Multi-purpose tile system, tile covering, and tile

A multi-purpose tile system comprising a plurality of multi-purpose tiles, wherein each tile comprises:

• at least one first edge having a first coupling profile comprising:
• a sideward tongue extending in a direction substantially parallel to the upper side of the tile,
• at least one first downward flank lying at a distance from the sideward tongue, and
• a first downward recess formed between the sideward tongue and the first downward flank,
• at least one second edge having a second coupling profile comprising:
• a downward tongue extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the upper side of the tile,
• at least one second downward flank lying at a distance from the downward tongue,
• a second downward recess formed between the downward tongue and the downward flank, and
• at least one second locking element provided at the second downward flank of the second coupling profile
• at least one third edge having a third coupling profile comprising:
• a third recess configured for accommodating at least a part of the sideward tongue of a first coupling profile of a further tile and at least a part of the downward tongue of the further tile, said third recess being defined by an upper lip and a lower lip, wherein said lower lip is provided with an upward locking element, and
• at least one third locking element provided at a distal side of the lower lip facing away from the third recess and/or a distal side of the upward locking element facing away from the third recess,
• wherein the proximal side of the upward locking element of the third coupling profile, facing the third recess, is entirely upwardly inclined in a direction away from the upper lip, wherein the proximal side of the upward locking element comprises a third lower contact portion extending in a first direction and a third upper contact portion extending in a second direction, deviating from the first direction,
• wherein the first coupling profile and the third coupling profile of each tile are configured to be coupled to the first and third edges of a first adjacent tile by means of a turning movement, wherein, in coupled condition:
• at least a part of the sideward tongue of the first coupling profile is inserted into the third recess of the third coupling profile of the first adjacent tile,
• at least a part of the upward locking element of the third coupling profile of the first adjacent tile is inserted into the first downward recess of the first coupling profile, and
• a proximal side of the sideward tongue, facing the first downward flank, co-acts with the third upper contact portion of the upward locking element of the third coupling profile of the first adjacent tile, and
• wherein the second coupling profile and the third coupling profile of each tile are configured to be coupled to the second and third edges of a second adjacent tile wherein, in coupled condition:
• at least a part of the downward tongue of the second coupling profile is inserted in the third recess of the third coupling profile of the second adjacent tile,
• at least a part of the upward locking element of the third coupling profile of the second adjacent tile is inserted in the second downward recess of the second coupling profile,
• at least one second locking element is facing at least one third locking element of the second adjacent tile to realise a vertical locking effect, and
• a proximal side of the downward tongue, facing the second downward flank, of the second coupling profile co-acts with the third lower contact portion of the upward locking element of the third coupling profile of the second adjacent tile;
• wherein the sideward tongue comprises a tip, facing away from the first downward flank, and a heel, facing towards the first downward flank, wherein a bottom side of the sideward tongue situated in between said tip and said heel is upwardly inclined in a direction towards the first downward flank, and wherein the direction in which the bottom side of the sideward tongue extends and a plane defined by each tile mutually encloses an angle of between 2° and 10°.
