MODULAR HOUSING APPARATUS
Described herein are systems, modes, and methods for mounting one or more electronic housings to each other and to a rack mount system, a table mount system, or wall mount system. The mounting system includes a first pair of matching sliding panels that interface with each other in a slidingly engaging manner. Each of the first pair of sliding panels can be mounted to housings prior to being engaged with each other; the engagement of the first pair of sliding panels removably fixes the two housings together; additional housings can be fixed to the first two in a substantially similar manner. The first pair of sliding panels includes a U-shaped sliding panel and a C-shaped sliding panel, and according to a second embodiment, a second pair of sliding panels includes a C-shaped sliding panel and a Pi-shaped sliding panel. The second pair of sliding panels operates in a substantially similar manner as the first pair of sliding panels.

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.
Temporary merchandiser display
A display hutch is provided that can be made from three components adhered together to form a flat compact structure suitable for shipping. The compact structure can be positioned upright and quickly converted into the display hutch having uninterrupted side panels suitable for graphics. A top tray may be mounted on top.
Furniture kits and methods of making the same
Example furniture kits and methods of making the same are described. An example method includes coupling a first block of a connector to a rear wall of a disassembled piece of furniture, the first block having a first groove, and coupling a second block of the connector to a side wall of the piece of the furniture, the second block having a second groove. One of the first block or the second block includes an extension and the other of the first block or the second block includes an opening to receive the extension when the first and second blocks are coupled. The example method also includes packaging the rear wall, the side wall and a locking cover into a furniture kit to be used to assemble the piece of furniture. The locking cover is to couple the first and second blocks.
Compartment divider assembly
A compartment divider assembly. The compartment divider assembly may comprise: one or more dividers and at least one coupler. The one or more dividers may comprise a first divider and a second divider. The at least one coupler may comprise at least one support coupler and at least one set of prongs. The one or more dividers may further comprise at least one dovetail groove traversing along a longitudinal axis. The one or more dividers may be positioned substantially horizontally. The first divider may be positioned substantially perpendicular to the second divider. The at least one set of prongs may further comprise at least one planar face and at least one non-planar face. The at least one non-planar face of the at least one set of prongs may be adapted to engage with at least one dovetail groove of the one or more dividers.
Modular furniture with stressed panel dovetail joint
An article of modular furniture such as a drawer, case, cabinet, or table is provided. The article of furniture uses a first panel with a dovetail tab and a straight tab and a second panel with a dovetail slot and a straight slot. The first panel is flexed in order to insert the dovetail tab and the straight tab into the respective dovetail slot and straight slot and is then un-flexed to complete the assembly.
CABINET ASSEMBLY
A kit is provided that, when assembled, forms a unit of furniture. The kit includes side panels that can reversibly slide into an opening formed in the sides of the front and side panels. The kit may include multiple locking pins and cleats to restrict movement of the top and side panels. The kit may include positioning wedges and/or locking wedges to restrict relative movement of the panels and thus improve the stability of the unit. Also provided are methods of assembling the unit of furniture.
FURNITURE ASSEMBLY
A furniture assembly includes a vertical panel configured to vertically extend relative to a working surface once the vertical panel, in use, is positioned on the working surface. A first horizontal panel is fixedly attachable to the vertical panel. A second horizontal panel is fixedly attachable to the vertical panel. The second horizontal panel and the first horizontal panel are spaced apart from each other, one vertically above the other. A first side vertical panel and a second side vertical panel are fixedly attachable to the vertical panel. The first side vertical panel and the second side vertical panel are fixedly attachable to the first outer edge of the first horizontal panel. The first side vertical panel and the second side vertical panel are fixedly attachable to the second outer edge of the second horizontal panel.
Piece of display furniture for disglaying goods
A piece of furniture, in particular in the form of a piece of display furniture and preferably in the form of a piece of display furniture for displaying goods, further preferably a piece of modular-construction furniture in the form of a rack or cabinet, comprising a plurality of furniture elements, designed preferably as display-furniture elements, in the form of surface-area elements (1, 2) and connecting elements (4), it being possible for the latter to be fitted on narrow sides of the surface-area elements (1, 2), wherein the connection on the narrow sides, it being possible for said connection to be released without the use of tools, takes place via a tongue structure which can be introduced into a groove structure, preferably via a tongue which can be introduced into a groove or via a multiple tongue, designed at least in the form of a double tongue, which can be introduced into a multiple groove, designed at least in the form of a double groove, and wherein the furniture elements (1, 2, 4) are secured via the groove/tongue connection in a direction transverse to the surface-area extent of the surface-area element (1, 2) and, in addition, counter to the direction of introduction via the interaction of at least one magnet (6), arranged on one furniture element, and of a further magnetically attractable part, arranged on the adjacent furniture element, such that two surface-area elements (2, 1) which are arranged one beside the other or directly at a corner are connected via just one connecting element (4).
