Abstract
A set of panels including a first panel and a second panel configured to assume a locked state in which a first main plane of the first panel is arranged at an angle of between 30° and 150° relative to a second main plane of the second panel. A separate tongue arranged in an insertion groove provided in a groove of the first panel is configured to cooperate with a locking portion of the recess provided in the edge section of the second panel for locking the panels in a first direction perpendicular to the first main plane, and the edge section is configured to cooperate with the groove for locking the panels in a second direction parallel to the first main plane. The locking portion is disposed at a locking angle below 45° with respect to the second main plane and/or the first direction.

A set of panels comprising a first panel and a second panel configured to assume a locked state in which a first main plane of the first panel is arranged at an angle (ϕ) of between 30° and 150°, relative to a second main plane of the second panel, the set comprising:
- a groove provided in the first panel,
- an edge section of the second panel,
- an insertion groove provided in the groove of the first panel, a separate tongue being arranged in the insertion groove, and
- a recess provided in the edge section of the second panel,
- wherein the separate tongue is configured to cooperate with a locking portion of the recess for locking the first and second panels to each other in a first direction perpendicular to the first main plane,
- wherein the edge section of the second panel is configured to cooperate with the groove of the first panel for locking the first and second panels to each other in a second direction parallel to the first main plane and extending towards a side edge surface of the first panel, and
- wherein the locking portion is disposed at a locking angle with respect to the first direction, the locking angle (α) not exceeding 40°.
