Abstract
A panel includes coupling elements arranged so that two panels an be connected to one another by a form-fit connection at the same time in a first direction perpendicular to the common joint and in a second direction parallel and perpendicular to the common surface of the panels. The panels may be used to provide a laminate flooring. The form-fit connection achieves greater security during assembly with reference to any enlargement of cracks and inaccuracies when laying parquet flooring. Laid parquet flooring elements no longer slip relative to one another even when subjected to relatively large stresses, thereby avoiding damage and the need for follow-on work. The coupling element is preferably designed as a separate synthetic material clip in the shape of the letter H.
