Definitions

  • This invention relates to a furniture item with superposable modular shelves.
  • industrial production costs are contained by standardizing the parts as far as possible, and reducing them to just a few types.
  • An object of the present invention is to urge this modularity to its limit by defining furniture items which can be obtained by combining just a few simple elements.
  • a further object is to define a furniture item which can be easily transformed into a chest of drawers or into a shelving unit.
  • a further object is to define a furniture item of shelving unit type which can be associated with front closure shutter elements.
  • a further object is to define a furniture item, to the interior of which access can be gained from each side.
  • a further object is to define a furniture item which can have any height.
  • a further object is to define a sectional furniture item comprising elements easily assembled within a domestic environment by the purchaser, to reduce transport and production costs.
  • a furniture item having the characteristic of being formed by superposing modules each consisting of a shelf formed as a perimetral consolidated structural element of the furniture item, each structural module being structurally completed by the base of the overlying module, the top module being structurally completed by a specific panel.
  • the furniture item has a preferably square base to enable the modules to be superposed mutually turned through 90° or through an angle which is a multiple of 90°C.
  • the modules of the furniture item form open or closed compartments.
  • Such closure is preferable effected by a shutter.
  • Said modules form slide guides for drawers.
  • lateral walls 2A and 2B of length L equal to the length of the base 1.
  • This length is preferably also equal to the width R of the base 1, so that as R equals L the modules can be freely superposed in any orientation.
  • the lateral walls 2A, 2B are fixed to the base 1 preferably by screws 3 cooperating with seats provided within its thickness.
  • the seats or holes are preferably three in number so that a screw 3A is always in a central position, so preventing assembly errors.
  • These screws are of the socket-head type, ie provided with a head comprising a hexagonal hole and tightened by an Allen key.
  • said screw heads can present a precise housing hole for cylindrical pointed pegs 4 located in a position aligned with the underlying screws 3.
  • Said pegs 4 hence enable various modules 1 to be superposed, even if positioned turned mutually through 90° or 180°.
  • tops of the walls can be combined with a suitable flat surface 5, as shown by the exploded part of Figure 5.
  • the surface 5 is however independent only when it forms a closure panel for the top of the furniture item.
  • Figure 2 shows how a module can act as a slide guide and housing for the body of a drawer 6.
  • the drawer is shown without its front to emphasize its interchangeability and to display the presence of centering and locking pegs and holes indicated by four points 7 for each of the two end edges of two sides 8A, 8B.
  • the module can be used as a containing compartment closed frontally by a shutter 8 and closed at its rear by a transverse stiffening panel 9, as visible in Figure 4.
  • This shutter is guided and supported by a specific structure 10, which is introduced into the mouth of the module ( Figure 3) and then fixed to its lateral walls 2A and 2B by usual means (Figure 4), to form an integral part of the module.
  • bars 11A, 11B each provided with a pair of wheels 12A, 12B preferably of caster type can be fixed to the module base.
  • Figure 6 shows how the modules can be superposed in an arrangement in which they are mutually turned through any multiple of 90° and closed by a top panel 13. This positioning is indicated by drawers 6A, 6B, 6C, 6D shown in a partly extracted configuration.
  • top panel 13 The role of the top panel 13 is clearly illustrated in Figure 7, in which it is shown in an "exploded" position.
