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 32):
The board of  claim 29 , wherein the board is three-, four-, or six-sided and the hooking tongues along one side of the core layer are located at positions that are staggered with respect to the locations of hooking tongues on an opposite or opposing side of the core layer; each hooking tongue on the core layer having a width, and each of the tongues being separated from an adjacent latch tongue by a space (S), the space (S) between hooking tongues on the core layer being at least as wide as the widest hooking tongue on the core layer, such that any side of a board may be connected to any side of another board of a substantially similar configuration.
