An assembly/joining device (10) for parts or components of modular furniture and furnishing accessories of the shelf units, bookcases, cupboards, bed frames type and the like, including a pin (12) and a bushing (14) inserted in dedicated seats made in the components of the furniture to be joined and attached rigidly one with respect to the other, the pin (12) which includes a ferrule (24) elastically retractable internally to the pin apt to couple with the bushing (14) and co-operating with guide elements of the bushing (14) for a coupling/uncoupling between the pin (12) and bushing (14) during assembly/disassembly of the furniture parts.

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.

The present patent of the invention is applied to the furniture area and refers to a system for bending pieces and system for quick mounting applied to a cabinet body, specially steel cabinets, for joining took-apart pieces through fitting and bending to the steel piece itself causing the pieces to lock one another without needing screws, connectors, tools or skilled labor. The cabinet body presents bipartite backside section of which two pieces are joined by quick fitting in one piece which side section, top and bottom parts fit to, resulting in the box. This box having pieces non-locked yet receives in its four corners simple manual bends at the steel, forming the cabinet box for doors and shelves to be immediately fitted thereto.

A multipurpose piece of furniture (1) has four square panels (3, 4, 6, 7), i.e., a first vertical side panel (3), a second vertical side panel (4) arranged parallel thereto, a third panel (6) that is arranged between an edge (5) of the first side panel (3) and an edge of the second side panel (4) at a right angle to the first side panel (3) and the second side panel (4) and that connects the first side panel (3) and the second side panel (4) into a U-shaped piece of furniture. The fourth panel is an intermediate panel (7) that is inserted into the piece of furniture between the first side panel (3) and the second side panel (4) at a right angle thereto and at a right angle to the third panel (6). At their four corners, the first side panel (3) and the second side panel (4) have recesses (33, 34) and/or projections (19, 20, 21, 22), wherein these are recessed in the corner regions of the side panels (3, 4) extending substantially in the shape of an elongated rectangle into the edges (5) of the side panels, or extending out of the edges in the shape of an elongated rectangle and running at a right angle to each other in their directions of elongation at each of the corner regions.

A set of panels configured to be locked together by a flexible tongue which includes a flexible element and an opposite flexible element, wherein an end of the flexible element and an end of the opposite flexible element are connected to a connecting part, wherein an outer end of the flexible element and an outer end of the opposite flexible element each includes a protruding part, wherein the protruding part of the flexible element and the protruding part of the opposite flexible element are configured to cooperate during assembling of the first panel and the second panel with a guiding surface of the first panel such that the protruding part of the flexible element and the protruding part of the opposite flexible element are pushed towards a bottom surface of the insertion groove.

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.

A toy brick and storage space combination assembly includes a mounting brick that has a plurality of sides including a top side, a bottom side, a front side, rear side, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side. A plurality of male interconnection members is integrally coupled to the top side of the mounting brick and extending away therefrom. A female interconnection member extends into and is integral to the bottom side of the mounting brick. The male and female interconnection members releasably engage bricks from a building brick system and engage male and female interconnection members of other mounting bricks. The front side of the mounting brick is open to define an access to an interior of the mounting brick to facilitate the positioning of articles within the mounting brick. The access is the only opening into the interior.

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.

Provided is prefabricated furniture and, more particularly, to a prefabricated shelf (angle) having assembly holes and assembly protrusions for assembling frames together, the frames being more firmly assembled as a pressing protrusion portion protrudes from a narrow portion of an assembly hole so that an assembly protrusion is forcibly fitted by the pressing protrusion part. The prefabricated shelf includes a first frame in which a pair of assembly holes, each having a wide portion and a narrow portion, are arranged symmetrically, and a second frame in which a pair of assembly protrusions, corresponding to the assembly holes and each protruding to fit into the narrow portion, are arranged symmetrically, wherein the narrow portion includes a pressing protrusion portion configured to protrude from a first end thereof and press the assembly protrusion to a second side thereof to force the assembly protrusion into place.
