Flat dowel and connection using a flat dowel

摘要

The dowel (3) has detent laths (10) projecting on a side with respect to an ellipsoidal base body for interlocking components (1, 2) with each other. The base body comprises a spring tongue distantly formed at angle (alpha) with respect to the base body. The base body is divided into two side sections (4, 6). The spring tongue is formed by a side edge, which is extended to a longitudinal axis of the dowel. The detent laths are oriented in opposing directions. The spring tongue is extended close to the longitudinal axis. The dowel is made of timber, high-density fiberboard (HDF), medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or thermosetting polymer. An independent claim is also included for a connector for connecting two components of a plug-in type plug system with each other by using a flat dowel.
