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 29):
A polygonal board having a core layer with an underside, a topside, edges and edge faces, the core layer having a plurality of staggered hooking tongues formed integrally with the core layer and extending outwardly from the edges of the core layer and spaced along the edges, the core layer having discrete recesses formed in its underside on two sides for engaging with hooking tongues of another board, the hooking tongues and the discrete recesses being arranged to allow sliding mating of the tongues of a first board with the discrete recesses of a second adjacent board thereby forming an abutment surface in the joint between the first board and the second board, the tongues and recesses of adjacent boards co-operating to provide both vertical and horizontal locking engagement of the two boards, wherein the recesses are arranged between two hooking tongues or adjacent a hooking tongue but not at the tongue positions.
