Abstract
The invention relates to locking elements that are designed in such a manner that they can adopt an initial position into which the boards are brought by especially lowering them in an exclusively vertical manner. A terminal position is achieved by especially subsequently displacing the panels along the common joint. In this position, the two panels can be interlocked in a manner perpendicular to the panel surface and parallel to the panel surface and at the same time perpendicular to the common connecting joint.
