Abstract:
A floor panel may include a substrate and a top layer. The top layer may include a printed thermoplastic film and a thermoplastic transparent or translucent layer provided on the printed thermoplastic film. The substrate may be a synthetic material board including a filler. The substrate may include coupling means provided at edges of the synthetic material board. The coupling means may enable locking with a similar floor panel and prevent separation in a horizontal direction using locking parts with horizontally active locking surfaces. The horizontally active locking surfaces may be oriented at an angle A of more than 90 degrees with the horizontal direction. A first one of the locking parts may be an upstanding part at a bottom lip of a first one of the edges. The angle A may be between (a) a tangent of the horizontally active locking surfaces, and (b) a direction in a horizontal plane that points away from an open curved surface of the upstanding part.

Claim (Index 1):
A floor panel comprising:\n a substrate having a top side and a bottom side; and a top layer provided on the substrate; wherein the top layer consists of a printed thermoplastic film and a thermoplastic transparent or translucent layer provided on the printed thermoplastic film; wherein the substrate is a synthetic material board including a filler; wherein the substrate at least at two opposite edges includes coupling means provided in the synthetic material board; wherein the coupling means enable a locking with a similar floor panel at the respective edges; the locking preventing separation of the locked floor panels in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the edges using locking parts provided in each other whereby at least one pair of horizontally active locking surfaces is created, the horizontally active locking surfaces being oriented at an angle A of more than 90 degrees with the horizontal direction; the locking preventing separation of the locked floor panels in a vertical direction perpendicular to the plane of the locked floor panels; wherein a first one of the locking parts is an upstanding part at a bottom lip of a first one of the edges, thereby defining an open curved surface; and wherein the angle A is between (a) a tangent of the horizontally active locking surfaces, and (b) a direction in a horizontal plane that points away from the open curved surface of the upstanding part.
