Hard floor panels, floor coverings consisting of hard floor panels, methods of assembling hard floor panels and method for manufacturing such floor panels

摘要

Floor covering, consisting of hard floor panels (1) which, at least at the edges of two opposite sides (2-3, 26-27), are provided with coupling parts (4-5, 28-29), co-operating with each other, substantially in the form of a tongue (9-31) and a groove (10-32), whereby the coupling parts (4-5, 28-29) are provided with integrated mechanical locking means (6), which coupling parts and locking means prevent the drifting apart of two coupled floor panels (1) into a direction (R) perpendicular to the related edges (2-3, 26-27) and parallel to the underside (7) of the coupled floor panels (1),characterized in that said floor panels (1) show the further features: that the floor panels (1) are rectangular laminated floor panels (1); that coupling parts as defined above are provided at all four sides; that the coupling parts (4-5, 28-29) and the locking means (6) are realized in one piece with the floor panels (1) themselves, more particularly in one piece with the core (8) of the floor panels (1); and that said groove at its lower side is bordered by a lip, more particularly a lower lip (23-43), which lip over its complete thickness is structurally made out of the material of the floor panel itself.
