A second edge of the fifth panel may be provided with the other locking devices (not shown) for connecting adjacent edges of adjacent boards.
    [0071] Figure 2C shows a CS 2C cross section of the second and third panels 2, 4. The third panel is in this embodiment provided with a dismounting groove 33 adapted for the insertion of a dismounting tool, which pushes the flexible tongue to the insertion groove, which facilitates the disassembly of the second and third panels.
    [0072] Figure 3A shows a furniture, such as a bookcase, which comprises eight of the locking devices, arranged with one side of the frame facing downwards. The furniture comprises a first panel 1, for example a side of the bookcase, connected at a first edge to a first edge of a second panel 2, for example the top of the bookcase, by one of the locking devices. A first edge of a third panel 4, for example a rectangular back part of the bookcase, is connected to a second edge of the second panel by another of the locking devices. An edge section of a second edge of the third panel 4 can be inserted into a groove of the edge section of a second edge of the first panel. A first edge of a fourth panel 5, for example a bottom of the bookcase, is connected to a third edge of the first panel by another of said locking devices. A third edge of the third panel 4 is connected to a second edge of the fourth panel 5 by another one of said locking devices. A first edge of a fifth panel 6, for example a side of the bookcase, is connected to a third edge of the fourth panel 5 by another of said locking devices, and a third edge of the fifth panel is connected to a third edge of the second panel, by another of said locking devices.

The locking device on each of the first and third edges, respectively, of the third panel may comprise two or more flexible tongues 30. A sixth panel 3, for example a bookcase shelf, which is arranged parallel to the first and fourth panels, is connected, by another of the locking devices, on a first edge to the first panel, and on a third edge is connected, by another of the locking devices, to the fifth panel. The flexible tongue of the locking device at the first and third edges, respectively, of the sixth panel is preferably disposed on the edge section 22. The third panel is preferably slidably connected to the first and third edges in order to facilitate the disassembly.
    [0073] Figure 3B shows a CS 3B cross section of the first panel 1, the third panel 4 and the fifth panel 6. The third panel 4 can comprise two or more plates 4a-b locked by the mechanical locking system described above.
    [0074] Figure 4A shows an embodiment of a method for assembling the assembled product described under Figures 2A-C.

The third panel can be displaced in a diagonal direction 41 such that the first and second edges of the third panel are connected to the second edge of the first panel and the second edge of the second panel at the same time. A preferred alternative for assembling the panels comprises: • arranging a first panel 1, with a first main plane, perpendicular to a second panel 2 with a second main plane, wherein the first main plane is perpendicular to the second main plane; connecting, by hand, a first edge of the first panel 1 to a first edge of the second panel, by linearly displacing the first panel and/or the second panel; • the arrangement of a third panel 4, with a third main plane, perpendicular to the second and third panels, where the third main plane is perpendicular to the first and second main plane; • the connection, by hand, of a second edge of the third panel 4 to a second edge of the second panel, by linearly shifting 43 the third panel 4 and/or the second panel; connecting, by hand, a first edge of the third panel 4 to a second edge of the first panel 1, linearly displacing 42 the third panel and/or the first panel and 1;• the arrangement of a fourth panel 5, with a fourth main plane, perpendicular to the first and third panels, where the fourth main plane is parallel to the second plane, and the connection, by hands, of a first edge of a fourth panel 5 at a third edge of the first panel 1 by linearly displacing the fourth main panel 5 and/or the first panel 1; and• the arrangement of a fifth panel 6, with a fifth main plane perpendicular to the third and fourth panels, the fifth main plane being parallel to the first plane, and connecting, by hand, a first edge of the fifth panel to a third edge of the second panel, and a third edge of a fifth panel to a third edge of the fourth panel, by linearly displacing the fifth main panel 6 and/or the second and fourth panels.
    [0075] Each linear displacement is preferably performed in a direction parallel to the third principal plane.
    [0076] The first edge of the third panel 4, in this alternative, is displaceably connected to the first edge. Another alternative is to move the third panel in the second direction 43 perpendicular to the second panel and to subsequently move the third panel in the first direction 43 perpendicular to the first panel. The second edge of the third panel 4 in this mode is displaceably connected to the second edge.
    [0077] Figure 4B shows that a corner section between, for example, the first and second panels can be provided with a cover plate, in order to hide the locking device.
    [0078] Figure 5 shows a furniture, such as a drawer, which comprises six of the locking devices, arranged with one side of the frame coverings facing down. The furniture comprises a first panel 1, for example an inner side of the drawer, connected at a first edge to a first edge of a second panel 2, for example a side of the drawer, by one of the locking devices. A first edge of a third panel 4, for example a rectangular bottom of the drawer, is connected to a second edge of the second panel by another of the locking devices. An edge section of a second edge of the third panel 4 can be inserted into a groove of the edge section of a second edge of the first panel. A first edge of a fourth panel 5, for example a drawer side, is connected to a third edge of the first panel by another of said locking devices. A third edge of the third panel 4 is connected to a second edge of the fourth panel 5 by another one of said locking devices. A first edge of a fifth panel 6, for example a front panel of the drawer, is subsequently connected to a third edge of the fourth panel 5 by another of said locking devices, and a third edge of the fifth panel is connected to a third edge of the second panel, by another of said locking devices. An edge section of a fourth edge of the third panel 4 can be arranged in a groove of the edge section on a second edge of the fifth panel 5. The locking device on each of the first and third edges, respectively, of the third The panel may comprise two or more flexible tabs 30. The third panel is preferably slidably connected to the first and third edges in order to facilitate disassembly. A preferred alternative for assembling the panels comprises: • arranging a first panel 1, with a first main plane, perpendicular to a second panel 2 with a second main plane, wherein the first main plane is perpendicular to the second main plane; connecting, by hand, a first edge of the first panel 1 to a first edge of the second panel, by linearly displacing the first panel and/or the second panel; • the arrangement of a third panel 4, with a third main plane, perpendicular to the second and third panels, where the third main plane is perpendicular to the first and second main planes; • the connection, by hand, of a second edge of the third panel 4 to a second edge of the second panel, when linearly shifting 43 the third panel 4 and/or the second panel; • the arrangement of a fourth panel 5, with a fourth main plane perpendicular to the first and third panels, the fourth main plane being parallel to the second the main plane, and the simultaneous connection, by hand, by linearly displacing the fourth panel 5, from a first edge of a fourth panel 5 to a third edge of the first panel 1 and a third edge of the third panel 3 to a second edge of the fourth panel 5; and• the arrangement of a fifth panel 6, with a fifth main plane perpendicular to the third and fourth panels, the fifth main plane being parallel to the first main plane, and connecting, by hand, a first edge of the fifth panel to a third edge of the second panel, and from a third edge of a fifth panel to a third edge of the fourth panel, by linearly displacing the fifth panel 6.
    [0079] Figures 6A-B show alternative modalities of the locking device. Modalities are shown with a 40 gauge groove on one or both sides of the edge section. The tongue groove 10 can be symmetrical, such that the same dismounting tool can be used in opposite positions of the locking device, i.e., locking devices inverted on the mirror. The edge section groove may be provided with a guide surface 32 which facilitates insertion of the edge section into the edge section groove. The edge section groove can be provided with two opposite tongue 10 grooves. The two opposite tongue grooves can easily be made by an end cutter, for example, by an on-site craftsman.
    [0080] Figure 7A shows that the arrangement with two opposing tongue grooves 10 can be provided with two flexible tongues 30.
    [0081] Figures 7B-C show the disassembly of the locking device by inserting a symmetrical dismantling tool 90 into a symmetrical tongue groove 10 .
    [0082] Figures 7D-E show alternative embodiments provided with a disassembly recess 34. These embodiments may be an alternative to the embodiment shown in Figure 2C if, for example, it is desirable to unlock the locking device from the interior of a furniture, such as a drawer, a box or a book. These modalities can also be used to connect the fifth panel to the second and fourth panels in the modality shown in Figure 5A. Tongue 30 is disposed in the groove of the edge section in Figure 7B and in the edge section in Figure 7E. The edge section is provided with a dismounting groove 34 which is adapted to a dismounting tool 90. The tongue 30 springs back in the displacement groove 20, and unlocks the locking device when the dismounting tool is inserted into the recess of disassembly. The disassembly recess can be covered by a cover plate (not shown). Arrangements with the dismounting groove or recess are particularly advantageous for the arrangement which does not have the tongue groove which is accessible from an outer end of the tongue groove for the insertion of a withdrawal tool. However, the disassembly groove or recess arrangements can be used to connect all adjacent panels in order to facilitate disassembly.
    [0083] Figure 8A shows an embodiment of the mechanical locking system comprising a tongue 64 on a first edge of a first plate that cooperates with a tongue groove 50 on a second edge of a second plate to lock the first and second plates in a first direction. Furthermore, the locking system comprises a projecting strip 70 with a locking panel 71 on the second edge. The locking panel 71 cooperates with a locking groove 80 on the first edge to lock the first and second plates in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The plates and locking system are preferably arranged on the assembled product, with the locking strip facing the direction that is to be loaded. The locking system can remain locked if so arranged.
    [0084] Figure 8B shows another mode of a panel, such as a back or bottom panel, comprising a first plate 8a and a second plate 8b provided with a mechanical locking system configured to lock the first plate 4a and the second board 4b on each other.
    [0085] The first main plane of the first board is essentially parallel to a second main plane of the second board, wherein the panel comprises a first face 85 and an opposite second face 86 which are parallel to a main plane of the panel, wherein the system of mechanical locking comprises: a first pawl 64 provided on a first edge of the first plate 8a, wherein the first pawl is configured to cooperate with a first pawl groove 50 provided on a second edge of the second plate 8b to lock the first and the second panels to each other in a first vertical direction V1; a second tongue 72 on the second edge of the second plate 8b, wherein the second tongue is configured to cooperate with a second tongue groove 73 on the first edge of the first panel 8a to lock the first and second panels to each other in a second vertical direction V2; a first pair of locking surfaces 83 provided on the first face for locking the first plate 8a and the second plate 8b one against the other in a first horizontal direction H1; and a second pair of locking surfaces 84 provided on the second face for locking the first plate 8a and the second plate 8b together in a second horizontal direction H2.
    [0086] The first pair of locking surfaces 83 is preferably essentially vertical. The second pair of locking surfaces 84 is also preferably essentially vertical.
    [0087] The first pawl 64 and the first pawl groove 50 cooperate in a third pair of locking surfaces 87 which are preferably arranged essentially horizontally.
    The second tongue 72 and the second tongue groove 73 cooperate in a fourth pair of locking surfaces 74 which are preferably arranged at an angle 88 relative to the main plane of the panel which is greater than zero. Angle 88 is selected to allow the first plate to be locked onto the second plate by an angling movement of the first panel, where the first tongue 64 is inserted into the first tongue groove 50, as shown in Figure 8C.
    [0089] The first face 85 is arranged upward, or in the direction in which the larger load F1 is likely to be applied, to prevent the first and second plates from being unlocked by an inverted angulation movement.
    [0090] The second face 86 is disposed downward, or in the direction in which the minor load F2 is likely to be applied to the panel. The second tongue and the tongue groove can provide a resistance to the unlocking of the first and second plates by an inverted angulation movement.
    [0091] Angle 88 can be in the range of about 30° to about 60°. The angle is preferably about 45°.
    [0092] Figure 9 shows a preferred embodiment of the locking device for locking a panel and an adjacent panel to each other of the panels 1, 2, 4, 5 of the frame. The locking device comprises a first thickness 55 of a core material between a groove 21 of the edge section and a first edge. The first thickness is greater than a second minimum thickness 54 of a core material of an edge section 22. The ratio of the first thickness 55 to the second minimum thickness 54 can be at least about 1.25; preferably at least about 1.5; and more preferably at least about 2. A preferred ratio of the first thickness 55 to the second minimum thickness 54 is in the range of from about 1.1 to about 3.
    [0093] One embodiment comprises a groove 21 of the edge section comprising a first wall 56 and a second wall 57, wherein the first wall is closer to an edge of the panel than the second wall. The first thickness 55 is preferably measured between the first wall 56 and the first edge 53. The first and second walls 56, 57 are preferably connected by a bottom wall 58.
    [0094] The edge section 22 may comprise a first wall and an opposite second wall, wherein the tongue groove 10 is provided in the first wall. The second minimum thickness 54 can be measured between a bottom of the tongue groove and the second wall.
    [0095] An arrangement of the insert groove 20 that extends along essentially the entire length of the groove of the edge section of the first edge can lead to easier production. An arrangement of tongue groove 10 extending along essentially the entire length of the second edge edge section can also lead to easier production.
    [0096] Edge 53 of panel 2, in a preferred embodiment, is provided in essentially the same plane as an outer face 63 of adjacent second panel 4.
    [0097] An opening edge of the edge section groove may be provided with a chamfer 59 or rounding in order to facilitate the insertion of a flexible tongue 30 into the insertion groove 20.
    [0098] Figure 10A shows an embodiment of an interlocking device for locking the third panel 4, such as a back piece or a lower panel, at the rear or lower edge 81 of the frame. One embodiment of the frame is shown in Figures 2A, 3A and 5.
    [0099] Figure 10B shows an embodiment of an interlocking device for locking the sixth panel 3, such as a shelf, to any panel 82 of the frame. A first edge of the sixth panel can be connected to the frame by linear displacement and/or an angulation movement. One embodiment of the frame is shown in Figure 2A and Figure 3A.
    [0100] One embodiment of the flexible tongue 30, which is displaceable in an insertion groove 20, is shown in Figures 11A to 11D. Figures 11A-B show the flexible tongue in a locked position and Figures 1C-D show the flexible tongue when assembling a panel and an adjacent panel. Figure 11B shows a cross section of the flexible tongue in Figure 11A. Figure 11D shows a cross section of the flexible tongue in Figure 11C. The flexible tongue comprises the projecting foldable parts 24. A space 23 is provided between the tongue and a lower wall of the insertion groove 20. Figure 11C shows that the flexible tongue is pushed into the insertion groove 20 and the bottom wall during the panel assembly. The tongue snaps back when the first and second panels reach a locked position. A recess 25 is preferably disposed on each designed foldable part.
    [0101] The flexible tongue may have a first displacement surface 26 and an opposite second displacement surface 27, configured to be displaced along a third and fourth displacement surfaces 28, 29, respectively, of the insertion groove 20.
    [0102] An alternative embodiment of the flexible tongue 30, without the projecting bendable parts, is shown in Figures 11E-F. Figure 11F shows a cross section of the pawl in Figure 11E. The alternate embodiment is foldable in its lengthwise direction in order to perform the same function as the embodiment shown in Figures 11A-D.
    [0103] An additional embodiment of the flexible tongue 30 is shown in Figures 11G-H. Figure 11G shows the flexible tongue 30 before the panel and adjacent panel are locked together by the flexible tongue. The flexible tongue comprises an inner part 31 provided with wedge elements and an outer part for locking the panel and the adjacent panel together by the flexible tongue. Locking is achieved by applying a force P, in a direction parallel to the first edge, on a short edge of the outside. The force displaces the outside of the tongue in the direction parallel to the edge of the panel and the wedges force the outside of the tongue in a perpendicular direction, away from the insertion groove 20. The resulting displacement 32 of the outside of the flexible tongue, therefore, is in a direction between the direction parallel to the first edge and the perpendicular direction.
