Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a piece of furniture, in particular to a storage piece of furniture, as well as to a storage unit formed from such pieces of furniture.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce furniture, and in particular cupboards, with curved walls, extremely easy to assemble and space-saving to store and to pack.
  • a piece of furniture comprising at least two uprights, two of these uprights being fixedly connected to each other, at least one sheet of bendable material having elastic resistance to this bending, each sheet being retained in its bent form by two of the aforementioned uprights, as well as at least one horizontal storage shelf supported by support means provided on the uprights and / or on the sheet or sheets of bendable material.
  • this piece of furniture comprises three uprights and two sheets of bendable material and each sheet of bendable material is connected, on the one hand, to one of the two uprights connected to each other so fixed, and, on the other hand, to a third upright, so that the elastic return forces of each of the two sheets act in divergent directions on the third upright.
  • the uprights each have at least one longitudinal slot, in which is stuck an edge of sheet of bendable material.
  • a storage unit comprising several of these pieces of furniture assembled together, as modular elements.
  • edges of two sheets of flexible material belonging to two different modular pieces of furniture are wedged simultaneously in one of the longitudinal slots of a single amount.
  • the cabinet according to the invention is a cabinet-type storage cabinet which comprises three uprights 1, 2, 3, the uprights 1 and 2 of which are connected to each other so fixed by means of crosspieces 4 (see FIGS. 2 and 3), as well as two sheets 5 and 6 of flexible material having an elastic resistance to this flexing, for example of wood-based material, as sold on the market under the trade name of Triplex, Unalit or other.
  • These sheets 5 and 6 are each retained, in a bent form, by two uprights 1 and 3 and respectively 2 and 3.
  • the elastic forces returning these sheets to their original plane position act on the upright 3 in divergent directions and thus maintain in upright position this amount, originally independent of the other two amounts 1 and 2.
  • the maintenance of the two sheets 5 and 6 in bent form gives them better rigidity and gives, from planar material at the start , a partially rounded shape to the finished piece of furniture.
  • the uprights support horizontal storage shelves 9 which have an appropriate shape and which serve additionally to reinforce the panels 5 and 6, the latter sometimes having a tendency to bend in a manner which is not necessarily aesthetic. To do this, these shelves have cutouts corresponding to the places where the uprights project inwardly relative to the shelves. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the shelves 9 are supported by means of the crosspieces 4 and of support elements 10 fixed on the upright 3 at the same height as the crosspieces 4.
  • the front face of the cabinet located between the uprights 1 and 2, is closed by a closure panel 7 ca p abl e to pivot on the upright 1 by means of hinges 8 (see Figure 2), and a cover panel 20, supported by the uprights, can be provided to close the opening of the top of the cabinet.
  • the two uprights 1 and 2 connected to each other each have a longitudinal slot 11 and 12. These slots are open on the same side relative to the plane imaginary connecting these two amounts.
  • the upright 3, located on the same side, has two longitudinal slots 13 and 14 open on two of the opposite sides of this upright and, in the illustrated case, they are arranged so that after assembly, the sheets 5 and 6 are each bent at an angle of 90 ° to their position not connected to the upright 3.
  • the slots 11, 12, 13 and 14 are provided wider than the thickness of the sheets 5 and 6, so that they can be wedged in the slots by clamping tongues 15 inserted in the slots along the edges of the sheets.
  • retaining means such as pins or pins, passing through bores 16, provided for this purpose in the amounts 1 to 3, the edges of the sheets 5 and 6 and the clamping tongues 15, retain the sheet edges in the aforesaid slots.
  • FIG. 6 only the two uprights 1 and 2 and a single sheet 17 of flexible material are provided. This is wedged by its two longitudinal edges in the slots 11 and 12 and is therefore capable of being bent by an angle of 180 ° relative to its position connected to only one of the two uprights 1 or 2. In this case it is necessary to provide, in addition, support elements 19 fixed directly on the sheet 17, to support the shelves 9 in an additional support point .
  • the furniture according to the invention has the advantage of being able to be stored and delivered in the form of planar elements and of being able to be easily assembled by the user himself, while obtaining furniture with rounded shapes.
  • Pieces of furniture can also serve as modular elements in a storage unit, some variants of which are illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • sheets of flexible material can also be made of other flexible materials, for example of metallic materials, in particular of sheet steel, or of hard, flexible synthetic material, for example of the type of product sold under the trade name Plexiglas.
  • the sheets of flexible material do not extend over the entire length of the uprights, thus leaving the possibility of access to various stages of the furniture without passing through the front face.
  • closure panel 7 only partially closes the space between the uprights 1 and 2 and is even completely absent.
