Abstract

Modular structure for washbasin furniture, the use of which is explained in the title of the invention itself. The structure is composed of: Two sets with two legs (1) joined by three horizontal crosspieces (2')-(2")-(2''') with the lower one (2"') defining a frame for a board (3) with the intermediate one (2") and the legs (1). The bench (4) has as many holes as washbasins for the drainage to pass through and as many mortises (6) as holes (5) on its large edge next to the wall. The screws (7) secured to the wall are applied on the upper and lower thirds of the leg and axially pierce cylindrical separators (8). The securing screws (9) of the bench (4) to the upper crosspiece (2') of the legs axially pierce cylindrical separators (10) placed between the bench (4) and the crosspiece (2'). <IMAGE>

Description

object

Of the Subject matter of the invention protected by the present patent concerns, consists in a "modular Construction for a washbasin furniture ".

State of technology

Furniture to Wear or support Basins generally use a construction that is known as a table and support legs as well a flat top plate or bench, wherein the lower space possibly used for accommodating small barrier devices or drawers becomes.

The GB-A-965 045 describes a table with the design features of the preamble of the attached Claim.

by virtue of of productivity requirements such furniture usually on an industrial scale made, and all of the same size as this optional from selected by the respective manufacturer becomes.

Therefore It is unlikely that this furniture will be mass produced according to the design project correctly in the for this Intended purpose of fitting space in bathrooms.

by virtue of these lack of adjustments lead to the creation of wasted space, This in turn leads to a certain lack of functionality of the sanitary facility as well to a break in the aesthetic Harmony is coming.

description the invention

The Object of the invention, which is the subject of the present patent is the shortcomings the furniture described above for sink, Made with standardized sizes be overcome; For this purpose investigations were made, embodiments designed and made developments.

The Essence of the invention, as in the characterizing part of the appended claim focuses on dimensional conformability the construction of the furniture, by making this modular to adapt its features to the (spatial, formal, functional and aesthetic) Requirements of the user.

• – Zwei gleiche Sätze, die jeweils aus zwei Beinen oder vertikalen rechteckigen prismatischen Stützen gebildet sind, die durch drei horizontale Querstreben oder Verbindungen miteinander verbunden sind; die obere davon verbindet die oberen Enden der Beine; die mittlere bzw. Zwischenquerstrebe bildet einen rechteckigen Raum mit der oberen Querstrebe und den Beinen; und die untere Querstrebe, die nicht bis zu den unteren Enden der Beine reicht, bildet einen rechteckigen Rahmen mit den Beinen und der Zwischenquerstrebe, so daß eine Bank bzw. ein Tisch gebildet ist.
• – Eine ebene Tischplatte mit einem oder zwei Löchern für den Ablauf des Waschbeckens (oder der Waschbecken, wenn zwei davon vorhanden sind) in einer Anordnung entweder in der Mitte oder an einer anderen Stelle; sowie mit einer oder zwei Aussparungen an dem größeren Rand der Tischplatte, die zur Anlage an der Wand vorgesehen sind, durch die die Warmwasser- und Kaltwasser-Zuführverbindungen zu dem Monoblock-Wasserhahn hindurchlaufen, wobei die entsprechenden Löcher und Aussparungen entlang von geraden Linien ausgefluchtet sind, die zu der Ebene der Wand senkrecht sind.
• – Schrauben, die in der Wand jedes zweibeinigen Satzes derart befestigt sind, daß die dadurch gebildete Ebene senkrecht zu der Wand ist, wobei die Schrauben an dem oberen und dem unteren Drittel des Beins, das der Wand am nächsten angeordnet ist, angebracht sind und zwischen den beiden Elementen (der Wand und dem Bein) zylindrische Trennelemente vorgesehen sind, die von den Schrauben in Axialrichtung durchsetzt werden.
• – Befestigungsschrauben der Tischplatte zu der oberen Querstrebe der zweibeinigen Sätze, wobei zylindrische Trennelemente zwischen der Tischplatte und der Querstrebe angeordnet sind und diese von den Schrauben in Axialrichtung durchsetzt werden.

The construction, which corresponds to the general typology of a table, contains the following elements:

• - two equal sets, each formed by two legs or vertical rectangular prismatic columns connected by three horizontal crossbars or joints; the upper one connects the upper ends of the legs; the middle or intermediate crossbar forms a rectangular space with the upper crossbar and the legs; and the lower crossbar, which does not reach to the lower ends of the legs, forms a rectangular frame with the legs and the intermediate crosspiece, so that a bench or a table is formed.
• A flat tabletop with one or two holes for the outlet of the washbasin (or the washbasin, if any two of them are present) arranged either in the middle or at another place; and with one or two recesses on the larger edge of the table top, which are intended to rest against the wall through which the hot water and cold water supply connections pass to the monoblock faucet, the corresponding holes and recesses being aligned along straight lines that are perpendicular to the plane of the wall.
• - Screws which are fixed in the wall of each two-legged set such that the plane formed thereby is perpendicular to the wall, wherein the screws are attached to the upper and the lower third of the leg, which is located closest to the wall, and between the two elements (the wall and the leg) are cylindrical separating elements are provided, which are penetrated by the screws in the axial direction.
• - Fixing screws of the table top to the upper cross member of the two-legged sets, wherein cylindrical separating elements between the table top and the cross member are arranged and these are penetrated by the screws in the axial direction.

The described construction facilitates the adaptation of the furniture for the sink to the sizes assigned to this in the design project, without that more for this do is to cut the table top to the required size and the auxiliary passages extending therethrough to form the appropriate points by machining (water inlets, drain, screws).

The advantages achieved with this modular construction are even more evident in those cases where the design of bathrooms repeats in its formal and dimensional characteristics (large residential projects) buildings, hotels, etc.), although the flexibility afforded by this design with regard to adaptability also enables individual requirements to be met with the same efficiency.
