A set including a first element with a cylindrical shaped part, a second element having a cylindrical shaped groove with a circular opening in an outer surface of the second element, and a mechanical locking device. The mechanical locking device includes a tongue groove, a displacement groove and a flexible tongue in the displacement groove, and is configured to lock the cylindrical shaped part to the cylindrical shaped groove. The flexible tongue is configured to cooperate with the tongue groove for locking the cylindrical shaped part to the cylindrical shaped groove. The flexible tongue is configured to be reshaped and displaced in the displacement groove during locking, and spring back to a locked position. The flexible tongue is configured to exert a spring force on the tongue groove in the locked position.

Elements and a locking device for an assembled product

A machine for inserting a tongue in an insertion groove in a panel. An operation of the machine involves displacing a first tongue to an end position of a tongue queue, which includes tongues under compression, in a tongue queue device, compressing the first tongue, displacing the tongues in the tongue queue by compression forces from the tongues under compression, displacing a second tongue, which is at a front position of the tongue queue, to an inserting device, displacing the second tongue into an insertion groove in a panel by the inserting device.

Machine for inserting a tongue

A method and device for managing and separating a tongue from a tongue blank, including cutting a first edge of a tongue from the tongue blank by rotating a tool which includes a protruding part, and displacing the tongue by the protruding part to a tongue queue. The method and device may include a second tool for cutting a second edge of the tongue from the tongue blank.

Method and device for inserting a tongue

A device for inserting a tongue into an insertion groove in a panel including a first part including a supporting surface configured to cooperate with an upper surface of a panel. The device includes a second part, which is connected to the first part, including a guiding device for a displaceable puncher which is configured to displace a tongue into an insertion groove of a panel. The supporting surface is extending in a first direction and the guiding device is extending in second direction.

Device for inserting a tongue

A handheld device is disclosed for inserting a tongue into an insertion groove in a panel. The device includes a first part including a power unit which is configured for driving a puncher. The handheld device includes a second part, which is connected to the first part. The second part includes the displaceable puncher and a guiding device which is configured to guide the displaceable puncher and the tongue. An outer edge of the second part includes a first positioning element and a second positioning element. The first positioning element and the second positioning element are configured to be positioned at least partly in the insertion groove during an insertion of the tongue into the insertion groove. The displaceable puncher is configured to displace the tongue from the handheld device to an inserted position in the insertion groove.

A method and device for inserting a tongue in an insertion groove in a panel by a device, wherein the method includes: displacing a tongue guiding device in a first direction by displacing a puncher in the first direction, and displacing a tongue between a first part and a second part of the tongue guiding device and into an insertion groove in panel by further displacing the puncher.

A method and device for inserting a tongue in an insertion groove in a panel. The method includes displacing a first tongue to an end position of a tongue queue, which comprises tongues under compression, in a tongue queue device, compressing the first tongue, displacing the tongues in the tongue queue by compression forces from the tongues under compression, displacing a second tongue, which is at a front position of the tongue queue, to an inserting device, displacing the second tongue into an insertion groove in a panel by said inserting device.
