Abstract

Multifunctional finishing profile for a floor covering, comprising a body which is composed of several parts (3, 6, 7a, 7b) made of a carrier material which are mutually separable, depending on the application, in which said parts (3, 6, 7a, 7b), in the coupled state, comprise at least a flange-shaped part (3), a fastening part (6) for the finishing profile and at least one nose part (7a, 7b) extending under the flange-shaped part (3), in which the flange-shaped part (3) and the nose part (7a,7b) are at least partly provided with a coating layer (2) and in which the finishing profile furthermore comprises one or more cutting lines (40a and 40b) to mutually separate the parts from each other by means of a cutting tool (67), in which the coating layer (2), at the location of the transition between the flange-shaped part (3) and the nose part (7a and 7b), is curved, in which, at the location of said curved transition (11a and 11b), a part of the carrier material (1) is replaced by a filler (36) having a different composition than the carrier material (1) and in which the coating layer (2), at the location of the transition (11a and 11b), is uninterrupted, and that said cutting lines (40a and 40b) extend through the filler (36).

Description

The present invention relates, on the one hand, to a profile which serves as a finish for a floor covering. More particularly, it relates to a profile which, with a few small modifications, can be used for different functions. On the other hand, the present invention relates to a method for forming such a profile.

Prior art

In order to finish a floor covering, such as laminate, LVT, vinyl, parquet or veneer floors, the person skilled in the art may use various profiles, such as for example a skirting board, a reducer profile, an end profile and a transition profile (= T profile). The present invention relates to a finishing profile which is multifunctional and combines the last three profiles into one single profile.
An end profile serves to finish the floor at a certain spot where the floor stops. This may be, for example, against a wall. A reducer profile is used to finish the transition from a floor covering situated at a higher level than another floor in an appealing way. The transition profile or T profile is used to be able to create a transition between two floors at the same level. This profile is also used to finish an expansion joint in an appealing way.
Often, these profiles are used in combination with a holder into which the three aforesaid profiles can be pushed and are fastened due to the tension or barbs. This holder may be made of plastic (PVC, PP, etc.), wood or metal, etc.
The three finishing profiles are usually made of wood, MDF, HDF, chipboard, multiply, plastic, (PVC, PP, etc.), aluminium, etc. and may optionally be provided with a coating layer having the necessary scratch resistance and texture.
The above-described profiles and the common holders have been known separately for a long time. Profiles also exist which combine these three profiles into one so-called multifunctional profile. The reason for this is to keep the changeover costs during production and the storage costs as low as possible. These so-called "3-in-1" or "multifunctional" profiles exist in various embodiments.
Multifunctional finishing profiles, such as this "3-in-1", are described, inter alia, in, inter alia, the following patent publications: AT 500 734 , US2003084634 , US7908819 , BE20050336 , US2007/0283654 and EP1989372 .
An embodiment which is already known is that the multifunctional profile is composed of two or more separate parts which can be combined with each other in one way or another. Document AT 500 734 describes a multifunctional profile in which a flange-shaped part is provided with a nose part situated underneath. This nose part situated underneath is completely separate from the flange-shaped part and is held in place by means of the associated holder during fitting. The holder is provided with a clamping piece onto which this nose part can be pushed. Depending on the use, a different nose part may be fitted.
Document EP1989372 describes a multifunctional profile which is made in one piece. In the composite form, the flange-shaped part and the nose part are integral with each other. At the transition between the flange-shaped part and the nose part, the coating layer is interrupted. As a result thereof, and partly due to the form of profiling, a certain breaking zone or cutting zone is created, as a result of which the nose part can readily be torn off by means of a rotating movement of the nose part with respect to the flange part.
Document US2003084634 discusses multifunctional profiles in which a nose part can be attached to the bottom side of a flange-shaped part. This attachment may be achieved by means of a coupling piece on the bottom side of the flange-shaped part, to which the nose part may be coupled and/or onto which the nose part may be pushed.
In other documents, such as BE20050336 and US 2007/0283654 , multifunctional profiles are described in which at least two of the mutually separable and/or assemblable parts (flange-shaped part and nose part), and preferably all separable or assemblable parts, in the non-separated state, or in the assembled state, are only connected to each other by means of a coating layer. Depending on the application, the coating layer between the flange-shaped part and the respective nose part will have to be cut, as a result of which the aforementioned nose part comes away from the flange-shaped part.
As will become clear from the following points 1 to 5, each of the known solutions has its own specific drawbacks.

1) Large value stock or coating layers

A first problem with such profiles is that coating layers which are sufficiently scratch-resistant have to be used. Usually, these coating layers consist of CPL, HPL, PVC, PP or paper which has been made sufficiently scratch-resistant by a special treatment.
Firstly, due to the special treatment, these films are very expensive. Secondly, the minimum order quantities of these films are high, as a result of which the purchase value is gigantic.
If such scratch-resistant coating layers have to be re-ordered for each decor separately and kept in stock, this is an almost unaffordable operation.

2) Colour or texture difference

A second problem of such scratch-resistant coating layers which are re-ordered is the fact that it is impossible to obtain the same colour or texture as that of the actual floor panel to which it belongs. The reason for this is that the techniques used to produce floor panel differ from the technique used to produce the scratch-resistant coating layer.

3) Durability and quality

These multifunctional profiles serve to finish a floor covering. After having been fitted, these profiles will be walked on and trodden on daily. As a result thereof, these profiles have to endure quite a lot. Therefore, it is very important that the profiles are at least as durable and scratch-resistant as the actual floor panel.
Discolouration also plays a very large role. On account ofUV light, colours can change or fade. It is important to keep the finish of the entirety appealing and that the discolouration of the floor and the finishing profile is the same.
The profile itself also has to be sufficiently strong to be able to withstand such loads. If the mutual connection between the parts is too weak, there is a significant risk that these parts will break off at a well-defined load. However, if it is made too strong, it will be difficult to remove these parts in order to modify the multifunctional profile to form a T, end or a reducer profile.

4) Ease and speed of fitting

As has been indicated above, it has to be possible to modify such a multifunctional profile to form, inter alia, a T, end or a reducer profile. This may be achieved, for example, by breaking off the separable parts by means of a rotation or mutual displacement of the parts with respect to each other. On the other hand, it is also possible to cut off these parts by means of a cutting tool provided especially for this purpose.
However, in both cases, it is important that transformation can be performed easily and quickly. When cutting, the material to be cut should not be such that it offers a lot of resistance during cutting, otherwise removal will not be possible for everyone. In addition, cutting of the coating layer should not result in small pieces, since this will have an adverse effect on the finish.

5) Speed and cost of manufacture

In addition to the significant stock advantage which multifunctional profiles offer compared to the traditional end, transition and reducer profiles, one significant drawback is the fact that the production costs are usually considerably higher. The reason for this is that these profiles are produced using several production stages, whereas traditional profiles require fewer production stages. Thus, with many types of multifunctional profile, the flange-shaped part and the associated nose part are produced in separate production stages, as a result of which these profiles become significantly more expensive.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a multifunctional profile which offers a solution for the above-described problems and which can easily and quickly be modified to form an end, transition or reducer profile, in which the gigantic stock of scratch-resistant coating layers is limited to a minimum. In addition, the quality and properties have to be identical as much as possible to those of the respective floor panels.
The object of the invention can be achieved by a multifunctional profile as described in the first claim. By manufacturing such a multifunctional finishing profile from the actual floor panel to which it will belong, no special scratch-resistant coating layers have to be re-ordered and the properties regarding scratch resistance, UV resistance, colour and texture will be identical to those of the actual floor panel.
The filler is preferably an adhesive. The adhesive is preferably tougher than the carrier material. More particularly, the filler can be cut more easily than the carrier material.
Preferred embodiments of the multifunctional finishing profile are described in the dependent claims.
Another subject of the present invention relates to a method for forming a multifunctional finishing profile, with the method comprising the following steps:

supplying a panel-shaped element comprising a carrier material on which a decorative top layer is provided;
provide one or more recesses on the rear side of the panel-shaped element in the longitudinal direction in the carrier material, so that a residual part is formed, comprising a residual layer of carrier material with a decorative top layer;
provide the aforesaid recess with filler and/or adhesive, so that at least the residual part is covered with the filler and/or adhesive;
bending the residual part to the desired radius or shape;
allowing the filler and/or adhesive to cure.

In the following detailed description of the method according to the present invention and the resulting finishing profiles, the aforesaid features and advantages of the invention are explained further. It will be clear that the sole aim of this description is to explain the general principles of the present invention by means of a concrete example, and therefore nothing in this description may be interpreted as a limitation of the scope of the patent rights defined in the claims nor of the area of application of the present invention.
In the following description, reference numerals are used to refer to the attached figures, in which:

Fig. 11e : The profile is treated further until the final shape is achieved.
Fig. 12 : Finishing profile according to the invention in the fitted state. The profile is fastened to the ground by means of a PVC U profile. Because this profile is being walked on, it is very important that this profile is sufficiently strong. As a result thereof, additional support by a supporting block (80) is indicated in many cases.

1) Large value of coating layer stock

If this multifunctional profile can be made successfully from the floor plate itself, all drawbacks which are associated with these scratch-resistant coating layers become completely obsolete. It is no longer necessary to re-order film, as a result of which no large amounts of scratch-resistant coating layers will have to be bought.
Any worthless residual stock is thus also prevented.

2) Colour or texture difference

If the multifunctional profile can be made from the floor panel or floor slab itself, both the colour and the texture will be identical to those of the actual floor plate. In this way, this problem is also solved.

3) Durability and quality

As has already been indicated, these profiles will be subjected to a great load.
Now, since this profile will be made from the floor panel itself, the scratch resistance will be identical to that of the respective floor panel. This problem is thus solved. However, these profiles also have to be sufficiently strong. In other words, the connection between the various parts with each other has to be such that they do not break off under load. On the other hand, these parts also have to be separated easily. The technique which will be used to manufacture these multifunctional profiles is a folding technique. In this case, carrier material is removed over a certain distance and the residual layer of carrier material is bent, together with the coating layer, at high temperature to the desired shape or radius. In order to fill the emptiness under the residual layer of carrier material and the coating layer, this will be designed by means of providing a filler (adhesive).
If it is desired that the profile, or rather, the connection between the various parts is sufficiently strong, the adhesive will also have to be sufficiently strong.
In addition, the aim of this filler is to support the very thin residual layer consisting of carrier material and coating layer. As a result thereof, the residual layer will become resistant to shocks and forces.

4) Ease and speed of fitting

It has to be possible to remove the parts quickly and easily. Floor panels are often panels which are very strong and difficult to break or cut. In particular with DPL floor panels (DPL - Direct Pressed Laminate), it is virtually impossible to cut through this strong HDF layer.
As has been indicated above, a filler (adhesive) will be used to fill the emptiness under the residual layer of carrier material and coating layer. In the first place, this filler will have to be strong, but this filler may also be interesting if it can readily be cut up by means of a special knife. Thus, the line or the zone along which cutting has to be carried out in order to remove the various parts may be positioned such that it runs largely through the filler. As a result thereof, it is not necessary to cut through the strong carrier material of the floor plate, but to cut largely through the filler which is easier to cut to pieces. As a result thereof, we kill two birds with one stone.
Fitting to the floor is often performed by means of an associated holder into which this profile can slide or be click-fitted.

5) Speed and cost of production

In addition to the significant stock advantage of multifunctional profiles compared to the traditional end, transition and reducer profiles, there is one considerable drawback, i.e. that the production cost is usually significantly higher. The reason for this is that these profiles often have to be made in several production stages, while the traditional profiles are made in fewer production stages. Thus, with many types of multifunctional profiles, the flange-shaped part and the associated nose part are produced in separate production stages, making these profiles markedly more expensive.
However, our technique is completely different. We do not start from profiled profiles, but from floor plates which will be deformed by means of a folding technique. As a result thereof, the number of stages will be greatly reduced, thus also significantly reducing the cost price.
We also dispense with the expensive coating layers, like CPL, HPL or scratch-resistant paper.

The production will comprise the following steps:

supplying a panel-shaped element comprising a carrier material on which a decorative top layer is provided;
providing one or more recesses on the rear side of the panel-shaped element in the longitudinal direction in the carrier material, so that a residual part is formed, comprising a residual layer of carrier material with a decorative top layer;
providing the aforesaid recess with filler (36) and/or adhesive, so that at least the residual part is covered with the filler and/or adhesive;
bending the residual part to the desired radius or shape;
allowing the filler and/or adhesive to cure;
optionally further profiling.

Description of figures:

Fig 1 : Multifunctional finishing profile for a floor covering, comprising a body which is composed of several parts (3, 6, 7a, 7b) made of a carrier material which are mutually separable, depending on the application, in which said parts (3, 6, 7a, 7b), in the coupled state, comprise at least a flange-shaped part (3), a fastening part (6) for the finishing profile and at least one nose part (7a, 7b) extending under the flange-shaped part (3), in which the flange-shaped part (3) and the nose part (7a,7b) are at least partly provided with a coating layer (decorative top layer) (2) and in which the finishing profile furthermore comprises one or more cutting lines (40a and 40b) to mutually separate the parts from each other by means of a cutting tool (67), in which the coating layer (2), at the location of the transition between the flange-shaped part (3) and the nose part (7a and 7b), is curved, in which, at the location of said curved transition (11a and 11b), a part of the carrier material (1) is replaced by a filler (36) having a different composition than the carrier material (1) and that the coating layer (2), at the location of the transition (11a and 11b), is uninterrupted, and that said cutting lines (40a and 40b) extend through the filler (36).
Fig. 2a : Shows a profile section according to the invention. The figure shows the cutting line (40a) and it can be seen that this cutting line (40a) runs through the filler (36), through the coating layer (2) and through a residual thin layer of carrier material (1) which is situated between the coating layer (2) and the filler (36).
Fig. 2b : Shows a profile section according to the invention in perspective. The coating layer (2) is not interrupted at the location of the cutting line (40a, 40b).
Fig. 3a : Shows a profile section according to the invention. The figure shows the cutting line (40a) and it can be seen that this cutting line (40a, 40b) only runs through the filler (36). An interruption is provided in the coating layer (2) and the small piece of carrier material which is situated between the coating layer (2) and filler (36). As a result thereof, the coating layer (2) and the filler (36) no longer have to be interrupted, thus eliminating the risk of small pieces or cracks in the coating layer (2) during cutting. This interruption (66a) does not have to continue up to and including the residual layer of carrier material (1). Optionally, the interruption of the coating layer (2) already suffices.
Fig. 3b : A multifunctional finishing profile according to the invention in perspective. The coating layer (2) is not interrupted at the location of the cutting line (40a, 40b).
Fig. 4 : A multifunctional finishing profile according to the invention. By cutting off nose part (7a) along the cutting line (40a), the multifunctional profile is transformed to a reducer profile.
Fig. 5 : A multifunctional finishing profile according to the invention. By cutting off nose part (7b) along the cutting line (40b), the multifunctional profile is transformed to an end profile.
Fig. 6 : A multifunctional finishing profile according to the invention. By cutting off nose parts (7a) and (7b) along the cutting lines (40a) and (40b), the multifunctional profile is transformed to a T profile.
Fig. 7 : A multifunctional finishing profile according to the invention. By cutting off nose parts (7a) and (7b) along the cutting lines (40a) and (40b), the multifunctional profile is transformed to a T profile. This T profile is fitted to the floor by means of a PVC U profile. Since the cutting lines (40a and 40b) run through the filler (36), they are on the floor in the fitted state. If a filler (36) is used which is waterproof, this forms an additional protection against moisture.
Fig. 8a : Cutting tool (67) which was specially developed for cutting off nose parts (7a,7b). For this purpose, an incision is made along the cutting line (40a).
Fig. 8b : A multifunctional finishing profile according to the invention, in which nose part (7a) is removed by means of the cutting tool. As a result thereof, an incision is made along the cutting line (40a). As the incision runs mainly through the tough adhesive (36) instead of through the hard carrier material (1), cutting is made easier.
Fig. 9a : A multifunctional finishing profile according to the invention, in which nose part (7a) is removed. As a result thereof, an incision is made along the cutting line (40a).
Fig. 9b : A multifunctional finishing profile according to the invention, in which nose part (7b) is removed. As a result thereof, an incision is made along the cutting line (40b).
Fig. 10a : A multifunctional finishing profile according to the invention, in which the cutting lines (40a and 40b) coincide with the transition (51 a and 51 b) of the filler (36) and the nose part (7a and 7b). Due to the use of very hard, but also brittle glues, it is not always easy to cut these. However, by rotating the nose part (7a and 7b), they can be broken off more easily than cutting. Because the transition (51a and 51b) from the filler (36) to the nose part (7a and 7b) is less long than the transition (50a and 50b) from the filler (36) to the flange-shaped part (2), the break will occur in the transition (51a and 51b). Depending on the coating layer (2), it may be better to interrupt this at the location of folding line (40a and 40b). This prevents the coating layer (2) from being torn off incorrectly or less satisfactorily.
Fig. 10b : A multifunctional finishing profile according to the invention, in which the cutting lines (40a and 40b) coincide with the transition (51a and 51 b) of the filler (36) and the nose part (7a and 7b). Due to the use of very hard, but also brittle glues, it is not always easy to cut these. However, by rotating the nose part (7a and 7b), they can be broken off more easily than cutting. Because the transition (51a and 51b) from the filler (36) to the nose part (7a and 7b) is less long than the transition (50a and 50b) from the filler (36) to the flange-shaped part (2), the break will occur in the transition (51a and 51b). Depending on the coating layer (2), it may be better to interrupt this at the location of folding line (40a and 40b). This prevents the coating layer (2) from being torn off incorrectly.
Fig. 11a : Floor panel having a structure as described in figures 1 to 2 with the decorative top layer (2) facing downwards.
Fig. 11b : Recesses (16) having a width B are provided on the rear side of the panel. Across this width B, a residual layer (11a and 11b) is formed which is composed of the decorative film (6), the scratch-resistant top layer (7) and a very thin layer of carrier material (1). The total thickness of the residual layer (11a and 11b) is D. This thickness is dependent on the decorative top layer (2). With DPL, a thickness D of between 0.25 and 0.4 mm is workable in many cases. The sides of the recesses (16) may be rounded or angular. It is also possible for the thickness D of the residual layer (11a and 11b) not to be constant across the entire width (B).
Fig. 11c : The residual layers (11a and 11b) are heated by means of a heat source (20). This heat source may consist of lamps, air blowers, etc. As a result thereof, the residual layers (11a and 11b) are more flexible and less brittle. Glue or adhesive (36) is sprayed into the recesses (16). In addition, the residual parts (11a and 11b) are also heated (20). This glue may be a hot-melt adhesive, a PUR glue or a polyolefin glue, depending on the desired properties of the skirting board or profile. The amount of adhesive (36) which is sprayed into the recess (16) depends on the volume (V) which is created in glue chamber (L) after bending of the residual layer (11a and 11b).
Fig. 11d : The residual layers (11a and 11b) are bent to a certain radius (R). As a result thereof, a glue chamber (L) having a volume (V) is created. Since the residual layer (11a and 11b) is often very fragile, it is very important that the residual layer (11a and 11b) is completely supported by the adhesive or filler (36) which fills the glue chamber (L).
Fig. 11e : Treating the profile further until the final shape is produced.
Fig. 12 : Finishing profile according to the invention in the fitted state. The profile is anchored to the ground by means of a plastic, for example a PVC, U profile. Since this profile is being walked upon, it is very important that this profile is sufficiently strong. As a result thereof, additional support by a supporting block (80) is indicated in many cases.
