Description

“CONFIGURATION APPLIED TO STRUCTURAL ASSEMBLY USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF MODULAR OR PLANNED FURNITURE” [001] This utility model application is intended primarily for the furniture sector and consists of the structurally applied configuration employed in the manufacture of modular or planned furniture which is able to produce diverse formats quickly, uncomplicated and with high strength.

[002] Furniture frames are widely used in virtually every building and furniture industry because of their excellent strength, simplicity and quickness in assembly. Such structures usually employ connections and metal profiles produced by extrusion or injection process and generally use aluminum as their base material due to its lightness compared to other metals, corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties.

Referring to the state of the art, the most relevant documents considered are the records PI0404459-2, MU8602282-2, MU8702375-0 and MU9102741-1.

Referring to register PI0404459-2, such document describes a sliding fastener which can be moved in a specific metal profile, assuming a plurality of positions suitable for the desired mounting, for example a rack, said fastener being lockable. in a given situation by suitable locking elements such as screws.

The registration MU8602282-2 elucidates a constructive arrangement in furniture connection which basically comprises an "L" shaped side frame that can be inserted into the inner region of a profile.

Document MU8702375-0 describes a set of structural profiles for columns and sleepers consisting of profiles obtained by folding, inserts and fixings forming a assembled and or welded structure for various applications.

Finally, the registration MU9102741-1 points out profiles and their connections containing a lower channel and a lateral channel in the square profile or two lateral channels in the rectangular profile, being the fixing of one profile to another by screws in the internal threads. which are made directly into the channel walls, further containing a plug connection.

Looking at the relevant priorities, some related shortcomings may be cited. Ο PI0404459-2 relies on various part patterns called fasteners to form joints at the edges and center division of the cabinet, as the connectors that fit inside the profiles are integral parts of the fasteners, thus canceling the option of adjusting them as required. the need for mounting. As for MU8602282-2, the part in charge of providing the horizontal fit of the profile with the "L" shaped structure is fixed by screws to the side of said structure, with no additional fit able to provide greater reinforcement to the joint. Document MU8702375-0, as it uses only one piece entitled insert in the binding of column profiles and cross member profiles, ultimately provides a structure that is more likely to acquire slack over time, requiring periodic re-tightening. The last registration number MU9102741-1 demonstrates missing connector profiles, producing structures with misaligned profiles and also likely to have gaps over time.

[009] Noting the deficiencies detected in conventional structures and connections and interested in providing a different option, the configuration applied together structurally employed in the manufacture of modular or planned furniture, object of the present application, which will be elucidated following the report was developed. .

[010] The following description seeks to highlight the proposal at the level of its principle, without being limited to component designs, with reference to the following illustrations listed below: [011] Figure 1, exploded isometric view illustrating the preferred configuration of the structure and characteristics of each component;

Figure 2, perspective view of the configuration demonstrating the union of the components;

[013] Figures 3 and 4, isometric views depicting configurative variables of the components called fixative base and horizontal profile;

[014] Figure 5, perspective view representing the union of configurative variables;

Figures 6 and 7, illustrative images demonstrating some forms that can be developed employing the structural assembly and the respective profiles.

[016] According to Figure 1, the structurally applied configuration employed in the manufacture of modular or planned furniture (1) consists of a fixing base (2) with side grooves (2.1) fitted with through holes (2.2) and central channel (2.3), preferably rectangular supports (3) defined by vertical connectors (3.1) located at one end, transverse through hole (3.2) and longitudinal through hole (3.3), vertical profiles (4) acting as counterparts and profiles extruded horizontal sections (5) provided with internal structure (5.1) from crossed internal walls and lower holes (5.2) for bolt passage.

[017] The connection of the brackets (3) to the fixing base (2) occurs when the vertical connectors (3.1) are directly inserted into the side slots (2.1), followed by the fixing optionally employing a screw (6). After fixing, the horizontal profiles (5) can be inserted over the supports (3) and fixed using screws (6). In the case of the vertical profile (4), it is introduced into the central channel (2.3) of the fixing base (2) and its binding occurs simultaneously to the supports, as both parts employ the same screw (6). Once all the items have been joined, the structure shows the aspect illustrated in figure 2.

In addition to the elucidated patterns, the fixing base (2) and the horizontal profiles (5) may have configurative variables. Referring to the fixing base (2) (figure 3), its central channel may adopt the square geometric shape (2.4) to allow the union of counterparts in the same shape. The horizontal profiles (5) (figure 4) have a longitudinal groove (5.3) to allow the insertion of a base in glass, wood, polymer or any other compatible material. The structure adopting the configurative variables shows the appearance outlined in figure 5.

According to figures 6 and 7, the structural set employed in the manufacture of modular or planned furniture provides a significant range of shapes and dimensions that can adapt to the most varied types of environments, depending only on the creativity of the person or company responsible for the design. Assembly.

Unlike the currently accepted structures and connections, the disclosed system allows joining X-axis profiles to Y-axis profiles using the Z axis. The three axes are used, one axis being perpendicular to the other two which is in charge of allowing the fittings. Such feature can be considered unique in the structural set described, since no priority uses this technique as a solution.

[021] All demonstrated structural parts can be made from extruded profiles, eliminating the use of injected or machined parts. Another particularity of the pieces is that it does not require the use of external rails, making the pieces more visually beautiful.

[022] The main advantages of the structural assembly employed in the manufacture of modular or planned furniture over accepted standards is the availability of a small number of components characterized by high strength, simplified shapes and easy handling, making assembly quick and easy.

[023] It is noteworthy that the suggested configuration should be understood as representative and not limiting, and may suffer variations and modifications in its embodiment or ornamentation, provided that these modifications do not depart from the essence of the project.
