Abstract:
A floor panel comprises coupling parts in the form of a tongue and groove connection with locking elements; wherein the groove is bordered by an upper lip and a lower lip; and wherein the one locking element is provided on the lower side of the tongue and the other locking element is provided on the upper side of the lower lip; characterized in that the most upward-situated point of the locking element on the lower lip is situated at a distance of at least ⅓ times the thickness of the floor panel from the underside of the floor panel; and that the minimum thickness of the lower lip is maximum ¼ times the thickness of the floor panel.

Claim (Index 7):
The floor panel of  claim 1 , wherein the floor panel shows one or a combination of two or more of the following characteristics:\n the characteristic that one or more pairs of the vertically active locking surfaces are formed at least partially from the material of the core; the characteristic that the aforementioned coupling parts consist of milled profiles which, for at least 70 percent of their contour, are provided in the material of the core; the characteristic that the first pair of opposite edges as well as the second pair of opposite edges is provided with coupling parts; the characteristic that the aforementioned coupling parts further allow a coupling by means of a horizontal shifting movement of the edges towards each other and/or by means of a downward-directed movement of the first coupling part with said tongue up into the second coupling part with said groove; the characteristic that in a coupled condition of two of such floor panels a tension force is obtained between the upper edges of the respective floor panels; the characteristic that the lower lip in a coupled condition is bent; the characteristic that the aforementioned coupling parts comprise support portions, which, in the coupled condition of two of such floor panels, cause a fixation in the mutual position of the aforementioned locking elements; the characteristic that the support portions are situated immediately next to the cooperating portions or horizontally active locking surfaces of the locking elements without an intermediate space; the characteristic that the support portions, in respect to the floor panel with the groove, are situated proximally from the aforementioned cooperating portions or horizontally active locking surfaces of the locking elements.
