Composable piece of furniture,
especially shelf, wall unit or the like.

The present invention relates to an assemblable piece of furniture, in particular a shelf, wall unit or the like of at least two support members arranged at a distance from one another and at least one located between them and on the same supporting structural element.

Composable pieces of furniture of the type indicated above are known in many forms, the same being both can be simple as well as very complex.

The object of the present invention is now to provide a To create such a piece of furniture that is characterized on the one hand by a technically simple design, on the other hand

but also a multitude of variations "in the arrangement and the assembly of the supporting members and components.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that each of the support members is composed of individual elements columnar structure is formed in which the adjacent individual elements by suitable Means are connected to one another and have recesses or also recesses into which the relevant components themselves or associated supports, support elements or the like. Intervene. So this is the Use of columnar structures as well as these associated components, which can optionally be in a manifold Put the type together and also let it vary. According to the invention, this variation is further expanded by that each of the support members themselves from a variety both next to one another and one above the other, optionally is composed in the height of each other offset individual elements.

As far as the design of the columnar structure is concerned, its cross-section can be circular, oval, polygonal or also be square. With this columnar design of the building structure, it is also useful if at least one of the two end faces of the same is covered by a base plate or top plate or the like.

These previously mentioned individual elements of the columnar structure can be thin-walled, in which case the vertical bands of two adjacent individual elements are connected to one another, in particular interlock. It is also possible that these thin-walled individual elements are either flat or outward or are curved inwards.

Likewise, these individual elements can also consist of a solid material along their neighboring elements Sides be connected to each other and their cross-section have the shape of a sector. In this context it is then expedient when the individual elements interlock along their mutually opposite sides, which is can thereby be realized that in one side of the individual element a vertical, dovetail-shaped section Groove and on the other side of the adjacent individual element also a vertical one, in the dovetail-shaped one Groove of the first individual element engaging counter profile is formed. Even in this lall they can Outer surfaces of the individual elements can either be flat or curved outwards or inwards.

As for the recesses serving to accommodate the components or their supporting elements, these are expediently incorporated into the upper and / or lower end edges of the individual elements arranged one above the other.

Here, the opposing recesses of two individual elements arranged one above the other can then a common recess, in particular a slot, a rectangular or also an oval to circular recess form.

It is also possible that the columnar Structural bodies facing sides of the structural elements in the recesses of the structural body engaging supports formed are.

In order to bring about a pixellation of the components on the columnar structures, it is also useful to if in the supports formed on the structural elements or in the supports arranged on the structural elements against the adjacent edges of the recesses located in the column-like structures towards open slots or recesses are incorporated into which these edges of the relevant structural recess protrude at least partially.

An example embodiment of a piece of furniture designed as a shelf is shown schematically in the drawing shown.

Show it;

Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of the shelf-like piece of furniture,

Pig. 2 the side view of a columnar structure,

Pig. 3 shows a section along line 3-3 and FIG. 4 shows one of the pig. 3 corresponding section a column-like structure made of solid material.

That in the S ¹ Xg. 1 piece of furniture 1 shown diagrammatically consists of two shelves 2 and 3, the shelf 2 having five shelves 4 and the shelf 3 having a cabinet part 5 and a storage shelf 6. Both the shelves 4 and the cabinet part 5 and the storage shelf 6 are supported by three column-like structures 7 serving as support members.

As in particular from the Pig. 2 and 3 can be seen, each of these columnar structures 7 consists of one Large number of assembled individual elements 8, which are made of sheet metal or plastic and as each over a Arcs of 90 ° extending shells are formed. Here, four of these individual elements 8 form one in themselves closed ring 9, in which the longitudinal edges of these individual elements 8 are connected to one another in any way are or interlock. The height of these individual elements 8 can be different, but the greatest height h is a multiple of the smallest height h.

According to FIG. 2, these individual elements 8 can be arranged one above the other and next to one another in any desired manner. So is in the lig. 2, a rear individual element 8 ′ extending over its entire height H is provided. Adjacent to this continuous individual element 8 ', four individual elements 8 »and 8 ^{ln are also} provided, the height of this lower individual element 8" ^{1 being} only half as great as that of the other three individual elements 8 ». still a designated 10 drain piece attached. As far as the individual elements arranged on the front side, again ^{denoted by 8 n} and 8 ^MI , are concerned, these are arranged offset to the ceil, which again brings with it a different design option. Here, too, a terminating piece designated by 10 is again provided. In addition, this cylindrical structural body 7 sits on a base plate designated by 11, its upper end face 12 then being covered by a similar top plate.

How to continue from the Pig. 2 results, so are in the end faces 14 and 15 of the individual elements 8 each rectangular Recesses 16 incorporated, together with the recesses 16 of the upper or lower individual element 8, respectively form a slot 17. This slot 17 again serves as a support for the free end 18 of one of the Eegalborde 4 or 4

or of the cabinet part 5.

According to the Pig. 3, the rim ends 18 run out into tapering supports 19, which are inserted into the aforementioned recesses 16 engage slots 17 formed and each rest on the lower edges of these recesses 16. One This support 19 is fixed in time by the side edges of these recesses 16 designated by 20 Slots 17 guaranteed.

What next in the Pig. 4 relates to the alternative design of the columnar structure 7 shown, so are instead of the individual elements 8 made of solid material previously made of sheet metal or plastic provided, each designated as a sector 22 Have cross-section. In addition, in one side edge of each of the individual elements 21 is a dovetail-shaped cross-section Longitudinal groove 24 incorporated into the one on the adjacent side edge 25 of the adjacent individual element 21 engages a counter-profile designated 26. In addition, the similar recesses 16 are incorporated in the circular outer sides 27 of these individual elements 21, which again in pairs form a slot 17 for receiving the supports 19 located on the shelves 4.
