AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing panel elements with subtle connecting members are prone to breaking during installation or re-use, and the production of notches in these panels leads to rapid wear of milling tools due to high rigidity at the surface areas.

Method used

The panel elements feature a notch design that thins out the bottom leg for flexibility, reduces material protrusion, and is positioned to avoid milling high-density areas, allowing for improved tool longevity and enhanced elasticity.

Benefits of technology

The notch design enhances the flexibility of connecting elements, reduces material waste, and extends tool life by focusing milling on less rigid areas, while maintaining mechanical strength and stability.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a panel element for cladding, in particular a floor, wall, or ceiling cladding, which is formed by several interconnected panel elements of the same type. Each panel element has a basic body with a defined overall thickness and upper and lower surfaces. The basic body has longitudinal sides with different contours and end faces with different contours. One longitudinal side has a groove-shaped contour, and the other longitudinal side has a corresponding tongue-shaped contour.
