Definitions

  • the invention which is the subject of this application is a furniture system of a type which can be used to advantage in many premises such as, for example, kitchens, bathrooms, laboratories and the like.
  • the furniture which is formed may be of the "fitted " furniture type in which the furniture is assembled and retained in a fixed location such as would be the case with kitchen units incorporating other items such as sinks washing machines or the like, or self supporting furniture which can be moved and does not require support or strength from other items or structures.
  • An alternative form is to provide a system which is assembled on site from a number of components which are manufactured under factory conditions.
  • these components comprise carcasses of cupboard and/or drawer components which comprise a series of wooden or MDF or chipboard panels joined together to form the carcass and which then receive and have fitted thereto front panels such as doors and the same.
  • the conventional systems also require relatively large amounts of board sheet material to be used to form the same.
  • a further problem is that the transportation of these preassembled units to the point of installation, can be expensive as the materials used for the preformed units, are relatively heavy and the bulk of the same means that the transport space required to be used is also relatively high.
  • an item of furniture said item having a frame and a series of panel members, said frame comprises a series of elongate members joined together to form apertures therebetween which are at least partially closed by one or more panel members received and engaged in position with respect to the frame to thereby form the item of furniture, at least one wall and/or floor plate assembly is provided to allow the engagement and/or positioning of the frame to an adjacent wall and/or floor to secure the same in position, said assembly having a first part which is secured to the wall or floor and a second part provided for attachment to, or provided integrally with, a member of the frame and which second part is adjustably securable to the first part to allow the distance between the frame and the wall or floor to be adjusted.
  • the item of furniture includes any or any combination of cupboards, drawers, shelves and/or a cavity.
  • the cavity can receive other items or appliances therein or may simply be used for storage purposes.
  • the frame members are formed of metal and may be pressed or extruded with a required profile.
  • the members are provided with or formed so as to provide engagement means to allow a panel to be placed into position, and thereafter retained in position, to fill an aperture formed between said frame members.
  • panels can be provided which have a desired decorative appearance which allows the required decorative effect to be created for the finished item of furniture.
  • the fact that the frame can be constructed from the members alone means that the furniture, at that stage, allows easy access. By this is meant that access can relatively easily be gained through the frame apertures so as to allow utility services to be installed when the frame is in position and before the panels have been engaged in place.
  • the system is used to form an item of fitted furniture which, once formed, is retained and/or supported by another item or structure.
  • the method comprises the step of attaching the frame and/or panels of the item of furniture to an adjacent structure or further item to retain and/or support the item in position.
  • the present invention allows the work surfaces to be installed prior to the panels and has several additional advantages. Firstly, the location and "positional stability" of the furniture is determined independently of the work-surface. Also the provision of a “top down” installation approach is enabled by the levelling and fixing of the frame from the work surface position Any type or weight (e.g natural stone, ceramics, etc) of work surface can be installed without additional support being required due to the strength of the frame which is achieved.
  • Any type or weight (e.g natural stone, ceramics, etc) of work surface can be installed without additional support being required due to the strength of the frame which is achieved.
  • Figure 1 shows a floor unit
  • a wall unit component can be formed and supported in substantially the same manner.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an isometric view of a unit 35 formed in accordance with the invention in one embodiment. It will be seen how the unit is securely positioned with respect to the wall via the wall plates 2,17 which typically are provided of an extruded material and can be cut to a required length such that more than one unit may be supported on the same wall plates. In addition it will be seen how the frame members 9 are hidden from external view once the decorative panels 37 are secured in position on the frame. In this case the worktop is not shown.
  • the internal cavity space is configurable to many different options and may be re-configurable after installation by suitable arrangement of the frame members. This is in contrast to conventional furniture where the configuration generally has to be decided and built into conventional design systems.
  • cupboard space can be anything from single size to completely open space within the frame set, this is something that is not possible with conventional cupboard units.
  • the frame system of the current invention therefore provides support strength to the furniture which is formed and also enables a multiplicity of internal functional components to be housed therein without the additional support structures which are required for conventionally constructed furniture.
  • these include slide-in/out shelf units for tall and under-bench cupboards, carousels and folding units for corner cupboard applications, drawer units can be double height and double width and capable of storing very heavy objects like food processors, which is generally not possible with conventional components without significant additional support system being provided.
  • Lift up and fold out drawers and platforms can be provided to allow additional work surfaces to be created to permanently mount heavy food processors.
  • each unit of furniture ion accordance with the invention can have its own power supply and so permanently mounted electrical items can "operate-in-place".
  • the open frame design and structural stability of the system greatly widens the design possibilities. This means that criteria such as specific dimension requirements, space required for wheel-chair access between and under units can be customized and the system itself can be used to provide a basis for manual holding points for the person to support or lift themselves where required.
