Abstract

Floor panels (1, 1', 1' ' ) are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system on long and short edges (5a, 5b, 4a, 4b) allowing installation with vertical folding and where the long edge (5a, 5b) locking system prevents separation of the short edges (4a, 4b) during the folding action.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention mainly relates to the field of floor panels with a mechanical locking system with a flexible displaceable tongue that facilitates installation. The present invention provides a new and improved locking system and method of installation. Background technique [0002] In particular but not limitatively, the present invention relates to a mechanical locking system for rectangular floor panels having long and short edges. It should be emphasized that the long and short edges are only used to simplify the description. The floor panels can also be square. In general, however, the invention is equally applicable to architectural panels. More particularly, the present invention relates to a mechanical locking system capable of locking all four edges of a panel to other panels with a single angling operation, such mechanical locking system preferably comprising a flexible or partially flexible tenon Tongues and / or displaceable tongues ...
