Abstract:
Floor panels are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system that may be locked with a vertical displacement of a first panel against a second panel. The locking system includes a flexible strip that during locking bends upwardly or downwardly. The locking system includes a first and a second joint edge section with different locking functions. One section provides a horizontal locking and another section provides a vertical locking.

Claim (Index 5):
A set of floor panels provided with a mechanical locking system, the mechanical locking system comprising:\n a strip extending horizontally from a lower part of a first edge; and a downwardly open locking groove formed in an adjacent second edge, the strip comprising an upwardly protruding locking element which is configured to cooperate with the locking groove for locking the first edge and the second edge in a horizontal direction parallel to a main plane of the panels and in a vertical direction being perpendicular to the horizontal direction, wherein the locking element and the locking groove comprise an upper locking surface and a lower locking surface which are configured to lock the first edge and the second edge vertically, said upper locking surface being located at an inner surface of the locking element and said lower locking surface being located at an outer groove wall of the locking groove, and wherein the mechanical locking system comprises a first edge section and a second edge section such that a geometry of the locking element and/or the locking groove varies along the first edge and/or the second edge.
