Abstract
A set of panels including a first panel with a first main plane and a second panel with a second main plane is described. The first panel and the second panel are provided with a mechanical locking device for locking of a first edge of the first panel to a second edge of the second panel at a junction plane, wherein the first main plane is essentially perpendicular to the second main plane and the junction plane is extending at an angle to the first main plane and the second main plane between the first main plane and the second main plane.

A set of panels comprising a first panel with a first main plane and a second panel with a second main plane, wherein the first panel and the second panel are configured for locking of a first edge of the first panel to a second edge of the second panel at a junction plane, wherein the first main plane is essentially perpendicular to the second main plane and the junction plane is extending at an angle to the first main plane and the second main plane between the first main plane and the second main plane, wherein:
- an entirety of the first edge extends from a first inner-most corner to a first outer-most corner, the first inner-most corner and the first outer-most corner being located on the junction plane when the first and second panels are locked,
- the second edge comprises a first edge tongue,
- a first panel surface of the first panel comprises an edge groove, wherein the first edge tongue is configured to cooperate with the edge groove for locking together the first edge and the second edge in a first direction which is perpendicular to the second main plane,
- the second edge comprises a second edge tongue,
- the second edge tongue comprises a tongue groove, and
- the first edge comprises a locking element, said locking element is configured to cooperate with the tongue groove for locking together the first edge and the second edge in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first main plane.
A set of panels comprising a first panel with a first main plane and a second panel with a second main plane, wherein the first panel and the second panel are configure for locking of a first edge of the first panel to a second edge of the second panel at a junction plane, wherein the first main plane is essentially perpendicular to the second main plane and the junction plane is extending at an angle to the first main plane and the second main plane between the first main plane and the second main plane, wherein:
- the second edge comprises a first edge tongue,
- a first panel surface of the first panel comprises an edge groove, wherein the first edge tongue is configured to cooperate with the edge groove for locking together the first edge and the second edge in a first direction which is perpendicular to the second main plane,
- the second edge comprises a second edge tongue,
- the second edge tongue comprises a tongue groove,
- the first edge comprises a locking element, said locking element is configured to cooperate with the tongue groove for locking together the first edge and the second edge in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first main plane,
- wherein the locking element comprises a flexible tongue arranged in an insertion groove, and
- wherein the junction plane extends through the insertion groove.
A set of panels comprising a first panel with a first main plane and a second panel with a second main plane, wherein the first panel and the second panel are configured for locking of a first edge of the first panel to a second edge of the second panel at a junction plane, wherein the first main plane is essentially perpendicular to the second main plane and the junction plane is extending at an angle to the first main plane and the second main plane between the first main plane and the second main plane, wherein:
- the second edge comprises a first edge tongue,
- a first panel surface of the first panel comprises an edge groove, wherein the first edge tongue is configured to cooperate with the edge groove for locking together the first edge and the second edge in a first direction which is perpendicular to the second main plane,
- the second edge comprises a second edge tongue,
- the second edge tongue comprises a tongue groove,
- the first edge comprises a locking element, said locking element is configured to cooperate with the tongue groove for locking together the first edge and the second edge in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first main plane,
- wherein the first edge tongue has a first edge tongue surface, wherein an angle between the first edge tongue surface and the second main plane is about 45°.
