1. A floor panel,
said floor panel having a first pair of opposite sides and a second pair of opposite sides; said floor panel being rectangular and oblong and said first pair of opposite sides forming the short sides and said second pair of opposite sides forming the long sides; said floor panel at the first pair of opposite sides comprising coupling parts with which two of such floor panels can be coupled to each other; wherein these coupling parts form a horizontally active locking system and a vertically active locking system; wherein the horizontally active locking system has a male part and a female part, which allow to connect two of such floor panels to each other at the respective first sides by providing one of these floor panels with the pertaining male part, by means of a downward movement, in the female part of the other floor panel; and wherein the vertically active locking system comprises a locking element, which is provided in the form of an insert in a distal face of the side which is provided with the male part; said floor panel at the second pair of opposite sides comprising coupling parts allowing a connection with a similar panel at least by means of a pivoting movement, said connection providing a vertical as well as horizontal locking effect between the coupled panels; said coupling parts at said first and second pair of opposite sides being configured such that such panel at a long side by means of said pivoting movement can be coupled to a similar panel in a previous row, whereas simultaneously, the same panel, due to the downward movement engages at one of its short sides with a preceding panel in the same row; wherein said locking element consists of a synthetic material strip provided in a recess; wherein said locking element comprises a lock-up body which is formed as a pivotable part, said lock-up body having an upward directed extremity in the form of a free end that can be rotated outward, said free end forming a locking portion which can co-operate with a locking portion of a similar coupled floor panel; wherein said sides of said first pair of sides are realized in such a manner that two of such panels at these sides also can be locked or unlocked, or both locked and unlocked by mutually angling them into each other, out of each other, respectively; and wherein the male part and the female part comprise cooperating contact surfaces, wherein the contact surface of the female part is upwardly inclined in a distal direction. |
