Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for assembling at least two parts along their facing planar surfaces, and is more particularly intended to be applied in the field of furniture, to connect two horizontal plates forming a plane work table with a single support base.
  • European patent EP 0 458 042 relates to a rotary locking system arranged under table tops, and cooperating with tenons located on the upper part of support legs. Each leg can either be entirely located under a single plate, or shared between two adjoining plates, whose facing edges then come into contact with one another.
  • the blocking plate of the foot is provided with buttonholes cooperating with said pins, and pivots about a vertical axis, which implies that it necessarily occupies only a limited area.
  • a plate with a circular appearance and comprising peripheral blocking means intended to be applied at the edge of the table top must be of a reasonable diameter, so as not to overflow, for obvious economic reasons. and techniques. Consequently, this system can only be applied in corner regions, in cooperation with conventional feet of small cross section.
  • Such a system moreover involves the sequential mounting of a first leg, then of the second, while the locking commands of each of the legs are difficult to access, since they are located under the lower surface of each tray. From the mounting point of view, the installation of feet under a single plate or under two horizontal plates joined by their transverse edges is equivalent.
  • a non-rotating system is disclosed by American patent US-A-2 609 264.
  • This system comprises male elements intended to cooperate with slots, the first being located on the legs while the second are arranged under the plate.
  • the locking rods provided for fixing the legs to said plate are locally active, that is to say that they are applied individually for each pair of male element / slot.
  • the object of the present invention allows instead to achieve in a single operation the fixing of a base supporting one side of a plate or two sides of two adjoining plates.
  • the simultaneous locking of the base to the tray is very easy, and is achievable from outside the volume covered by said tray, in a single maneuver by the operator.
  • the main objective of the invention is therefore to simplify in the extreme the assembly and disassembly of a base with one or two horizontal plates.
  • the invention consists of a system for assembling at least two parts along their contact surfaces of planar appearance facing one another, the first comprising at least two perpendicular buttons. provided with a groove, each button being able to be housed in an orifice of the second part, with which is associated a movable member parallel to it, on the side opposite to the facing surface of the first piece, said member being able to move between a closed position locking the two parts against each other, and an open position making it possible to separate them, characterized in that the perpendicular buttons are distributed over the entire length of the contact surface, the movable member acting simultaneously on them by sliding along the second part, along an axis defined by the line joining said buttons.
  • the two parts referred to above are of course on the one hand a horizontal plate forming a work surface, and on the other hand a base intended to support said plate.
  • buttons protruding from the lower surface of the work surface and preferably located in its corner areas, and a locking means operating by sliding and cooperating simultaneously with all of said buttons along a song.
  • the shape of the sliding locking member has therefore been the subject of a particularly in-depth study, due to its double cooperation on the one hand with the part in which it slides and on the other hand with the buttons of the horizontal plate. .
  • This movable member comprises an elongated frame whose shape is intended to cooperate with the groove of the buttons by partially closing the orifices of the second part in the closed position, said shape making it possible to free the entire surface of said orifices during sliding. aimed at obtaining the open position.
  • the movable member comprises an elastic frame made of metal wire drawing sinuosities closing part of the periphery of the surface of the orifices of the second part in the closed position.
  • the horizontal plate comprises, at one of its ends, a gripping element projecting from the surface of the second part, and allowing manipulation by sliding. between the closed position and the open position.
  • This gripping element is designed so that it can be maneuvered by simple traction or pressure exerted with the finger of the user, without excessive effort, in an area located near a edge of the horizontal plate. forming work plan.
  • This member cooperates closely with the second part, that is to say the base.
  • the mechanical interaction takes place in the upper part of the base, which is intended to support the horizontal plate, and which is called the upper sole of the base.
  • This sole is in fact a profile comprising in particular a surface in which are formed the orifices intended to accommodate the buttons of the first part, as well as cutouts, folds and stampings forming in particular the slide of the movable member.
  • said surface Located at the top of the base, said surface is flat and is configured horizontally so as to support the tray forming the work surface of the office. It is therefore in this surface that the cutouts, areas and stampings forming the slide are made, according to well known manufacturing techniques, easy to implement and significantly lowering manufacturing costs.
  • the second part and the movable member are symmetrical along a median plane which is parallel to the sliding axis and perpendicular to the facing surfaces, on either side of which are made in particular two series of orifices intended to accommodate buttons from the first two homologous parts.
  • buttons of the latter cooperate with a single set of orifices, those which are closest to the lateral edge of said plate, so that the base is included in the volume covered by it.
  • the base of the base is then close to the lateral edge of said plate.
  • the separation plane or contact plane is coincident with the plane of symmetry.
  • the means of implementing and manufacturing the invention are inexpensive, and the assembly of office elements is extremely rapid, making the invention very attractive from an economic point of view.
  • the various figures represent a preferred configuration of the invention, applied to sets of office furniture, and more specifically to the assembly of legs with one or more horizontal plates forming work plans.
  • the part of the base p shown in FIG. 1 which is directly concerned by the invention is the sole 1, cooperating with a movable locking member 2 making it possible to block a horizontal plate as will be explained in detail below. after. This is shown during assembly.
  • the upper surface of the sole 1 has holes, bends and stampings whose functions are differentiated, and will also be clarified below.
  • each plate has in the vicinity of a song only two buttons spaced so that they cooperate with orifices referenced by an identical letter (3a, 4a; 3b, 4b; ). In this case, there can therefore be a position adjustment between two distinct positions.
  • buttons are placed differently, especially if the tray is particularly large or heavy, or even to add additional buttons.
  • the movable member 2 slides in the sole, under the upper surface on which the horizontal plate 6 rests, and is produced in wire form by a bent metal rod so that it can fulfill the function assigned to it. This consists in blocking the buttons 5 when the horizontal plate 6 rests on the sole 1, and when said buttons 5 are consequently inserted into the aforementioned holes.
  • the movable member can be moved between a locking position and an unlocking position.
  • the locking position is obtained when the member 2 is in abutment at the bottom of the sole 1, because the sinuosities 7a to 7d and 8a to 8d (see FIG. 5) are then at the orifices 3a to 3d and 4a to 4d, that they partially obstruct, thus cooperating with the grooves 10 of the buttons 5 when these are inserted.
  • the release is obtained by pulling on the movable member 2 using a curved end 9 acting as a gripping element or maneuver.
  • the travel between the locking position and the unlocking position is approximately 15 mm.
  • Said movable member 2 is produced in a simple and inexpensive manner using a bent and deformed metal rod to result in the configuration of FIG. 5.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show the relative positions of the various elements of the system when the mounting operation is in progress, then completed.
  • the movable locking member is in the extended position in FIG. 2, and in abutment inside the sole 1 in FIG. 3, in which the horizontal plate 6 is locked to the base p.
  • Figure 4 completes Figure 3 showing in perspective the elements of the desk in the fixed position.
  • the two legs p support the horizontal plate 6, which cannot be separated from them since the buttons 5, four in number in this particular configuration, cooperate with the movable members 2 abutting in the soles 1.
  • the operating element 9 of said sliding member 2 is located near the longitudinal edge of the plate 6, easily accessible to the user, but covered by said plate 6 in the closed position.
  • the slide allowing the movable member 2 to slide is produced by simple cutting, bending and stamping of various shapes in the upper surface of the sole 1. These appear in particular in FIG. 6.
  • the soles In addition to the orifices intended to accommodate the buttons 5 of the upper plates 6, referenced 3a to 3d and 4a to 4d, the soles have slots 11a to 11d obtained by cutting two lines transversely to the sole, in the central part of the latter. , then by stamping the zone located between the two lines, which descends below the level of the upper surface of the sole and provides between them a guide space for the movable member 2.
  • This guide is preferably a guide intended to support the sliding element 2.
  • windows 13a and 13b also cut on three sides then folded at 90 ° and which also have a centered slot similar to the aforementioned slots, ie operating a central guide.
  • Some of the orifices formed in the sole 1 can additionally serve to accommodate the end of a jumper (not shown), the other end of which is housed in a homologous orifice of an identical sole 1, with a view to securing them one to the other.
  • the upper surface of the sole 1 comprises studs 14a, 14b and 14c projecting slightly and of planar upper surface, forming support zones arranged symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal axis.
