Composed element, multi-layered board and panel-shaped element for forming this composed element
Composed element including at least two panel-shaped elements, which each have an edge zone in which coupling means are present in the form of a profiled part respectively extending in the longitudinal direction of the respective edge zone, as well as each including an end face extending transversely to the respective edge zone, wherein said profiled parts allow coupling the panel-shaped elements together in an interlocking manner, wherein at least one of the panel-shaped elements includes an arrangement which hides from view at least a portion of the profiled part formed at the pertaining edge zone at the location of the end face.
1. A method for assembling a piece of furniture,
wherein said piece of furniture comprises a basic structure having four corners,
wherein at least two panel-shaped elements form horizontal walls of said basic structure, and at least two panel shaped elements form vertical walls of said basic structure,
wherein said panel-shaped elements each have an edge zone in which coupling means are present in the form of a profiled part respectively extending in the longitudinal direction of the respective edge zone,
wherein each panel shaped element forming a vertical wall is coupled with both panel-shaped elements forming a horizontal wall in an interlocking manner,
wherein said method comprises
realizing connections between both of said panel-shaped elements forming a vertical wall and both of said panel-shaped elements forming a horizontal wall,
wherein the coupling means of at least one of said connections includes a male part and a respective female part, and the connection is realized by snapping the male part into the female part of the respective panel-shaped elements into each other by means of a translation movement of the respective coupling means towards each other, wherein said snapping includes the male part being elastically compressed upon entering the female part followed by a recovery of at least part of the elastic compression in order to create the snapping.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least two of said connections are realized by turning the coupling means of a first of the panel-shaped elements into a second of the panel-shaped elements by a turning movement.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said connections are present at said corners.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the basic structure is formed by turning the panel-shaped elements into each other at the location of three corners, whereas exclusively the fourth corner is effected by means of a translation and snap movement.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said coupling means being connected by a translation and snap movement comprise a locking element which is made as an insertion piece in an edge of one of the panel-shaped elements.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said panel-shaped elements completely surround a space.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein all said connections are formed by means of a translation and snap movement.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said piece of furniture is a table or a cupboard.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method further includes the preliminary step of taking said panel-shaped elements from a packaged box of flat-pack furniture.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method further comprises the step of attaching a door to said basic structure, wherein said door is at least in the closed condition position in front of the contours of said coupling means.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein said panel-shaped element is made from particle board.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein said coupling means comprise a split tongue.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein realizing said connections between both of said panel-shaped elements forming a vertical wall and both of said panel-shaped elements forming a horizontal wall comprises:
turning the coupling means of a first edge of a first of the panel-shaped elements into a first edge of a second of the panel-shaped element,
turning the coupling means of a first edge of a third of the panel-shaped elements into second edge of the second of the panel-shaped element.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein realizing said connections between both of said panel-shaped elements forming a vertical wall and both of said panel-shaped elements forming a horizontal wall further comprises:
turning the coupling means of a first edge of a fourth of the panel-shaped element into a second edge of the third of the panel-shaped element, or
turning the coupling means of a second edge of a third of the panel-shaped element into a first edge of the fourth of the panel-shaped element.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the translation movement that realizes the connection by said snapping connects the second edge of the first panel-shaped element and the second edge of the fourth panel-shaped element.
