Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a furnishing element.
  • the present invention refers to a modular furnishing element and to a composition comprising such furnishing element.
  • furnishing elements should meet various needs, at times in contrast with respect to each other, encountered by the users. For example, furnishing elements should be particularly comfortable and accessible in use thereof, but the user simultaneously desires that they be aesthetically appealing and innovative.
  • furnishing elements should also be easy and inexpensive to make, so as to meet the aforementioned needs through financially accessible products.
  • documents US3529878 , US3563624 EP0062711 and US4458961 disclose box-like furnishing elements in which one side of the box-like structure is left open to allow the use of the interior compartment.
  • compositions which - in their limited variability - are substantially similar and repetitive with respect to each other.
  • the interior compartment is fixed a priori in the capacity thereof, this limitation not being modifiable in any manner by varying the composition, but solely by varying the dimensions of the box-like element.
  • Document US4095858 discloses an example of a modular furnishing element with a box-like structure in which, besides the opposite front wall, the bottom wall was opened in order to increase the accessibility of the interior compartment.
  • Document GB289824 also discloses the provision of furniture with a structure in which accessibility to the interior compartment from different directions is facilitated.
  • Documents EP0680711 and DE9402397 disclose the provision of furniture also capable of providing an easy accessibility to the interior compartment from different directions.
  • Documents FR 2 229 556 , FR 2 422 363 and US 3 401 993 disclose containers made of plastic or synthetic material or sheets that can be stacked due to the coupling devices provided for on the borders which delimit the openings, making these containers unsuitable for use as furnishing elements.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a furnishing element having the structural and functional characteristics such to meet the aforementioned needs and simultaneously overcome the drawbacks mentioned with reference to the prior art.
  • FIG. 1 represents - in perspective view - a modular furnishing element according to the invention
  • FIG. 4 frontally represents- schematically with parts separated - an example of composition of two modular furnishing elements according to the invention
  • figure 5 frontally represents - schematically with parts separated - a further example of composition which combines to the assembly of figure 4 a further modular furnishing element;
  • figure 6 frontally represents- schematically with parts separated - another example of composition which combines to the assembly of figure 5 further two modular furnishing elements;
  • FIG. 10 represents - in axonometric view - with parts separated a modular furnishing element according to the invention
  • FIG. 11 represents - in front and schematic view an assembly with a composition of different modular furnishing elements according to the invention
  • FIG. 12 shows - in perspective view from the rear - a modular furnishing element with fastening means, for example for fastening to a wall or to other modular furnishing elements.
  • a modular furnishing element 1 comprises a box-like structure 2 having six sides internally forming a compartment 7.
  • only four of said sides are formed by panels 3, 4, 5, 6, or portions of a box-like structure.
  • said four panels 3, 4, 5, 6 are arranged adjacent to each other, for example approaching the edges of said panels to each other, for example preventing one of said panels from projecting outside cantilevered with a portion thereof.
  • said panels 3, 4, 5, 6 are components separated from each other and couplable to each other, for example arranging them orthogonal to each other and approaching one edge to the other, to form said open box-like structure.
  • said modular furnishing element 1 is made of a single piece such as for example a single casting or single moulding or single folded strip.
  • said panels 3, 4, 5, 6 are four panels for each modular furnishing element 1.
  • said panels 3, 4, 5, 6 have thicknesses equal to each other.
  • said panels 3, 4, 5, 6 each form a substantially flat or quadrangular wall with 4 edges and two faces opposite to each other, in which said edges are of predefined thickness. According to an embodiment, said edges are orthogonal to each other.
  • said adjacent panels 3, 4, 5, 6 close said four sides and delimit, for example the borders of two other sides 8, 9 adjacent to each other and open so as allow access to the interior compartment 7 of said box-like structure 2, forming a first and a second opening 8, 9 adjacent to each other.
  • the borders of the panels which delimit said first and second adjacent opening 8, 9 are singularly flat borders.
  • the borders of the panels which delimit said first and second adjacent opening 8, 9 are borders without projections and/or recesses and/or devices for connecting and/or coupling to an adjacent panel.
  • the borders of the panels which delimit said first and second adjacent opening 8, 9 are borders without elements capable of obstructing - even only partly - even only one of said two adjacent openings 8, 9, for example as defined by the flat faces of each panel adjacent to said openings.
  • the box-like structure 2 is provided so as prevent said open sides 8, 9 from being interested by any structural element totally or partially closing it, not even interesting a common border thereof 13.
  • said four adjacent panels 3, 4, 5, 6 have an extension adapted to completely close said four adjacent sides of the box-like structure 2, however preventing said panels 3, 4, 5, 6 from extending beyond said sides.
  • said structure is obtained by means of panels 3, 4, 5, 6 having an extension limited to the closure of only one side of the structure.
  • the box-like structure 2 comprises a first bottom panel 3 joined to a second back panel or backrest 4.
  • said box-like structure 2 further comprises a third right side panel 5 joined to said bottom 2 and said backrest 4, for example along the edges thereof.
  • said box-like structure 2 further comprises a fourth left side panel 6 joined to said bottom 2 and said backrest 4, for example along the edges thereof.
  • said box-like structure has walls having a thickness 16 predefined and variable from one module to another also for example, but not necessarily, in the same composition to form the desired assembly 10.
  • said box-like structure has a longitudinal extension 17 predefined and variable from one module to another even for example, but not necessarily, in the same composition to form the desired assembly 10.
  • said box-like structure has an extension in depth 18 predefined and variable from one module to another for example, but not necessarily, in the same composition to form the desired assembly 10.
  • said box-like structure has an extension in height 19 predefined and variable from one module to another for example, but not necessarily, in the same composition to form the desired assembly 10.
  • said four adjacent panels 3, 4, 5, 6 are connected to each other to form a self-bearing structure so as prevent the use in said box-like structure of frameworks or auxiliary support structures, particularly preventing beams from hindering said adjacent openings 8, 9 or preventing the use of angular elements or angular devices for connection between the panels.
  • connection areas between said adjacent panels 3, 4, 5, 6 are provided so as to substantially conceal the coupling joints between the panels.
  • said adjacent openings 8, 9 in said box-like structure 2 allow access to said compartment 7 from directions orthogonal to each other X, Y.
  • said box-like structure is made of panels for furniture, for example panels made of faced chipboard and/or veneered wood, for example coated, for example but not necessarily laminated, or veneered.
  • said box-like structure is made of panels for furniture, for example made of hardwood.
  • said box-like structure 2 is made of a single piece, for example but not necessarily made of synthetic material, for example but not necessarily, made of polypropylene for example, but not necessarily transparent or translucent.
  • At least one among said four adjacent panels 3, 4, 5, 6 have fastening means 14, for example means 14 for fastening to a wall for hanging said modular furnishing element 1 to said wall.
  • an assembly 10 comprises at least one modular furnishing element 1 according to any one of the embodiments described above.
  • At least one among said four adjacent panels 3, 4, 5, 6 have coupling means for connecting said modular furnishing element 1 to an adjacent modular furnishing element 1, by providing an assembly 10 or a composition.
  • said modular furnishing elements 1 in said assembly have a longitudinal extension 17 different from each other.
  • said modular furnishing elements 1 form with a respective first front opening 8 thereof a single common front opening 11.
  • said modular furnishing elements 1 form with second upper openings 9, arranged facing each other, interior compartments 7 communicating with respect to each other to form a single volume 12, for example, but not necessarily, with portions having height H1, H2 predefined and different from each other and for example, but not necessarily with at least two portions having two longitudinal extensions d1 and d2 predefined and different from each other.
  • At least two modular furnishing elements 1 arranged so as to mutually face at least one of said panels 3, 4, 5, 6.
