Furniture assembly (17) comprising at least two furniture panels (1,2) which are connected at right angles to each other, comprising a connecting element (3) suitable for producing a perpendicular connection between two furniture panels (1,2), in which both the furniture panels (1,2) are provided with a bore (4, 80) for receiving at least a part of the connecting element (3), wherein the connecting element (3) comprises an elongate securing part (18) and a bent engagement part (19), wherein bore (80) in the one panel (2) is provided in the head end side of the panel (2), that the elongate securing part (18) of the connecting element (3) is at least partly provided in said bore (80) and that the end (7) of the bent engagement part (19) is penetrated into the wall of the bore of the other panel (1) and extends beyond the the side face (V3) of the one panel (2) in which the securing part (18) of the connecting element (3) is provided.
Connecting element (3) for connecting two furniture panels at right angles, wherein at least one furniture panel (1,2) is provided with a blind bore for receiving at least a part of the connecting element, wherein the connecting element (3) comprises an elongate securing part which is suitable, in use, to be at least partly provided in the one panel (1), and furthermore comprises a bent engagement part, the end of which is provided to, in use, penetrate into the wall of the bore (4) of the perpendicularly adjoining panel (2).
Method for forming an angled connection between two furniture panels (1, 2), wherein said method comprises the following steps:
- providing a first panel (2) having a head-end front (V2) and rear side, a top and bottom face and two side faces;
- providing a connecting element (3) comprising an elongate securing part (18) and a bent engagement part (19) in the head-end front (V2) and/or rear side of the first panel (2);
- providing a second panel (1) having a side (V1) with a bore (4) for receiving a part of the connecting element (3);
- producing the perpendicular connection, by turning the two panels (1, 2) with respect to each other so that the end (7) of the engagement part (19) penetrates the wall of the bore (4) of the second panel (1) and extends beyond the side face (V3) of the first panel (2).
A disassemblable drawer having a front panel (1), a rear piece (10), a bottom (11) and two side panels (2,13) with each a head-end front and rear side, a top and bottom face and two side faces, wherein the head-end front and/or rear side of the side panels (2, 13) is provided with a connecting element comprising an elongate securing part (18) and a bent engagement part (19), wherein the head-end front and/or rear side is provided with the elongate securing part and wherein the end of the bent engagement part extends beyond the side face.
