Composed element, multi-layered board and panel-shaped element for forming this composed element
First Claim
1. A set of panel-shaped elements comprising at least a first panel-shaped element and a second panel-shaped element configured to be coupled together to form a corner connection,wherein the panel-shaped elements are provided with coupling parts allowing to couple them together, said coupling parts comprising a tongue at the first panel-shaped element and a groove at the second panel-shaped element, said tongue and groove being substantially made as profiled parts;
- wherein said coupling parts further comprise locking elements counteracting, in a coupled condition, the drifting apart of the tongue and groove; and
wherein said coupling parts are configured such that the tongue can be snapped into the groove by a mutual substantially linear translation movement, and the coupling parts are also configured such that the tongue can be brought into the groove by means of a turning movement,wherein the tongue has an elastically bendable part and a remainder part, said elastically bendable part being separated from the remainder part of the tongue by means of a slot, wherein said tongue and groove are configured such that, while snapping the tongue in said groove, said elastically bendable portion is subjected to an inward bending towards the slot, in order to provide a snapping of said locking elements, andwherein the panel-shaped elements, in the coupled condition, define an adjoining plane where they adjoin, said slot extending from said tongue through said adjoining plane.
