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 comprising a substrate and a top layer, the substrate comprising a filled synthetic material composite containing a matrix formed by a synthetic material, and a filling material,\n wherein the floor element comprises first coupling parts at a first pair of opposite sides and second coupling parts at a second pair of opposite sides, wherein the second coupling parts are made as a male coupling part and a female coupling part, which are provided with vertically active locking portions effecting a locking in vertical direction when the second coupling parts of two of such floor elements cooperate with each other, and also with horizontally active locking portions effecting a locking in horizontal direction when the second coupling parts of two of such floor elements cooperate with each other, wherein the second coupling parts are configured so as to allow interconnecting two of such floor elements at the second pair of sides by providing one of these floor elements with the associated male coupling part, by means of a turning movement, in the female coupling part of the other floor element, wherein the first coupling parts are performed as a male coupling part and a female coupling part, which are provided with vertically active locking portions effecting a locking in vertical direction when the first coupling parts of two of such floor elements cooperate with each other, and also with horizontally active locking portions effecting a locking in horizontal direction when the first coupling parts of two of such floor elements cooperate with each other, wherein the first coupling parts are configured so as to allow connecting two of such floor elements to each other at the first pair of sides by pushing one of these floor elements with the associated male coupling part, by means of a downward movement, automatically obtained as a result of said turning movement at the second pair of sides, home into the female coupling part of the other floor element, wherein the substrate forms both sides of said first pair of sides, such that both of the first coupling parts, i.e. the male coupling part and the female coupling part, are at least partially made of said filled synthetic material composite, wherein the filled synthetic material composite has a synthetic material/filling material ratio of lower than 50:50, and wherein the filling material comprises an inorganic filling material.
