A joint for furniture uses alternating tabs and slots formed along an edge of first and second furniture panels. The panels are joined together so that tabs in the first panel are disposed in slots in the second panel and tabs in the second panel are disposed in slots in the first panel. This arrangement causes the slots to flex outwardly and the tabs to flex inwardly once assembled and creates residual stress in the assembled joint which stiffens the joint.

A composed element, such as a piece of furniture, wherein the composed element comprises at least a rear wall, as well as a number of constructional parts forming a whole in which the rear wall has to be provided. The rear wall forms the rear side of the composed element and includes one or more rear wall parts. The composed element comprises seats for installing at least one of the rear wall parts, which are configured such that the rear wall part can be slid into the seats starting from the rear side of the composed element from a position differing from the final plane in which the rear wall part will be situated in the final condition.

Tenon-joints-attached Frames for Aluminum Furniture has features that include the male tenon and the female tenon which once fixed together and assembled to Aluminum Furniture Frame 1 and Aluminum Furniture Frame 2 in order. Once assembled, the male tenon and the female tenon will hide inside the grooves aforementioned where the male tenon which is characterized by a wide area and a rectangular body works by being inserted into Aluminum Furniture Frame 1 to fix them together. Next to the wide area is constructed a narrow area that is characterized by being a sheet that is perpendicular to the wide area. The walls of the narrow area will have at least one extrusion that works by inserting the extrusions into the intrusions of the female tenon. The female tenon, which is characterized by a rectangular body, works by being inserted into Aluminum Furniture Frame 2 to fix them together. One position on the rectangular body will have at least one intrusion to facilitate the fitting with the extrusions from the male tenon wherein the male tenon and the female tenon will be fixed together in a vertical direction.

In a set of panels for an assembled product, a first panel and a second panel may be assembled with a third panel. An end surface of the third panel includes a first tongue and a second tongue. The first panel and the second panel are configured to be arranged with their respective end surfaces facing each other. A first tongue of the third panel is configured to be arranged in an edge groove of the first panel and a second tongue of the third panel is configured to be received in an edge groove of the second panel to join the panels at least in a first direction. The first panel and the second panel may be of a first panel type, and the third panel may be of a second panel type. A corner element may be connected to a side panel of an assembled product.

A structure includes a first body member including a first interfacing side edge and a first interconnecting component at the first interfacing side edge and a second body member identical to the first body member, the second body member including a second interfacing side edge and a second interconnecting component at the second interfacing side edge. The first interconnecting component engages with the second interconnecting component to secure the first body member and the second body member together.

A set including a first panel, a second panel and a mechanical locking device for locking the first panel to the second panel, the mechanical locking device includes an insertion groove at the second edge surface, a flexible tongue positioned in the insertion groove and an edge tongue including a tongue groove, the flexible tongue includes a first locking surface and a second locking surface, the first locking surface is configured to cooperate with the tongue groove for locking of the first panel to the second panel in a first direction when the flexible tongue is positioned in the insertion groove in a first orientation, the second locking surface of the flexible tongue is configured to cooperate with the tongue groove for a locking of the first panel to the second panel in a first direction when the flexible tongue is positioned in the insertion groove in a second orientation.

A method of assembling a set of panels, to obtain an assembled product, including connecting a first edge of a first panel, with a first main plane, to a first edge of a second panel, with a second main plane, including arranging a third panel with a third main plane perpendicular to the first main plane, arranging a first edge of the third panel at a second edge of the second panel and arranging the third main plane with a second angle in relation to the second main plane; connecting the first edge of the third panel to the second edge of the second panel, by displacing the third panel and/or the second panel; and connecting a second edge of the third panel to a second edge of the first panel and connecting the first edge of the third panel to the second edge of the second panel.

A fixing mechanism for fixing a first panel to a second panel, having a first plate with a first longitudinal guide, the first guide comprising a first aperture at a first end of the first guide connected to a second aperture at a second end of the first guide via a longitudinal slot, the first aperture is greater than the second aperture; a second plate having a second guide complementary to the first guide, a retaining portion, an interlocking member configured to fasten the second plate to the first plate via the first and second guides and also to fasten the first and second plates to the first panel. The first plate and the second plate are fastened to the second panel via a second fastening means. The fixing mechanism advantageously provides a means for securely fixing two panels together, such as furniture panels, using minimal components.

A cabinet assembly including a first frame having a first open channel, a second frame spaced from the first frame with the second frame having a second open channel, and a plurality of beams extending between the first and second frames and interlocking to each of the first and second frames.
