Abstract:
A set of panels for covering floors, ceilings or walls is disclosed. Specifically, sets of panels including a plurality of panels joined with a mechanical locking at their adjacent edges. Each of the panels includes at least two pairs of parallel side edges. When the panels are installed in rows, the adjacent edges of two adjacent panels in one row are locked to one another and the adjacent panels of the adjacent rows are locked to one another. Locking provides connecting while preventing movement spacing the locked panels apart in a direction perpendicular to the coupled side edges by a translation in the plane of the bottom surface of the panels, and preventing movement spacing the locked panels apart in a direction perpendicular to the coupled side edges by a translation in a plane perpendicular to the bottom surface of the panels.

Claim (Index 1):
A set of panels comprising:\n a first panel having a side edge on which a first retaining profile is disposed; a second panel having a side edge on which a second retaining profile is disposed that can be joined to the first retaining profile; the first retaining profile comprising a first protruding member having a height (H B \u2212H PM1 ) that is smaller than the height (H B ) of the first panel; and a first toothed part disposed at a free end of the first protruding member and having a height (H B \u2212H T1 ) that is larger than (H B \u2212H PM1 ) and smaller than (H B ) such as to define a first channel between the first toothed part, a top surface of the first protruding member extending between the side edge and first toothed part and the side edge of the first panel; the first retaining profile comprising a protruding rim that extends from the side edge along the length of that side edge from a level H TOP  to a level H R  between H TOP  and H PM1 , this protruding rim as such partially extending above the first channel; the second retaining profile comprising a second protruding member having a height (H PM2 ) that is smaller than the height (H B ) of the second panel, and a second toothed part disposed at a free end of the second protruding member, said second toothed part configured to cooperate with the first channel, said second toothed part comprising a groove in a surface of the second toothed part facing away from the side edge of the second panel; a locking profile mounted to the first retaining profile, said locking profile comprising:\n a base positioned in the first channel; \n a first abutment portion extending from a first edge of the base and disposed along the edge of the channel defined by the toothed part, said first abutment portion defining an abutment surface facing the first channel; \n a second abutment portion extending from a second edge of the base opposite the first edge and positioned in the channel along the side edge of the first panel, said second abutment portion comprising a rim at its free end and extending in a direction facing away from the side edge of the first panel, such that the rim of the locking profile is snapped into the groove of the second retaining profile upon joining two panels, \n wherein is at least partially attached to the first toothed part.
