Abstract:
A vertical joint system for substrates is formed with joints and which engaged by relative motion in a direction perpendicular to major surfaces and of the substrate. The joints are configured to enable relative rotation of up to 3 degrees while maintaining engagement of the joints. The joints and are further configured to form two locking planes one on each of the inner and outer most sides of the joint. Engagement about the locking planes is provided by transverse outward extending surfaces. At least one surface in each pair of engaging surfaces is smoothly curved. The joints and can be further arranged to provide a third locking plane parallel to and between the locking planes. The joints are disengaged by combination of a downward rotation of one joint relative the other then application of a downward force.

Claim (Index 14):
A panel according to  claim 1  wherein the vertical joint system comprises: on at least one side of the substrate a first protrusion that extends from the upper surface toward the lower surface and a first recess inboard of the first protrusion; and on at least one further side of the substrate a second protrusion that extends from the lower surface toward the upper surface and a second recess inboard of the second protrusion, the first protrusion provided on a side distant the first recess with a first locking surface being arranged to engage with a second locking surface provided on the second recess and wherein the first locking surface does not extend laterally beyond an edge of the upper surface of a side of the substrate along which the first protrusion extends, the joint system extending along each side of the substrate and configured to enable a first substrate, which is engaged on each of its sides with respective other substrates by engagement of respective joint systems on the substrates, to be disengaged from the other substrates by lifting the first substrate in a direction perpendicular to a plane containing the upper major surface of the first substrate thereby rotating each of two substrates engaged on opposite side of the first substrate to lie in respective planes declined from the first substrate.
