A panel, which, at two opposite edges, includes coupling parts that allow joining by a downward movement, the coupling parts including a male part that fits in a female part, wherein the male part comprises a laterally protruding lip with at a lower side a downward facing support surface.

A siding splice joint contains: a body, multiple washers, and multiple screws. The body includes a first face, a second face, and multiple through holes. A respective washer is injection molded on a respective through hole and includes a thin portion, a thick portion, a connection portion, and a lock orifice. The thick portion of the respective washer is connected on the first face, the thick portion of the respective washer is connected on the second face, and the connection portion is inserted through the respective through hole. A respective screw includes a head, an extension shank integrally extending from the head, and a tip formed on the extension shank away from the head. The extension shank is screwed in the locking orifice of the respective washer so that the respective screw is not locked on but connected with the respective washer.

A counter mount fluid dispenser has a spout having an opening for dispensing a fluid. The connection shaft extends downwardly from the spout. A swivel base is mounted to the connection shaft. The swivel base swivels relative to the connection shaft. The swivel base includes a mounting shaft having a mounting shaft nut that is configured with the spout to engage a countertop by clamping force. The mounting shaft nut has a mounting shaft nut lower extension. A mounting shaft nut external thread is formed on an external surface of the mounting shaft nut lower extension. A mounting shaft nut retainer is threaded to the mounting shaft nut lower extension.

A number of magnetically assisted latch mechanisms are presented, where the latching and unlatching action is done with reduced user effort, therefore promoting speed and efficiency without sacrificing the strength of the bond of the connected components. The latching mechanisms are designed to secure panels or other similar small and large mostly flat components. The latching method is done by a rotating component that takes all the separating load once rotated into the locked position. The rotatable lock, or hammer, is also locked itself into position to prevent accidental movement by the hammer.

Panels are shown which are provided with a mechanical locking system allowing perpendicular connection with a snap action. A set of panels including a first and a second panel, an edge of the second panel is insertable into a groove of the first panel, when the panels are arranged essential perpendicular to each other, to obtain a mechanical connection between the first and the second panel, when the second panel is displaced essentially perpendicularly to the first panel.

The present invention provides a box latch. The box latch is provided with two wedge-shaped pins symmetrically arranged around its center, and the two wedge-shaped pins are movable into a wedge-shaped notch formed by mating parts of two spliced adjacent boxes and mating with the wedge-shaped pin to lock the two adjacent boxes. The two wedge-shaped pins are symmetrically arranged around its center such that only one box latch is required to lock two adjacent boxes together, reducing the number of splicing steps and box latches, further saving manpower and material resources. In addition, the wedge-shaped pin and the wedge-shaped notch are shaped and configured to mate with each other such that self-locking occurs when they are locked, thus providing a stable connection of the boxes.

The invention relates to a floor panel, in particular a laminated floor panel. The invention also relates to a floor covering consisting of a plurality of mutually coupled floor panels according to the invention. The invention further relates to a method for mutually coupling two floor panels, in particular laminated floor panels, according to the invention.

A plate-to-plate connecting structure includes a first plate piece and a second plate piece. The first plate piece and the second plate piece have a first concave/convex connecting side and a second concave/convex connecting side connected with a corresponding concave/convex means; the first concave/convex connecting side has a first top edge and a second bottom edge, and the second concave/convex connecting side has a second top edge and a second bottom edge; the first top edge and the first bottom edge have top concave parts and bottom concave parts; the second top edge and the second bottom edge have top convex parts and bottom convex parts; the top convex parts are protruded into the corresponding top concave parts for forming a mutual blocking status; and the bottom convex parts are protruded into the corresponding bottom concave parts for forming the mutual blocking status.
