Definitions

  • the present invention relates to dismountable furniture, and in particular to a foldable cross-piece suitable to make part of the supporting frame of this kind of furniture.
  • the supporting frame includes two or more foldable vertical cross-pieces joined by horizontal connecting transverse beams.
  • the conventional cross-piece is made up of two bars placed side by side and mutually pivoted by means of a horizontal pin usually located at the middle of their length. In this way the cross-piece can be folded from its open X shape to a closed position which allows a reduction in bulkiness.
  • a reduction is limited by the fact that the two adjacent bars can completely overlap only in the absence of interference with the relevant connecting transverse beams, i.e. in the absence of said beams or when using bars of different length.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a foldable cross-piece suitable to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • a first fundamental advantage of the present cross-piece is that of achieving the maximum reduction of bulkiness regardless of the presence or arrangement of the transverse connecting beams and of the length of the bars making up the cross-piece.
  • a second advantage of this cross-piece stems from its planarity which allows to obtain perfectly symmetrical supporting frames with positive effects of aesthetical and structural nature.
  • the cross-piece according to the invention consists of a bar 1 carrying a pin 2 on which there is pivoted a bracket 3, substantially S-shaped, which in turn carries at its parallel ends 3a a pair of semi-bars 4.
  • a conventional cross-piece is made up of three members (two bars and a pin) this novel cross-piece consists of five members: bar 1, the two semi-bars 4, pin 2 and bracket 3.
  • bracket 3 is shaped and mounted on bar 1 and semi-bars 4 so as to arrange the latter parallel to bar 1 when the cross-piece is closed (fig.1a). Furthermore, the ends of semi-bars 4 close to pin 2 are cut at about 45° so as to achieve a surface rather than a line contact when the cross-piece is open (fig.1b). Both bar 1 and semi-bars 4 have a plurality of transverse holes 5 for the mounting of connecting transverse beams, if any, which never interfere with bar 1 or semi-bars 4 upon closure of the cross-piece.
  • Fig.2 shows a first possible application of the above-mentioned cross-piece, wherein a dismountable cabinet is obtained from a frame consisting of two cross-pieces C and four transverse connecting beams (not visible in the figure) on which a sac S is fixed. Thanks to the planarity of cross-pieces C, the sides of sac S are close both to bar 1 and semi-bars 4 and can therefore be secured onto said members without any difficulty, e.g. by means of "velcro" strips.
  • Figs.3 and 4 show two examples of shelvings obtained by combining the cross-pieces C with shelves R, which can be fixed directly to the cross-pieces C or otherwise rest upon the transverse connecting beams.
  • a narrow shelving is made up of two cross-pieces C arranged along the short sides of shelves R
  • a wider shelving includes two pairs of cross-pieces C arranged along the long sides of shelves R.
  • the planarity of cross-pieces C allows an extended lateral abutment of shelves R thus providing greater rigidity to the structure.
  • bracket 3 may be somewhat changed as long as it is able to pivot semi-bars 4 onto bar 1 and to take them to a position parallel thereto when the cross-piece is closed.
