according to horizontal planes (13, 19; 31, 35) and engage each other by means of a double-hook engagement (14, 17; 33, 36) according to vertical planes, so as to form a loose joint that is capable of self-levelling and self-stabilizing under load conditions (F), with the edges being capable of longitudinally sliding with respect to each other. The solution enables supplementary materials, fittings and tools for assembling and disassembling the panels to be eliminated, thereby making it possible for the same panels to be reused.
