Patent ID: 8756899

Claim:
A method of assembling resilient floorboards, which are provided with a mechanical locking system including a first device for vertical and horizontal locking of two adjacent floorboards, wherein the method comprises the steps of: positioning a first edge of a first floorboard, provided with the first device of said mechanical locking system, juxtaposed a second edge of a second floorboard, provided with a second device of said mechanical locking system; subsequently bending the first floorboard at the first edge so that the first edge is curved about an axis of curvature that is parallel to the second edge of the second floorboard, the curved first edge being convex toward a bottom surface of the floorboards; and applying a downward force on a first part of the first edge so that at said first part of the first edge said first device for vertical and horizontal locking is pushed into said second device to obtain a vertical and horizontal mechanical locking of a part of the first and second edges.
