Embodiment Construction

[0011] Figure 1A and 1B A situation is shown in which a device according to the present disclosure may be useful. Typically, the product to be assembled comprises a plurality of parts, of which a first part 1 and a second part 3 are shown in the form of panels. When assembling the parts, an edge-near surface 5 of the first part (the surface blocked in FIG. 1 ) is brought against an edge surface 7 of the second part 3, thereby establishing a mutual contact surface, at Here the parts touch. The contact surface can be curved, but is more likely to be flat in most cases.

[0012] A typical situation when this is done is when assembling cabinets for kitchens. This involves assembling several such panels. The same may be the case when assembling bookshelves or other storage systems or any other type of product.

[0013] In the present disclosure, means for facilitating assembly are provided in the abutting portions of the surfaces 5 and 7 . This is done by providing a first t...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a device for facilitating assembling of a product involving attaching a first surface (5), of a first part, to a second surface (7), of a second part. The device comprises a first unit (9) intended to be embedded in the first surface and a second unit (11) unit intended to be embedded in the second surface, and having a cavity that is open at the second surface. The first unit comprises a piston (17), which is moveable between a retracted position and an extended position, where the piston extends out of the first unit. The second unit comprises an activator part that interacts magnetically with the piston such that the piston moves to the extended position, extending into the cavity, when the first and second surfaces are in contact and the first and second openings are aligned.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for facilitating the assembly of a product, wherein the assembly includes attaching a first part to a second part such that a first surface of the first part and the second part A second surface of the member has a mutual contact surface. Background technique [0002] Such devices may be useful, such as when assembling the frames of kitchen cupboards or drawers, and among many other products, especially when the end user assembles a product in his or her home without professional assistance . In many cases, different (eg laminated) panels are assembled, usually by attaching one edge of one panel to a flat surface of another panel. A means to facilitate assembly may include a wooden plug that fits into a hole in a surface of a panel. The length of the plug may be twice the depth of the hole such that half of the wooden plug extends out of the hole. When the panels are mated together, the protruding half can be inser...
