Subject of the Invention and Technical Field

The invention relates to the construction of wooden tile flooring also known as “deck”. In particular, the invention relates to an improvement in the lock system of wooden tile flooring. The special lock system in the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention ensures that there are no gaps in the lock panel and lock slot panels during assembly, thus enabling a more rigid assembly.

State of the Art

Today, the outdoor wooden floor coverings are applied to the gardens of houses or villas on the concrete with a carcass or by removing contact with the soil without laying concrete. These wooden floor coverings are translated into English as "deck". Deck is a type of floor covering used outdoors. Wooden covering is generally preferred indoors. Tile deck application has been developed for the use of wooden coatings outdoors. The wooden deck is cut into squares. For this reason, the application is called tile deck. It can be used indoors and outdoors. There are different usage areas such as villas, chalets, hotels, cafes, restaurants, summer houses, balconies, terraces, gardens or poolside.

Tile deck is an application with different features. The product can be produced in different sizes. The product which is produced in the form of a square is usually produced as 30 cm x 30 cm, 40 cm x 40 cm, 50 cm x 50 cm. This product, called wooden parquet, is prepared by using certain trees. The trees used in the production of the deck are generally Far Eastern tropical trees and some native trees. Teak, Iroko, Larex and Pine trees are among the trees used in production. These products can be easily applied to the floor, can be removed, can be cleaned from below and reapplied. Tile deck is produced and assembled with plastic interlocking at the bottom or wooden carcass. The wooden carcass with clips used underside and with various lock systems is constructed by being mounted via apparatus such as screws, fixing plugs and pins. In the state of the art, monolithic solid wooden and composite panel are used on the upper layer of tile decks. On the lower carcass of the tile deck, there are different lock systems made of various plastics, in different designs. Composite and wooden materials are used on the lower carcass of said tile deck. In the state of the art, there are various patent- utility model applications on wooden tile decks. Some of them are as follows:

The U.S. Patent No. US2009266022A1 describes a locked deck construction which can be easily assembled and disassembled and by which various shapes and patterns can be created without additional fasteners.

In the European patent No. EP1880067B1, it is described that the floorings with locking openings tend to loosen when exposed to a large amount of liquid, and the fluid acts as lubrication between the panels in an undesirable way, and it is aimed to develop a structure for purpose.

The Korean patent No. KR100814075B1 is about a wooden floor covering which can be easily assembled and disassembled and can be easily applied to the floor. In said document, it is described that nails and similar fasteners are used to fix such floorings under normal conditions, and that the strength of the material is reduced due to moisture damage in precipitation situations.

It is stated in the European patent No. EP1808546A1 that wooden systems are sensitive to moisture and problems may be experienced during the transportation and laying of such panels. It has been mentioned that the fastening system between the panels does not provide the desired performance in terms of the strength or easy removal in case of re-use of the panels, and a structure has been developed for this purpose.

According to this information, in the state of the art, undesired separation of carcass panels and failure to ensure floor integrity may occur during the use of plastic carcasses. When the floor is exposed to water, the water due to the contact between the frame and the floor cannot be evacuated as desired. In addition, it is seen that when the carcass is laid on the floor on which the flooring is laid, a balanced contact cannot be established and balance adjustment is required. The balance inconsistency between the floor on which the flooring is laid and the carcass causes permanent deformation in the deck panel and the carcass structure. It is seen that there is a need for innovative structures which will meet these technical requirements where the developments made against these technical problems and the patent-utility model studies are not fully sufficient.

Technical Problems to Be Solved by the Invention

The aim of the invention is to develop a structure which can solve the technical problems on wooden tile floorings mentioned above such as the undesired separation of the carcass panels, the inability to drain the water as desired during the water flow, the inconsistency of the balance between the floor and the carcass and the deformation in the carcass structure.

An advantage of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is that plywood can be used instead of solid wooden on the upper layer if desired. Plywood sheet is much more durable when compared to panels made of monolithic timber. This is proven by the tests performed according to the standard. Because the combination of the expansion power of each thin layer is much higher than the expansion power of a single thick layer. Plywood is a panel of wooden layers. It has very good mechanical strength in tests carried out according to the norms. Successive layers are glued perpendicular to each other. This type of production creates a structure which increases resistance and resists shock effects which will occur with vibration. Marine grade is provided with the special glue used in bonding. With the effect of the glue used and the tree design, it is made resistant to water intake and swelling. Thus, the deformation time is prolonged.

Another advantage of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is that it does not cause environmental pollution. Plywood sheet can be decomposed in nature like monolithic solid wood. It does not cause environmental pollution after the usage period.

Another advantage of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is that there is no gap in the lock panel and lock slot panels when the lock system is mounted to each other. Thus, it allows a more rigid assembly. Another advantage of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is that the assembly and disassembly of the carcasses is simple and practical within the design of the lock system. Since the carcass frame structure has a high modulus of elasticity by design, the plywood board pieces assembled to the carcass have a high resistance to bending. The said carcass frame structure design allows easy water flow and cleaning between the plywood board pieces mounted on the carcass. The floor feet and pin floor feet distribute equally the load to be applied to the frame structure, and are designed and placed so as to protect the overall carcass against deformation. The number and area of the contact points between the carcass and the floor have been increased to facilitate the water flow. Increasing the contact point and area prevents the carcass from sliding on the floor surface and prevents the panel from being lifted off the floor. Although the carcass material is light in terms of its structure, it has high resistance to bending and breaking.

The contact of the carcass with the floor takes place with the carcass floor feet. Said carcass floor feet are positioned on the carrier carcass so as to distribute the load equally. This allows the carcass to be rigidly attached to the floor and constitutes a different advantage of the wooden tile floor construction of the invention.

An advantage of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is that the pins through which the wooden panel to be assembled to the carcass will pass are of diameters that allow easy assembly of the wood. In the construction of the invention, the pin neck can have a low diameter, so that the mounting holes of the wooden panel and the pin of the carcass can be easily assembled.

Another advantage of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is that the wooden panels fully fit on the carrier carcass due to the floor support plates on the carrier carcass. This ensures that the assembly integrity between the carcass and the wooden panel is maintained against the force that can be applied to the wooden panel. The wooden panel and the carrier carcass are prevented from being disassembled unintentionally.

Another advantage of the construction of the invention is that there is no carcass floor foot along the consoles forming the carcass and the material forming the frame content. This makes the carcass light and eliminates the unnecessary material costs. In addition, the dimensions of the carcass floor feet are such that the load to be applied to the carcass will be equally distributed and that the carcass will not bend against the load. The carcass floor feet extend in the same direction with respect to the frame structure of the consoles forming the carcass, allowing water to flow under the carcass on the wet floors. Due to the large number of carcass floor feet and their positions, the wooden tile flooring will not be affected by the fractures, cracks, and collapses that may occur on the floor on which it is assembled, and the integrity of the surface coating will be preserved.

An advantage of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is that it allows water to flow freely under the tiles by leaving a gap between the uneven surface. The open structure of the carrier carcass also provides air circulation and facilitates the drying of the wet floor.

Another advantage of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is that the carcass lock system allows easy assembly by design. As a result, a desired carcass among many interconnected carcasses can be disassembled.

The wooden tile flooring construction of the invention also provides an advantage with the pins on the carcass. Said pins eliminate the need for materials such as nails, screws, bolts and rivets in the assembly of the wooden panel to be assembled to the carcass due to their forms and guide teeth. The guide teeth on the pin act as these connection elements.

In order to better understand the construction of the invention, the following figures will be used.

With the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the object is to create a construction which provides a high mechanical strength using plywood instead of solid wood on the top layer and also allows no gaps in the lock panel and lock slot panels when the lock system is assembled to each other due to the special lock system developed for the plastic lower carcass and thus allows a more rigid assembly. The wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is an improvement on the products called “tile deck” in the market. The special pattern and the locking mechanism on the lower carcass constitute the original side of the construction of the invention.

In Fig. 1, the perspective view of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is shown. Fig. 2 to Fig. 5 show various images of the wooden panels (1) used in the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention. The views of Fig. 6 to Fig. 13 show, from different angles, the carrier carcass (2) on which said wooden panels (1) are assembled. The most important feature of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is the assembly form of the wooden tile floorings to each other and the locking mechanism during laying on the floor. In order to understand this locking mechanism easily, various views are given in Fig. 14 to Fig. 22.

In a construction comprising at least one wooden panel (1) and at least one carrier carcass (2) which comprises the floor support plate (6), grating (11), and pin (3) and on which said wooden panel (1) is positioned, the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention comprises basically

- at least one lock panel (4), on which the lock system (7) is positioned, on at least one of the sides of said carrier carcass (2), and

- at least one lock slot panel (5) on which the lock slot (8) is positioned, on at least one of the sides of said carrier carcass (2), and

- the lock system (7) positioned on said lock panel (4) comprises at least two lock tabs (7a) and at least one lock gap (7b) located between said lock tabs (7a), and - said lock slot panel (5) comprises at least one lock slot (8) in which the lock system (7) will be housed in the lock tabs (7a).

In the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the wooden panel (1) can be made of solid wood, composite or different materials in the state of the art. However, in the preferred construction, the wooden panels (1) are made of plywood. The reason for this is that when the wooden panels (1) made of marine plywood are compared to the monolithic solid impregnated wooden panels, the superior advantages for outdoor environments are provided in the plywood. When the plywood panels are created, marine grade is provided with the special glue used in bonding, thus, with the effect of the glue and the design of the wood, the material is made resistant to water intake and swelling. The special glue is the phenol formaldehyde glue. However, if desired, the different glues in the state of the art can also be used. The different WBP adhesives can be selected to meet the requirements of the outdoor conditions. The plywood coated with WBP adhesive can be used outdoors for a long time with its weather-proof feature, waterproof feature, moisture-proof feature.

Marine grade is provided with the special glue used in bonding. With the effect of the glue used and the tree design, it is made resistant to water intake and swelling. Compared to the monolithic solid impregnated wooden panel, the wood-based panel made of marine plywood offers the superior advantages in outdoor use.

The carrier carcass (2) is made of materials used in the state of the art and is plastic in the preferred embodiment. The wooden panels (1) can be positioned on the carrier carcass (2) in different directions, and their number can vary depending on preference. In this sense, the views are not binding. It should only be noted that when the number and orientation (direction) of the wooden panels (1) changes, the pattern of the carrier carcass (2) will have to be adapted accordingly. For example, the number of the pins (3) used and the positions of said pins (3) will be different.

In the preferred construction, the technical elements, i.e., the above-mentioned lock panel (4) and lock slot panel (5), are integral with the carrier carcass (2). However, if desired, it is also possible to design it from a different material and as a separate component. In this case, the lock panel (4) and the lock slot panel (5) will be the components connected to the sides of the carrier carcass (2) according to the methods in the state of the art.

The wooden tile flooring construction of the invention is basically designed considering two assembly states. These are the connection of the wooden panel (1), preferably made of plywood, by positioning it on the carrier carcass (2), and the joining of the wooden panel (1) assembled on the carrier carcass (2), that is, the wooden paneled carrier carcass (12), with another wooden paneled carrier carcass (12). In other words, it is the locking and joining of a carrier carcass (2) with another carrier carcass (2) during laying on the floor.

In the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the wooden panel (1) is connected with the carrier carcass (2) by means of pins (3). The wooden flooring construction of the invention comprises a carrier carcass (2) with at least one pin (3) thereon. In the wooden flooring construction of the invention, the wooden panel (1) preferably comprises two mounting holes (1a). Said pins (3) pass into the mounting hole (1a) on the wooden panel (1) and provide the connection. For a complete connection, the size (diameter) of the mounting hole (1a) and the size (diameter) of the pin (3) are slightly smaller so that the pin (3) can pass through the mounting hole (1a). The position of the pins (3) on the carrier carcass (2) can be at different points. These points will vary according to the positioning of the wooden panel (1). In other words, the pins (3) will be positioned in the direction in which said wooden panels (1) are guided.

Fig. 4 shows the distance (L1) between the mounting holes on the wooden panel (1) and the length (L2) of the wooden panel. In the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the distance (L1) between the mounting holes is preferably 101 mm, and the length (L2) of the wooden panel is preferably 147 mm. It is possible to create the designs in different sizes as desired, depending on the area of the floor to be laid. The wooden tile flooring construction of the invention comprises at least one carrier carcass floor foot which allows the carrier carcass (2) to be fixed to the floor and also raises it a certain extent from the floor to create a gap between the floor and the carrier carcass (2), and at least one pin floor foot (10). In the construction of the invention, the carrier carcass floor feet are designed in two different forms. These are the first “y” shaped carcass floor foot (9) and the second “x” shaped carcass floor foot (13). As can be seen in Fig. 8, Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, in the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the floor support plates (6) and the gratings (11) are arranged on the carrier carcass (2) in the horizontal direction, preferably in a sequence consisting of a floor support plate (6) and a grating (11). Said first carcass floor feet (9) are positioned on the floor support plates (6). At the points to which the pins (3) correspond, the first carcass floor foot (9) is integrated with the pin (3). This integrated structure is defined as the pin floor foot (10). In the wooden tile floor construction of the invention, the pin floor feet (10) are used to support the parts in which the pins (3) positioned on the carrier carcass (2) are located. In said construction, in the regions where the pins (3) are located, the end of the pin (3) (the end which is not in contact with the wooden panel (1)) forms a support to the floor.

The honeycomb patterns extending parallel to each other on the carrier carcass (2) can be seen in the views of Fig. 6 to Fig. 11 of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention. Considering the details of said honeycomb pattern, it will be seen that the elements of the second carcass floor foot (13) are located in these parts. In the construction the invention, the frame structure continues in the form of “x” following the floor support plates (6) and protrudes (rises) from two arms with the floor feet. Said “x” shaped floor feet are defined as the second carcass floor foot (13). The first carcass floor foot (9) and the second carcass floor foot (13) are carrier feet which support the positioning of the carrier carcass (2) on the floor. Particularly as seen in Fig. 8, Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, the first “x” shaped carcass floor feet (9) are positioned parallel to the second “y” shaped carcass floor feet (13). Said first carcass floor foot (9) and second carcass floor foot (13) are located at each junction point in the frame structure. Said carrier carcass floor feet distribute the load equally by their arrangement in the form of the honeycomb pattern seen in the views of Fig. 8 to Fig. 10, thus providing a rigid attachment to the floor.

The wooden tile flooring construction of the invention comprises a floor support plate (6) which is connected with said first carcass floor foot (9) or pin floor foot (10), and the thickness of which is preferably greater than the gratings (11) and the height is preferably greater than the gratings (11) and less than the first carcass floor foot (9) and the pin floor foot (10). Said floor support plate (6) allows a more durable structure in the carrier carcass (2). Due to the floor support plate (6), the wooden panel (1) fits into the carrier carcass (2) exactly. This ensures that the assembly integrity between the carrier carcass (2) and the wooden panel (1) is maintained against the force that can be applied to the wooden panel (1). Thus, the unintentional separation of the wooden panel (1) and the carrier carcass (2) is prevented.

Fig. 10 and Fig. 13 show the views in which a part of the carrier carcass (2) is detailed with a bottom view in the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention. In other words, the views given in Fig. 8 to Fig. 11 show the side of the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention to be in contact with the floor. The view of the upper side of said carrier carcass (2), that is, the side to be connected with the wooden panels (1), is given in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7. In the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the wooden panels (1) are assembled on the carrier carcass (2) through the pins (3) on the carrier carcass (1). The detail of said pin (3) is given in Fig.12, and accordingly, in the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the pins (3) positioned on the carrier carcass (2) comprise at least one pin neck (3a), at least one pin guide (3b) and at least one pin hole (3c). Said pin guide (3b) has the lowest diameter relative to the pin neck (3a) and the pin hole (3c). Thus, when the wooden panel (1) is assembled to the carrier carcass (2), it remains stable and ensures the integrity of the assembly. The pin guides (3b) opened around the pin ensure that the wooden panel (1) fits tightly to the carrier carcass (2) and prevents the wooden panel (1) from unintentionally separating from the carrier carcass (2). There are the pin guides (3b) at a certain part of the pins (3). Thus, it is possible to assembly the wooden panels (1) in such a way that their surfaces are parallel. Due to the dimensions of the pin (3) and the pin guides on the pins (3), the pins (3) prevent all the vertical load on the assembled wooden panel (1) from acting on the consoles of the carrier carcass (2), and the structural integrity of the carrier carcass (2) is maintained. The part of the load is carried by the pin guides (3b) on the pin (3). Also, said pin guides (3b) prevent an unbalanced load that may be applied to the wooden panel (1) from disassembling the wooden panel (1) from the carrier carcass (2).

In the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the wooden paneled carrier carcass (12), the perspective view of which is given in Fig. 1, is obtained by assembling the wooden panels (1) on the carrier carcass (2). As can be seen in Fig. 1, a part of the carrier carcass (2) is exposed in the wooden paneled carrier carcass (12). This part which preferably protrudes from two adjacent sides is the lock slot panel (5). On the other two adjacent sides, there is a lock panel (4) which is under the wooden panels (1) and faces downwards. The wooden tile flooring construction of the invention comprises at least one lock panel (4) on which the lock system (7) is positioned, on at least one of the sides of the carrier carcass (2). In the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the lock system (7) positioned on the lock panel (4) comprises at least two lock tabs (7a) and at least one lock gap (7b) located between said lock tabs (7a). Said lock tabs (7a) comprise a projection extending outward from the surface of the lock system (7), and an articulation. The detail of said tabs are shown in Fig. 9, Fig. 14, Fig. 16, Fig. 17 and Fig. 18.

The wooden tile flooring construction of the invention comprises at least one lock slot panel (5) on which the lock slot (8) is positioned, on at least one of the sides of the carrier carcass (2). Said lock slot panel (5) are shown in the views of Fig. 20 to Fig. 22. The lock slot panel (5) comprises at least one lock slot (8) in which the lock tabs (7a) of the lock system (7) will preferably be housed in a shrink-fit manner, at least one corner floor support (8a) positioned in the corner part to support said lock slot panel (5), at least one T-floor support (8c) preferably positioned in the middle, and at least one intermediate floor support (8b) positioned between the corner floor support (8a) and the T-floor support (8c).

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, there are eight lock systems (7) in a single row on the lock panel (4) manufactured at 90 degrees to each other on a single carrier carcass (2). The lock system (7) is preferably in pairs as shown in the views.

The lock system (7) should be positioned on the lock panel (4) in such a way that the distance (L3) between the two lock systems and the distance (L4) between the lock system groups will provide rigidity in locking at least two carrier carcasses (2). Here, the distance (L3) between the two lock systems and the distance (L4) between the lock system groups are spaced to meet the lock panel (4) and lock slot panels (5). Accordingly, it is preferably represented as follows:

0 < L3 < (LK- (X*L5))

L3 < L4 < (LK - (X*L5) - ((X-1)*L3)). That is, the distance (L3) value between the two lock systems should preferably be less than the length (LK) of a lock panel on the carrier carcass and the value remaining when the total length of the lock system (7) on the panel is subtracted. The total length of the lock system (7) on the panel is calculated by multiplying the length of a lock system (L5) by the number of the lock systems (X) on a lock panel. On the other hand, the distance (L4) between the lock system groups is preferably greater than or equal to the distance (L3) between two lock systems.

In an alternative of the invention, there may be a lock system (7) on the lock panel (4). In this case, the arrangement in groups, the distance (L3) between two lock systems and the distance (L4) between lock system groups will not be in question.

In the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the height of the lock system (7) is such that it does not exceed the first carcass floor foot (9), the second carcass floor foot (13) and the pin floor foot (10). That is, the height of the lock system (7) is less than or equal to the height of the first carcass floor foot (9), the second carcass floor foot (13) and the pin floor foot (10).

In the preferred embodiment, the lock slot (8) is located on the lock slot panels (5) which are 90 degrees to each other in a single carrier carcass (2). The lock slot panels (5) are located directly opposite the lock panels (4). The lock slots (8) are also arranged in pairs like the lock system (7) and at the same measurement distances as the lock system (7). Thus, it makes it possible to assemble multiple wooden paneled carrier carcasses (12) together.

The assembly mechanism of the lock system (7) and the lock slot (8) of multiple wooden paneled carcass (12) are detailed with the views of Fig. 14 to Fig. 22. During assembly, the lock panel (4) of a carrier carcass (2) is positioned on the lock slot panel (5) of another carrier carcass (2) so as to be parallel, as shown in Fig. 18 or Fig. 20. The lock tabs (7b) are joined with the lock slots (8) preferably at a maximum angle of 15 degrees, allowing the tab to engage into the lock slot (8). The angle limit of 15 degrees has been determined by ignoring the ease of assembly of the carrier carcass (2), since the lock tabs (7b) of the lock system (7) are articulated. Then, when the assembly is completed, the lock panel (4) sits on the lock slot panel (5) as in Fig. 21. Fig. 19 and Fig. 22 show the final assembly of the lock system (7). This process is valid for the entire lock system (7) and lock slot (8) on the carrier carcass (2).

In the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, the design created on the carrier carcass (2) provides the advantages both in assembling the wooden panel (1) to the carrier carcass (2) and in joining the wooden paneled carcasses (12) with each other.

In the wooden tile flooring construction of the invention, there is no gap after the lock system (7) is mounted with the lock slot (8). This is very important in terms of maintaining the integrity of the lock system (7). Thus, the lock system (7) will not switch into the disassembled state unintentionally. The structure of the lock system (7) allows two carrier carcasses (2) to be assembled side by side when the floor slope is not higher than 15 degrees. Thus, the deterioration of the assembly integrity caused by the floor structure is prevented. While the carrier carcasses (2) are in the assembly state, it is impossible to disrupt the assembly integrity unless the external forces cause the carrier carcasses (2) to make an angle of more than 15 degrees. In the construction of the invention, the elements forming the carrier carcass (2) are preferably in a monolithic, integrated design. However, the different alternative designs are also included in the scope of the invention. For example, it is possible for the carcass floor feet to be a separate part connected to the structure. The locking mechanism, the working principle of said mechanism, and the durable assembly of the carrier carcass (2) both with the wooden panel (1) and with another carrier carcass (2) are essential.

Industrial Application of the Invention

The wooden tile flooring of the invention is a product which can be used indoors and outdoors. It can be preferred in many areas such as balcony, walkway, poolside, shower floor, shower tray floor, sauna floor, garden, hotels, and cafeteria gardens. Although the preferred sizes are specified in the explanations, the alternatives can be created in the desired sizes and dimensions. It can be in different colors. It can be laid freely on the floor without the need for screws, nails or adhesives.
