Abstract
A wall or ceiling panel, which, on one side edge, comprises a male coupling part and, on an opposite side edge, comprises a female coupling part. The male coupling part comprises a tongue and the female coupling part comprises a groove. The groove is bordered by a front lip and a rear lip, with the characteristic that the panel forms a ceiling-high wall panel and/or has a length of at least 2400 mm.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . Wall or ceiling panel, which, on one side edge of the panel comprises a male coupling part and, on an opposite side edge of the panel, comprises a female coupling part,
wherein the male coupling part and the female coupling part are configured such that two of such panels, by means of the male coupling part and the female coupling part, can be coupled to each other in a plane and thus a coupled condition can be realized between the panels; wherein the male coupling part comprises a tongue; wherein the female coupling part comprises a groove; wherein the tongue and the groove, in the coupled condition, form a tongue and groove connection, which realizes a mechanical locking between the panels in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the panels; wherein the groove is bordered by a front lip and a rear lips; wherein the male coupling part and the female coupling part each comprise a locking part, wherein the locking parts, in the coupled condition, realize a mechanical locking between the panels in the direction in the plane of the panels and perpendicular to the coupled side edges; wherein the panel has a length of at least 2400 mm; wherein the panel comprises a, whether or not filled, polyvinyl chloride core.
2 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises a polyvinyl chloride foil on its front side.
3 . The panel of claim 2 , wherein the panel comprises a polyvinyl chloride foil on its rear side.
4 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the panel has a lacquer layer on the front side.
5 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the front side of the panel is provided with a digital print.
6 . The panel of claim 5 , wherein the digital print is provided on a primer.
7 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the locking part of the male coupling part is provided on the rear side of the tongue; and
wherein the locking part of the female coupling part is provided on the front side of the rear lip.
8 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the panel shows one or more of the following characteristics:
the rear lip extends in distal direction beyond the open or free end of the front lip; the active locking zone defined by the locking parts is situated partially or entirely beyond the open or free end of the front lip; the part of the rear lip which, in distal direction, extends beyond the open or free end of the front lip, is longer than the thickness of the panel; the coupling parts are of the turning type; the coupling parts are configured such that they, in the coupled condition, fit into each other with pretension; and/or the coupling parts are realized entirely from the material of the panel ( 6 ) and in one part therewith.
9 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the front side of the rear lip is provided with a stop surface, through which stop surface an attachment element can be provided in the rear lip.
10 . The panel of claim 9 , wherein the attachment element is a screw.
11 . The panel of claim 9 , wherein the stop surface is provided with an indication in order to indicate where the attachment element can be provided.
12 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the coupling parts are situated on the long side edges of the panel.
13 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the coupling parts are provided with glue or the like such that, in coupled condition of the panels, water penetration in the coupling is counteracted.
14 . The panel of claim 13 , wherein the glue or the like is provided along the entire side edge of the panel.
15 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein no coupling parts are provided on the short side edges of the panel.
16 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the front side of the panel is provided with a relief structure.
17 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the rear side of the panel is provided with a relief structure.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
