A furniture module for forming part of a piece of furniture is provided. The furniture module comprises a first panel (102) and at least one second panel (104) being pre-mounted to said first panel (102) by means of an adhesive (161) forming a hinge connection (105) between said first panel (102) and said second panel (104), wherein a side portion (108) of the first panel (102) is facing a side portion (109) of the second panel (104) when the furniture module is assembled into a final corner shape, and wherein the adhesive (161) is arranged along at least a part of the length of the side portion (108) of the first panel (102) and at least a part of the length of the side portion (109) of the second panel (104).

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.

A storage system is provided. The storage system includes an enclosure forming an open side exposing a face of a drawer, the drawer in translatable engagement with an interior of the enclosure. A first arm is secured to the enclosure and configured to pivot within the enclosure into a locked position and without the enclosure in an unlocked position. A translatable latch is provided for unlocking the first arm from the locked position. The latch translates through an aperture of the arm, the aperture being housed within the side of the enclosure for security when in the locked position.

An assembly includes a drawer base and a drawer back panel and/or a drawer front panel. The drawer base is hinge-connected to the drawer back panel and/or the drawer front panel for transferring the assembly from a transport position into a use position, and the drawer base comprises at least two drawer base segments hinge-connected together to transfer the assembly from the transport position into the use position.

A drawer base for a drawer includes a spacer arranged on the drawer base, preferably via a fixing means, such that a first thickness of the drawer base in the vertical direction in the state of use of the drawer base through the spacer in the region of at least two, in particular three or four, side surfaces of the drawer base is greater than a second thickness in the vertical direction in the state of use of the drawer base in a central region, preferably in the region of a center point, of the drawer base by the spacer in the region of at least two, in particular three or four, side surfaces of the drawer base, and the second thickness is less than 16 mm, preferably less than 12 mm, particularly preferably less than 8 mm.

This invention is designed to create a drawer that has the ability to be easily broken down into a flat or neat flat stack. The most difficult about shipping furniture is that the drawers do not condense, filling much more space than necessary. With the methods described in this patent, one can create a drawer that can easily be compacted to a fraction of the assembled size and can be assembled without any specialized tools. This will also help with minimizing shipping space as well as shipping costs. This invention can be used for dressers, desks, toolboxes, nightstands, organizers, residential, or industrial furniture, and many more applications.
