Definitions

  • the plinth comprises longitudinal grooves receiving elastic elements in the form of pins which are integral with or clamps intended to cooperate with said feet or are integral with intermediate supports,
  • a drawback of this known device lies in the fact that, in particular when the floor on which the furniture element rests is not perfectly flat, the plinth cannot be applied tightly against the floor.
  • the clamps used to fix the plinth to the feet are movable in the direction of the height on the latter and therefore not allowing to immobilize the plinth in the direction of the height.
  • the intermediate supports whose height is adjustable, the pins are arranged at fixed heights on the part of the supports resting on the ground. Consequently, neither the feet nor the intermediate supports allow the baseboard to be clamped against the floor.
  • this known device involves the use of a plinth having grooves of particular shape, namely of circular profile. Since it is difficult to machine such grooves in a plinth made of a usual material for the manufacture of furniture elements, for example in wood or in chipboard, it is necessary to use special plinths , for example molded plinths made of plastic.
  • the present invention relates to a device for fixing a plinth below a piece of furniture. on feet for example of a kitchen element, device which remedies the drawbacks of the known device, described above.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for fixing a plinth allowing the plinth to be applied tightly against the ground, even when the latter is not perfectly flat.
  • the request also relates to a plinth fixing device making it possible to assemble and disassemble the plinth in a simple manner, without risk of damage to the latter or to the furniture element.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for fixing a plinth which can be made of a usual material for the manufacture of furniture elements, for example wood or chipboard, the adaptation of the plinth to the fixing device involving only simple and inexpensive machining operations.
  • the invention has for its object a furniture element foot, adjustable in height, equipped with such a plinth fixing device.
  • the plinth fixing device comprises a slide which is guided in a groove formed in the external lateral surface of at least one foot of the furniture element, in a manner substantially parallel to the axis of said foot.
  • This slide carries at least one finger projecting from said groove in the direction of the plinth to be fixed.
  • the device further comprises means for moving said slide in said groove to cause said finger to act on the plinth in order to apply the latter against a fixed surface, in particular against the ground.
  • Said means for moving the slide advantageously consists of a screw engaged in a tapped hole formed in a fixed part, in alignment with the slide, although it is possible to use, within the framework of the invention, any other means for moving the slide in its groove.
  • the finger of the slide has a sidewall lower inclined downwards cooperating with the lower flank, correspondingly inclined, of a groove or a similar recess formed in the plinth.
  • the depth of this groove is then preferably greater than the distance over which said finger projects from the groove.
  • the slide being in the high position, to present the plinth in front of the foot so that the finger enters the groove of the plinth and, by tightening the screw or a similar means, lower the slide until the lower flank of the finger contacts the lower flank of the groove.
  • the plinth is clamped both against the foot and against the ground, which automatically ensures the correct positioning of the plinth.
  • the slider advantageously comprises lateral guide heels and the groove is provided with retaining wings for these heels.
  • the slide has two spaced guide pins and that the retaining wings of the groove are interrupted in two places separated by a distance corresponding substantially to the spacing of said two heels, over a length greater than the length of these heels.
  • the slider introduced into the groove can be lifted and immobilized at the height necessary to allow the heel (s) of the slide, when presenting the plinth, to enter the groove (s) of the latter.
  • the plinth fixing device can advantageously be used in combination with a height-adjustable foot composed of an interior part intended to be fixed to the furniture element and having a threaded portion, and of an external part, intended to bear on the ground, having a threaded portion to allow its adjustment in height relative to the internal part and comprising several, for example four, grooves distributed around its periphery. Indeed, it is thus possible to adjust the foot to the desired height, by rotation of the outer part with respect to the inner part, and to introduce a slide in that of the grooves which is .turned towards the side of the plinth. to fix.
  • the base consists mainly of an interior part 3 and an exterior part 4.
  • the inner part 3 is formed for example of a section of metal tube.
  • a plate 5 used for fixing the foot 1 to the underside of the bottom 2 of the furniture element is connected to the upper end of the part 3, for example by welding.
  • the plate 5 is crossed, along the axis of the part 3, by a tapped hole receiving a screw 6 engaged from the upper face of the bottom 2, through a hole for the passage of the latter in the tapped hole of the plate 5.
  • An additional screw 7 can be engaged from the upper face of the bottom 2, through another passage hole of the latter, in an additional tapped hole formed eccentrically in the plate 5, to prevent any rotation of the part 3 of the foot .
  • the lower section of the tube section constituting the inner part 3 is deformed so as to have a polygonal outer profile 8, for example a hexagonal profile.
  • a plug 9, for example made of plastic, having a thread 10, is force fitted on the lower end of the part 3, the polygonal profile 8 of the latter preventing any rotation of the plug 9 relative to the part 3.
  • the total length of the part 3, including the plate 5 and the plug 9, is less than the minimum height of the bottom 2 of the piece of furniture above the ground.
  • the external part 4 of the foot 1 as a whole has the shape of a sleeve with an internal diameter slightly greater than the external diameter of the cylindrical section of the internal part 3.
  • the part 4 has, from its lower end, a thread 11 extending over a height corresponding to the maximum foot adjustment height 1.
  • the outer part 4 has four outer grooves 12 distributed at 90 ° intervals around its outer periphery.
  • the grooves 12 are parallel to the axis of the foot and extend over the entire length of the part 4.
  • the height of the latter is less than the minimum height of the bottom 2 of the furniture element above the ground.
  • Each groove 12 has a T-shaped profile defined by the flat bottom 13 of the groove, by two wings 14 protruding parallel at a distance from each other on the external lateral surface of the part 4, and by two parallel wings 15 oriented towards each other at the end of the wings 14, leaving a slot 16 between their free ends constituting the isthmus of the groove 12.
  • each groove 12 is interrupted substantially in the middle of the length of the part 4, at 17, and that the two wings 15 are interrupted at 18, in the vicinity of the lower end of the part 4.
  • the outer part 4 of the foot 1 can advantageously be made by molding in plastic material.
  • One of the four grooves 12 contains a slide 19 whose length is less than the height of the part 4.
  • the slide 19 as a whole has a rectangular profile, visible in FIG. 3, the width of which is slightly less than the width of the isthmus 16 of the groove 12 and the depth of which is substantially equal to or slightly less than the depth of the groove 12, measured from the bottom 13 of the latter to the outer face of the wings 15.
  • the body of the slide is therefore completely inside the groove, its outer face being almost flush with the flat outer face of the wings 15.
  • the body of the slide 19 comprises, at the lower end and in the vicinity of the upper end of the latter, two lateral guide heels 20 projecting on either side on the body of the slide.
  • the heels 20 are retained behind the wings 15 of the groove and their thickness is chosen so that the heels are guided with sliding fit between said wings 15 and the bottom 13 of the groove 12.
  • the two heels 20 are at a reciprocal distance substantially corresponding to the spacing of the two interruptions 17 and 18 of the grooves 12 or the wings 15 of the latter. Their length is less than the length of the interruptions 17 and 18 of the grooves 12 or the wings 15 of these grooves.
  • the slide 19 carries, in the vicinity of each end, a finger 21 projecting outwards from the groove, in a diametrical plane of the foot 1. Each finger 21 has a lower side 22 inclined downwards and outwards .
  • the entire slide 19 is advantageously made by molding in plastic material.
  • a plinth 23 intended to be fixed to the foot 1, below the bottom 2 of the furniture element, so as to leave a slot between its upper edge and the bottom face of the bottom 2, has two longitudinal grooves 24.
  • the sidewall lower 25 of each groove 24 is inclined at an angle substantially equal to that of the lower face 22 of the fingers 21 of the slider 19.
  • the depth of the grooves 24 is greater than the distance over which the fingers 21 protrude from the body of the slider 19
  • the distance separating the lower flanks 25 from the grooves 24 is equal to the distance separating the lower flanks 22 from the two fingers 21 of the slide 19.
  • the upper groove 24 can open up.
  • the plate 5 of the inner part 3 of the foot 1 has an additional eccentric tapped hole intended to receive a grub screw 26 engaged from the upper face of the bottom 2 of the furniture element through a passage hole 27 of the bottom 2.
  • the axis of the hole 27 and of the aforementioned tapped hole of the plate 5 is aligned with the groove located on the side on which the plinth 23 must be fixed.
  • the diameter of the screw 26 is less than the width of the isthmus 16 of the groove 12 so that the screw 26 can penetrate from the top into the groove 12.
  • the through hole 27 in the bottom 2 can be closed off by a plug 28 on the upper face of the bottom 2.
  • the height of the foot 1 is adjusted and the plinth 23 is fixed as described below.
  • the furniture element resting on its foot 1 is raised or lowered, at the location of the foot 1, by rotation of the outer part 4 around the inner part 3, in one direction or the other.
  • the inner part 3 fixed to the bottom 2 of the furniture element thus penetrates deeper into the outer part 4, the lower end of which bears on the ground, or is released towards the top of the outer part " 4j thanks to the thread 10 of the plug 9 being engaged with the internal thread 11,
  • the outer part 4 is still slightly rotated to bring on the side of the foot on which the plinth 23 is to be fixed, one or other of the two closest grooves 12, unless one of the grooves 12 is already on this side at the end of the adjustment operation.
  • a slider 19 is introduced into the selected groove 12, presenting the slider 19 so that its lower heel 20 is at the height of the interrupted part 18 of the wings 15 of the groove 12 and its upper heel 20 at the height of the part interrupted 17 of the groove 12. In this position, it is possible to push the slider 19 into the groove 12, against the bottom 13 of the latter, and to make it slide upwards so that the heels 20 are retained by the wings 15.
  • the slide 19 is then pushed upwards until the fingers 21 are located higher than the lower flanks 25 of the grooves 24 of the plinth 23 presented opposite the foot while resting song on the ground .
  • the plinth 23 is pushed against the foot so that the fingers 21 penetrate into the grooves 24 and the screw 26 is driven from the upper face of the bottom 2 to push down the slider 19 whose fingers 21 cooperating with the lower faces of the grooves clamp the plinth 23 both against the foot 1 and against the ground, thus ensuring perfect immobilization of the plinth and its close application against the ground.
  • Disassembly of the plinth does not pose any difficulty either since it suffices to loosen the screw 26 and to withdraw it over a sufficient height so that the slide can move automatically upwards when the plinth 23 is removed, these fingers 21 emerging from the grooves 24.
  • the fixing device is applicable not only to feet adjustable in height, but also to non-adjustable feet, having a single groove. Furthermore, even in the case of feet which are adjustable in height by rotation of one part with respect to another, it may be sufficient to provide a single groove when the pitch of the thread allowing this adjustment is sufficiently fine.
  • the use of a slide comprising a single finger may be sufficient to fix the plinth, which is clamped, by the finger, both against the foot and against the ground. .
