    摘要: A floor covering (10) is disclosed having a decorative surface (14) lying in a plane of the floor covering. The floor covering comprises rectangular floor panels (12), each floor panel having:
    - a core (38) and preferably a decorative layer (40) on the core, the decorative layer forming a portion of the decorative surface (14),
    - a first edge (16) and a second edge (18) forming a first pair of opposite edges,
    - a third edge (20) and a fourth edge (22) forming a second pair of opposite edges, and
    - four corners (23) at intersections of the edges.
    At least the first pair of opposite edges (16, 18) is provided with mechanical coupling means (24) so that a plurality of similar panels can be coupled to one another. The coupling means (24) provide for an interlocking in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the floor covering, as well as in a direction perpendicular to the coupled edges and parallel to the plane of the floor covering. The floor covering further comprises a plurality of alignment elements (46). Each edge of the floor panel at least partially defines a hollow receiving cavity (42) below the decorative layer (40). The hollow receiving cavity (42) has a shape such that, when a first edge (16) of a second floor panel (12; B) is coupled to a second edge (18) of a first floor panel (12; A), the hollow receiving cavities (42) are aligned to form a receiving pocket (48) within which one of the plurality of alignment elements (46) is at least partially received.
