Definitions
- the present invention relates to a combination of structural elements for realizing modular furniture.
- Structural elements for realizing modular furniture essentially comprising stiles, shelves, panels and members for the reciprocal jointed, fixed or movable connection of said elements are well known.
- US-A-4 146 140 discloses a sturdy vertical beam having slotted sides with slotted rails into which shelves, cabinets and the like can be hung by means of carrier hooks.
- FR-A-2.461.140 discloses a combination of modular elements suitable for realizing exposition or office stands, comprising square beams provided with vertical grooves with which transverse panels engage.
- FR-A-2 370 452 discloses a combination of shelves having their faces provided with a multiple drilling into which supporting elements for horizontal panels engage.
- FR-A-2 064 728 discloses a combination of structural elements for realizing furniture comprising a U cross section beam extending in a T portion and provided on its major faces with a keyhole shaped multiple drilling for the engagement of elements supporting the shelves.
- the elements described in the cited Patents are generally realized with the height corresponding to the height of traditional rooms, and with the width and depth corresponding to standardized values allowing the manufacturer and the seller to limit the range of products to be stored at the warehouse.
- the object of the invention is to eliminate such drawbacks and to realize a combination of structural elements for the formation of furniture of any height and with functional features, variable according to their arrangement and utilization.
- Another object of the invention is to realize a combination of semifinished and pre-varnished structural elements ready for use.
- each stile having a substantially rectangular cross-section and a conformation symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane parallel to the major faces, characterized in that each stile comprises:
- each pin having an end portion and, adjacent thereto, radially projecting protrusions which are narrower in one plane than and wider in a plane perpendicular to the one plane than the opening of the third groove; the end portion and the radially projecting protrusions of the pin being passed through the opening of the respective third groove so that the end portion enters one of the blind holes, the pin then being turned about its longitudinal axis through 90° so that the radially projecting protrusions engage the walls of the inner portion of the third groove, thus preventing withdrawal of the pin.
- the combination of structural elements according to the invention comprises a stile or post 1 constituted by a board of length compatible with the machines for its formation and with the space for its storing; it is preferably realized in pre-varnished wood, and it presents a longitudinal dove-tailed groove 2 on each major face.
- blind holes 3 are provided with fixed pitch, for the bayonet-engagement of a pin 4, 4' provided at one end with' flare-shaped extension 5 having an outline corresponding to the outline of the cross section of the groove 2.
- each pin 4 is provided with an orthogonally projecting portion 6, while each pin 4' is provided with a conical niche 7; the function of the projecting portion 6 and of the niche 7 will be clarified later on.
- a further substantially rectangular groove 8 is provided for insertion of back panels 9 or for the housing of seals 10 with doors 11.
- the stile 1 is moreover provided with a further rectangular groove 12 for the insertion of the side panel 13 of the piece of furniture.
- the edges of the end face nearest to the groove 8 have a part-cylindrical shape 14 for the eventual partial housing of hinges 15 of articulation of the doors 11.
- the invention comprises a number of panels constituting respectively, as well as the already indicated side panels 13 and the back panels 9, boards making up partitions 16, shelves 17, the top piece and the bottom piece 18 of the piece of furniture.
- the top piece and the bottom piece 18 of the piece of furniture are provided near each shorter side with a cylindrical hole 19 orthogonal to the side itself and complementary to the pin 4'.
- the said hole communicates with respectively the lower surface of the top piece or with the upper surface of the bottom piece 18, through a further cylindrical hole 20 housing an internally threaded bushing 21.
- the distance between the side of the top piece or of the bottom piece 18 and the axis of the threaded bushing corresponds exactly to the distance between the face of the stile and the axis of the conical niche 7 of the pin 4'.
- a screw 22 with a conical tip complementary to the conical niche 7 is screwed into each threaded bushing 21.
- the pins 4' are introduced into the holes 19 of the panels constituting the top piece and the bottom piece 18 and one tightens the screws 22 which, by penetrating with their conical tips into the corresponding conical niches 7 of the pins 4', fasten such panels to their corresponding stiles.
- seals 10 are applied to the vertical grooves near the openings that must be shut.
- the longitudinal groove 2' has a cross-like conformation (cf. Fig. 4).
