Abstract
An improved method for producing via a machine an assembled furniture item such as a drawer or box-shaped enclosure from individual panels is described. The method has the steps of holding a first and second panel so that these panels are spaced and parallel to each other; holding a third and fourth panel, in close proximity to the first and second panels, so that the third and fourth panels are spaced apart, parallel to each other, and on planes orthogonal to the lying planes of the first and second panels, and moving the first and/or second panel and/or third and fourth panels so that the edges of the first, second, third and fourth panels contact each other forming the drawer or box-shaped enclosure.

Method for producing by means of a machine an assembled furniture item, or an assembled portion of a furniture item such as a drawer or a box-shaped casing, from individual panels, comprising the steps of
- holding a first and second panel so that these panels are spaced apart and parallel to each other;
- holding a third and fourth panel, in close proximity to the first and second panels, so that the third and fourth panels are spaced apart, parallel to each other, and on planes orthogonal to the lying planes of the first and second panels, and then
- holding the panels so that they form in exploded view a drawer structure or a box-shaped casing, and then
- bringing the panels toward a same imaginary point located inside the space surrounded by the panels so that the edges of the first, second, third, and fourth panels end up in mutual contact, to form the drawer or box-shaped casing.
