The locking device is configured to lock the first edge of the adjacent panel in the groove of the panel. The locking device includes a cylinder and a lever connected to the cylinder. The cylinder is configured to be arranged in the hole in the panel. The cylinder is configured to be displaceable in the hole between a first mounting position and a second locking position by rotation of the cylinder.

A composed element, such as a piece of furniture, wherein the composed element comprises at least a rear wall, as well as a number of constructional parts forming a whole in which the rear wall has to be provided. The rear wall forms the rear side of the composed element and includes one or more rear wall parts. The composed element comprises seats for installing at least one of the rear wall parts, which are configured such that the rear wall part can be slid into the seats starting from the rear side of the composed element from a position differing from the final plane in which the rear wall part will be situated in the final condition.

A joining device for parts of furniture and furnishing accessories, of the shelf unit, bookcase, drawer unit, bed frame, seating type and the like, includes a casing or container body suitable for being inserted in a seat formed in one of the components of the item of furniture to be joined and is provided with an expansion bushing externally projecting with respect to a first end or front open end of said casing or container body and suitable for engaging with a further seat of a further component of the item of furniture to be joined to the component wherein the casing or container body is inserted. Said joining device includes a cam mechanism for a linear motion of actuation means co-operating in an expansion deformation movement of the expansion bushing and simultaneous expansion of at least one portion of said casing or container body.

A connecting device includes a connecting element arranged on a connectible part, which includes non-self-cutting retaining projections having a curved supporting surface in the shape of a circular arc in a longitudinal section that are insertable into a groove provided on another connectible part. The groove has a curved undercut surface in the shape of a circular arc in a longitudinal section, a base segment, and two undercut segments extending away from the base segment in a thickness direction. The retaining projections engage in the undercut segments of the groove, the connecting means guiding the parts in relation to each other. One connecting element includes a guiding groove with a slotted guide and the other connecting element includes a guiding element moveable along the guiding groove in a specified guiding path having varying distances from a contact surface of the part and/or abutment surface of the connecting element.

A connection fitting is provided for releasably attaching a first plate-shaped furniture part at a second plate-shaped furniture part. The connection fitting comprises a mounting base portion for attaching the connection fitting at one of the two furniture parts, a locking arm with a first end portion and a second end portion facing the first end portion, and a fixing means. The locking arm at the first end portion is arranged pivotably about a rotation axis (DA) at the mounting portion, and the fixing means is arranged at the second end portion of the locking arm such that it is movable in radial direction relative to the locking arm. Further, a connection fitting system with at least two connection fittings and a furniture part with a connection fitting are provided.

A joining device for parts of furniture and furnishing accessories, including a casing or container body suitable for being inserted in a seat formed in one of the components of the item of furniture to be joined and provided with an expansion bushing externally projecting with respect to an open end of the casing or container body and suitable for engaging with a further seat of a further component of the item of furniture to be joined to the component wherein the casing or container body is inserted, the joining device which includes a cam mechanism for a linear and reciprocated motion of an actuation unit co-operating in an expansion deformation movement of the expansion bushing and in a backward and traction movement of the same expansion bushing, with the cam mechanism and the actuation unit housed in the casing or container body and actuated by a tool.

A method for the production of a connecting device for the components of piece of furniture, characterized in that it includes the steps of preparation of a casing extending along a longitudinal axis and provided with a first and a second half-shell both concave and mutually rotatably connected in correspondence of a reciprocal connecting line defining an tilting axis, in which said half-shells are mutually put side by side with the respective concavities facing upwards, predisposition of at least one tie rod, predisposition of at least one eccentric element and at least one tie rod, tilting of the second half-shell around the axis from the open position to a closed position, in which the half-shells are mutually abutted in correspondence of respective peripheral edges and the respective concavities defining the housing space for the tie rod and the eccentric element.

A connecting device between components of a piece of furniture includes a casing capable of being received in a first seat and in a second seat obtained respectively in a first and in a second component of the piece of furniture, and including a first and a second radially expandable region to engage respectively the first and the second component in correspondence of the first and the second seat, a tie rod received inside the casing with axial sliding power towards and from a locking position, and including a first segment in enlarged section and a second segment in enlarged section susceptible of engagement respectively with the first and the second region to determine a radial expansion of the casing when the rod is moved in the locking position, and an eccentric element arranged to engage a head of the tie rod and axially move it towards the locking position when the eccentric element rotates around its main axis.
