Abstract

The furniture has a volume (11) delimited by two parallel vertical walls (1, 2), a lower end wall (5) and an upper end wall (6). Two branches (8, 9) are respectively arranged in extension of the vertical walls, and extended from a base (7) of the upper end wall. The branches respectively have free ends (14) fixed on corresponding upper ends (4) of the vertical walls, at a level of junction zones, via junction elements e.g. cleats (18), where the junction elements are projected inside the volume. The junction elements are housed inside housings of shelves (21) resting on the junction elements. The vertical walls, the upper end wall and the shelves are made of sheet metal.

Description

L'invention concerne un meuble, par exemple une bibliothèque ou une commode.The invention relates to a piece of furniture, for example a bookcase or a chest of drawers.

Il est connu de réaliser des meubles par assemblage de parois verticales latérales et de parois horizontales supérieure et inférieure. L'assemblage entre les parois est classiquement réalisé par vissage. Des plots supports sont montés sur les faces internes des parois verticales et font saillie à l'intérieur du volume du meuble, des étagères étant montées sur les plots supports.It is known to produce furniture by assembling lateral vertical walls and upper and lower horizontal walls. The assembly between the walls is conventionally made by screwing. Support pads are mounted on the inner faces of the vertical walls and protrude inside the cabinet volume, shelves being mounted on the support pads.

Les plots précités sont généralement visibles par un utilisateur, de même que les vis utilisées pour l'assemblage. En outre, un tel meuble présente nécessairement une forme parallélépipédique, les angles ne pouvant par exemple pas être arrondis. Un tel meuble est donc limité esthétiquement.The aforementioned pads are generally visible by a user, as well as the screws used for assembly. In addition, such a piece of furniture necessarily has a parallelepiped shape, the corners can not for example be rounded. Such a piece of furniture is therefore aesthetically limited.

En outre, l'amélioration de l'esthétique d'un meuble est généralement effectuée au détriment de la simplicité de fabrication et de montage.In addition, the improvement of the aesthetics of a piece of furniture is generally done to the detriment of simplicity of manufacture and assembly.

Le document WO 2006/011250 concerne un module de meuble, de forme tubulaire constitué par deux demi-modules dont les bords en regard des panneaux latéraux sont réunis en étant emboités dans des pièces de liaison qui dépassent tant à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur du module.The document WO 2006/011250 relates to a furniture module, of tubular form consisting of two half-modules whose edges facing the side panels are joined by being nested in connection pieces which protrude both outside and inside the module.

Le document US 3 285 444 décrit un meuble réalisé à partir de panneaux assemblés les uns aux autres par l'intermédiaire d'éléments de liaisons formés par des profilés dans lesquels les bords des panneaux sont emboités. Ces profilés sont visibles tant à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur du meuble.The document US 3,285,444 discloses a piece of furniture made from panels assembled to each other by means of connecting elements formed by sections in which the edges of the panels are nested. These profiles are visible both outside and inside the furniture.

L'invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un meuble esthétique, qui soit en outre facile à fabriquer et à monter.The invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing an aesthetic furniture, which is also easy to manufacture and assemble.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un meuble, comportant un volume délimité par au moins une première et une seconde parois sensiblement parallèles l'une par rapport à l'autre, ainsi qu'au moins une paroi d'extrémité, caractérisé en ce que la paroi d'extrémité comporte une base à partir de laquelle s'étendent une première et une seconde branches, disposées respectivement dans le prolongement de la première et de la seconde parois, l'extrémité de la première, respectivement de la seconde branche, présente une forme en créneau, l'extrémité correspondante de la première, respectivement de la seconde paroi présentant une forme complémentaire en créneau. L'extrémité libre de la première branche, respectivement de la seconde branche, étant fixée sur l'extrémité correspondante de la première paroi, respectivement de la seconde paroi, au niveau d'une zone de jonction, par l'intermédiaire d'un premier, respectivement d'un second élément de jonction faisant saillie à l'intérieur du volume, ledit meuble comportant au moins une étagère reposant sur le premier et sur le second éléments de jonction, ladite étagère présente un logement à l'intérieur duquel sont logés les éléments de jonction.For this purpose, the invention relates to a piece of furniture, comprising a volume delimited by at least first and second walls substantially parallel to one another, and at least one end wall, characterized in that that the end wall comprises a base from which extend first and second branches, respectively disposed in the extension of the first and second walls, the end of the first and second branches respectively; has a crenellated form, the corresponding end of the first, respectively the second wall having a complementary slot form. The free end of the first branch, respectively of the second branch, being fixed on the corresponding end of the first wall, respectively of the second wall, at a junction zone, via a first or a second junction element projecting inside the volume, said piece of furniture comprising at least one shelf resting on the first and the second connecting elements, said shelf has a housing inside which are housed the connecting elements.

De cette manière, la paroi d'extrémité peut, si nécessaire, présenter un arrondi entre la base et chacune des branches. En outre, les éléments de jonction étant logés dans les étagères, ceux-ci ne sont pas visibles par un utilisateur. L'esthétique du meuble est donc améliorée.In this way, the end wall may, if necessary, have a rounding between the base and each of the branches. In addition, the junction elements being housed in the shelves, they are not visible by a user. The aesthetics of the furniture is therefore improved.

En outre, les éléments de jonction servent également au support des étagères, de sorte que le montage du meuble est simplifié.In addition, the connecting elements are also used to support the shelves, so that the assembly of the furniture is simplified.

La forme en créneau augmente la résistance mécanique de la zone de jonction et confère un aspect esthétique particulier au meuble. Le créneau permet également d'éviter de superposer des épaisseurs de tôle lors d'un soyage où les plots d'une tôle extérieure traverseraient une tôle intérieure. Préférentiellement, chaque élément de jonction présente une forme générale allongée, s'étendant le long de la zone de jonction correspondante.The crenellated form increases the mechanical strength of the junction area and gives a particular aesthetic appearance to the piece of furniture. The slot also makes it possible to avoid superimposing sheet thicknesses during a trimming where the studs of an outer sheet would pass through an inner sheet. Preferably, each joining element has a generally elongated shape, extending along the corresponding junction zone.

Selon une possibilité de l'invention, la première et la seconde parois comportent chacune au moins un plot s'étendant dans le volume, la première et la seconde branches comportant également chacune au moins un plot s'étendant dans le volume, chaque élément de jonction comporte au moins deux trous dans lesquels sont insérés les plots correspondants.According to a possibility of the invention, the first and second walls each comprise at least one stud extending in the volume, the first and the second branches also each comprising at least one stud extending in the volume, each element of junction comprises at least two holes in which are inserted the corresponding pads.

On évite ainsi d'utiliser des vis ou des boulons traversant les premières et secondes parois, dont la tête et l'empreinte sont visibles depuis l'extérieur du meuble.This avoids the use of screws or bolts passing through the first and second walls, whose head and footprint are visible from outside the cabinet.

En outre, l'avantage de la construction en créneau est d'aligner les plots sur un axe, de sorte que la largeur de l'élément de liaison peut être réduite.In addition, the advantage of the slot construction is to align the pads on an axis, so that the width of the connecting element can be reduced.

Avantageusement, chaque plot présente une extrémité filetée, l'élément de jonction étant fixé par boulonnage sur lesdits plots.Advantageously, each stud has a threaded end, the connecting element being fixed by bolting on said pads.

Préférentiellement, le meuble présente une face avant et une face arrière, par exemple munie d'un fond, l'étagère présentant une base à partir de laquelle s'étend un rebord délimitant avec la base le logement dans lequel sont logés les éléments de jonction, ledit rebord étant disposé du côté de la face avant du meuble.Preferably, the furniture has a front face and a rear face, for example provided with a bottom, the shelf having a base from which extends a flange delimiting with the base housing in which are housed the connecting elements , said flange being disposed on the side of the front of the furniture.

Selon une possibilité de l'invention, les première et seconde parois, la paroi d'extrémité et/ou l'étagère sont réalisés en tôle.According to a possibility of the invention, the first and second walls, the end wall and / or the shelf are made of sheet metal.

Les différents composants peuvent alors être réalisés simplement, par découpage et par pliage.The different components can then be made simply, by cutting and folding.

De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples, plusieurs formes de réalisation de ce meuble.

Le meuble selon l'invention comporte une première et seconde parois verticales 1, 2, présentant chacune une extrémité inférieure 3 et une extrémité supérieure 4.The furniture according to the invention comprises a first and second vertical walls 1, 2, each having a lower end 3 and an upper end 4.

Les extrémités inférieures 3 sont reliées l'une à l'autre par une paroi d'extrémité inférieure 5, les extrémités supérieures 4 étant reliées l'une à l'autre par une paroi d'extrémité supérieure 6.The lower ends 3 are connected to one another by a lower end wall 5, the upper ends 4 being connected to one another by an upper end wall 6.

La paroi d'extrémité supérieure 6 présente une forme générale en U comportant une base 7 à partir de laquelle s'étendent une première et une seconde branches 8, 9.The upper end wall 6 is generally U-shaped with a base 7 from which first and second branches 8, 9 extend.

La première et la seconde branches 8, 9 s'étendant respectivement dans le prolongement de la première et de la seconde parois verticales 1, 2.The first and second branches 8, 9 extending respectively in the extension of the first and second vertical walls 1, 2.

Plus particulièrement, la liaison 10 entre chaque branche 8, 9 et la base 7 est de forme générale arrondie.More particularly, the connection 10 between each branch 8, 9 and the base 7 is of generally rounded shape.

Les parois verticales 1, 2 et les parois d'extrémité 5, 6 sont réalisées en tôle et délimitent un volume 11 dans lequel sont montées des étagères 12.The vertical walls 1, 2 and the end walls 5, 6 are made of sheet metal and delimit a volume 11 in which shelves 12 are mounted.

Le meuble comporte en outre une face avant ouverte et une face arrière, fermée par un fond 13. Comme cela est connu en soi, la face avant peut être fermée à l'aide d'une porte ou d'un tiroir, comme cela est représenté à la figure 8.The cabinet further comprises an open front face and a rear face, closed by a bottom 13. As is known per se, the front face can be closed using a door or a drawer, as is represented at figure 8 .

On s'intéressera plus particulièrement à la zone de jonction entre les première et seconde parois 1, 2 et la paroi d'extrémité supérieure 6.We will focus more particularly on the junction zone between the first and second walls 1, 2 and the upper end wall 6.

Cette zone de jonction est représentée plus particulièrement aux figures 2 et 3.This junction zone is represented more particularly in figures 2 and 3 .

Comme cela est représenté sur ces figures, l'extrémité libre 14 de chaque branche 8, 9 présente une forme en créneau délimitant une pluralité de dents 15, l'extrémité supérieure 4 des premier et seconde parois 1, 2 présentant une forme complémentaire en créneau, les dents 16 de celle-ci étant imbriquées dans les dents 15.As shown in these figures, the free end 14 of each branch 8, 9 has a crenel shape delimiting a plurality of teeth 15, the upper end 4 of the first and second walls 1, 2 having a complementary slot shape , the teeth 16 thereof being nested in the teeth 15.

Certaines des dents 15, 16 sont équipées de goujons 17 cylindriques faisant saillie perpendiculairement au plan de la première ou de la seconde paroi 1, 2, en direction de la paroi verticale 1, 2 opposée, c'est-à-dire à l'intérieur du volume 11 du meuble. Les goujons 17 sont disposés à la fois sur des dents 15 appartenant à la paroi d'extrémité supérieure 6 et sur des dents 16 appartenant aux parois verticales 1, 2. L'extrémité libre des goujons 17 est filetée.Some of the teeth 15, 16 are equipped with cylindrical studs projecting perpendicular to the plane of the first or second wall 1, 2, in the direction of the opposite vertical wall 1, 2, that is to say to the interior of volume 11 of the furniture. The studs 17 are arranged both on teeth 15 belonging to the upper end wall 6 and on teeth 16 belonging to the vertical walls 1, 2. The free end of the studs 17 is threaded.

Le nombre et la position des goujons 17 peuvent être ajustés. Un grand nombre de goujons apporte une grande résistance mécanique. L'avantage de la construction en créneau permet d'aligner les goujons sur un axe A (figure 1), de sorte que la largeur du tasseau peut être réduite. Par voie de conséquence, l'épaisseur de l'étagère peut également être réduite.The number and position of the studs 17 can be adjusted. A large number of studs bring great mechanical strength. The advantage of the crenel construction is to align the studs on an A axis ( figure 1 ), so that the width of the cleat can be reduced. As a result, the thickness of the shelf can also be reduced.

Comme cela est représenté à la figure 3, un élément de liaison 18 est monté sur chaque zone de liaison.As shown in figure 3 a connecting element 18 is mounted on each connecting zone.

L'élément de liaison se présente sous la forme d'un tasseau 18 allongé, s'étendant le long de la zone de liaison. Le tasseau 18 comporte une pluralité de trous, dans lesquels sont insérés les goujons 17, chaque trou comportant en outre un lamage 19 destiné à noyer un écrou (non représenté) vissé sur l'extrémité filetée des goujons 17.The connecting member is in the form of an elongate cleat 18 extending along the connection zone. The cleat 18 comprises a plurality of holes in which the studs 17 are inserted, each hole further comprising a countersink 19 for drowning a nut (not shown) screwed onto the threaded end of the studs 17.

Le tasseau 18 permet ainsi de relier mécaniquement la paroi d'extrémité supérieure 6 aux parois verticales 1, 2.The cleat 18 thus makes it possible to mechanically connect the upper end wall 6 to the vertical walls 1, 2.

Chaque tasseau 18 comporte en outre au moins un, préférentiellement deux moyens d'encliquetage 20 constituant un arrêt en translation invisible de l'étagère.Each batten 18 further comprises at least one, preferably two latching means 20 constituting a stop in invisible translation of the shelf.

Comme vu précédemment, une pluralité d'étagères 12 sont montées sur les parois verticales 1, 2As seen above, a plurality of shelves 12 are mounted on the vertical walls 1, 2

En particulier, une étagère 21 est montée au niveau de la zone de jonction. Cette étagère comporte un premier et un second chant latéraux 22, 23 (figure 4) prenant appui respectivement sur l'élément de liaison 18 situé du côté de la première paroi verticale 1 et sur l'élément de liaison 18 situé du côté de la seconde paroi verticale 2.In particular, a shelf 21 is mounted at the junction area. This shelf has first and second side edges 22, 23 ( figure 4 ) bearing respectively on the connecting element 18 located on the side of the first vertical wall 1 and on the connecting element 18 located on the side of the second vertical wall 2.

L'étagère 21 est réalisée en tôle ou à partir d'un panneau et comporte une base horizontale 24 présentant un chant arrière, situé du côté du fond 13, et un chant avant 25 (figure 1). Une rainure est réalisée dans chaque chant latéral 22, 23, ladite rainure ne débouchant pas au niveau du chant avant 25.The shelf 21 is made of sheet metal or from a panel and comprises a horizontal base 24 having a rear edge, located on the bottom side 13, and a front edge 25 ( figure 1 ). A groove is formed in each side edge 22, 23, said groove does not open at the edge before 25.

En outre, chaque chant latéral 22, 23 est équipé de moyens d'encliquetage additionnels conçus pour coopérer avec les moyens d'encliquetage 20 des tasseaux correspondants 18.In addition, each lateral edge 22, 23 is equipped with additional latching means designed to cooperate with the latching means 20 of the corresponding cleats 18.

Les tasseaux correspondants 18 sont insérés dans les rainures des chants latéraux. Ainsi, après la pose de l'étagère 21, les tasseaux 18 sont complètement invisibles. Les moyens d'encliquetage 20 coopèrent les uns avec les autres, de manière à maintenir en position ladite étagère 21.The corresponding cleats 18 are inserted into the grooves of the side edges. Thus, after the installation of the shelf 21, the cleats 18 are completely invisible. The latching means 20 cooperate with each other so as to hold said shelf 21 in position.

Le meuble comporte en outre, hors de la zone de jonction précitée, des étagères 12 de structure identique, fixées à l'aide de tasseaux et de moyens d'encliquetage similaires à ceux décrit précédemment.The cabinet further comprises, outside the aforementioned junction area, shelves 12 of identical structure, fixed with cleats and latching means similar to those described above.

La paroi d'extrémité inférieure 5, quant à elle, peut être fixée par tout moyen connu aux parois verticales 1, 2.As for the lower end wall 5, it can be fixed by any known means to the vertical walls 1, 2.

Selon une forme de réalisation non représentée, les goujons 17 peuvent être emmanchés à force dans des trous ménagés dans les tasseaux 18.According to an embodiment not shown, the studs 17 can be forced into holes in the cleats 18.

Une autre forme de réalisation est représentée aux figures 4 à 6. Celle-ci est similaire à celle présentée précédemment, le meuble présentant toutefois un plus grand nombre d'étagères 12 ainsi que, en vue de côté, un rétrécissement au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure 3.Another embodiment is shown in Figures 4 to 6 . This is similar to that presented above, the cabinet however having a greater number of shelves 12 and, in side view, a narrowing at the lower end 3.

Les figures 7 à 12 représentent d'autres formes de réalisation dans lequel le meuble peut être équipé d'une pluralité de tiroirs ou portes 27 et présenter différentes hauteurs.The Figures 7 to 12 represent other embodiments in which the piece of furniture can be equipped with a plurality of drawers or doors 27 and have different heights.

Dans chacune des formes de réalisation présentées ci-dessus, la zone de jonction présente une forme en créneau.In each of the embodiments presented above, the junction zone has a slot shape.

Toutefois, comme illustré à la figure 13, les extrémités 14 des branches 8, 9 et les extrémités 4 des parois verticales 1, 2 pourraient être formées par un bord horizontal droit 28.However, as illustrated in figure 13 the ends 14 of the branches 8, 9 and the ends 4 of the vertical walls 1, 2 could be formed by a horizontal straight edge 28.

Dans cette forme de réalisation, de la même manière que précédemment, les goujons 17 s'étendent au niveau de chaque extrémité 4, 14, les tasseaux présentant une série de trous destinés à accueillir les goujons 17. Dans ce cas toutefois, les goujons 17 ne peuvent pas tous être alignés suivant un axe, la largeur du tasseau 18 étant nécessairement plus importante.In this embodiment, in the same manner as before, the pins 17 extend at each end 4, 14, the cleats having a series of holes for receiving the studs 17. In this case, however, the studs 17 can not all be aligned along an axis, the width of the cleat 18 is necessarily larger.

Comme il va de soi l'invention ne se limite pas aux seules formes de réalisation de ce dispositif de jeu, décrites ci-dessus à titre d'exemples, mais elle embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiments of this gaming device, described above as examples, but it encompasses all variants.
