Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved device for removably mounting a plinth between the base wall of a furniture item and the floor, particularly but not exclusively for a kitchen furniture unit.
  • metal and/or plastics hooks have been proposed in the form of a plate to be fixed to the inside of the plinth, with two pairs of suitably shaped opposing arms projecting from the plate to be snap-fitted to the feet of the furniture unit.
  • Mounting devices of this type are completely satisfactory in operation but require to be fixed to the inner face of the plinth in positions spaced apart by a predetermined distance corresponding with the feet of the furniture unit.
  • Mounting devices formed as a single piece from plastics material have also been proposed comprising a means for its fixing to the upper edge of the plinth, from which an elastically yieldable annular element extends to act between said fixing means and the base wall of the furniture unit, in the sense of retaining the plinth in position by the thrust exerted on it and which is discharged to the floor. See DE-U-8 526 160.
  • Mounting devices of this type suffer from the drawback that once inserted and acting between the base wall of the furniture unit and the plinth, the elastically yieldable annular plastics element tends to quickly lose its elasticity characteristics, its deformation then becoming practically permanent so that the device is no longer able to ensure stable positioning of the plinth, particularly after it has been removed a number of times, for example to clean the floor below the furniture unit.
  • a main drawback of elastically yieldable ring-type devices derives from the fact that their correct positioning under working conditions, ie the position in which the plinth is perfectly perpendicular to the base of the furniture unit, is left to the skill and precision of the installer.
  • the yieldability of the ring means that the plinth may be mounted in a position which is not perfectly perpendicular.
  • a further drawback of these devices is that they are not always easy to grip by the user to remove the plinth.
  • a further drawback is that the structure of devices provided with an elastically yieldable plastics ring is such that it is not completely hidden from view, in which respect they could seem anti-aesthetic.
  • FR-A-2 136 075 shows a piece of furniture in which is positioned a device which would be suitable for mounting a plinth on a wall.
  • the general object of the present invention is to obviate the aforesaid drawbacks of the known art by providing a device which ensures correct and time-stable mounting of the plinth even after repeated removal, and which allows the plinth to be both mounted and removed in a simple manner.
  • said thrust surface consists of a bar fixed perpendicularly to the top of the shaft and terminating at one end in a hand gripping appendix.
  • the shaft and bar are rotatable together within said guides, said shaft comprising travel stop means cooperating with said fixing means.
  • the mounting device is indicated overall by 10 and is formed structurally in two parts, namely a plate or bracket 11 for fixing the device to a plinth, and a plunger 12.
  • the plate 11 comprises a pair of flanges 13 for its fixing to the upper edge of a plinth 14, as shown in Figures 10-15, a pair of guide rings 15 for the plunger 12, and a shoulder 16 the purpose of which is explained hereinafter.
  • the plunger 12 comprises three parts, namely a shaped shaft 17, a bar-like thrust surface 18 provided at the top of said shaft 17 and terminating at one end with a hand gripping appendix 19, and a spring 20 within which said shaft 17 is inserted.
  • said shaft 17 has a polygonal section 17a, the length of which corresponds to the useful travel of the shaft 17.
  • the plunger 12 formed in the stated manner is slidingly mounted within guide rings 15 and is forced into snap-engagement within the shoulder 16 via a head 21 with which the portion 17a of the shaft 17 terminates.
  • the spring 20 exerts its thrust action between the shoulder 16 and the bar 18.
  • the head 21 with which the shaft 17 terminates cooperates with the shoulder 16 to prevent the plunger 12 escaping from its seat.
  • the shoulder 16 cooperates with the polygonal section 17a to guide the travel of the shaft 17 in order to maintain the bar 18 in the required operating position.
  • Several mounting devices 10 can be provided along the same plinth, according to the plinth length.
  • the front plinth is removed by simply gripping the gripping appendix 19 and pulling in the direction of the arrow F1 ( Figure 14). Having removed the front plinth, the side plinth can be removed from the inside.
  • the mounting device of the invention enables the plinth to be easily fitted in a correct and time-stable position, even after repeated removal.
  • the object stated in the introduction to the description is therefore attained.
