Definitions

  • the invention concerns an object-holder for furniture, in particular a cutlery tray for kitchen furniture.
  • Object-holders are frequently placed inside these drawers to organize the space inside the drawer.
  • a type of object-holderpa which is referred to as an example, is a cutlery tray in wood, or in similar materials.
  • the cutlery tray realizes a grill inside the drawer in order to divide the space into different compartments where various kinds of cutlery are kept separated.
  • the cutlery trays are produced after the drawer, and are often made by third producers. Since the cutlery trays are also produced for conventional drawers, the producers design them with straight lateral sides. Given that a cutlery tray with straight lateral sides will have dimensions that correspond to the bottom of the drawer in which it is placed, in the case of the said particular kitchen drawers specified above, an empty space will inevitably remain between the tray and the sides of the drawer, owing to the diverging curvature of the latter.
  • Two systems are used to fill the empty space and to adapt the cutlery tray to the drawer. Either the sides of the cutlery tray are shaped, through milling, so that they match the concavity of the sides of the drawer, or a wooden shim of a complementary shape is inserted into the empty space.
  • the shaping solution requires an additional production cycle, which effects the cost of the product, and it is not easily adaptable to different kinds of drawers. For every curvature it is necessary to realize a shaping ad hoc. The same can be said for the working of the supplementary shim.
  • the objective of the present invention is to realize an object-holder without the disadvantages present in the known art.
  • This objective is obtained with an object-holder to be placed inside a drawer which delimits a surface area greater than that covered by object-holder (that is, there is an empty space between the sides of the object-holder and the sides of the drawer in which it is placed), characterized by comprising fasteningmeans for an appendix that extends between at least one lateral wall of the object-holder and at least one wall of the drawer.
  • the object-holder By providing the object-holder with fastening means for an appendix, which can fill or plug the empty space between the object-holder and the drawer, it is possible to apply an appendix to the object-holder that is designed to measurement for the specific drawer destined to contain it. Therefore the object-holder of the invention can easily be configured to all kinds of drawers, as only the appendix needs to be designed separately. This implies a considerable saving and simplicity of production. In fact, owing to the different construction typologies utilized for the space containing the drawer, the width of the latter can vary. And this is where the usefulness of the provision of the appendices lies, which can compensate for the different measurements of the drawer, leaving unaltered the dimensions of the object-holder.
  • a cutlery tray made out of wood, or similar material, is indicated by 10, according to the invention. It is comprised of two sides 12 and 14, a frontal wall 16, a rear wall 18 and a bottom 20 that together delimit the containing space of the cutlery tray 10.
  • the said space is divided into sections by separators 30, of which, for simplicity, only few have been indicated and only in fig. 1, 3 and 4.
  • a drawer 50 in metal can be seen where the cutlery tray 10 is placed.
  • the lateral walls of the drawer 50 are indicated 52, and in fig. 2 and 4 it can be observed that the walls 52 are neither flat, nor perfectly vertical, but slightly curved with the concavity towards the top. Consequently between the cutlery tray 10 and the walls 52 there is an empty space, indicated by 60 in fig. 4.
  • the stick 22 is flat and has a rectangular shape, and the width of the stick extends perfectly between one side 12 (or 14) and the adjacent wall 52 of the drawer 50.
  • the stick 22 is thin, therefore being light though strong.
  • the invention is just as efficient.
  • the stick 22 has in this case the further advantage of keeping the cutlery tray 10 in place in respect to the walls 52 of the drawer 50, preventing it from moving around in the inside of the latter.
  • Materials other than wood can be used for the cutlery tray 10, for example metal or plastic.
  • the invention is also useful for drawers with internal sides that are flat and vertical, since it works as an adapter of dimensions and as position-stabilizer to the cutlery tray placed inside the drawer.
  • a simple but efficient solution that creates a joint for the stick 22, for it other connecting means are possible, both permanent as well as non-permanent (screws, nails, glue or other adhesives, hinges, felt).
  • joint-connecting means a dovetail joint can be used, where the milling 24 can be obtained by a mortiser and the stick 22 is shaped to obtain a tenon.
  • the same stick 22 can be substituted by a general adjustment/fitting appendix: for example a thin appendix in the shape of a "U” can be produced and the two parallel segments of the "U” can be inserted horizontally in the grooves 24 so that it surrounds the cutlery tray 10. In this manner the appendix is produced in a single piece instead of two separate sticks.
  • the milling 24 can have different horizontal dimensions and it can be realized at different heights in relation to the bottom of the cutlery tray 10.
  • the cutlery tray 10 can be equipped with more than one stick, of various lengths and widths, for a better fitting to the drawer 50.
  • a complement with a different shape can be used as appendix, even if it is not flat, for example a metallic grill.
  • the appendix can also be used with the purpose of the invention even if it is fixed to the inside of the drawer, preferably on the internal lateralwalls, and not on the tray, in the manner and with the solutions already specified for the tray.
