Definitions

  • the invention relates to a piece of furniture comprising releasably arranged parts suitable for assembling a case or other pieces of furniture in particular a bedstead.
  • Such a piece of furniture is known in various designs.
  • a case to be placed on the ground is used, the two side boards of which bear on the floor by their lower edges.
  • These side boards are releasable and may serve as boards bounding the ends of a bedstead after they have been turned through 90° so that the edges placed on the rear side for the case are directed towards the floor.
  • one of the standing edges of the side boards of the bed has served as a carrying edge for the case so that after a long time of use said edge may be damaged, which becomes visible in building up a bed. This is aesthetically little attractive.
  • the height of the side boards of the case has to correspond to the width of the bed to be formed.
  • the invention has for its object to construct a piece of furniture in a manner such that it does not exhibit said limitations and disadvantages of the known technique.
  • the invention provides a piece of furniture of the kind set forth in the preamble which is provided with a chest-like lower case of a given depth and an upper case of smaller depth disposed on the former, the rear walls of said cases mainly extending in the same vertical plane, whilst the front and rear walls of said upper case are releasably mounted and are suitable for use as boundaries of the ends of a bedstead.
  • a so-called building-on system may be conceived here, in which the piece of furniture is initially used as a chest of drawers or as a store for baby articles and, for example, after a couple of years is changed into a child's bedstead or a bedstead also suitable for adults, whilst all component parts are reusable, be it in a slightly differing assembly.
  • the lower case may furthermore be provided with standing sidewalls, which are interconnected at or near the upper edges by a top board, as the case may be, with drawers suspended thereto and by at least one beam at or near their lower edges.
  • the piece of furniture in accordance with the invention is characterized by means on the sidewalls for fastening the top board with the drawers at a distance below the top edges of the sidewalls to create a play nook for kids.
  • a further embodiment of the piece of furniture in accordance with the invention is characterized by means provided on the side walls for fixing the top board with the drawers at a distance below the top edges of the sidewalls to form a writing desk.
  • the piece of furniture can be adapted to the optimum working height to wit about 90 cms for a chest of drawers, of about 55 cms for the play nook for kids or of about 75 cms for a writing desk.
  • the piece of furniture has a particular feature in that at least one of the beams interconnecting the sidewalls can be fastened to the sidewalls as a ledger adjacent the rear face of the underside.
  • the piece of furniture has the particular feature that the parts left after removal of the front wall and the rear wall from the upper case form a part suitable for use as a rack.
  • a rack may be suitable for deposition on the ground or for suspension to a wall.
  • Fig. 1 shows a piece of furniture 1 comprising a chest-like lower case 2 and an upper case 3 disposed on the former.
  • the rear walls of the cases 2 and 3 are located substantially in the same vertical plane.
  • the rear wall 4 is releasably arranged on a rack 6 and the front wall 5 is constructed in the form of a flap which is pivotable between the position indicated by solid lines and the position indicated by broken lines designated by 5'.
  • the arrow 7 indicates the direction of tilting down the flap 5 to form a working table and to open or render accessible the interior of the rack 6 and hence of the upper case 3.
  • the lower case 2 comprises a loosely arranged inner case 8 with doors 9, 10, which are at the same time the doors of the lower case 2.
  • the lower case 2 furthermore comprises standing sidewalls 11, 12, which are interconnected near their upper edges by a top board 13 with two drawers 14, 15 suspended thereto and near their lower edges by two beams 16 and 17.
  • the beams 16 and 17 carry, moreover, the loose inner case 8. Near the top edges spacer beams 18, 19 are fastened to the sidewalls 11, 12.
  • Fig. 3 shows a potential combination of the parts of the piece of furniture 1.
  • the lower case 2 is not changed; the upper case 3 is disassembled; the rack 6 is disposed loosely, the rear wall 4 serves as a boundary for the head end of a bed and the flap 5 serves as a boundary forthe foot end of a bed.
  • the rear wall 4 and the flap 5 are connected in the manner shown in Fig. 3c by two carrying beams 20,21, which serve at the same time for supporting the bottom for a mattress.
  • Fig. 4 shows a different combination
  • Fig. 4c is identical to Fig. 3b
  • Fig. 43d is identical to Fig. 3c.
  • the play nook 22 for kids shown in Fig. 4a comprises the sidewalls 11 and 12 interconnected by the beam 17, which is removed from the lower edges of the standing sidewalls 11, 12 and fastened between the upper edges thereof, that is to say, on the rear side and by the beam 16, which is removed on the rear side from the lower edges of the standing sidewalls 11, 12 and arranged between the sidewalls about 15 cms below the beam 17.
  • the beams 16 and 17 may then serve as ledgers.
  • the top board 13 comprising the drawers 14 and 15 hanging thereon.
  • Fig. 5 shows a further combination; Fig. 5c is identical to Fig. 3b; Fig. 5d is identical to Fig. 3c. It will be apparent therefrom that the lower case 2 remaining intact in the combination of Fig. 3 is modified in the combination of Fig. 5. Attention is drawn to the reconstruction of the case 2 of Fig. 3a into a writing desk 23 of Fig. 5a and the loose case 8 of Fig. 5b, which is also shown separately in Fig. 2.
  • the writing desk 23 of Fig. 5a comprises the sidewalls 11 and 12 interconnected by the beam 16 having remained in place with respect to the construction of Figs. 1, 2 and 3 and by the beam 17, which is removed from the lower edges of the standing sidewalls 11, 12 and which is arranged between the upper edges thereof, that is to say, on the rear side as is shown in Fig. 5a.
  • the beam 17 serves, for example, as a ledger.
  • the top board 13 including the drawers 14, 15 hanging thereon is fastened.
  • Fig. 6 shows the mode of fastening the drawer 15 to the top board 13.
  • the drawer 15 has a longitudinal slot 23 co-operating with a Z-shaped guide rail 24 fastened to the lower face of the top board 13.
  • Fig. 7 shows how the spacer beam 19 is fastened to the sidewall 12.
  • a countersunk nut 25 guarded against rotation by the four bentover corners is used in the spacer beam 19 for co-operation with a bolt 26.
  • FIG. 8 finally shows the mode of fastening thetop board 13 to the sidewall 11.
  • a bolt 27 co-operates with a screwthreaded nut part arranged in a matching recess 29 on the lower face of the top board 13.
