Descriptive Report of the Invention Patent for ASSEMBLY OF THE FLOOR PANEL, FLOOR PANEL AND LOCK ELEMENT. The present invention relates to a floor panel assembly comprising blade-shaped floor panels, the floor panels of which are provided with edges, a lower side and an upper side. The floor panels are directed to be joined by means of joining members. In particular, each floor panel is provided at least on a first edge with a first joining member and, on a second opposite edge, with a second joining member. The first and second joining members are adapted to be joined by a movement of two panels with their first and second edges of the panel towards each other so that in the joined position the panels are close to their upper side along of a seam. The first and second joining members which lock the panels at the adjacent edges at least in a direction perpendicular to the upper side and in a direction parallel to the upper side, but perpendicular to the first and second adjacent edges in their joined position. The first and second joining members are provided with at least one locking element that is deformable and / or movable, during said joining, from a first position that allows the first and second joining members to be joined, to a second position in which it locks the first and second joining members to each other. The locking element is provided on one of the first and second joining members and comprises a first locking surface adapted to cooperate with a second locking surface of the other of said first and second joining members. Floor panel assemblies having joining members comprising a deformable locking element are already known, for example, from US 2009/0064624 A1. According to the invention, the locking element has a tongue on said first end bearing locking surface and a control part next to the other end as well as a connecting part between them. The connecting part is slidably accommodated in 2/16 a channel having two open ends, and is pushed at least partially out of a first end of the channel when the locking element is moved and / or deformed from the first to the second position by means of the control part extending from one opposite end of the channel for cooperation with the other of said first and second joining members. In this way, the locking element is guided reliably and has a control part on one side of the channel and the locking surface on the other. The channel can be formed by a hole, groove, crack or the like. The control part can take the form of a flexible part of the locking element that extends along a curved guide so that one end of the locking element is at an angle to the tongue and has at least one component perpendicular to the upper side of the respective panel, but as an alternative it is also possible that the control part of the locking element is curved in the first position of the locking element in which the latch of the locking element is inactive and is moved to a straighter shape in the second position of the locking element under control of the relative movement of the panel edges. In both modes, the movement of the edges of the panel causes the locking element to move from the first to the second position thereby placing the locking surfaces in engagement with each other. In the latter embodiment, the control part of the locking element can include at least one and preferably a plurality of pivots that allow the control part to move between the curved shape and the straightest shape. This is a good way to control the deformation of the control part of the locking element. One end of the remote control part of the tongue can be substantially fixed, so that deformation occurs between one end of the control part and the channel. Alternatively, one end of the control part is movable and is guided by a wall of the joining member during movement of the control part from the curved to the straightest shape. In this way, the movement of one end of the control part will mainly control the movement of the locking element. In another alternative, the control part of the locking element has a control surface that is inclined with respect to the direction of movement of the tongue and with respect to the direction of movement of the edges of the panel, so that it can cooperate with a control surface the other said first and the second joining members to move the tongue of the locking element from the first to the second position. All sorts of other shapes and guide shapes can be used to cause the locking element to move. In a particular embodiment, the first and second joining members are configured as a male and female joining member, the locking element being attached to the male joining member, although it is also conceivable to attach the locking member to the female joining member . If the edges of the panels are moved relative to each other in a vertical direction, the female joining member will normally be at the bottom edge and the male joining member will be at the top edge. In another development, the male joining member is provided with a protrusion extending away from the upper side of the panel, the channel extending through said protrusion, in a particularly substantially parallel manner to the upper side of the respective panel. The female joining member can then comprise a control part for cooperation with the control part of the locking element to move the locking element when the edges of the panel move towards each other. In addition, the female junction member may comprise a flap projecting substantially parallel and from the underside of the panel to the first edge, said flap having a depression to accommodate the protrusion of the male junction member, said depression having a projection for up close to the free end of the flap that forms the control part of the female joint member. 4/16 The latch of the locking element can extend a part of the length of the respective edge of the panel and can be accommodated in a groove that preferably extends along the length of the edge of the panel, the locking element being further provided with a plurality of connection and control parts accommodated in a plurality of channels. In this way, the groove can easily be made, for example, by wearing the entire edge of the panel, while the tongue can be of a shorter length that allows easy engagement of the locking surface, also if the edges of the panel are not moved towards each other in a parallel way. It is very convenient if the connecting part includes a spring-type part to absorb the movement of the control part and to transfer it to the tongue as soon as the first and second locking surfaces are allowed to engage. This allows the control part of the locking element to be activated before the locking surface can engage with each other. The movement of the panel edges is accumulated as spring energy that is released at a desired time. As a result, it is not necessary to allow the locking surface to gradually engage in synchronization with the movement of the panel edges, although this is covered by the invention. The locking surface can now engage instantly under the influence of the elastic force on the tongue. However, the first and second locking surfaces can be tilted to facilitate their engagement. The invention also includes a floor panel for this in the assembly of the floor panel described above, as well as a locking element for use in such a floor panel. Further details and advantages of the invention follow from the description below of the invention with reference to the drawings showing the modalities of the invention in the form of an example only. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a plurality of panels 5/16 of a panel assembly according to the invention in a panel placement stage. Figure 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view according to line ll-ll in figure 1 showing partially two panels with the third and fourth edges on the long sides of the panels. Figures 3a and 3b show in perspective a part of two separate edges of the panel having joining members including a locking element, in which the locking element is illustrated in a first position (figure 3a) and in a second locked position ( figure 3b). Figures 4a, 4b, 4c are side views of the edges of the panel of figure 3, in three different stages of locking the joining members of these edges of the panel. Figures 5a and 5b are views that correspond to those of figures 3a, 3b, but showing a second embodiment of the invention. Figures 6a, 6b, 6c are views corresponding to those of figures 4a, 4b, 4c, but showing the second embodiment of the invention. Figures 7a and 7b are views corresponding to those of figures 3a, 3b, but showing a third embodiment of the invention. Figures 8a, 8b, 8c are views corresponding to those of figures 4a, 4b, 4c, but showing the third embodiment of the invention. Figures 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b and 11a, 11b, respectively, are enlarged perspectives of the locking element separated from the three modalities of figures 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 in their first and second positions. Figures 12 and 13 are perspective views from below and from above, respectively, showing a variation of the modality of the invention according to figures 3 and 4. Figures 14 and 15 are seen mainly corresponding to those of figure 4a and showing variations of the first modality. Figure 16 is a view that corresponds to that of figure 12 and figures 17a, 17b and 17c are views that correspond to those of figures 4a-4c showing another embodiment of the invention. The drawings and in the first example figures 1 and 2 of these, 6/16 show a number of panels in a panel mounting embodiment according to the invention. In particular, figure 1 shows a first panel 1, a second panel 2, a third panel 3 and a fourth panel 4. These panels are substantially rectangular and can be square or elongated. The four panels shown are elongated having a first edge 5 and a second opposite edge 6 which are short edges, and a third edge 7 and a fourth opposite edge 8 which form the long edges. At first, the panel assembly is directed to form a floor covering, but the panels can also be used as wall panels, ceiling panels or panels to cover other surfaces. These surfaces can be internal or external surfaces. In a particular embodiment, the panels can be constructed as laminated panels to form a laminate floor that is well known in the art. These panels are used to imitate planks or tiles of natural material, such as wood, stone or any other material. Generally these laminated panels comprise a relatively inexpensive material center, in particular a wood-based material such as material including wood particles or fibers such as MDF / HDF, a wooden plastic composite (WPC), other composites including plastics, or plastics. This center of these panels can be covered by a decorative layer formed, for example, of transfer sheet or a laminate of layers of paper immersed with resin. The decoration can also be formed in a different form, for example, printing directly and / or digitally in the center, or finishing the center by embossing, friction or the like. An upper surface 9 on the upper side of the panels is thus formed. A bottom surface 10 on the underside of the panels can be formed by another layer, for example, a waterproof coating or foil. However, the invention is also applicable to panels made of wood, plastic or other material with or without separate upper and / or lower layers. The edges 5 - 8 of each panel 1-4 are provided with joining members to join the panels together to obtain a floor covering on the 7/16 which panels are coupled to each other substantially without the formation of a gap. For this purpose, the first edge 5 of each panel is provided with a first or vertical male joining member 11, the second edge 6 with a second or vertical female joining member 12, where the third edge 7 is provided with a first or male horizontal junction member 13 and the fourth edge 8 with a second or female horizontal junction member 14. The third and fourth edges 7, 8 with the first and second joining members 13, 14 are shown in figure 2 and can be configured in a well-known manner. These junction members 13, 14 are such that they allow a junction of the third and fourth edges to contact the female junction member 14 of a panel or two panels that are already installed on the surface. In figure 1, panel 1 is placed in engagement with panels 3 and 4. The first male joint member 13 is placed in engagement with the second female joint member 14 while panel 1 is held in a relatively inclined position, where after the panel 1 with the male joining member 13 is rotated with respect to the other panels 3 and 4 to bring the upper surfaces 9 of the panels substantially in alignment with each other. This method is also known as the orientation join method. In principle, it would also be possible to orient a female joint member to a male joint member of an already installed panel. In the embodiment shown in figure 2, the joining members comprise locking means that prevent the panels from moving away in a direction parallel to their surfaces 9, 10 and perpendicular to their edges 7, 8. These locking means are configured so that they exert a force pushing the panels towards each other (that is, perpendicular to their edges) while the panels are in their joined condition. This force counteracts the formation of cracks between the panels, in particular at the position close to the upper surface 9 where the panels meet. This position can be exactly on the upper surface in the situation of figure 4, but in this case the upper edges of the panels are manufactured8 / 16, for example, to form a V-groove (see figures), U-shaped groove or other area recessed between the panels, the edges of the panel will reach a distance from the top surface 9. Figure 2 also showed that the first male joint member 13 includes a tongue 15, while the second female joint member 14 includes a groove 16 that can receive at least part of the tongue 15 therein to lock the panels with respect to each other. another in a direction perpendicular to the surfaces 9, 10, that is, in the vertical direction. The shape of the tongue and groove 14, 15 can have all kinds of configurations and orientations as long as they include surfaces that restrict movement in a direction perpendicular to the surfaces 9, 10. The horizontal locking of the panels away from each other is accomplished by means of a flap 17 below the groove 16 projecting from the panel 2 and carrying close to its free edge of an upper protrusion 18 which engages in a lower groove 19 positioned behind the tongue 15 of the panel 3. It is shown in the drawings that the first joining member 11 of the first panel 1 is provided with a separate locking element 20 which is connected to the first joining member 11, and has sufficient freedom of movement to move or deform in order to cooperate with the second junction member 11 for coupling junction members 11, 12 to each other so as to lock the first and second junction members 11, 12 to each other in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface 9 and in a direction parallel to the upper surface 9, but perpendicular to the first and second adjacent edges 5, 6 in their joined position. For this purpose, the locking element 20 is deformable from a first position, which allows the first and second joining members 11,12 to be joined (figures 3a and 4a), to a second position in which it locks the first and second according to joining members 11, 12 to each other (figures 3b and 4c). In the mode shown, the locking element 20 - when seen in a direction parallel to the respective edge 5 - is provided with a locking part 33 at one of its ends, a control part 36 at its end 9/16 the other end and with a connection part 35 between them. The locking element 20, and in particular the locking part 33 thereof, may extend over the entire length of the first edge 5, but preferably a plurality of short locking elements 20 is provided distributed along the length of the edge 5, or even just a short locking element 20 substantially in the middle of the second edge 6. The length and placement of the locking element 20 depends on several factors, in particular, the length of the edges 5, 6, the material of the panels and the particular use panel assembly. The use of one or more narrow locking elements 20 facilitates a connection between two edges of the panel when the edges are moved towards each other in a non-parallel orientation, for example, if a panel is folded down as is disclosed here. In addition, the locking effect is better when there is a local load, because if one locking element is disengaged due to the high local load, the other locking elements will remain locked and keep the edges together. The second or female joining member 12 comprises a groove 21 that extends a distance below the top side of the panel 2 and parallel to the respective edge of the panel 6. The part of the panel below the groove 21 is extended on a projecting flap 22 including on its upper surface a depression 23 adjacent to the groove 21. In the embodiment shown, the depression 23 has a flat bottom parallel to the edge 6. At its free end the flap is provided with an upper projection 24 having a vertical wall 25 that limits the depression 23 and an upper surface 26. At the free end of the flap 22 there remains a free space 27 at the first edge 5 of the other panel to ensure that the seam between the vertical wall surfaces 28, 29 next to the upper surface 9 of the panels 1, 2 can be closed. The first or vertical male junction member 11 comprises a downward protrusion 30 having in this case a substantially flat bottom surface extending parallel to the first edge 5. The shape and dimension of this downward protuberance 30 are such that it will fit 10/16 to the depression 23 of the female junction member 12 when the first and second junction members 11 and 12 are in their coupled condition. The lower surface of the protuberance forms the lowest point of the first joining member 11 where the distance from the upper surface 9 of the panel is at a maximum. At the bottom of the first edge 5 is a recess 31 which is large enough to assume the upward projection 24 on the flange 22 of the female joint member 12 and allow it to activate and lock the locking element 20 on the first joint member 11 in the coupled condition of junction members 11, 12. The protrusion 30 has on its adjacent side the surface of the vertical wall 28 and at a distance from the lower surface of the protrusion a groove 32 preferably extending the entire length of the edge 5 and adapted to slide sliding part 33 of the locking element lock 20. Furthermore, the protrusion comprises at least one, here two channels 34 which extend substantially perpendicular to the groove 32 and connecting the groove 32 with the recess 31 of the first joining member 11. The channels 34, which are formed as holes with two open ends, they are adapted to guide a connecting part 35 of each locking element 20 which can then transfer a movement from a control part 36 of the locking element 20 to the locking part 33 thereof. The height of the channel 34 can be greater than that of the groove 32 so that the channel 34 also extends in the part of the protuberance 30 below the groove 32, having the shape of an open groove upwards. As is clearly shown in figures 3, 4 and 9, the locking part 33 of the locking element 20 is here in the form of a tongue 33. The tongue 33 is dimensioned to be completely accommodated in the groove in the first joint member 11 when it is in its first position, and to engage the groove 21 of the second joint member 12 when it is in its second lock position. For this locking function, the tongue is provided on its upper surface with a locking surface 37 that cooperates with a locking surface 38 on the upper wall of the groove 21 on the second joining member 12. The locking surfaces 37 and 38 are 11/16 inclined with respect to the upper surface 9 and the vertical wall surface 29. The angle may vary with respect to the upper surface 9 of the panel, but generally the locking surfaces 37 and 38 will be parallel to each other when engaged. The inclination of the locking surface allows them to engage gradually when the joining members 11,12 are being coupled together. The action of the control part 36 in this embodiment of the lock element 20 is based on the principle that the control part 36 is curved at the first position of the lock element 20 in which the latch 33 of the lock element is inactive and is moved to a more straight in the second position of the locking element 20 under control of the relative movement of the edges of the panel 5, 6. In this embodiment the control part 36 has for this purpose two hinges 39 and 40 parallel to the first edge 5 of the respective panel 1 and which allow the control part 36 of the locking element 20 to deform. Hinge 39 is positioned at one end of the control part adjacent to connection part 35, while hinge 40 is positioned between hinge 39 and the free end of control part 36. Hinges 39 and 40 are film hinges formed from a piece with the locking element 20 and may have a reduced thickness in relation to the adjacent locking element parts 20 or it may have other characteristics that allow an elastic / plastic deformation of the control part in the position of the hinges 39, 40. Another feature of the locking element 20 is that the connecting part 35 includes a spring 41 to absorb the movement of the control part 36 and to transfer it to the tongue 33 provided that the first and second locking surfaces 39, 40 are allowed to engage. This will be explained in this report. The operation of the joining members 11, 12 is illustrated with reference to figures 4a - 4c. The function of the locking element 20 is described with reference to a control and connection part 36, 35, but it would be kept in mind that this embodiment has two control and connection parts 36, 35, as long as a larger number is conceivable. 12/16 When the panel 1 is in the position according to figure 1, the edge 5 and then the joining member 11 of the first panel 1 gradually engages with the edge 6 and the joining member 12 of the panel 2. In a cross section, the panels 1, 2 can be in the relative position according to figure 4a. The locking element 20 is in its first position with the tongue 33 of the locking part inside the groove 32 and the control part 36 curved to the maximum. The hinge 40 of the control part 36 is at a distance from the overlapping part of the first joining member 11, that is, the top of the recess 31. This allows deformation of the control part 36 of the locking element 20. The upper surface 26 of the projection 24 on the flap 22 of the second joining member already comes into contact with the control part 36 on the hinge 40. The edge 5 is (in this cross section) moved down to such an extent that the tongue 33 is positioned opposite the surface vertical 29 of the second joining member 12 and is then prevented from moving out of the groove 32. In figure 4b, the edge 5 is moved further down, so that the upper surface 26 of the projection 24 on the flap 22 acts as a control part of the second joining member 12 and moves the hinge 40 of the control part 36 of the element lock 20 towards the top of the recess 31.0 triangle formed by hinges 39 40 and the free end of the control part 36 has become flatter and as a result, the distance between the free end of the control part 36 and the hinge 39 if become bigger. Because the free end of the control part 36 is fixed against the vertical wall of the recess 31, the hinge 39 moved towards the groove 32. Normally the hinge 39 would also move the tongue 33 in the same direction, but because of the tongue 33 still to be partially at the level of the vertical surface 29 of the second joining member 12, the tongue 33 cannot be moved further until the vertical surface 29 engages. The movement of the hinge 39 is absorbed by the connecting part 35 of the locking element which acts as a spring 41 which is now loaded by displacement of the hinge 39. In figure 4c, an edge 5 of panel 1 has moved to a position 13/16 in which the upper surfaces 9 of both panels 1 and 2 are expansions. The tongue 33 has moved downwards so that it is aligned with the groove 21 in the second joining member 12 and thus is free to move the groove 32 in the first joining member 11 and partially in the groove 21 under the influence of the elastic force in the connection part 35 of the locking element 20. The inclination of the locking surface 37, 38 causes a gradual engagement and also compensates for tolerances, as does the flexible connection part 35. In the second position of the locked locking element 20, the upper surface 26 of the upward projection 24 of the second joining member 12 is in engagement with a thick part 42 of the control part 36, and the control part 36 is completely stretched, so that the distance between the free end of the control part 36 and the hinge 39 is at a maximum. The substantially vertical wall surface of the protrusion 30 of the first junction member 11 and the vertical wall 25 of the projection 24 of the second junction member 12 are also engaged and prevent horizontal movement of the edges of the panel 5, 6 away from the engagement one of the other, and the vertical surfaces 28, 29 can be propelled to engage with each other to prevent the formation of cracks between the edges of the panel 5, 6. As is clear, there is a movement in a substantially direction only when the tongue 33 of the locking element 20 moves from the first to the second position. In the second position of the locking element 20, the locking surface 37 on the tongue 33 locks the first joining member 11 of the first panel 1 in the vertical direction. This lock will be stronger if more force is needed to disengage lock surface 37 and 38 again. This can be achieved, for example, if the friction between the locking surface 37 and 38 is large and if there is any elastic force on the connecting part 35 of the locking element 20. On the other hand, the inclination of the locking surface 37, 38 can allow the tongue 33 to be pushed back from its groove 32 if sufficient vertical force is exerted on the edge of the panel 5, so that the panels 1, 2 can be disassembled. 14/16 The figures. 5, 6 and 10 show a second embodiment of the floor panel assembly, especially of the control part 36 of the locking element 20 thereof. The control part 36 in this second embodiment is formed so that the free end of the control part 36 is at a distance from the top of the recess 31 in the first panel 1 so that this free end can be moved up and down under influence of the upper surface 26 of the projection 24 on the flap 22 of the second joining member 12. Also in this case the control part 36 has a curved shape in the first position of the locking element 20, and has a more stretched or flat shape in the second position of the locking element. The vertical wall of the recess 31 in the first joint member 11 guides the free end of the control part 36 and forces the hinge 39 to move towards the groove 32. Again, the connection part 35 acts as a spring that stimulates the tongue 33 to the groove 21 when it reaches the level of the groove 21 so that the locking surface 37, 38 can engage. In the third embodiment of figures 7, 8 and 11, the control part 36 has another configuration so that it has a flexible part 44 that extends along a curved guide 44 in the recess 31 so that the free end of the control part 36 is at an angle to the tongue 33 and groove 32 and has at least one component perpendicular to the upper surface 9 of the respective panel, and in this embodiment it is perpendicular to the upper surface 9. A reduced portion 45 of the upper surface 26 of the projection 24 of the second member junction 12 can engage with the free end of the control part 36 and can move it upwards with respect to the first panel 1. As a result, the curved guide 44 of the first junction member 11 transfers the vertical movement of the free end of the control part 36 in a horizontal movement of the opposite end of the control part adjacent to the connection part 35. This horizontal movement or movement parallel to the surface top 9 of panel 1 moves the tongue 33 directly or through the spring action of the connecting part 35 in the groove 21 of the second joining member 12. The figures. 12 and 13 show the modality of figures 3 and 4, in 15/16 that any channel 34 is not formed as a hole through protrusion 30, but as a groove, which is opened at the bottom side of panel 1. Generally, such a groove is easier to manufacture than a hole. Because the tongue 33 is sufficiently firmly attached to the groove 32, the channel 34 does not have a maintenance function. The operation of this modality is the same as that of figures 3 and 4. Figures 14 and 15 are two variations of the embodiment of figure 4 in which the wall 25 which defines the depression 23 on the distal side and which cooperates with the downward depression 30 of the matching junction member 11 is formed differently. This is done to allow the disconnection of the joining members 11 and 12 of panels 1 and 2 by the orientation of the panel 1 upwards. In the embodiment of figure 4, disconnection is only possible by sliding panels 1 and 2 along their edges 5, 6. The angle of wall 25 and the corresponding wall in protuberance 30 are, for example, between 50 and 60 degrees, here ca. 57 degrees. In the variation of figure 15, a small upper part 25a of the wall is at an angle of substantially 90 degrees, here ca. 88 degrees to realize slight resistance against the orientation of the male junction member 11. The cooperation of the downward protrusion wall 30 of the male junction member has a corresponding shape. Certainly, this disconnect feature could be combined with all modes. Figures 16 and 17 illustrate another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the control part 36 of the locking element 20 has a control surface 46 which is inclined with respect to the direction of movement of the tongue 33 and with respect to the direction of movement of the edges of the panel 5, 6 during the joining. so that it can cooperate with the also angled control surface 47 of the female joint member 12 (in this case it is formed by a part of the vertical wall 25) to move the tongue 33 of the locking element 20 from the first to the second position. Again, the spring 41 of the connection part 35 assumes the displacement before being transferred to the tongue 33 as soon as it arrives in front of the groove 21. Certainly, it would be sufficient if only one of the surfaces 46, 47 were inclined to be able to move the line16 / 16 ghetto 33. It is noted that aspects of the various modalities as shown and described can be used in different combinations. The invention is not limited to the modalities shown in the drawing and described above, which can be varied in different forms within the scope of the invention. For example, it would be possible to provide the locking element on the second or the female joining member. This would be more or less the inverted version of the modalities shown in the drawings. The locking element can also be substantially rigid, while other parts of the panels can be deformable or the locking element and the joining members can have a shape that allows a gradual movement of the locking element. For example, an upper entrance wall of the groove on the other panel that receives the tongue can be tilted to directly assume the tongue as soon as it is moved by the control part. In addition, it is conceivable to use the invention with panels that have vertical joining members on all four sides and that can then be configured by moving the panels vertically with respect to one, two or more panels already installed. Although the locking element has been described before as an element that is separate from the panels, it could be integrated into one of the panels, especially if the panels are made of plastic material. It is also possible that each of the first and second join members has its own locking element that cooperates with each other. The latch of the locking elements can be more or less pin-shaped so that the latch and the control element have substantially the same width and thus each latch has only a single control element. The panels may have a different configuration than substantially rectangular, in particular triangular or hexagonal. The edges of the panel should be configured so that the edges of the adjacent panel have compatible joining members.
