A multifunctional furniture module is described, equipped with a connector with free ends with a linear recess where a fixed pin is fitted into the side faces of a plate, such pin sliding in a guided manner and being stopped by engaging a lid on the connector body, thus eliminating slacks and ensuring the structuring and finishing of the piece, such connector allowing for the multifunctionality and customization of the set, providing opportunity for altering the plates, connectors and lids, which may feature variations in textures and colors, among others, allowing for countless aesthetic combinations, apart from making the dismantling process easier, without damaging the structures, unlike the state-of-the-art solution, which require a number of steps, including the formation of holes and projections, requiring specific tools, as well as a set of operations for the assembly, which requires the alignment of the projection with the drilling and even so, at times results in a misaligned assembly of the adjacent plates.

In an aspect there is provided a joint assembly 16 for panel board materials, comprising: a first member 14 comprising a tongue 22 extending from a surface 26 of the first member 14, the tongue 22 comprising a first groove 24 in a side 28 of the tongue 22; wherein at least a portion of the side 28 of the tongue 22 including the first groove 24 extends generally perpendicular to the surface 26 of the first member 14; and a second member 12 comprising: a second groove 32 in a surface 36 of the second member 12, the second groove 32 being arranged to receive the tongue 22; and a lip 34 extending into the second groove 32; wherein, in an assembled position, the tongue 22 is arranged to slot into the second groove 32 and the lip 34 is arranged to slot into the first groove 24 thereby to join the first and second members 14, 12.

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.

A connection system for removably connecting first and second pieces one to another. The connection system comprises: a tapering recess formed in, or connected to, the first piece. The tapering recess has an opening which is shaped and dimensioned to receive a wedge formed in, or connected to, the second piece. The wedge has a dovetail profile which is adapted to engage with walls of the recess. The wedge is shaped and dimensioned to slide in a first direction and thereby wedge into the tapered recess. Each piece has at least one aperture which receives a lock piece. The first and second pieces when connected and which when oriented in a user preferred direction, cause the lock piece to fall from a first aperture into a second aperture, thereby locking the wedge in the tapering recess and preventing movement in an opposite sliding direction.

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.

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.

Furniture carcass formed from panels assembled edge to edge by means of a groove (21) and loose tongue (11) assembly, a first (10) and a second panel(20) being joined by the edge of the first panel (10) hearing against the inner side (20a) of the second panel (20). The first panel (10) comprises a loose tongue (11), and the second panel (20) comprises, along the edge of its inner side (20a), a recess (21), complementary in shape to that of the edge with the bearing surface (15), a longitudinal assembly groove (21), complementary in shape to that of the tongue (11), and, beyond the groove (21), a bearing surface (25), recessed relative to the plane of its inner side (20a), for receiving the edge tearing surface (15). The assembly groove (21) has a bottom surface (22) and a small bearing surface (24) joined by a truncated concave ridge (27) and the loose tongue (11) has a complementary truncated ridge (17).

An assembled basket includes four plate members, four securing and engaging columns and a lower plate. Each plate member includes a body, and a first assembly element and a second assembly element oppositely disposed at two sides of the body. Each first assembly element has a first inclined surface and a first groove. Each second assembly element has a second inclined surface corresponding to the first inclined surface and a second groove in communication with the first groove. Each securing and engaging column includes a first column body, a second column body, and a connecting element connecting the first column body and the second column body. The four securing and engaging columns are correspondingly fastened at the four first grooves and the four first second grooves to form a cubic structure. The lower plate is disposed at a lower side of the four plate members.

A tenon groove connecting structure of a front frame and a side panel for a cabinet comprising a front frame and a side panel is disclosed. Wherein, a dovetail groove is formed in an inner edge of the front frame, shoulder grooves are formed in both sides of an opening part of the dovetail groove, and an inner part of the dovetail groove is shaped as inverted trapezoid, and a gap is reserved between at least one side face of the shoulder groove and a corresponding side face of the side panel, and the depth of each shoulder groove accounts for - of the depth of the dovetail groove and the width of the gap is 0.5 -2 mm.
