Description

The furniture that is easy to dismantle

The present invention relates to a kind of furniture item that is easy to dismantle, it comprises a plurality of panel and mechanical positioners that linked up by shackle fine hair immobilization material, for example immobilization material is the product of selling with " Velcro " trade mark, wherein two of immobilization material discerptible anastomosis parts are fixed on the apparent surface of contiguous panel, and mechanical positioner is by predetermined steering handle panel location.

Such product is disclosed in the U. S. Patent 4372224(Richard A.Ehrlich in February 18 nineteen eighty-three) in.A kind of desk structure that is easy to dismantle of the U.S. Patent Publication of Ehrlich, wherein the pedestal of desk is to be assembled with a strut rail that is connected with wedge shape hook connector by two pillar parts, the U. S. Patent 4165902 of Ehrilch is seen in relevant description.In order to receive the top of pillar part, provide the mechanical positioning of parts at the bottom on desk top fluting like this.According to the U. S. Patent of Ehrlich, desk top fluting is necessary for desk structure necessary strength is provided.The top of desk is to use along the shackle fixture of the bottom of the top of desk pillar and fluting and be maintained in the rigging position.For the structure of the US patent teaches of using Ehrlich, must use a thick desk top, this thick top can be pressed such fluting of being instructed and do not had significant structural strength loss.This has got rid of relatively thinner, the cheap material of use, for example wood shavings wood veneer.Equally, the mechanical hook-type connector between a base for post of beam also is unsuitable for using relatively thinner pressure wooden boards.

According to the present invention, a kind of furniture item that is easy to dismantle of the above-mentioned type, it is characterized in that: panel is thinner, and mechanical positioner comprises the apparent surface's who is fixed on contiguous panel a dowel device of going up and protruding from it, it engages with another apparent surface to avoid immobilization material partly to engage, and be included in aperture apparatus among another apparent surface, it is used for carrying out accepting when pre-aligned dowel device at panel, thereby allows the immobilization material part to enter joint by predetermined direction.

Locating stud provides necessary locating function under the situation that does not significantly reduce formed thin panel structure.

Further advantage of the present invention is: make economy, be easy to storage and transportation, parts are compatible and interchangeable, and the product assembly and disassembly of making are rapid.

In using, in case after having opened altogether four packings, following step is essential to the desk examples of components that has the fixing and mechanical positioner of shackle.These packings comprise four part workpiece, i.e. top or desk faceplate, back panel and two pedestals.

At first, place back panel and be connected, then the top desk faceplate is placed on the top of pedestal with the back of two pedestals.

The desk of assembling such staple for strap fixing device need take an assembling worker less than 1 fen clock time, and general desk need take two assembling worker 5-10 branch clock times.Because package is less, transportation and take-down time have reduced, and owing to adopt the shackle fixing device, the dismounting of desk is fairly simple.Only need to extract top and back member, and desk is convenient to move and in new local assembling, what be worth emphasizing is that assembling or dismounting do not need instrument.

In addition, fixed system simply overcome the many design problems that are easy to dismantle furniture system, therefore caused stronger adaptability, because there is no need to adapt to special mechanical fixation system for the parts that are designed.

This has also simplified production routine because do not have annex or mechanical connector to be fixed to boring in advance, countersink and the parts surface that is connected on.

The shackle part of immobilization material is bonded at simply or is fixed on the parts surface with other method, thereby eliminated the stress concentration point that generally when adopting other type connector, is produced, and, there is not weakness zone in effective junction of two neighbouring surfaces because firm demand do not concentrate.

Certainly it is not only simpler that this is meaning making, and save labour and fund, because this system needs less making step, and do not need what sophisticated equipment.

Conventional connected system need use minimum thickness be the wood shavings wood veneer of 1 inch (2.5cm) to adapt to conventional annex, under some occasion, need to use 11/8 inch wood shavings wood veneer that (3cm) is thick.

Under the contrast, native system can adopt the wood shavings wood veneer of 3/4 inch (2cm) (or littler), this plate has higher density, not flexible, the characteristics that are difficult for breaking, can reduce cost of material 30% thus nearly, and can produce and be easy to process and assemble and lighter product, therefore reduced freight charges, the product that is assembled into firmly, not yielding.

The easiest what break is stress concentration point place at the wood shavings wood veneer for conventional system.These break and normally can not repair, and therefore need to change one or more parts.Both made and to have repaired, can not return to original intensity at the reparation point.When using shackle immobilization material of the present invention, just the phenomenon that the wood shavings wood veneer breaks can not take place, thereby system does not need optional feature (for example cross portion and analog) to strengthen the intensity of product.

Another advantage of the present invention is: the wood shavings wood veneer is along with the temperature and humidity variation can be stretched or contract, this can be increased in the stress of the concentrated stress point that takes place in the conventional system, thereby cause coupling break or loosening, yet the shackle immobilization material allows to expand and shrink, and has therefore eliminated this problem.

Any joint close between the panel can be covered or is highlighted, because can obtain the very big hook and loop material of color gamut now, can arrive more color surely certainly if desired.

These joint closes can form one and be known as the pattern properties that exposes bar, and this must be added as an additional step in addition in course of working.

The represented office furniture that is easy to dismantle comprises multiple parts and separates panel in specification and accompanying drawing, but just understand: the principle of the principle that the hook and loop material of parts connects and the mechanical preposition of these parts is suitable for domestic furniture and many other occasions equally, and this depends on design size.

Also should understand: although narrated " Velcro " (trade mark), other shackle immobilization material also can obtain from various approach, and they all have similar parts; A flexibility promptly being arranged or is essentially the substrate of rigidity, Nylon(trade mark in a row thereon) (or other plastic materials) hook is formed on the parts; An and similar substrate of another parts of the many rings of promising support (making) with materials similar; these rings are pieceable by the hook on first parts; so that very strong binding to be provided between them; throw off although be easy to each other; yet so just provide description here to link needed sufficient intensity, especially resisted shear force and tension force with claimed different parts.

When adopting long such shackle immobilization material to be fixed on the supporting structure that resembles pedestal and analog with a table top panel and back panel, the preposition of parts is essential characteristics, is very difficult because these panels are positioned on the supporting structure surface exactly.The mechanical positioner of describing and representing is included in the dowel pin and socket that meshing part is used to accept.

Continue to describe in detail the present invention for this reason, with reference to the accompanying drawings, these accompanying drawings only are schematically and have represented principle of the present invention fully, just, adopt the shackle immobilization material to interosculate for rigid parts relative with device for pre-positioning, the accurate location of each parts is prior to the joint of immobilization material like this.

Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 represents desk that office adopts and property and schematically as an illustration only.

The desk that Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 represent comprises pair of base 10, and pedestal 10 has flat top surface 11 and rear surface, plane 12.Can be located in pedestal and the common structure by the drawer of reference number 13 expression and/or door.

Desk top panel 14 comprises a panel that is essentially rectangle, and the upper surface 15 of this panel has desirable smoothness, referring to Fig. 1 (lower surface of top panel up among the figure).

Total label is that 17 rear board also is rectangle basically, has desirable smoothness on its outer surface 18, when assembling it against pedestal rear surface 12 and be positioned.

Along the periphery of pedestal upper surface 11,, a part of shackle immobilization material bar 19 is fixed thereon with viscose glue or other method; And corresponding hook and loop material bar 20 usefulness viscose glues or similar approach are fixed around the zone 21 of desk top panel, and two-part will engage when top panel is assembled on the pedestal.

Similar a part of hook and loop material bar 22 is fixed and defines the engaging zones of rear board internal surface 23, and the relative bar 24 of hook and loop material is fixed around the periphery of two pedestal rear boards 12.Although peripheral position is illustrated as being used for hook and loop material, also can use other position and/or the structure of this material.

The machinery device for pre-positioning is arranged between pedestal upper surface and the table top lower surface and is located between rear board internal surface and the pedestal rear surface.These device for pre-positioning forms are similar, and are illustrated among the local Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 that has amplified.

On two mating surfaces, have and bore good hole (being preferably blind hole) 25, when this two surface is accurately located, two holes in line, and a locating stud 26 embeds in the hole 25 of fixed component, and from wherein vertical stretching, the length of these locating studs is: before the joint of engaging hole 25, the mate 19 and 20 of hook and loop material is separated not open and engages one another.

As the example that is shown in the desk among Fig. 1 to Fig. 5, locating stud 26 (and does not represent) the middle stretching, extension from its back with spaced apart relation the figure from corresponding hole, similarly locating stud stretches upwards from the upper surface 11 of two pedestals, people can observe: two spaced apart locating studs and corresponding hole are arranged on the upper surface of pedestal and rear surface, and they are by desired relation quilt fix in position approx.

Then front panel is leaned on the firmly surface of a pedestal with the locating stud that stretches from it, in the zone that limits by a part of hook and loop material, to engage this surface.Rear board engages with hole in the rear board with respect to the mobile permission locating stud of pedestal, thereby guarantees accurately to locate between the two, at this moment panel is shifted onto on the pedestal rear surface fully, thereby hook engages one another with discerptible fixed relationship with ring two-part and is in the same place.

The other end of panel is another pedestal back and be positioned and be moved up to locating stud and be meshed with the hole 25 of second pedestal against in a similar fashion.What certainly can understand is: before the locating stud that engages rear board, second pedestal can be located quite exactly.

In case rear board is fixed, top panel 14 is reversed and by locating stud and by on the upper surface 11 against two pedestals, move then up to locating stud and be meshed with hole 25 in the upper surface, at this moment two of the shackle immobilization material mating surfaces intermesh together with discerptible engagement relationship.

This has just finished the assembling of desk rapidly, easily, and because the intensity of immobilization material on shear force and tension force provides necessary stability, and people have found vibration in use or put weight to have strengthened combination between hook and the ring two sections of material.Also know simultaneously: the separation of parts is also carried out easily, get final product with throwing off action, so furniture is moved another place to easily from a place.

In this described specific embodiments, it should be noted that: one type connection is described, and just, a surface is on a surface, Fig. 6 illustrates such connection, and desk top panel 14 is meshed with the upper surface 11 of a pedestal 10 as an example.Before hook and loop material engages locating stud 26 and hole 25 in line, in this example, ring material is represented by reference number 19A, and the hook material is represented by reference number 20A, this two sections of material can reverse if desired certainly.

Fig. 7 for example represents the side between panel 27 and another panel 28 and the connection set of side.In such connection or means of fixation, locating stud from the side 27 of a panel 28 stretch and an engagement hole 25 thereon and be engaged in the hole 25 of another panel 27.Part immobilization material 20A stretches along the side of panel 27, and another part 19A is along the side stretching, extension of another panel 28, the length of the locating stud 26 that stretches out from the surface is wanted long enough, makes to be meshed with facing surfaces in line and before the sealing engagement of material part 19A and 20A in two panels.

Fig. 8 has represented the connection of another kind of Placement or two parts, and wherein panel 30 comprises a part of shackle immobilization material 20A, and these materials are fixed along the edge of the plane surface 31 of panel, on perpendicular to the position on surface 31 porose 25.Another panel or parts 32 are included in one or more holes 25 that form, that locating stud 26 can be engaged with on the side 33, another part 19A is secured in place along side 33, thereby has formed a right angle connection when engaging in a manner described between two panels or parts.
