Definitions

  • the invention relates to an invisible support for fixing shelves and the like against walls, of the type having a horizontal element which can be inserted in a complementarily-shaped cavity in a wall and which vertically constrains the shelf to the support.
  • the above type of shelf is commonly used because of its aesthetic characteristics, which largely derive from the fact that the support of the shelf is totally hidden from view.
  • one or more cavities are made in the wall, which cavities are accessible from the side of the shelf facing the wall.
  • the aim of the present invention is thus to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • the invention achieves its set aim by providing an invisible support having a horizontal element which can be inserted in a cavity in the shelf and comprising at least one adjustable rawl which is hidden in the cavity and which interacts with the walls of the shelf in such a way as to permit free horizontal movement of the shelf when neared to the support, but preventing its backwards movement, that is, its opposite horizontal movement away from the wall.
  • the support is characterized in that it is extremely economical and in that the shelf constraint in a horizontal direction is very rapid, effective, and has no need of glues and/or further intermediate elements.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that the rawl can perform its task under any circumstances and independently of the size of the assembly play between the support and the cavity.
  • the play is always anulled by the raw which, thanks to its elastic fin elements, always takes up the slide play, thus blocking the shelf and the support rigidly.
  • the invention essentially consists of an invisible support 6 for fixing shelves 1 to walls 5.
  • the support 6 of figure 1 comprises a horizontal element 2 arranged over the entire length of the support 6, and is insertable in a cavity 3 which is complementary in size to the shelf 1.
  • the horizontal element 2 preferably made in a single body with a vertical element 12 which is conventionally screwable to the wall 5, as in figure 3, constrains the shelf 1 to the support 6 in a vertical direction 10, and is in continuous supporting connection over its entire length.
  • the support 6 has several rawls 4 along its horizontal element 2, which can be seen clearly in figures 2 and 3, which rawls 4 will be hidden in the cavities 3 and which interact between the horizontal element 2 and at least a wall 5 of the cavity 3 such as to permit free horizontal movement of the shelf 1 with respect to the support 6 during the nearing phase, but preventing a retrograde movement of the same.
  • the rawl 4 comprises at least one flaring element 7 made in a single body with the horizontal element 2 and supported by the said element 2, from which it flares out towards the wall 5 of the cavity 3, in such as way as to snag into the shelf and prevent its retrograde horizontal movement.
  • the flaring element 7 elastically meets the wall of the cavity and annuls any play existing between the horizontal element 3 and the cavity 3.
  • the flaring element acts in a transversal direction 10 to the horizontal direction of the relative movement between the shelf 1 and the support 6 and, if the construction is as in figure 3, in which the transversal direction 10 coincides with the vertical direction, implicates the further advantage of preventing the shelf from wobbling on the support 6.
  • the flaring element 7 is preferably arranged at a slot 8 made in the horizontal element 2 and arranged across it.
  • This solution has the advantage of permitting a sure guide to a tool stem, such as a simple screwdriver, to enable the flaring element to be positionally adjusted. From the figures it can be understood that when the support 6 is made of metal, or in another plastically deformable material, and the position of the flaring element 7 in the slot 8 can be adjusted by causing plastic deformations on the flaring element 7 up until the shelf 1 is constrained to the support with the desired force.
  • the horizontal element 2 is a straight rod having a polygonal section, and can be inserted in a cylindrical cavity 3 in the shelf 1.
  • the rawl 4 can be made of a horizontal flaring element 7 having one partially hooked end 35 and supported to a washer 30 which can be slotted on a pivot 31 of the horizontal element 2.
  • the flaring element 7 (see figure 7) can be inserted between the wall 5 of the cylindrical cavity 3 and the edge 33 of the horizontal element 2 circumscribed by the wall 5.
  • a milled groove 32 is made on the horizontal element 2, against the bottom of which groove 32 the flaring element 7 reacts elastically to exert its above-described action on the cavity 3 of the shelf 1.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show a further embodiment in which the rawl 4 has two opposite flaring elements 7 made in a cylindrical bush 36 (see figure 6), which bush is slidably associated in a correspondingly cylindrical tract 37 of the horizontal element 2.
