    摘要: In as first aspect of the invention, this is achieved by a joining system for furniture parts comprising female coupling recess formed in a first furniture part, a male coupling tongue projecting from an adjoining second furniture part, said female coupling recess being adapted to receive the male coupling tongue, said male coupling tongue comprising a first locking element configured for a snap joint interlocking engagement with a matching second locking element in said female coupling recess, the male coupling tongue being configured to be more flexible than the female coupling recess. The joining system comprises an upper guiding surface arranged on a first side of the female coupling recess on the first furniture part, forming an essentially non-resilient guide for the male coupling tongue upon insertion thereof, limiting movement of said male coupling tongue in a direction
    towards said first side of the female coupling recess. The joining system comprises a lower guiding surface arranged on a second side of the female coupling recess on the first furniture part, located opposite to said first side thereof, said lower guiding surface is configured to force the male coupling tongue to resiliently deflect whilst in engagement with said upper guiding surface upon further insertion thereof in a deflection movement towards said first side of the female coupling recess, until the first locking element of the male coupling tongue snaps together with the matching second locking element of the female coupling recess.

    摘要: A joining system for floor panels includes a groove and a tongue on opposite floor panel sides. The tongue is shaped for vertical locking engagement with the groove of an adjoining floor panel in a direction perpendicular to the sides of the panels and parallel to a horizontal floor plane. Two locking recesses are formed in a lower portion of the groove. A first recess is located in an internal portion and a second is located in a lip portion. Two locking lugs are formed in a lower portion of the tongue for engagement with the recesses. A first lug extends downwardly from a tip portion of the tongue and a second lug extends downwardly from a root portion. The first recess and the first lug have curved surfaces. The second recess and the second lug have inclined surfaces.

    摘要: The invention relates to Joining system for floor panels (1). The floor panels (1) are provided with coupling parts (20) on at least two opposite sides (30, 40) for joining floor panels (1) together. The coupling parts (20) include a groove (50) and a tongue (60), where the groove (50) is shaped for insertion of a tongue (60) on an adjoining floor panel (1). The tongue (60) is shaped for It locking engagement by means of integrated locking means (70) with the groove (50) in a direction perpendicular to said sides (30, 40) and parallel to a horizontal floor plane (FP) defined by the joined panels (1). The invention is especially characterized in that: - the locking means (70) comprises dual consecutive locking recesses (80, 90) arranged in a lower portion (95) of the groove (50), a first locking recess (80) of which being located in an internally extending portion (100) within the groove (50) and a second locking recess (90) of which being located in a lip portion (110) protruding from an entrance opening (120) of the groove (50), the locking means (70) further comprises dual consecutive locking lugs (130, 140) arranged in a lower portion (150) of the tongue (60) for horizontally interlocking engagement with said dual consecutive locking recesses (80, 90) in the groove (50), a first locking lug (130) of which extending downwardly from a lower tip portion (160) of the tongue (60) and a second locking lug (140) of which extending downwardly from a root portion (170) of the tongue (60), wherein the first locking recess (80) and the first locking lug (130) are provided with matching curved horizontal locking surfaces (180, 190) and wherein the second locking recess (90) and the second locking lug (140) are provided with matching inclined horizontal locking surfaces (200, 210).
