Description

Un assemblage pour meubles à composition variable constitue l'objet de la présente invention, et en particulier pour une structure utilisable principalement comme étagéres, mais l'assemblage peut être employé aussi pour d'autres éléments de mobilier, tels qu'une armoire, une table, un banc, un lit, une chaise ou autre, tel que par exemple pour une structure de standAn assembly for furniture with variable composition constitutes the object of the present invention, and in particular for a structure usable mainly as shelves, but the assembly can also be used for other pieces of furniture, such as a wardrobe, a table, bench, bed, chair or other, such as for example for a stand structure

Les structures de meubles à composition vanable comme les étagères sont aujourd'hui largement connues, sous différentes formes constructives Celles-ci se basent sur le concept genéral qui consiste à placer des montants ou des flancs porteurs, sur lesquels viennent s'accrocher, s'ancrer et/ou s'encastrer des éléments de tablettes. Pour obtenir une composition de ces structures selon les désirs de I'utilisateur, l'assemblage entre tablettes et montants s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'éléments d'attache simples, qui doivent développer la double fonction de support de la tablette et d'interlraison, et de rendre rigide a structure.Furniture structures with vanable composition such as shelves are widely known today, in different constructive forms. These are based on the general concept which consists in placing uprights or load-bearing sides, on which hang, anchor and / or fit shelf elements. To obtain a composition of these structures according to the wishes of the user, the assembly between shelves and uprights is carried out by means of simple fastening elements, which must develop the dual function of supporting the shelf and d 'interlaison, and to make rigid structure.

Très souvent ces moyens d'attache qui agissent au niveau du point d'encastrement de la tablette sur le montant, ne sont pas en mesure de realiser une rigidité suffisante de la structure, dans la mesure où ils doivent satisfaire aussi a l'exigence opposée, de consentir un montage et un démontage facile, au gré de l'utilisateur. Du FRA 2 178 420 il est généralement connu d'utiliser des crampons munis d'ergots pour réaliser l'assemblage de panneaux. Du FRA 2 074 449 il est par ailleurs connu d'assembler des éléments verticaux avec des éléments transversaux au moyen de chevilles d'ancrage.Very often these fastening means which act at the level of the point of embedding of the shelf on the upright, are not able to achieve sufficient rigidity of the structure, insofar as they must also satisfy the opposite requirement , to consent to easy assembly and disassembly, at the discretion of the user. FRA 2 178 420 it is generally known to use crampons provided with lugs to carry out the assembly of panels. From FRA 2,074,449 it is also known to assemble vertical elements with transverse elements by means of anchor pins.

Le but de la présente invention est précise- ment d'offrir un assemblage pour une struture à composition variable, permettant en même temps un montage facile, sans l'exigence d'outils spéciaux et assurant toutefois un ancrage parfait entre montants et tablettes ainsi que la rigidité de l'ensemble.The purpose of the present invention is precisely to offer an assembly for a structure with variable composition, allowing at the same time easy assembly, without the requirement of special tools and ensuring however a perfect anchoring between uprights and shelves as well as the rigidity of the whole.

Ce résultat s'obtient par le fait que l'assemblage, selon la présente invention comprend pour la liaison entre montants et tablettes, des éléments d'accrochage par simple cheville, au point d'encastrement entre la tablette et le montant, et des éléments d'ancrage en forme de tirants rigides disposés environ à 450 par rapport à la tablette et au montant, et encastrés dans ces derniers.This result is obtained by the fact that the assembly, according to the present invention comprises for the connection between uprights and shelves, hooking elements by simple dowel, at the point of embedding between the shelf and the upright, and elements anchor in the form of rigid tie rods arranged at approximately 45 ° relative to the shelf and the upright, and embedded in the latter.

Plus en détail, ces tirants d'ancrage sont constitués chacun, d'un élément en rond d'acier rectiligne, avec les deux extrémités repliées à 90 Ces extrémités sont encastrées, legérement à force dans des trous perces dans l'épaisseur des tablettes et des montants, parallelement a la surface de contact de ces derniers, ces trous étant relativement distants de ladite surface de contact.In more detail, these anchor rods each consist of a round element of rectilinear steel, with the two ends folded at 90. These ends are recessed, slightly by force in holes drilled in the thickness of the shelves and uprights, parallel to the contact surface of the latter, these holes being relatively distant from said contact surface.

Les autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'assemblage pour la structure de meuble se référant à la présente invention, ressortent de la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation préféré de l'invention, illustré par les dessins annexés, et notamment:

  • Fig. 1: vue en perspective schématique d'un type d'étagéres réalisable avec la structure selon la présente invention
  • Fig.2: vue en élévation, partiellement en coupe, représentant le point d'attache d'une tablette à un montant
  • Fig. 3: vue analogue à celle de la fig 2, mais qui se réfère au point d'attache d'un montant de table au plateau de ceile-ci
  • Fig.4: vue de profil. partiellement en coupe du même point d'attache de la fig 2
  • Fig. 5: vue en plan d'un element de rond d'acier replié en forme de U.
The other characteristics and advantages of the assembly for the furniture structure referring to the present invention appear from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, illustrated by the appended drawings, and in particular:
  • Fig. 1: schematic perspective view of a type of shelf achievable with the structure according to the present invention
  • Fig. 2: elevation view, partially in section, representing the point of attachment of a shelf to an upright
  • Fig. 3: view similar to that of FIG 2, but which refers to the point of attachment of a table upright to the tray of this one
  • Fig. 4: side view. partially in section of the same attachment point in fig 2
  • Fig. 5: plan view of a round steel element folded into a U shape.

Un exemple de meuble qu'il est possible de construire avec l'assemblage selon la présente invention est représenté par les étagères illustrées a la fig.1 1 Celles-ci se composent comme d'habitude de montants latéraux 1 et 2, auxquels sont liés des tablettes 3, qui peuvent être positionnées à différentes hauteurs.An example of furniture which it is possible to build with the assembly according to the present invention is represented by the shelves illustrated in fig. 1 1 These consist as usual of lateral uprights 1 and 2, to which are linked shelves 3, which can be positioned at different heights.

Un tel positionnement est effectué comme montré dans la fig 2, au moyen:

  • - d'un élément d'accrochage, constitue d'une simple cheville 4, qui s'encastre d'un cote dans un trou 3 de la tablette 3, et ae i'autre coté dans un trou 1 du montant 1 Cette chevi!le assure !e positionnement correct de la tablette.
  • - d'un moyen d'ancrage, constitué au moins par un tirant rigide 5, disposé environ a 45 par rapport à la tablette et au montant et qui est encastré dans ces éléments. Puisque les positions d'encastrement du tirant 5, sont éloignées du point d'accrochage constitue par la cheville 4, l'on réalise un parfait ancrage réciproque de ces éléments et une structure d'une grande agidite. rendant impossible les oscillations de la tablette par rapport au montant.
Such positioning is carried out as shown in fig 2, by means of:
  • - A hooking element, consists of a simple dowel 4, which fits on one side into a hole 3 of the shelf 3, and has the other side in a hole 1 of the upright 1 This peg! ensures correct positioning of the tablet.
  • - An anchoring means, constituted at least by a rigid tie rod 5, disposed approximately a 45 relative to the shelf and to the upright and which is embedded in these elements. Since the mounting positions of the tie rod 5 are distant from the point of attachment formed by the pin 4, a perfect reciprocal anchoring of these elements is achieved and a structure of great agiticity. making it impossible for the tablet to oscillate relative to the upright.

Comme l'on peut voir a la fig. 5, le tirant rigide 5, est constitué de préférence par un rond d'acier rectiligne, dont les extrémitees à 90°, et forment un U.As can be seen in fig. 5, the rigid tie 5, preferably consists of a rectilinear steel ring, the ends of which are at 90 °, and form a U.

Comme le montre clairement la 5g. 4, l'encastrement du tirant 5 sur les tablettes et les montants, est réalisé par l'intermédiaire des extrémités repliées 5' du tirant 5 qui pénètrent légèrement à force respectivement dans les trous 3a et 3b de la tablette et les trous 1 du montant. La fig. 1 montre que chaque tablette est pourvue (en deux endroits relativement distants de ses extrémités opposées) de paires de trous 3a et 3b, tandis que les montants sont pourvus d'une série de trous 1 répartis a intervalles réguliers sur leur hauteur Les trous 3a et 3b, ainsi que les trous 1", sont percés dans l'épaisseur des tablettes et des montants, et ont leurs axes parallèles à la surface de contact de ces éléments, comme le montrent clairement les dessins.As the 5g clearly shows. 4, the anchoring of the tie rod 5 on the shelves and the uprights is produced by means of the folded ends 5 ′ of the tie rod 5 which penetrate slightly by force respectively into the holes 3a and 3b of the shelf and the holes 1 of the upright . Fig. 1 shows that each shelf is provided (in two places relatively distant from its opposite ends) with pairs of holes 3a and 3b, while the uprights are provided with a series of holes 1 distributed at regular intervals over their height The holes 3a and 3b, as well as the 1 "holes, are drilled in the thickness of the shelves and the uprights, and have their axes parallel to the contact surface of these elements, as clearly shown in the drawings.

La disposition de la fig. 1, montre comment il est possible de relier les tablettes et les montants par l'intermédiaire d'une paire de tirants 5 en correspondance à ses deux extrémités (cela se vérifie pour la tablette la plus haute et pour celle la plus basse des étagères de la fig. 1. Cette paire de tirants est disposée sur la partie frontale ainsi que sur la partie postérieure des étagères. L'emploi d'une paire de tirants 5 en correspondance avec chaque point d'encastrement est indispensable si l'on désire que ceux-ci réalisent la fonction, décrite auparavant, à savoir rendre la structure rigide. Ceci n'est cependant pas indispensable sur toutes les tablettes; certaines, en particulier les deux tablettes ;ntermédiaires, des étagères de la fig. 1 peuvent être soutenues par un seul tirant à chacune de ses extrémités.The arrangement of fig. 1, shows how it is possible to connect the shelves and the uprights by means of a pair of tie rods 5 corresponding to its two ends (this is true for the highest shelf and for the lowest of the shelves of Fig. 1. This pair of tie rods is placed on the front part as well as on the rear part of the shelves, the use of a pair of tie rods 5 corresponding to each installation point is essential if you want these perform the function described above, which is to make the structure rigid, but this is not essential on all shelves; some, in particular the two shelves; intermediate, shelves in Fig. 1 can be supported by a single tie at each of its ends.

Dans ce cas, on peut tout à fait renoncer à l'emploi de la cheville 4 d'accrochage; ceci facilite notablement l'éventuel déplacement en hauteur de l'une des deux tablettes intermédiaires décrites ci-dessus. L'emploi d'un ou plusieurs tirants est laissé au libre choix de l'utilisateur, compte tenu du degré de rigidité désiré de la structure, du poids que les tablettes doivent supporter et de considérations d'esthétique.In this case, it is entirely possible to renounce the use of the anchoring pin 4; this notably facilitates the possible displacement in height of one of the two intermediate shelves described above. The use of one or more tie rods is left to the free choice of the user, taking into account the desired degree of rigidity of the structure, the weight that the shelves must support and aesthetic considerations.

La fig. 3 montre comment l'assemblage, selon la présente invention, peut être utilisé non seulement pour des étagères, mais aussi par exemple pour une table. Dans ce cas, le montant 6 de la table (qui sera de préférence formé d'une paroi s'étendant sur toute la largeur de la table) est avant out encastré sous le plateau 7 de ladite table au moyen d'une cheville 8 analogue à la cheville 4 de la fig. 2. Entre autre, la rigidité nécessaire entre le montant et le plateau de la table est obtenue au moyen d'une paire de tirant 9 absolument identiques aux tirants 5 de la fig. 2.Fig. 3 shows how the assembly, according to the present invention, can be used not only for shelves, but also for example for a table. In this case, the amount 6 of the table (which will preferably be formed by a wall extending over the entire width of the table) is before out embedded under the plate 7 of said table by means of a similar pin 8 at pin 4 of fig. 2. Among other things, the necessary rigidity between the upright and the table top is obtained by means of a pair of tie rods 9 absolutely identical to the tie rods 5 of FIG. 2.

Aucune précision supplémentaire apparaît ici nécessaire pour illustrer le moce d'encastrement des tirants 9 sur le montant et sur le plateau de la table, puisque il s'agit du même type d'encastrement décrit en référence à la fig. 4.No additional details appear necessary here to illustrate the installation of the tie rods 9 on the upright and on the table top, since it is the same type of installation described with reference to FIG. 4.

Comme déjà énoncé, l'assemblage selon la présente invention peut être employé outre pour les étagères ou les tables, aussi pour d'autres types de meubles, comme par exemple des armoires en général, des lits, des bancs, des sièges, des structures pour exposition ou similaire.As already stated, the assembly according to the present invention can be used in addition to shelves or tables, also for other types of furniture, such as for example cupboards in general, beds, benches, seats, structures for exhibition or similar.
