Technical Field of the invention
The present invention relates to a fastening device for connecting a furniture component to a panel.
Technical background Furniture components are known that are fixed to e.g. a furniture panel by screws. A drawback with the known systems is that it time consuming to assemble the furniture components to the furniture.
The above description of various known aspects is the applicant's characterization of such, and is not an admission that any of the above description is considered as prior art.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of certain embodiments of the present invention to provide an improvement over the above described techniques and known art. Particularly to reduce the time for assembling and to provide a to provide a tool-less assembling.
At least some of these and other objects and advantages that will be apparent from the description have been achieved by a first aspect of the invention that comprises a set comprising a panel and a fastening device for securing a furniture component, such as a hinge, an interior fitting, a carrying device or a slider, to the panel. The fastening device comprises an element with a first element surface comprising a protruding part which protrudes from the element surface. The panel comprises an edge surface and a panel surface. The edge surface is preferably essentially perpendicular to the panel surface. The panel surface comprises an insertion groove. The fastening device is being configured to be assembled to the panel with the first element surface facing the panel surface. The edge surface comprises an edge groove and a flexible tongue is arranged in the edge groove and the protruding part comprises a recess. The protruding part is configured to be inserted into the insertion groove and the flexible tongue is configured to cooperate with the recess for a locking of the fastening device to the panel.
An advantage of the invention may be that the fastening device may be locked to the panel without tools. The insertion groove preferably extends from the panel surface to the edge groove. The insertion groove may be a bottom-ended groove, such as a bottom ended drill hole, comprising a bottom surface which is positioned at a distance from the edge groove.
The element may comprise two or more of said protruding part and the panel surface may comprise two or more of said insertion groove. The insertion grooves are preferably arranged linearly. Each of the protruding parts is configured to be inserted into one of the insertion grooves.
The edge groove may be a longitudinal groove that extends in a longitudinal direction of the edge surface and edge groove may be covered by e.g. an edging.
The edge groove preferably extends from the edge surface to the insertion groove. The edge groove is preferably a bottom-ended groove, comprising a bottom surface which is positioned at a distance from the edge groove. The flexible tongue may be arranged at the bottom surface of the edge groove. The flexible tongue may be arranged between the recess and the bottom surface of the edge groove in a locked position of the fastening device and the panel.
The fastening device and the panel are preferably configured to be automatically locked together when the protruding part is inserted into the insertion groove and the element surface is arranged against panel surface. The protruding part is preferably rotatable relative the element. The fastening device is preferably unlocked from the panel by a rotation of the protruding part relative the element. The rotation may force the flexible tongue out of the recess. The protruding part may extend from the first element surface, through the element, and to a second element surface. The protruding part may comprise a grip device, such as a recess or a wing, at the second element surface.
The second element surface may comprise a fastener for securing the furniture component. The core of the panel may be a wood-based core, preferably made of MDF, HDF, OSB, WPC, plywood or particleboard. The core may also be a plastic core comprising thermosetting plastic or thermoplastic e.g. vinyl, PVC, PU or PET. The plastic core may comprise fillers. The panel may be provided with a decorative layer, such as a foil or a veneer, on one or more surfaces. The panel may also be of solid wood.
