Title:
AN ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FOR CONNECTING FURNITURE ELEMENTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/044235
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
The invention provides an assembly system for furniture. The assembly system comprises an elongated track (1) element which is attachable to a first furniture element and which defines a channel (3) extending in an axial direction, and a fitting element (2) with a first locking portion (4). The track element and fitting element cooperate to define three different orientations; an open mutual orientation wherein the first locking portion is allowed passage into and out of the channel, a closed mutual orientation wherein the first locking portion is movable in the axial direction within the channel, and a fixed mutual orientation wherein the first locking portion is locked immovably relative to the track element. The assembly system can replace traditional assembly sets comprising a large amount of screws, nails and the like, and thereby improve the assembling of furniture elements. Furthermore, the assembly system offers a simple way of assembling the furniture, merely by reorientation of the fitting element relative to the elongated track element, whereby the use of tools can be avoided.
