A connection arrangement for panels including a first panel having a first main plane and a second panel having a second main plane. The first main plane is essentially perpendicular to the second main plane in a connected state. The second panel includes a groove on a first face adapted to receive a first edge of the first panel. The connection arrangement includes an elongate flexible tongue element arranged in an elongate insertion groove in the first panel at an angle of less than 45° relative the first main plane and arranged to cooperate with an elongate tongue receiving groove arranged in the groove of the second panel for connecting the two panels to one another. The elongate insertion groove and the elongate flexible tongue element are configured to extend through the plane of the first face of the second panel when the two panels are in a connected state.

A connecting bolt has a bolt shank and a bolt head which has a radially outwardly projecting bolt projection. The bolt head has a latching projection between the bolt shank and the bolt projection on the side opposite the bolt projection.

A fastener for a grooved joint between furniture panels is disclosed, including a connecting rod having an outer periphery which includes a first peripheral section and a second peripheral section, where the first peripheral section is a geometric cross section and the second peripheral section is of an arc shape; the first peripheral section and the second peripheral section are connected end to end; and a face of one end of the connecting rod is provided with an installation recess for turning the fastener for a grooved joint between furniture panels; an outer surface of the connecting rod is provided with a thread and a stop perpendicular to a direction of the thread; and the other end of the connecting rod is provided with a ratchet. The fastener is convenient to install and uninstall and does not damage back panels or installation panels.

A fixing is described with a head portion (2), preferably formed as a headed stud (8, 9), and a dowel portion (1). The dowel portion (1) has a generally polygonal, preferably square, cross-section, and on each face is formed a series of barbs (4). The fixing is designed to be hammered into a hole of internal diameter corresponding to the external size of the shaft. Once inserted, the barbs (4) prevent easy extraction, e.g. from a chipboard or mdf-based furniture component. The fixing may have an axial hole (12) through which a secondary fixing, such as a headed screw, may pass, in order to render the force needed to pull the fixing out even greater.
