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 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 set of moulded panels, which can be assembled together to form a storage container for an automated storage and retrieval system, includes a rectangular base panel and four side panels. The base panel is moulded with a perimeter profile. Each of the side panels is moulded with a lower edge profile. The lower edge profiles of each side panel are slidingly engaged with the perimeter profile during assembly of the storage container. Each of the side panels are moulded with side edge profiles, which are to be slidingly engaged with the side edge profiles of adjacent side panels during assembly of the storage container.

A stick-shaped paper container according to the present invention is introduced herein, and comprises a covering body, a base seat and a sleeving unit, the respective entire structure of all which is integrally compression-molded with only rendering positive draft angles, respectively, only by a wet-fiber pulp-molding process applied for wet plant-fibrous pulps, thereby being capable of simplifying its mold assembly and lowering its mold cost. The covering body, the sleeving unit and the base seat are assembled together into the entire stick-shaped paper container having a container height-to-width ratio between 2˜5.5.

A modular cube for a vinyl record is an apparatus that stores, organizes, and displays multiple vinyl records. The apparatus includes a plurality of box walls and an interlocking mechanism. In order to create a cube-shape, the plurality of box walls includes a base wall, a cover wall, and a plurality of lateral walls. Each of the plurality of box walls latches with each other and is easily dismantled because of the interlocking mechanism. While connected to one another, the plurality of box walls house multiple vinyl records. In order to display a record casing across a wall of the plurality of lateral walls, the apparatus further includes at least one dowel. In order to further display each record casing and easily access the multiple records housed within the apparatus from any direction, the apparatus further includes a table adapter and a turntable.

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 for providing a dismantling groove in an element for a product to be assembled by a plurality of elements locked by a locking arrangement including a flexible tongue is disclosed. The method includes providing an insertion groove and a dismantling groove in the same element. The dismantling groove extends along the element between a first side and a second side and is configured for receiving the flexible tongue of the locking arrangement for locking the element to another element having a tongue groove. The dismantling groove is provided in the element such that it extends from the first side to the insertion groove and along a portion of the insertion groove, and is configured to receive a dismantling tool for dismantling the element from the other element. An element with an insertion groove and a dismantling groove is also disclosed.

An apparatus is provided having an open configuration and a closed configuration. The apparatus includes, while in the closed configuration, a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, a fourth panel, a fifth panel, and a sixth panel that together create a box partially enclosing a void space. The first panel is rotatably coupled to the fifth panel and the sixth panel, the second panel is rotatably coupled to the fourth panel and the sixth panel, and the third panel is rotatably coupled to the fourth panel and the fifth panel. The apparatus opens from the closed configuration to present the contents therein through a single degree-of-freedom mechanism where the first, second, and third panels become perpendicular to the fourth, fifth, and sixth panels while the fourth, fifth, and sixth panels become aligned in a same plane.
