Abstract: A connection arrangement for connecting a first furniture part (10) to a second furniture part (20) with a further furniture part (70), wherein the first furniture part (10) comprises: a dowel (11) and one or more abutment surfaces (13) extending circumferentially (C) around or being distributed circumferentially (C) around the dowel (11), wherein the second furniture part (20) comprises: a through-going opening (22) extending through a wall (21) and one or more abutment surfaces (23) extending circumferentially (C) around or being distributed circumferentially (C) around the through-going opening (22), wherein the connection arrangement further comprises said further furniture part (70) is a tubular member and wherein a part of the tubular member (70) forms a connection member (30) having a recess (31), the recess (31) having a locking portion (31b) being configured to receive the dowel (11) by a relative motion between the connection member (30) and the first furniture part (10) in a direction transverse (T) to the longitudinal direction (L) and being configured to interact with the neck portion (11b) of the dowel (11) to counteract removal of the dowel (11) from the locking portion (31b) along the longitudinal direction (L).

Abstract: A system is provided comprising a first furniture part (200) and a locking arrangement comprising a connector bracket (1) and a locking element (4). The first furniture part (200) comprises a recess (201) having an oblong shape comprising an insertion portion (203) and a locking portion (204), wherein the locking portion (204) along an inner wall comprises a groove (207). The connector bracket (1) comprises a base portion (2) having an extension adapted to extend along the first furniture part (200), and at least one protrusion (3) having a longitudinal extension extending transverse the extension of the base portion (2) and comprising a rim (7) extending transverse the longitudinal extension of the protrusion (3). The protrusion (3) is configured to be inserted into the insertion portion (203) and to be movable from the insertion portion (203) to the locking portion (204) by applying a force to the connector bracket (1) in a direction transverse to the longitudinal extension of the protrusion (3), whereby the rim (7) engages the groove (207). The locking element (4) being a flexible tongue (4) is integral with the connector bracket (1) and is configured to be inserted into the insertion portion (203), thereby preventing the protrusion (3) from being moved from the locking portion (204) to the insertion portion (203) and thereby releasing its engagement with the groove (207). The locking element (4) is configured to form a safety lock adapted for acting against a portion of an envelope surface of the protrusion (3) facing the insertion portion (203) of the recess (201). Also, a connector bracket and the use of such connector bracket is disclosed.
