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 (12)

1. An assembled furniture product comprising at least two panels arranged in two different planes which are essentially perpendicular to each other, wherein:

the at least two panels include a first panel connected perpendicular to a second panel by a locking device;

the locking device comprises an edge section groove at a surface of the first panel, wherein an edge section of the second panel cooperates with the edge section groove for locking the first panel and the second panel together in a first direction;

the locking device comprises a flexible tongue arranged in an insertion groove in the edge section groove, the insertion groove being formed between opposing insertion groove walls;

the flexible tongue cooperates with a tongue groove in the edge section for locking the first panel and the second panel together in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction, the tongue groove being formed between opposing tongue groove walls;

the insertion groove walls are non-parallel to the tongue groove walls; and

a width of an opening of the tongue groove is greater than a width of an opening of the insertion groove.

2. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the locking device is configured to be unlocked by inserting a dismantling tool into the tongue groove for disassembling of the first panel and the second panel.

3. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tongue groove extends along essentially an entire length of an edge of the second panel.

4. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the insertion groove extends along essentially the entire length of an edge of the first panel.

5. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the flexible tongue is displaceable in the insertion groove.

6. The assembled furniture product as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the edge section is provided with a calibrating groove.
