MORTISE AND TENON SYSTEM
A mortise and tenon joint for furniture, includes a mortise piece and a tenon piece. The mortise piece includes a cut-out region. The cut-out region includes a surface. A mortise is located at the cut-out region. A tenon piece includes a tenon sized to fit within the mortise. The tenon piece has a surface that matches the surface of the cut-out region so that when the tenon is within the mortise, the tenon piece can be rotated into a first orientation so that the surface of the tenon piece is flush with the surface of the cut-out region, and the tenon piece can be rotated into a second orientation so that the surface of the tenon piece is not flush with the surface of the cut-out region.

Composed element and corner connection applied herewith
A composed element includes at least two panel-shaped elements, such as a locking tongue and groove connection, that are arranged to be coupled to each other at an angle, either directly or indirectly by means of an intermediate piece. The connection includes, at least at one of the panel-shaped elements, a tongue or groove, cooperable with a groove or tongue provided on the other panel-shaped element or on the intermediate piece. The tongue includes a split tongue, with at least a first part and a second part, and a slit located therebetween. A locking part is located at the outer side of at least said first part wherein the slit, seen in cross-section of the tongue, defines at least one side, the course of which, seen in cross-section, deviates from the main direction belonging to the tongue.

Panels comprising a mechanical locking device and an assembled product comprising the panels
A set of panels including a panel with a first main plane and an adjacent panel with a second main plane, wherein the panel and the adjacent panel are provided with an angleable locking device for locking a first edge of the panel to a second edge of the adjacent panel. The first main plane is essentially perpendicular to the second main plane. The angleable locking device includes an edge groove at the first edge and a tongue groove at the second edge. The edge groove includes a flexible tongue arranged in an insertion groove at a first side of the edge groove. The angleable locking device is configured to be unlocked by an angling motion of the panel relative the adjacent panel, such that an angle between the first and the second main plane increases.

Table leg connection
A novel table leg connection and method of assembly are disclosed. The connection may comprise a stand having a hole, a leg including a pin extending away from one end of the leg wherein the pin is configured to fit within the stand hole, and a locking bracket having prongs configured to engage the pin, wherein the stand has an interior wall having grooves configured to engage the locking bracket. The locking bracket may include a fastening arm disposed opposite the prongs and extending substantially orthogonally away from the locking bracket. The pin may have a slot configured to engage the prongs of the locking bracket. The method of assembly may comprise inserting a pin of a leg into a hole of a stand, sliding a locking bracket having prongs through grooves formed in the interior wall of the stand, and pushing the locking bracket toward the pin until the prongs are frictionally engaged by the pin. The disclosed inventions advantageously permit a user-friendly connection between the legs and the stand of the table that promotes easy assembly. The disclosed inventions also allow for an efficient means of connecting a leg to a table stand to form a stable attachment that is sturdy and long lasting.
