A set of panels including a first panel, a second, and a locking device. The 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 edge groove includes a first groove surface at a first side of the insertion groove and a second groove surface at a second side of the insertion groove. The second edge includes a first edge surface at a first side of the tongue groove and a second edge surface at a second side of the tongue groove. The locking device is configured to be unlocked by inserting a tool in the tongue groove. The first groove surface is arranged offset in a second direction relative to the second groove surface by a first distance.

A piece of furniture in which a washing machine can be placed, comprising two substantially vertical side walls, a substantially horizontal bottom wall, a substantially horizontal top wall and a substantially horizontal carrier placed between the bottom wall and the top wall.

A furniture system is provided having a support to be mounted to an upright structure of a building, and a shelf that is assembled onto the support. The shelf has a load-bearing surface, a front side, and a rear side with a first connector. The support has an outer face that includes at least one second connector. The first and second connectors are configured to interconnect such that, in the assembled the furniture system, the shelf is supported by the support with the load bearing surface projecting horizontally away from the upright structure, the first and second connectors resist rotation of the shelf about the first and second connectors by a force acting downwardly through the load bearing surface, and the first and second connectors resist disconnection of the shelf from the support by force applied to the shelf in a direction that is normal to the support.

Provided is a coupling system comprises a first tubular member with a top end and a second tubular member with a bottom end, defining together a longitudinal axis. One of the top end of the first tubular member and the bottom end of the second tubular member is configured with a longitudinal axially extending socket portion. The other one of the top end of the first tubular member and the bottom end of the second tubular member is configured with a longitudinal axially extending plug portion for coaxial snug receipt within the socket portion. Each tubular socket portion and the plug portion is configured with a lock opening intersecting the longitudinal axis. The coupling system includes a locking plug configured for locking engagement of the lock openings while in register with one another, thereby preventing axial or rotary displacement of the first tubular member and the second tubular member.

An end table for crating a pet includes a first side panel and a second side panel. The second side panel is laterally spaced from and parallel to the first side panel. The end table additionally includes a bottom panel, a top panel and a rear panel. The rear panel laterally extends between rear ends of the first and second side panels. The end table further includes a door carried by the first side panel for sliding movement between a stowed position and an open position and for rotational movement between the open position and a closed position in which the door closes an opening laterally between front ends of the first and second side panels. The first side panel, the second side panel, the rear panel, the bottom panel, the top panel and the door cooperate to define an enclosed area for the pet.

A rack has a frame and a plurality of shelves. Each shelf has an enclosing frame member that has two first sides connected by two second sides, a connecting bar that connects the first sides at about the center of the first sides, a plurality of slots provided on the inner surfaces of the second sides, and a plurality of slats, each slat having opposing ends that are fitted into opposing slots at the second sides, and with each slat being connected to the connecting bar. At least one connector is provided for removably connecting each shelf to a portion of the frame.

The invention relates to a system for constructing a piece of furniture, partitions or an exhibition stand, said system comprising at least one supporting structure (10) which has a flat shape and comprises a plurality of side edges (10a, 10b), wherein interfaces (12) embodied and designed for connection to other system components are provided on at least two edges (10a, 10b). At least one adjusting element (14) is interlockingly and/or frictionally attached to the interfaces (12) arranged on the edges (10a, 10b) and pertaining to the at least one supporting structure (10). As a result of the interfaces (12) arranged in the edges (10a, 10b) of the supporting structure (10) and protected by the supporting structure being at least partially built into the supporting structure (10) and arranged in recesses (13) provided in the side edges (10a, 10b), and the at least one adjusting element (14, 14, 14) being attached to the interfaces (12) by means of a mating part to the respective interface (12), a flexible, modular system with interfaces on the edges of a supporting structure is provided, by means of which all of the functions of a piece of furniture can be covered. Furthermore, the supporting structure itself is constructed correspondingly.

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 fixture and method for making the same. The fixture may be a bathroom vanity comprising a base cabinet constructed from a plurality of boards formed from plastic material comprising a base plastic component, a calcium-zinc based stabilizer, a foaming agent, and calcium carbonate. The plastic material is formed into sheets that may be substantially flat or curved and that may be of varying thickness or of uniform thickness. The formed sheets are then cut into boards for assembly using traditional joinery methods. A top may be attached to the base cabinet, and the top may comprise a countertop with one or more sinks.
