Abstract: A system is provided comprising a first furniture part (200) and a locking arrangement comprising a connector bracket (1) and a locking element (4). The first furniture part (200) comprises a recess (201) having an oblong shape comprising an insertion portion (203) and a locking portion (204), wherein the locking portion (204) along an inner wall comprises a groove (207). The connector bracket (1) comprises a base portion (2) having an extension adapted to extend along the first furniture part (200), and at least one protrusion (3) having a longitudinal extension extending transverse the extension of the base portion (2) and comprising a rim (7) extending transverse the longitudinal extension of the protrusion (3).

Abstract: A kit of a hanging system includes one or more rails, one or more locking elements, one or more connecting pieces, and one or more ceiling attachments. The kit may be used for hanging curtains from a rail. Each locking element and each connecting piece are either used separately or together. Each ceiling attachment is used with a locking element. The locking element is either used to connect two rails to each other or to attach the connecting piece to the rail and to lock the connecting piece in a desired position on the rail.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fastening device for fastening to a furniture panel. The fastening device comprises at least two dowels for reception in furniture panel recesses. The dowels are each connected to lateral ends of lever arms. The lever arms are centrally connected to each other at a hinge joint. One dowel may be displaced in relation to the other dowel between a furniture panel fastening position and a furniture panel releasing position of the fastening device. A fastening system for joining furniture parts, comprising the fastening device, is also disclosed. A method for using the fastening system is described as well as furniture assemblies using the system.

Abstract: A joining element has an anchoring portion for in-depth anchoring in the object and a head portion arranged proximally of the anchoring portion with respect to an insertion axis. The head portion has a lateral outer surface that has a structure that is well-defined, especially within tight tolerances. The joining element is positioned relative to an object of a non-liquefiable material such that the anchoring portion reaches into an opening of the object or is placed adjacent a mouth thereof. Then, the joining element is pressed towards a distal direction, to press the anchoring portion into the opening, while mechanical vibration energy is coupled into the joining element by a tool, in an amount and for a time sufficient for liquefaction of a portion of the thermoplastic material to cause interpenetration of the thermoplastic material into structures of the object.

Abstract: A first object is anchored in a second object. The first object has a material with thermoplastic properties, and the second material has a material that is solid and is penetrable by the first material when in a liquefied state. The second object has an insertion face with an opening having a mouth in the insertion face, and the first object has an insert portion that for anchoring is placed in the opening or about the mouth thereof. For anchoring, energy suitable for liquefaction of the first material impinges in an amount and for a time sufficient for at least partial liquefaction of the first material and interpenetration of the first and second materials. The second object, around the opening, has an anisotropic strength with respect to forces perpendicular to the opening axis.
