Composable. Elements, in particular for bookcases

The present invention relates to the manufacture of composable Construction elements that are ideally, if not exclusively, intended for the assembly of bookcases are.

It is known that today a large number of solutions have been found for assembling bookcases or bookcases to manufacture. The main aim of many of these solutions is to make them cheaper and easier to assemble Cabinets, whereby efforts are made to manufacture parts that are as resistant and refined as possible.

These bookcases essentially consist of a load-bearing basic structure that is designed in different ways can be, in the walls of which shelves or shaped boards are used, which are intended to carry the books.

The invention aims to produce the best state-of-the-art products through the originality of the idea

. 409830/0436

surpass and has the production of a simplest possible composable but at the same time economical and resistant component set the goal, which incidentally easily in large series and in simple Operations can be produced. The invention also enables one to be made in terms of execution valuable product that is structured in such a way that it can be used in both modern and classic or period furniture can be recovered.

These and other objects are achieved according to the invention by a component which is particularly suitable for manufacture of bookcases can be assembled and is characterized in that there is a floor board, a back wall, which is usually is mounted at right angles to the floor board, a series of walls that are laterally and perpendicular to the floor board and the rear wall are provided, further in that each of the said boards has two substantially parallel has running and protruding surfaces that are interconnected and adapted along the vertical edges, which are provided on the folded edges of the floor board and the rear wall, these boards can be put together with essentially the same boards.

Further characteristics and advantages essentially follow from the following description, which is a preferred but by no means exclusive embodiment contains, as well as from the attached drawing.

Fig. 2 shows the assemblable element itself disassembled, its parts can be seen,

Fig. 3 shows as a plan the composition of the side parts of two adjacent sub-elements,

Fig. 4 shows in section how the boards of the composable Elements, as shown in Fig. 2, into one another,

The invention comprises according to the accompanying drawings (Figures 1 to 11) a floor board 1, a rear wall 2, which is at right angles

is arranged on the floor board, a number of boards 3, which are laterally and perpendicular to the floor board 1 and the rear wall are appropriate. Each of these boards 3 is formed from two surfaces la and 2a which run essentially parallel and the correspondingly designed edges of the floor board 1 and the rear wall 2 are adapted.

The surfaces la, 2a are folded and interlock along the vertical front edge 3b and along the rear vertical edge 3c, so that they form a box-shaped body with a gap 3a.

The bottom board 1 and the rear wall 2 and consequently the boards 3 are made entirely of cut and creased Sheet made. The sheet metal is bent along the edges in such a way that the parts hold each other firmly have, are reinforced and that the cutting edge is covered (Fig. 4, 7, 9).

The side end pieces 4 of the upper edge of the rear wall are so cut and in a curvilinear manner in Direction to the rear wall 2 itself bent so that they also cover the cut edge laterally (Fig. 8, 10). These sculpted Edges are also useful because they provide a firm connection to the floor board 1 and the rear wall 2 (Fig. 4, 7) can be produced.

The spaces 3a of the boards 3 are closed at the top and bottom by parts 5 provided with pegs, which snap into the box-shaped bodies (FIGS. 5, 6). Connect pin 6

the assemblable adjacent components (Fig. 6 and 7). The pins 6 can each through each other a pair of shims 7 are connected so that adjacent elements (Fig. 5) are connected can.

When the composable elements 1 are set up essentially perpendicular to each other, they can, like that is shown in Fig. 11, by angle pieces 8, which connect the pins 6 of the pin elements 5, joined together will.

The bottom board 1 and the rear wall 2 have openings 12.

Supports 9 engage with one end in an opening in the floor board 1, with the other end in an opening of the rear wall 2, These supports 9 are pressed against corresponding External portions of the openings are attached and positioned to subdivide the books carried by the structural members.

The handling of the use of the components according to the invention is as follows:

The spaces 3a of the boards 3 can be filled with suitable material, e.g. cardboard. The boards are thereby stiffened and able to withstand the weight of the composable elements that are inserted vertically wear. The composable elements have molded edges that considerably stiffen the overall structure and it make it possible to easily connect the bottom board 1 and the rear wall 2 to one another.

409830 / Ü436

The edges are also creased because of this Way is possible to manufacture the component in already painted sheet metal, without thereby affecting the parts that are at the cut edges are without painting, appear.

In this way, no part of the invention presents itself as a cut product.

In this way, an overall structure is made up of individual components that can be assembled, especially for production of bookcases and bookcases which achieve the aforementioned objects of the invention.

In particular, this means that a special basic structure is not required, and the execution in molded and already painted Sheet metal allows series production at low cost.

The invention can be carried out in numerous modifications and variations without departing from the scope of the features disclosed in the invention would be exceeded.

In addition, all parts can also be made from other technically equivalent materials.

In practice, both the materials and the dimensions of the parts can be of different types, depending on what one is used for There is a need.
