Abstract

An assembled product includes at least three elements arranged in three different planes. A first element is connected perpendicular to a second element, and a third element is connected perpendicular to the second element. The assembled product includes one or more locking devices, each comprising a flexible tongue arranged in an insertion groove one of the at least three elements. The flexible tongue cooperates with a tongue groove, at an adjacent one of the at least three elements, for locking the one element and the adjacent element together. A second edge of the second element is connected to a second edge of the third element by a first of said locking devices.

Claims (19)

1. An assembled furniture product comprising at least three elements arranged in three different planes, including:

a first element connected perpendicular to a second element at a first edge of the second element; and

a third element connected perpendicular to the second element and perpendicular to the first element,

wherein the assembled furniture product comprises at least two locking devices each comprising a flexible tongue arranged in an insertion groove at one of the at least three elements, wherein the flexible tongue is displaceable in the insertion groove,

wherein said flexible tongue cooperates with a tongue groove at an adjacent one of the at least three elements, for locking the one element and the adjacent element together,

wherein each of said locking devices comprises an edge section groove at one of the elements or at the adjacent one of the elements, wherein an edge section of the other of the one element or the one adjacent element cooperates with said edge section groove for locking the one element and the one adjacent element together, and

a second edge of the second element is connected to a first edge of the third element by a first of said locking devices, and

a first edge of the first element is connected to the first edge of the second element by a second of said locking devices.

2. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a second edge of the third element is connected to a second edge of the first element by a third of said locking devices.

3. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a fourth element is connected perpendicular to the first element, and a third edge of the third element is connected to a first edge of the fourth element by a fourth of said locking devices.

4. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a fourth edge of the third element is arranged in a groove at a first edge of a fifth element, and the fifth element is connected perpendicular to the second and fourth elements.

5. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a second edge of the fifth element is connected to a third edge of the second element by a fifth one of said locking devices, and a third edge of the fifth element is connected to a second edge of the fourth element by a sixth one of said locking devices.

6. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a third edge of a fourth element is connected to a third edge of the first element by a seventh one of said locking devices.

7. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insertion groove, in at least one of said locking devices, extends along essentially the entire length of an edge of one of said at least three elements.

8. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tongue groove, in at least one of said locking devices, extends along essentially an entire length of an edge of the adjacent one of the at least three elements.

9. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the edge section of the other of the one element or the one adjacent element is provided with a calibrating groove.

10. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third element is provided with a dismantling groove or recess, said dismantling groove being adapted for insertion of a dismantling tool.

11. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the furniture product is one of a cupboard, a bookshelf and a wardrobe closet.

12. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first locking device, which connects the second edge of the second element to the first edge of the third element, has the flexible tongue is in the insertion groove at an end of the third element.
