Patent ID: 8745952

Claim:
A floor panel, comprising: a centrally located core provided with an upper side and a lower side, at least one first resilient coupling part and second resilient coupling part connected respectively to opposite edges of the core, which the first coupling part comprises a single upward tongue, at least one upward flank lying at a distance from the upward tongue and a single upward groove formed between the upward tongue and the upward flank, wherein: at least a part of a side of the upward tongue facing toward the upward flank extends in the direction of the normal of the upper side of the core, at least a part of a side of the upward tongue facing toward the upward flank forms an upward aligning edge for the purpose of coupling the first coupling part to a second coupling part of an adjacent floor panel, at least a part of a side of the upward tongue facing away from the upward flank is provided with a first locking element which is connected substantially rigidly to the upward tongue and adapted for co-action with a second locking element of a second coupling part of an adjacent floor panel, which the second coupling part comprises a single downward tongue, at least one downward flank lying at a distance from the downward tongue, and a single downward groove formed between the downward tongue and the downward flank, wherein: at least a part of a side of the downward tongue facing toward the downward flank extends in the direction of the normal of the lower side of the core, at least a part of a side of the downward tongue facing away from the downward flank forms a downward aligning edge for the purpose of coupling the second coupling part to a first coupling part of an adjacent floor panel, the downward flank is provided with a second locking element which is connected substantially rigidly to the downward flank and adapted for co-action with a first locking element of a first coupling part of a substantially similar adjacent floor panel, wherein the upward groove is adapted to receive at least a part of a downward tongue of an adjacent panel, wherein the downward groove is adapted to receive at least a part of an upward tongue of an adjacent panel, wherein a top surface of the upward tongue is located on the side of the upward tongue adjacent to the side of the upward tongue facing away from the upward flank and is angled downward, and wherein a top surface of the downward groove is located on the side of the downward groove adjacent to the downward flank and is angled downward towards the lower side of the core.
