Definitions

  • the invention relates to an improved fastening device for fastening a shelf to a furniture frame.
  • a piece of furniture usually consists of a chassis or frame to which doors and horizontal shelves are fixed.
  • To connect the shelves to the frame it is known to use special fastening devices which facilitate the assembly thereof and avoid accidental detachment e.g. during a move.
  • EP 1 228 721 discloses a similar device, consisting of a cylindrical anchoring body and a pin housed in a inner cavity of the first.
  • the body has to be inserted in a corresponding seat made by drilling in the edge of the shelf, and therefore remains integral with it.
  • the pin is sliding inside the anchoring body along a longitudinal axis between two positions in which a head thereof protrudes or not from the edge of the shelf in order to get inserted into, or to come out from, a hole in the frame.
  • the pin is pushed into the maximum projection position by a spring, while the engagement of snapping means formed by interacting parts of the pin and the anchoring body allows the pin to be temporarily blocked and completely retracted inside the anchoring body.
  • the pin has a side tooth confined and sliding into an elongated slot formed in a side wall of the anchoring body.
  • the slot is large about 1 mm.
  • the device is placed at the lower edge of the shelf, when it is mounted on the frame it is not very easy to use a sharp tool to disengage it, mainly because of the very small slot. And even only having to use a tool is inconvenient.
  • US-A-2004/0155163 discloses a fastening device comprising a pin which is axially movable with respect to an anchoring body between two positions the first protruding from the body, the second not protruding from it.
  • the pin is operable by means of a working element which is fully enclosed within the body and needs a tool for its operation.
  • the object of the invention is to make a device of the type described which is easier to use. Another object is to avoid the use of tools. Another object is to improve the aesthetics of the device.
  • the device of the invention provides for a slider that is movable outside of the anchoring body in parallel direction to said axis and is coupled to the pin member to move it between said two positions, manually (without tools) and easily.
  • the pin member comprises an extension perpendicular to said axis that extends up to the outside the anchoring body, where it forms said slider, a simple but effective construction of the pin member is achieved.
  • the slider extends in direction opposite to the head of the pin member.
  • said cavity is open continuously outwards starting from the side from which the pin member head comes out up to another side, so as to form a lateral opening on the side of the anchoring body.
  • the device in Figures 1-7 is formed by two cooperating parts: a pin member 20 and an anchoring body 60, which is composed of a front portion 80 and a rear portion 82.
  • the pin member 20 is sliding into the body 60 along a longitudinal axis X, axis along which the major dimensions of the device develop.
  • the device is also symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane passing through X, thus sometimes only one side will be described.
  • the pin member 20 is made up of a cylindrical pin head 12, elongated along the axis X, from which, again along the X axis, a partially hollow tubular body 18 extends. On the body 18 are present, one on each side, raised teeth 21 in relief. In the body 18 and in the head 12 there are continuous horizontal raised surfaces 24, similar to a step.
  • a spacing structure 14 which develops orthogonally to the axis X, the end of the head 12 is integrally connected to the end of a flat plate 16, arranged parallel to the axis X and having a concave surface 19. As a result, the plate 16 extends in direction opposite to the head 12.
  • the lower part of the head 12 is made up of a rounded base 22.
  • the front portion 80 has approximately an overturned- ⁇ vertical cross-section and locates in its inside a cavity 64, which develops in the direction of the axis X and opens without interruption on a front face 62 and on an adjacent side, whose edges are made of two flat parallel portions 66 connected in the center by an inclined plane 68.
  • the portions 66 are tapered near the face 62 at a local surface enlargement 67 of the cavity 64.
  • the inside of the portion 80 is thus emptied by the cavity 64.
  • the portion 80 presents an opening, of width almost equal to the total length, in the middle of which there is a tab or lug 70, which extends from the bottom 65 of the cavity 64 and is curved inwards at the ends thereof to form a tooth or hook 72.
  • the inner part of the tooth 72 facing the flat portions 66 is chamfered to form an inclined plane 74, while the bottom 65 has a concavity corresponding to the convexity of the rounding 22.
  • the body 18 has an inclined plane 23 at its lower end, the one near the bottom 65.
  • the width of the tab 70 is less than the opening it occupies, so on the sides there remain two empty spaces or through-seats 78.
  • the cavity 64 extends inside the portion 82, which practically results in a hollow cylinder with a closed base.
  • the enlargement 67 matches with the teeth 21 during said insertion.
  • the tabs 70 divaricate, let the portion 22 pass, and shortly afterwards snap closed again.
  • the teeth 72 abut on the surfaces 24 and retain the pin member 20 in the cavity 64, in which however it can slide along the axis X. Note that the surfaces 24 behave as guiding means for the pin member 20, which ends up to be driven by the teeth 72.
  • the base 22 rests perfectly and slides on the bottom 65 of the cavity 64.
  • a user can adjust the position of the pin member 20 through operation on the plate 16 (the concavity 19 is a notch for the nail), by moving it between two positions (see fig. 6 and 7 ).
  • the head 12 When the pin member 20 is retracted in the cavity 64, the head 12 does not protrude from the front face 62, and the shelf RP is loose ( Fig. 7 ).
  • the teeth 21 snap-fit in a seat 78 where they retain the pin member 20 in place.
  • the abutment of the structure 14 on the plane 68 defines a travel limit for the member 20 inside the cavity 64.
  • the head 12 By pushing the plate 16, the head 12 is pushed out of the anchoring body 60 ( Fig. 6 ) to make it enter into the hole H and thus fix the shelf RP.
  • the teeth 21 come out from the seat 78 they are in and snap-enter in the adjacent one ( Fig. 5 ).
  • the distance between the seats 78 engaged by the teeth 21 is equal to the determined stroke for the head 12. Note that the structure 14 allows the plate 16 to slide without difficulty onto the flat portions 66 at the right distance from the member 20.
  • the device is formed by two cooperating parts: a pin member 120 and an anchoring body 160.
  • the pin member 120 is sliding in the anchoring body 160 along a longitudinal axis 1X, axis along which also the major dimensions of the device develop.
  • the device is also symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane passing through 1X, thus sometimes only one side will be described.
  • the pin member 120 consists of a cylindrical pin head 112, elongated along the axis 1X, from which, still along the axis 1X, extend two parallel and flexible tabs 117 provided to their end of a teeth 121 turned outwards.
  • the long sides of the tabs 117 constitute raised surfaces 125 in the head 112, about a step.
  • a recess 164 in the body 160 extends inside the portion 182, which is practically a hollow cylinder with a closed base. On the lateral surface of the portion 182 there are two openings 184, one facing the other.
  • the pin member 120 When the pin member 120 is pressure-inserted inside the cavity 164 orthogonally to the 1X axis (as before), the tabs or fins 170 divaricate, let the head 112, the base 122 and the rounded tabs 117 pass, and shortly afterwards snap-close.
  • the teeth 172 abut on the surfaces 125 of the tabs 117 and retain the member 120 in the cavity 164, wherein it can slide along the axis 1X. Note that the surfaces 125 act as guiding means for the member 120, which turns out to be guided by the teeth 172.
  • the pin member 120 When the pin member 120 is retracted inside the cavity 164, the head 112 does not protrude from the front side 162, and the shelf is released.
  • the tabs 117 are inserted in the hollow part of the rear portion 182, and their teeth 121 snap-fit in the seats 184 where they retain in place the pin member 120.
  • the head 112 gets pushed outside the anchoring body 160 to make it enter into the hole of the cabinet and to fasten the shelf.
  • the teeth 121 disengage from the seats 184 and snap-enter into the closest of the seats 178.
  • the distance between the seats engaged by the teeth 121 is equal to the established stroke for the member 120.
  • the invention has the great advantage of adjusting the position of the pins 12, 112 manually, without tools and in a very simple manner.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that by shifting of the plates 16, 166 to insert the pins 12, 112 in the hole H, they also cover the portion of the body 160 (i.e. the edges 66, 166 and the cavity 64, 164) which remains in view on the shelf RP.
