Välinge Gets Two New U.S. Patents

Viken, Sweden, March 23, 2008--Välinge has received two new U.S. patents related to mechanical locking and plywood floors.

One of the applications is related to a plywood floor with a locking system having a locking strip made of several layers such that the number of layers differs along a length of the strip.

The new patent protects all plywood based locking systems designed by Välinge.

Another application is related to a mechanical locking system that uses displaced surfaces in the tongue/groove connection. All locking systems designed by Välinge use this technology.
