Abstract:
A construction and methods of assembly and construction of boards, e.g. floor boards, are described. The boards have a peripheral connection arrangement for interconnecting of one board to another, a core layer e.g. made from a wood or fibre based material and a top layer applied to the core layer which may be decorative and may include or provide a wear layer. A further bottom layer may be applied to the underside of the core layer and is designed to be in contact with the floor or an underlay can be applied when in use. The connection arrangement includes interconnecting hooking tongues and corresponding catches which co-operate to produce both vertical and horizontal locking.

Claim (Index 34):
The board of  claim 29 , wherein each of the hooking tongues has an upward protrusion on a distal side of the tongue, one side of the protrusion forming at least a portion of a beveled nose surface, another generally inwardly facing side of the protrusion defining a locking surface for engagement with a generally inwardly facing locking surface of one of the discrete recesses of an adjacent board, each of the tongues having an intermediate section having a generally flat upwardly facing surface extending outwardly of the edge of the board, the upwardly facing surface of the intermediate section adapted to receive and abut a downwardly extending locking edge disposed inward of the edge of an adjacent board between tongues of the adjacent board.
