Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system cupboard comprising at least two uprights, connecting elements whether or not provided with connecting projections for mutually connecting the uprights and supports to be mounted to said uprights, for one or more shelves, the uprights at least being provided with openings for receiving said supports and connecting projections.
  • the object of the invention is to provide for a system cupboard which can be assembled quickly and in a simple way and in which the desired changes and extensions can also be made quickly and in a simple way as well without the need for any tools and in which the connections made, and with that the construction of the complete system cupboard can always comply with the requirements concerned.
  • the connecting elements is provided with locking means being intended for locking the connecting elements engaging the uprights through the connecting projections.
  • the connecting elements are provided with locking members at least at one side engaging into openings made in upright or connecting element, by means of a snap connection.
  • the combination of fastening projections and the locking means respectively provide for that the fastening means can be stuck in the proper or desired position into the further parts of the cupboard or can engage said position and that said elements can be kept in that position without or practically without any clearance.
  • the snap connection of the locking means provides for that the fastening elements, after bringing them into the desired positions, will be immediately locked in that position.
  • the locking means comprise locking members being designed in such a way, that the snap connection is reversable and the locking can be undone by manual force.
  • the openings engageable by the locking means or locking members can be openings or sets of openings made in the uprights especially for that purpose, but preferably locking means or locking members are designed in such a way that both the connecting means and also other possible assembling parts of a system cupboard can use the same set or sets of openings.
  • the uprights have at least one other side than the side or sides in which said openings for the supports for one or more shelves have been made, said side being provided with one or more sets of openings, in which preferably the sides of the uprights intended to be positioned at the front or rear of a cupboard, are provided with a double row of vertical openings, and the immediately adjacent sides of the uprights each being provided with a row of horizontal openings.
  • Applying a double row of vertical openings has the advantage that fastening elements and locking means of successive cupboard parts can always engage at the same height, in which, furthermore, the single upright can be kept relatively narrow.
  • connecting elements with locking means between all uprights
  • a first locking member which can be connected to at least one pivot point through a connecting element and at has least one hook member intended for engaging into an opening of an upright and has resilient means by means of which said hook member or hook members are forced into a predetermined direction at least when mounting a connecting element with an upright.
  • Said first locking member provides for a locking of said connecting element immediately following insertion of a connecting element into the openings provided in the upright.
  • a second locking member is provided, which is slidable along, or slidably received in, a connecting element, in which said second locking member, at least at one outer end, in the direction in which the member is slidable relative to said connecting element, is provided with a projection member intended for being inserted into an opening of an upright.
  • the second locking member is provided with securing means, being under the action of resilient means, for securing the locking member onto said connecting element.
  • the locking member should be slid as to provide for the locking.
  • said second locking member is mounted on the connecting element in such a way, that it is enclosed either by said connecting element, or by said connecting element and a further assembling part of the system cupboard on mounting the connecting element.
  • First and second locking members are preferably manufactured from an resilient plastic so that the resilient means can use that property and the resilient means and the locking means can form an entity.
  • the locking means comprise further locking members consisting of hook members to be fitted at the outer ends of a connecting element, intended for hooking into openings provided in the upright, in which additionally adjusting means for engaging a connecting element are provided.
  • Said locking members are particularly suitable for being employed together with connecting elements to be mounted at the back side of a system cupboard, with said connecting elements extending across an angle in relation to the main lines of the cupboard.
  • these connecting elements engage the upper side and the lower side of vertical openings or the left-hand side or right-hand side of horizontal openings, so that after insertion of the connecting element, its length must be shortened in order to be able to keep the connecting element within the openings and have it functioning as a shore too.
  • Such a connecting element can be designed in such a way that it substantially comprises a cable and the adjustment means consist of tensioning means being mounted on a hook member and being connected to the connecting element.
  • the tensioning means are preferably across a predetermined angle in relation to the part of the hook member being intended for bringing it into an opening of an upright, so that the connecting element can be mounted across said predetermined angle as well.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates an open system cupboard having four uprights 1, 2, 3, 4, being fixedly connected two by two through yokes 5, 6, 7, 8.
  • the sets of uprights are mutually connected with the help of a number of connecting elements.
  • the connecting elements include the skirting parts 9, 10 to be mounted at the lower side between said uprights, the top plate 11 to be mounted at the top and the shores 12 or rear panels 16, 17 to be mounted at the rear side. It is possible to mount e.g. shelves 14 between the sets of uprights by supports to be stuck into said uprights. Finally, a sheet 15 to be mounted on the top plate 11 as finishing is illustrated.
  • Fig. 2 shows a partly closed system cupboard in which the shores 12 indicated in the previous figure have been replaced by rear panels 16, 17 and in which the lateral sides have been closed by side panels 18, 19.
  • the rear panels hook into the vertical openings made in the rear side of the uprights 1, 3 and thus form connecting elements as well.
  • the cupboard corresponds to the one according to Figure 1.
  • Figs. 3A, B show a front and a side view, respectively, of a system cupboard with a rear side of the cupboard closed-off by panels, skirting 10 and top plate 11 with plate 15.
  • Fig. 3C shows top plate 11 in perspective, with the profiled edges 20, 21 mounted at front and rear side being visible, as well as the lateral edges 22, 23.
  • Locking members 24 are movably mounted in the profiled edges at or near their outer ends.
  • means 25 have been mounted in the plate in order to be able to fasten the sheet 15 releasably or otherwise onto the top plate.
  • Figs. 4A, B show a first locking member 26 being intended for locking the connection of the skirtings 9, 10 with the uprights 1, 2, 3, 4.
  • the locking member has an outer end provided with two projecting arms 27, 28 each having a stub axle 29, 30.
  • the stub axles 29, 30 are in one line and are meant to fall into holes 31, 32 made for that purpose in a skirting 9, 10, and forming a shaft around which the locking member can rotate across at least a certain angle.
  • the holes 31, 32 have been made in the sides or flanged edges 33, 34 of the approximately U-shaped skirtings 9, 10.
  • locking member 26 is provided with hook members 35, 36 substantially comprising arms 37, 38 having recesses 39, 40. Said hook members are meant to fall into the slots 41 made in an upright and to be kept therein.
  • the locking member is provided with resilient elements 42, 43, which will come to lie against a vertical side 44 of the skirting 9, 10 in case of a mounted locking member.
  • projections 45, 46 hitting the flanged edges 33, 34 have been provided.
  • Fig. 4C shows a perspective view in which for the sake of clarity in the figure of the upright 4 only the half situated at the outside has been illustrated.
  • the upright is provided with a series of horizontal slots 41 and at its front side with two parallel vertical series of vertical slots 47, 48. Said last slots are recessed in relation to the front side of the upright.
  • the skirting 10 is provided with spaced-apart connecting projections 49, 50, which in turn are spaced from the hook members 35, 36. Al said distances correspond to, or are a multiple of, the distance between successive slots 41.
  • the hook members 35, 36 are further provided with bevels 51, 52, as a result of which the hook members are self-searching and the skirting with locking member can be directly stuck into a lateral side of the upright and is locked. In the locking, due to the recesses 39, 40 the hook members 35, 36 grip around the part of the lateral wall of the upright situated immediately adjacent the slot 41. The locking can be undone by pushing against the plane 53 of the locking member 26 and bringing the hook members into the correct position in relation to the slot 41 in order to be able to remove the skirting with the locking member from the upright.
  • Figs. 5A, B show a second locking member 25 in perspective which is intended to be movable along an edge, in particular a flanged edge 20, 21 of a top plate 11.
  • the locking member 25 is formed symmetrically and has both outer ends provided with a locking projection 54, 55, as a result of which the locking member can be used in both a left-hand and a right-hand side of an edge 20, 21.
  • the locking member holds aligned recesses 56, 57, as a result of which the locking member can be placed over an upwardly pointed portion 58 of the edge 21.
  • the locking member 25 is provided with projecting edge portions 59, 60, 61, by which the locking member can come to lie against the bottom side 62 of the top plate 11.
  • the locking member has been trapped in the flanged edge 21 of the top plate 11 and the locking projection 54, 55 always remains substantially parallel to the top plate 11 and with that, correctly oriented in relation to the slot 41.
  • a projection 63 mounted on a resilient arm 62 has been provided, which is intended to fall into the opening 64 made in the upwardly pointing portion 58 of the edge 21.
  • two openings 64, 65 are mounted, so that the locking member can also be secured in a retracted position.
  • the resilient arm 62 is further provided with a projecting operating part 66 by which the projection 63 can easily be pulled out of one of the openings 64, 65.
  • Flanged edges 20, 21 of a top plate 11 will come to lie between the uprights 2, 4 and 1, 3 and the edges fall into longitudinal slits 67 (Fig. 5E) mounted in the top sides of the yokes 5, 7.
  • the locking projections 54, 55 protrude into an upright, in a different way from first locking members 26, to beyond the nearest series of vertical slots 47 or 48.
  • the dimensioning of the various parts is chosen such, that the locking projections 54, 55 end exactly over the topmost connecting projection or hook 68 of a rear panel 16 or e.g. at the front side of a topmost connecting projection or hook of a topmost door hinge. This makes it possible to make a completely closed cupboard having closeable doors, which can not be disassembled from the outside.
  • Fig. 6A illustrates parts of shores 12 with further locking members 69 at their outer ends.
  • the locking members have two planes 70, 71 being approximately perpendicular to each other, with a recess 72 being made in the plane 71.
  • the further locking member can be slid upwards at one side of a shore across a distance equalling the depth of the recess 72, and be slid downwards at the other side, until it strikes.
  • the length of said shore 12 should be larger than the final length, in which the outer ends are kept in the slots 47, 48 and the end planes of the recesses 72 engage an end of a vertical slot 47, 48.
  • a case 74 mounted on the plane 70 is provided, into which at one side an externally threaded outer end 75 of a shore 12 projects and at the other side an internally threaded rotatable adjusting member 76.
  • the edge portion 77 of the plane is measured such that it will always end in parallel to the longitudinal direction and, seen in transverse direction, against the centres of the uprights.
  • shores appearing continuously to the eye can be mounted between successive parts of a system cupboard, or shores starting at the same height and extending across an equal angle but in opposite directions in relation to an upright.
