Definitions

  • Modular element for furniture and pieces of furniture comprising at least one such element.
  • the invention relates to the furniture industry and more particularly the manufacture of KITS furniture sold in spare parts to the user and assembled by the latter without special knowledge.
  • the present invention overcomes these drawbacks by the use of a modular element used in the constitution of many pieces of furniture, the modular element being reusable by the user for the production of pieces of furniture different from that originally fitted.
  • the subject of the invention is a modular element for furniture, characterized in that it is constituted by a flat multilateral frame of which at least two of the opposite sides are each provided with at least one mortise opening onto the main faces of the frame and d '' a bore orthogonally crossing the corresponding mortise (s).
  • each of the main faces of the frame is released between two of the opposite sides to form a housing extending between the inner edges of said sides to the outer edges of the other two sides, the housing of each main face being oriented perpendicular to that of the other side.
  • These housings can each receive a filling element, which can be only a utility panel (to constitute for example a tray), a decorative panel or in a vertical position constitute upright-support for shelves or drawers.
  • a filling element can be only a utility panel (to constitute for example a tray), a decorative panel or in a vertical position constitute upright-support for shelves or drawers.
  • the frame is made of wood, each of its sides being constituted by two battens offset in thickness, capping by straddling, at each of their ends, one of the battens on each adjacent side the battens on each side being separated in the central part of the said side by a shim whose thickness corresponds to that of the adjacent steeplings straddled.
  • each frame can be made of molded plastic.
  • the above frame can alone or in several copies, enter into the realization of many pieces of furniture.
  • two frames placed opposite one another can be assembled by spacers to constitute in particular table legs, armchairs, etc.
  • the modular element for furniture according to the invention is constituted by a flat quadrilateral frame 1, here rectangular, at least two of the opposite sides of which are each provided with at least a mortise 2 (here two mortises 2a, 2b) and an orthogonal hole 3 crossing the mortises 2.
  • the mortises and holes on two opposite sides are located on one of the two transverse planes of symmetry of the frame. They could as well be located asymmetrically with respect to this plane or symmetrically on either side of said plane.
  • the frame is made of wood, each side comprising two battens 4-5 offset in thickness (fig. 2-3).
  • the relative arrangement of the battens 4-5 on the sides will be described only with reference to those shown in Figure 2.
  • the longitudinal battens 4a and 5a are assembled by straddling with the transverse battens 4b and 5b on the one hand, 4c and 5c on the other.
  • the longitudinal battens 4d and 5d are of course assembled in the same way with the same transverse battens 4b-5c and 4c-5c.
  • connection of the battens 4-5 to each other and to the wedges 6 is ensured by any suitable means and such as bonding.
  • each main face of the frame comprises a housing 7, either longitudinal 7a (fig. 3), or transverse 7b (fig.2) extending between the inner edges of two opposite sides to the outer edges of the other two sides.
  • the housings 7a-7b of the main faces are oriented perpendicularly to one another.
  • Each of these housings 7 can receive a filling element ("functional" or decorative tray in all desired material, wood, glass, etc.) the upper surface of which extends in the plane of the free surface adjacent to the corresponding sides so as to form a continuous face.
  • a filling element functional or decorative tray in all desired material, wood, glass, etc.
  • FIGS. 4 to 7 The modular element according to the invention and as shown in Figures 1 to 3, can be used alone or with others in the production of furniture.
  • Four exemplary embodiments are shown in FIGS. 4 to 7.
  • the coffee table in Figure 4 illustrates the most common use of the modular element: arrangement of two modular elements face to face and assembly by one or more spacers.
  • each spacer 9 are shaped so as to have as many tenons as mortises 2 receiving them, formed in the corresponding side of each frame 1 with which the spacer 9 cooperates.
  • each end of the spacer 9 carries two tenons cooperating with the two mortises 2a-2b on the corresponding side of each frame 1.
  • Maintaining the 9-frame spacer assembly 1 is obtained by a pin engaged in the corresponding bore 3 of the wedge 6 and in corresponding holes passing through the studs of each spacer 9.
  • the mechanical connection by tenons-mortises can possibly be reinforced by gluing in the case of a final realization.
  • two frames 1 arranged vertically face to face are made integral by three spacers 9, each of which may, to present, as shown, a thickness thinner than that used in the table of FIG. 4, to be provided at each of its ends with only one stud.
  • the frames 1 and the spacers 9 constitute the structure of the chair on which the seat 10 and the back 11 of said chair are fixed.
  • the seat 10 comprises: two cross members 12 each slid into the free space between the battens on each of the vertical sides of each frame 1 and bearing on the two wedges 6 of these frames, and a flexible strip 13 carrying at its ends two transverse loops in each of which extends a cross member 12.
  • the backrest 11 includes a backrest 14 articulated on two supports 15 each having a base fitting into the free space between the battens on the corresponding side of the frame and being retained therein by gravity.
  • the backsplash 14 comprises a flexible strip extending between two uprights articulated on the supports 15.
  • the flexible strips of the seat 10 and that of the backrest 14 can be made of any suitable material such as textile canvas, plastic canvas, leather, etc.
  • the base and the top are formed by modular elements.
  • the base includes two frames 1 located face to face and assembled by two spacers 9 one lower, the other upper (not shown).
  • the tray itself includes a frame 1 provided in its upper housing with a filling panel 8.
  • the frame of the tray can be fixed to the base by any suitable means, either on the upper spacer 9, or directly on the vertical frames 1.
  • a coffee table can be made in the same way using the vertical frames in the other direction, the table being then aligned with the longitudinal sides of the frame frames.
  • two frames 1 arranged vertically face to face, support a plurality of crosspieces 16 which can constitute shelves, trays, or drawer supports.
  • the piece of furniture comprises, in each frame, parallel and juxtaposed blades 17, inserted in pairs between the battens 4-5, blades 17 having notches 18 in their adjacent edges forming mortises in which the tenons carried by the ends of the crosspieces 16.
  • the number of sides of the modular element need not be four; the concept of the invention is also implemented with elements with a number of sides other than four.
