Abstract

The plinth (3) which is mounted on the closing side (1) is used for supporting the ends of the kitchen support planes (2) integrated with other similar furniture. The plinth comprises two distinct parts (4,5). The upper part (4) is fixed to the closing side and the lower part (5) is placed in contact with ground. Between these two parts are inserted two telescopic leveling devices (6) for adjusting the distance between them.

Description

La présente invention concerne un socle à monter sur un côté de fermeture d'un meuble, selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a base to be mounted on a closing side of a furniture, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ainsi qu'il est connu, parmi les différents éléments qui constituent un meuble du type dit intégré, se trouve un côté de fermeture, qui constitue la paroi latérale terminale du meuble une fois assemblé.As is known, among the various elements which constitute a piece of furniture of the so-called integrated type, there is a closing side, which constitutes the end side wall of the furniture once assembled.

En particulier, dans les cuisines intégrées, le côté de fermeture latérale a la fonction de soutenir te plan d'appui, de sorte qu'il devrait présenter deux caractéristiques : être suffisamment robuste pour résister au poids du plan et des objets placés sur ce dernier et, en outre, pouvoir être réglé en hauteur avec une certaine précision, pour s'adapter à une dénivellée, quelquefois minime, du sol, de manière à maintenir toujours ledit plan horizontal.In particular, in integrated kitchens, the side closing side has the function to support the support plan, so that it should have two characteristics: strong enough to withstand the weight of the plan and objects placed on it, and in addition, being able to be adjusted in height with a certain precision, to adapt to a unevenness, sometimes minimal, of the ground, so as to always maintain the said plane horizontal.

Le but de la présente invention est de réaliser un côté de fermeture qui possède de telles caractéristiques.The object of the present invention is to provide a closure side which has such characteristics.

Ceci est atteint conformément aux caractéristiques de la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.This is achieved in accordance with the characteristics of the characterizing part of the claim 1.

On prévoit que la partie terminale inférieure du côté, qui est normalement distincte du reste du corps et appelée le socle, comprenne deux éléments séparés l'un de l'autre, entre lesquels on intercale des moyens mécaniques de mise à niveau.The lower end part on the side, which is normally separate, is expected from the rest of the body and called the pedestal, has two separate elements, between which mechanical leveling means are inserted.

Ces caractéristiques de l'invention, ainsi que d'autres, seront décrites ci-après en détail, en se référant, uniquement dans un but illustratif et non limitatif aux planches de dessin annexées où :

  • la Fig. 1 (planche I) représente une vue en perspective d'un côté de fermeture muni d'un socle selon l'invention.
  • La Fig. 2 (planche II) représente une vue avant d'un socle selon l'invention ;
  • la Fig. 3 représente une vue de côté en coupe selon la ligne III-III de la Fig. 2.
    • These characteristics of the invention, as well as others, will be described below in detail, with reference, only for illustrative purposes and not limiting to the attached drawing boards where:
  • Fig. 1 (plate I) represents a perspective view of a closing side provided with a base according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 (plate II) represents a front view of a base according to the invention;
  • Fig. 3 shows a side view in section along line III-III of FIG. 2.

    • Comme ceci est visible sur la Fig. 1, le côté de fermeture 1, qui soutient le plan d'appui 2, est muni en position inférieure d'un socle 3 constitué par deux éléments séparés l'un de l'autre, plus précisément d'un élément supérieur 4 ancré au corps du côté 1 et d'un élément inférieur 5, amovible et qui s'appuie sur le sol, ainsi que par l'emploi d'une pluralité de dispositifs de mise à niveau 6, ayant une fonction d'écartement. Le tout est enfermé dans un gabarit lamellaire 7 qui joue le rôle de logement de maintien dudit élément inférieur mobile 5.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the closing side 1, which supports the plane support 2, is provided in the lower position with a base 3 constituted by two separate elements one from the other, more precisely from an upper element 4 anchored to the body on side 1 and a lower element 5, removable and which rests on the ground, as well as by the use of a plurality of leveling devices 6, having a spacer function. The whole is enclosed in a lamellar template 7 which acts as a housing for maintaining said movable lower element 5.

    Comme représenté de façon plus détaillée sur les Fig. 2 et 3, les dispositifs de mise à niveau 6, de fabrication et d'emploi habituels, sont constitués par des corps cylindriques encastrés dans l'élément supérieur 4 du socle et dotés d'une base télescopique 8 qui fait fonction de pied d'appui sur l'élément inférieur 5 dudit socle, dans l'application particulière.As shown in more detail in Figs. 2 and 3, the setting devices at level 6, of usual manufacture and use, consist of cylindrical bodies embedded in the upper element 4 of the base and provided with a telescopic base 8 which makes support leg function on the lower element 5 of said base, in the application particular.

    En fonctionnement, lorsque le côté 1 complet a été positionné, l'opérateur, au moyen d'un outil qui est enfilé dans le trou 9, règle la saillie de la base télescopique 8 du dispositif de mise à niveau 6 de manière que celle-ci, en s'appuyant sur l'élément inférieur 5, replace ledit côté en position horizontale, dans l'éventualité où ledit élément inférieur serait placé sur une partie de sol qui est légèrement inclinée.In operation, when the complete side 1 has been positioned, the operator, at by means of a tool which is inserted into the hole 9, adjusts the projection of the telescopic base 8 of the leveling device 6 so that it, based on the lower element 5, replace said side in a horizontal position, in the event that said lower element would be placed on a part of the floor that is slightly tilted.

    On peut donc déduire de ce qui précède qu'au moyen de la conformation du socle selon l'invention, on peut atteindre sans difficulté les buts énoncés plus haut, en obtenant en particulier la parfaite mise à niveau horizontale du plan d'appui 1 d'une façon rapide et avec une notable précision.We can therefore deduce from the above that by means of the conformation of the base according to the invention, it is possible without difficulty to achieve the aims set out above, by obtaining in particular the perfect horizontal leveling of the support plane 1 in a rapid manner and with notable precision.

    Naturellement, il est possible de prévoir des solutions de construction différentes pour s'adapter à différents types de dispositifs de mise à niveau existant dans le commerce, en conservant un socle comportant deux éléments entre lesquels sont intercalés un ou plusieurs dispositifs de mise à niveau.Naturally, it is possible to provide different construction solutions to adapt to different types of leveling devices existing in the trade, retaining a base comprising two elements between which are interposed one or more leveling devices.
