Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0875179A2] In the field of kitchen worktops it is known to bond two different worktop types together using worktop bolts. However, there remains a need for securing an edge member to finish thus bonded worktop portions (11,21) in a visually effective manner. The invention relates to a worktop (10) having a groove (16) extending along its free edge. The groove (16) receives a tongue (17) that is formed in an edge member (12,22) that is an interference fit in groove (16). Thus the edge member (12,22) may be common to a number of worktop portions (11,21) bonded together. <IMAGE>
