Abstract

Panels are shown which are provided with a mechanical locking system allowing perpendicular connection with a snap action. A set of panels including a first and a second panel, an edge of the second panel is insertable into a groove of the first panel, when the panels are arranged essential perpendicular to each other, to obtain a mechanical connection between the first and the second panel, when the second panel is displaced essentially perpendicularly to the first panel.

Claims (28)

1. A set of furniture components provided with a mechanical locking system for locking a first panel and a second panel essentially perpendicularly to each other, the mechanical locking system comprising:

a groove provided in the first panel,

an edge of the second panel,

an insertion groove provided in the groove of the first panel, a separate and flexible tongue being provided in the insertion groove, and

a tongue groove provided in the edge of the second panel,

wherein the edge of the second panel is configured to be inserted into the groove of the first panel for locking said first and second panels to each other in a direction perpendicular to the main plane of the second panel,

wherein the separate and flexible tongue is configured to cooperate with the tongue groove for locking said first and second panels to each other in a direction perpendicular to the main plane of the first panel,

wherein the insertion groove is inclined upwards, a distance from an opening of the insertion groove to the main plane of the first panel being smaller than a distance from an inner part of the insertion groove to the main plane of the first panel, and

wherein the groove comprises a tapering inner portion and/or wherein the edge comprises a tapering outer portion.

2. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the groove tapers down continuously in an inward direction of the groove.

3. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein a bottom portion of the groove comprises a bevel.

4. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein an outer portion of the groove comprises a bevel such that a width of the outer portion of the groove decreases in an inward direction of the groove.

5. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein an outer portion of the edge comprises a bevel such that a width of the outer portion of the edge decreases in an outward direction of the edge.

6. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the edge tapers continuously.

7. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the edge tapers continuously along a length corresponding to a depth of the groove.

8. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the edge of the second panel is configured to be inserted into the groove of the first panel when the main planes of the first panel and the second panel are arranged essentially perpendicularly to each other.

9. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion groove is formed in a side wall of the groove of the first panel.

10. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion groove is inclined such that a linear extension of a lower part of the insertion groove is located at or above an upper part of the opening of the groove.

11. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein a panel body of the second panel overlaps one or both parts of a groove opening when the edge of the second panel is inserted into the groove of the first panel.

12. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the main plane of the first panel is provided along a side surface of the first panel in which the groove is provided.

13. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the separate and flexible tongue comprises an outer flexible part.

14. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the separate and flexible tongue comprises an inner flexible part.

15. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein an inner part of the separate and flexible tongue comprises one or several flexible protrusions extending in a length direction of the separate and flexible tongue.

16. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein a length direction of the separate and flexible tongue extends along a length direction of the groove.

17. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein an inner part of the separate and flexible tongue is provided in the insertion groove and wherein an outer part of the separate and flexible tongue extends outside of the insertion groove in a locked state of the first and second panels.

18. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the separate and flexible tongue is configured to be displaced inwardly towards a bottom of the insertion groove and outwardly into the tongue groove during locking.

19. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the separate and flexible tongue is configured to be linearly displaced in the insertion groove.

20. The set of furniture components according to claim 1 , wherein the separate and flexible tongue has two opposite displacement surfaces configured to be displaced against an upper wall and a lower wall of the insertion groove during locking.
