Definitions
- the present invention relates to the furniture industry and more particularly to office furniture.
- the object of the invention consists in fact of a device which makes it possible to supply the box of modular furniture and in particular of office furniture with one or more electrical sources without electrical wires being apparent, as long as these wires condemn the furniture to remain in a fixed fixed location but on the other hand, allow supplying furniture with different currents if necessary and in almost unlimited numbers.
- the invention therefore resides in an electrical energy supply device which is formed of a parallelepipedic box constituting the furniture of which one or more panels consist of three very exactly adjusted parts, arranged parallel to the interior of the metal frame ensuring the 'assembly, in which at least one of the external elements has a longitudinal groove at the lower part of the external edge carried by a flange and an intermediate wooden slat of narrower width than the two external elements, and in which the part. just fits exactly on at least one edge of the adjacent elements.
- the groove thus prepared is able to contain an electrical conductor, the outlet of which at the upper part will be made by means of a notch forming a right angle at the end of this wooden slat to provide a cavity.
- the wooden slat has, in its thickness, at one or the other end, a possibly closable orifice, through which the slat can be removed, inspect the state of the electrical installation and then close the whole box.
- the box can thus have one or more fitted panels and thus allow the entry and arrangement of a large number of electrical connections inside the box while keeping them firmly in the groove fitted to allow their circulation. This arrangement also allows the electrical connections to flow at a right angle inside the box to achieve a more exact adjustment to the needs of the power supply.
- the device according to the invention is, therefore, simple to make, very comfortable in use and provides great security because each conductor is held in place in the groove, without risk of displacement.
- the device also respects the aesthetics of the furniture since once the panel or panels have been replaced, the electrical wires are only visible on the face top of the work plan.
- the entry of the conductor (s) is carried out thanks to the notch arranged in the middle slat in a side panel or in a bottom panel, while maintaining the adjustment of the box to the other constituent elements of this furniture even if it includes one or more elements with a drawer or flaps.
- the device according to the invention also allows the introduction of intermediate boards in the box without the conductors' path being hindered.
- the invention also relates to office furniture formed of modular elements of all kinds, thus equipped with an incorporated electrical supply.
- This office furniture can be arranged in offices, secretary tables with possible return, in bookcases, tables and the like, arising from this style of construction.
- the invention can also relate to kitchen elements, easily allowing the passage of electrical conductors and maintaining the entire aesthetic without modifying the possibilities of examination or repair of the electrical installation.
- FIG 1 shows above or laterally the constitution of the power supply device according to the invention.
- the two external elements of the panel (1) (1 ') are shown with the exit of two conductors (2) (2') at the central part of one of the two panels by an orifice (3) (3 ') arranged in the panel at its outer edge.
- At least one of the panels (1) or (1 ') carries an outer rim (4) disposed on the inner edge of the outer panel on which the conductor will be housed.
- the median panel (5) comes to rest on this rim by determining a housing in which the conductor t: t is kept immobilized and comes out at the notch (6) or (6 ') made at its terminal part.
- the middle panel (5) is cut so as to come to rest very exactly on the edge (s) without leaving a surface of continuity.
- the middle panel can be inserted by interlocking or detached by a mechanical process using a tool or else include a hinge or a spring and thus easily disengage.
- the middle panel (5) has, at one of its ends, an orifice (3 ") (3" ') drilled in the thickness of the panel.
- orifices if they are not used, can be closed by plugs or nested pellets which contribute to the aesthetics of the whole.
- Figure 2 shows a closed box with a front side face thus equipped.
- the middle slat (5) has been replaced.
- the surface of the front lateral plane is thus perfectly smooth.
- the aesthetics of the whole is in no way changed.
- the conductors (7) (7 ') enter the box through the notches arranged at the base (7) (7'), run along the central slat (5) and leave horizontally under the upper plane. They emerge on the upper plane through two orifices (8) (8 ').
- Figure 3 shows the entry of the electrical conductors at the base or on the side of the box from which the middle panel has been removed.
- the conductors emerge at the upper part either by a notch (6) or (6 ') or by an orifice (3) drilled in the upper part of the external panel (1).
- the box is shown in place with the module comprising three drawers (10) (10 ') (10 ").
- the electrical device does not interfere in any way with the opening or closing of the drawers.
- Figure 4 shows the detail of the entry and placement of the electrical conductor (12) on the flange (4) of the outer panel (1).
- the cut-out shows how the driver enters the box.
- Figure 5 shows above, the details of the assembly of a panel.
- the middle slat has exactly the same height as the outer panel (1 ') while resting on the edge of the panel which is in its immediate extension and has the same lower plane.
- the outer panel (1) or (1 ') is fitted into the metal frame (9) (9') of the box mainly by grooves arranged on the periphery of the panels and which follow the shape of the longitudinal and transverse tubular element .
- the central slat (5) further comprises an orifice pierced from one end to the other in the thickness of the slat.
- the edge of the external panel comprises said flange (4) disposed all along the panel from the end of a notch (6) and ending at the opposite notch ( 6 ').
- the housing of the electrical conductor is determined by the residual space existing between the edge of the batten (5) and approximately half of the plane determined by the flange (4).
- the side edge of the central batten can be smooth or more conveniently grooved to determine the housing in which the electrical conductor is inserted without the possibility of displacement.
- FIG. 6 represents another type of office furniture thus equipped with an energy source.
- the middle panel (5) has been replaced, the electrical conductors (8) and (8 ') on top and (7) (7') at the base, penetrate into the cabinet without altering the assembly.
