Abstract
A set for a furniture product includes a panel, an adjacent panel and a locking device. The panel includes a groove and at least one hole connected to the groove via an opening. The adjacent panel includes a first edge that is configured to be arranged in the groove of the panel. The locking device is configured to lock the first edge of the adjacent panel in the groove of the panel. The locking device includes a cylinder and a lever connected to the cylinder. The cylinder is configured to be arranged in the hole in the panel. The cylinder is configured to be displaceable in the hole between a first mounting position and a second locking position by rotation of the cylinder.
Claims28
A set comprising a panel, an adjacent panel and a locking device, wherein the panel comprises a groove and at least one hole connected to the groove via an opening, wherein the adjacent panel comprises a first edge which is configured to be arranged in the groove of the panel, wherein the locking device is configured to lock the first edge of the adjacent panel in the groove of the panel, wherein the locking device comprises a cylinder and a lever connected to the cylinder, wherein the cylinder is configured to be arranged in the hole in the panel, wherein the cylinder is configured to be displaceable in said hole between a mounting position and a locking position by means of rotation of said cylinder, wherein the cylinder comprises a first locking surface configured to engage with the adjacent panel by means of a clockwise rotation of said cylinder for locking the adjacent panel to the panel, wherein the cylinder comprises, opposite the first locking surface, a second locking surface configured to engage with said adjacent panel by means of a counter-clockwise rotation of said cylinder for locking the adjacent panel to the panel, wherein the locking device comprises a plane, wherein the first locking surface is provided on a first side of said plane and the second locking surface is provided on an opposite second side of said plane, wherein the cylinder comprises an essentially planar surface configured to be arranged adjacent and/or facing the opening in said mounting position, wherein said planar surface is orthogonal to the plane and a bottom base of the locking device, and wherein a longitudinal direction of the lever is perpendicular to the essentially planar surface.
A set comprising a panel, an adjacent panel and a locking device, wherein the panel comprises a groove and at least one hole connected to the groove via an opening, wherein the adjacent panel comprises a first edge which is configured to be arranged in the groove of the panel, wherein the locking device is configured to lock the first edge of the adjacent panel in the groove of the panel, wherein the locking device comprises a cylinder and a lever connected to the cylinder, wherein the cylinder is configured to be arranged in the hole in the panel, wherein the cylinder is configured to be displaceable in said hole between a mounting position and a locking position by means of rotation of said cylinder, wherein the cylinder comprises a locking surface configured to engage with the adjacent panel by means of a rotation of said cylinder for locking the adjacent panel to the panel, wherein the cylinder comprises a mounting surface configured to be arranged adjacent and/or facing the opening in said mounting position, wherein the cylinder comprises a first width and a second width in a plane transverse to a longitudinal centre axis of the cylinder, wherein the first width is parallel to the mounting surface and the second width is transverse to the mounting surface, wherein the first width is greater than the second width, wherein the second width is configured to be perpendicular to the first edge in the mounting position, wherein the locking device is configured to be rotated past a position in which the first width is perpendicular to the first edge and to the locking position, and wherein the lever comprises a lever locking surface, wherein the lever locking surface is configured to cooperate with the adjacent panel in the locking position.
