Abstract:
Floor covering, made of floor elements, which, at least at two opposite sides, comprise a male and a female coupling part, which allow that two of such floor elements can be interconnected at the respective sides at the respective sides by pushing one of these floor elements with the associated male coupling part, by means of a downward movement, home into the female coupling part of the other floor element, wherein at least one of said coupling parts, either the male coupling part or the female coupling part, is made as least partially in a filled synthetic material composite, such as extruded wood.

Claim (Index 1):
A floor element for forming a floor covering, wherein the floor element comprises a substrate and a top layer; wherein the floor element comprises, at a pair of opposite sides, coupling parts, which are made as a male coupling part and a female coupling part, which are provided with vertically active locking portions, which, when the coupling parts of two of such floor elements cooperate with each other, effect a locking in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the floor covering, and also are provided with horizontally active locking portions, which, when the coupling parts of two of such floor elements cooperate with each other, effect a locking in a direction perpendicular to the respective sides and in the plane of the floor covering; wherein the female coupling part comprises a groove bordered by an upper lip and a lower lip, the upper lip having a distal end defining a first vertical plane; wherein the male coupling part, including its horizontally active locking portion and its vertically active portion, is made of a filled synthetic material; wherein the top layer, at the side of the floor element comprising the male coupling part, has a distal end defining a second vertical plane; wherein the male coupling part comprises a first portion, which is made of the filled synthetic material and which is situated proximally from the second vertical plane, and a second portion, which is made of the filled synthetic material and which is situated distally from the second vertical plane; and wherein a part of the second portion is situated, when considered in the coupled condition of two of such floor elements, between said first vertical plane and said second vertical plane.
