Abstract

A panel provided with a slider. The slider including a first surface and the panel including a second surface, the slider is being configured to be assembled to the panel with the first surface facing the second surface. The second surface is provided with an insertion groove and a displacement groove, which are of a longitudinal shape. A first angle, which is between the second surface and the insertion groove, is an acute angle. A strip protrudes from the first surface. A second angle, which is between the strip and the first surface, is an acute angle. The strip is configured to be inserted into the insertion groove when the slider is assembled to the panel. A displaceable tongue is arranged in the displacement groove. A locking surface of the displaceable tongue is configured to cooperate with a locking surface of the strip for locking the strip to the panel.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A set comprising a panel and a slider, the slider comprising a first surface and the panel comprising a second surface, the slider is being configured to be assembled to the panel with the first surface facing the second surface,
wherein the second surface is provided with an insertion groove and a displacement groove, which are of a longitudinal shape,
wherein a first angle, which is between the second surface and the insertion groove, is an acute angle,
wherein a strip protrudes from the first surface,
wherein a second angle, which is between the strip and the first surface, is an acute angle,
wherein the strip is configured to be inserted into the insertion groove when the slider is assembled to the panel,
wherein a displaceable tongue is arranged in the displacement groove,
wherein a locking surface of the displaceable tongue is configured to cooperate with a locking surface of the strip for locking the strip to the panel.

2. The set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first plane, which is parallel to the depth direction of the insertion groove, intersects a second plane, which is parallel to the depth direction of the displacement groove.

3. The set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an opening of the displacement groove is adjacent an opening of the insertion groove.

4. The set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first angle and the second angle are essentially the same and in the range of about 45° to about 60°.

5. The set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a third angle, which is between the insertion groove and the displacement groove, is in the range of about 60° to about 90°.

6. The set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a third angle, which is between the insertion groove and the displacement groove, is about 90°.

7. The set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a fourth angle, which is between the displacement groove and the second surface, is in the range of about 45° to about 60°.

8. The set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the locking surface of the strip is arranged in a recess at an upper surface of the strip.

9. The set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a locking element protrudes from the first surface and the second surface comprises a locking groove, wherein the locking element is configured to cooperate with the locking groove for preventing the strip from being displaced along the insertion groove.

10. The set as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the locking groove is a hole.

11. The set as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a fifth angle, which is between a plane of the first surface and the locking element, is essentially the same as the second angle, wherein a sixth angle, which is between the locking groove and the second surface, is essentially the same as the fifth angle.

12. The set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the strip is provided with protruding parts at at least one of an upper surface, a lower surface, and an outer edge, wherein the protruding parts are configured to cooperate with a surface of the insertion groove for preventing the strip from being displaced along the insertion groove.

13. The set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slider is a drawer slider.
