Patent ID: 8720031

Claim:
A system for assembling a piece of furniture having a first wall element and a second element, the system comprising: an elongated track element defining a longitudinal direction, the elongated track element including a recessed bottom wall and opposed front flanges defining therebetween a channel of a specific width, the recessed bottom wall being spaced at a specific distance behind the opposed front flanges and having a plurality of spaced-apart indentations or apertures, the elongated track element being attachable to the first wall element of the piece of furniture; and a fitting element, comprising: a main portion defining opposed parallel side surfaces spaced apart a distance equal to or slightly smaller than the specific width and defining a front surface and an opposite rear surface; an arresting pin extending outwardly from the rear surface of the main portion of the fitting element, the arresting pin being configured to be received within any of the plurality of spaced-apart indentations or apertures; and a transversal bar having a length exceeding the specific width and a maximum thickness smaller than the specific width, the transversal bar extending parallel with the front and rear surfaces of the main portion of the fitting element; wherein the fitting element is configured to be mounted in and arrested relative to the elongated track element when the transversal bar is positioned within the channel of the elongated track element perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the elongated track element, with the rear surface of the main portion of the fitting element positioned adjacent the bottom wall of the elongated track element so that the arresting pin is received within a selectable one of the plurality indentations or apertures of the bottom wall of the elongated track element.
