Description
- The present invention relates to a support for drawers, in particular a support for the bottom of the drawers.
- Currently there are different types of drawers, characterized by different shapes and sizes and with different applications and uses.
- In particular, according to the type of objects that are introduced and their weight, the bottom of the drawer is subjected to a deformation which tends to bend it or to separate it from the remaining portion of the drawer.
- Said deformation involves structural and functionality problems related to the drawer, as the bottom might collapse or break away from the drawer structure, rendering it unusable.
- In fact, the bending of the bottom of the drawer may impair the normal use of said drawer, as the deformation may prevent the correct opening and closing of the drawer.
- The drawer is provided with suitable sliding means which couple with the guide means disposed on the cabinet and the bottom deformation may impede the relative movement of the parts.
- The problem appears to be more related to the solutions and proposals the prior art has found so far.
- The quickest way to address the above problem is to strengthen the drawer, in particular its bottom part, by increasing the thickness or by using tougher materials.
- If a component thickness increase is chosen, there is a consequent increase in the drawer weight which requires enhanced resistance of the guide means, which should then be increased.
- This weight increase do aggravate the cabinet structure, which should be reviewed by a structural point of view according to the new loads which it is subjected to.
- The use of more resistant materials implies production and processing cost increase, due to a higher raw material cost and to longer construction times.
- In particular, the wood to metal transition, for example, involves the creation of a different production line, with different processing tools and machines.
- A further problem arises during the cabinet assembly, in particular in aligning the drawers one each other.
- Normally a drawer is realized by a bottom wall, two side walls, a rear wall and a front wall.
- During the drawer assembly phases, the bottom wall, the rear wall and the side walls are joined together, then the guide and sliding means are mounted, and finally the front wall is joined thereto, obtaining a ready to use drawer.
- Considering, for example, a chest of drawers, that is a cabinet comprising several stacked drawers: the arising problem is to vertically align said plurality of drawers.
- The vertical misalignment of the front wall of the drawers is due to working inaccuracies, and it is also a functional problem in addition to be an aesthetic problem, in that it creates structural asymmetry and therefore load asymmetry.
- The currently used solutions are not very effective or too elaborated during assembly or use.
- For example, made of plastic material reinforcing elements, positioned between the drawer bottom wall and the front wall that allow the front wall to be moved with reference to the rear part in order to centre it, are known.
- These reinforcing elements extend the production times during the drawer components assembly and tend to stiffen and break down over the time.
- The German utility model
DE 202009007870U1 describes a tray constituted by a base, two side walls and a front wall. The drawer is made of metal or plastic. The front wall is connected with the side walls on the front side of the tray. The front wall is equipped with multiple mounting latches, which are arranged in the side frames and the base area. The front wall is attached to the front of the tray by fixing clips and support units. - The
US patent application US 2011/304249 describes a box structure of modular drawer, wherein the front plate and the back plate of the tray are mainly designed to be separate, built, and assembled, and the bottom plate and the two side plates are designed to be integrated and bent, so as to allow easy assembly and reduction in volume for the packaging and transport. - The
US patent US 5921648 describes a tray consisting of an injection molded plastic container and of a front panel. The front side of the container is open and is provided with a plurality of engagement pieces, a gripping edge, an outlet, a plurality of engagement holes, the two connecting edges and two engaging grooves. The front panel is provided with a plurality of engagement holes, the withdrawal chamber, an opening, an engagement edge, a plurality of locking hooks, two adjacent edges and two engagement hooks, to be attached to the front side of the container. - The object of the present invention is to provide a drawer provided with a support for the bottom wall able to ensure an effective support to said bottom wall, avoiding its deformation under the weight of the articles placed in said drawer.
- Further object of the present invention is to provide a drawer provided with a support for the bottom wall allowing the position of the front wall of the drawer to be adjusted with respect to the rear portion of said drawer.
- Subject of the present invention is therefore a drawer for furniture or the like, comprising a bottom wall, a front wall, two side walls and a rear wall, wherein said bottom wall is provided with at least one protrusion and said front wall is provided with at least one support adapted to cooperate and to couple with said protrusion, characterized in that said support comprises a plate having a substantially L-shaped section provided with at least one through hole which opens onto one of the two flaps of said support, and a slot formed in the other one flap, allowing said support to be coupled to the bottom wall.
- These and other features of the invention, and the advantages derived therefrom, will be apparent in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, taken by way of example and not of a limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-

Figure 12 shows a perspective view of the completed coupling ofFigure 11 between the front wall and the bottom wall of the drawer. -
FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of thesupport 1 for bottom walls of the drawer according to the present invention. - Said
support 1 has a substantially L-shaped section, constituted by a long flap L1 and by a short flap L2 which is substantially perpendicular and adjacent to said long flap L1, and which advantageously comprises a suitably bent plate. - The
support 1 is provided with at least oneslot 10 located on the long flap L1 of said "L" for the joint insertion in it of theprotrusion element 40. - The
support 1 is provided with at least one throughhole 11, preferably with at least two throughholes 11, placed onto the short flap L2 of said "L", so as to facilitate thesupport 1 to be secured to thefront wall 2. - More preferably, the
support 1 is also provided with at least a throughhole 12 placed on the long flap L2 of said "L"; in such a way, thesupport 1 can be further secured to thebottom wall 4 by means of a screw (not shown in the figures) passing through said throughhole 12. - In a preferred embodiment, the portion of said long flap L1 of the
support 1 is tilted at its end L3 opposite to said short flap L2. - Preferably, the
support 1 according to the present invention has certain mechanical properties, in particular flexibility and elasticity, in order to accommodate the deformation to which is subjected and to return to its original shape later on, once the stress that has caused such a deformation is ended over. - Indeed, as it will be perceived from the description of
Figs. 5-12 , saidsupport 1 is subjected to a mechanical stress which bends it, and once said stress is over, said support 1 returns to its original shape to ensure the coupling of the parts. - In a preferred embodiment, said
support 1 is realized with a metallic material, in particular steel. - Preferably, said used steel substantially comprises harmonic steel (the harmonic steel being a silicon steel with high carbon content, such as 0.80 - 0.90%), or steel for springs.
-
Figure 2 is a sectional view of the support for bottom wall of the drawer depicted inFig. 1 . - Assuming that to same parts correspond same numbers, in
figure 2 thesupport 1 provided with theslot 10, a first throughhole 12 and the second throughhole 11 is shown. - From
Figure 2 it appears more clearly how the ends of the long flap of said L is tilted. -
Figure 3 shows the front wall of the drawer seen from the bottom. - The
front wall 2 is the wall of the drawer which is visible from outside and which is normally provided with gripping means through which the user can open or close the drawer. - The
front wall 2 comprisespads 20 that will couple with theside walls 30, in particular with the cavities present in saidside walls 30. -
Figure 4 shows the rear portion of the drawer. - The rear portion comprises the
bottom wall 4, theside walls 30 and therear wall 3. - The
side walls 30 are provided withsuitable cavities 300 made in such a way as to couple with thepads 20 of thefront wall 2 of said drawer. - Said coupling allows, during assembly, to quickly and accurately join the
front wall 2 to the remaining portion of the drawer. - The
bottom wall 4 is provided with aprotrusion 40 projecting outwardly of the drawer adapted to cooperate with thesupport 1 according to the present invention. - In a first embodiment, said
protrusion 40 is integrally formed with thebottom wall 4 of the drawer. - In a second preferred embodiment, said
protrusion 40 comprises a pin 40 (Figures 7 and9 ), substantially cylindrical in shape, suitably secured to saidbottom wall 4. - In a third preferred embodiment, said
protrusion 40 comprises the protrudingportion 41 of a wedge shapedabutment element 42 suitably secured to thebottom wall 4 of the drawer (Figures 10-12 ), preferably by means of a pin and of a screw. - The interaction between the
protrusion 40, anyhow it is represented, and thesupport 1 will be clearer and better illustrated in the following drawings. -
Figure 5 shows in detail the coupling between thefront wall 2 and the rear portion of the drawer. - From
Figure 5 it appears how thesupport 1 according to the present invention is preferably secured to thefront wall 2 by suitable fastening means 100, which include the screws, and that pass through said through holes 11. - During the assembly phase, the operator takes the
front wall 2 and gradually approaches it to the rear portion, entering thepads 20 in therespective cavities 300 of theside walls 30. - In the movement of joining the parts, the
protrusion 40 cooperates with thesupport 1 according to the present invention and when the parts are joined, saidprotrusion 40 is inserted into theslot 10 of thesupport 1. - The coupling between the
protrusion 40 and theslot 10 is automatic, and the operator has only to accost the parts and to insert thepads 20 into thecavity 300. - The
support 1 for thebottom wall 4 of the drawers according to the present invention allows a simple and quick component mounting and, at the same time, allows the position of thefront wall 2 to be adjusted with respect to the rear portion of the drawer, so as to centre it. - For example, if a chest of drawers is taken into consideration, that is a cabinet comprising several stacked drawers, the arising problem is that one of ensuring that all the drawers are well aligned one each other.
- From the above description, it appears that the protrusion 40 (whether it is realized in one piece with the
bottom wall 4 of the drawer, or it is represented by the above described pin or wedge-shaped element abutment) can longitudinally and transversely slide along theslot 10; in this way it is possible to tolerate the looseness and tolerances of the guide means, of the housings, and of all the components forming the drawer, so as to obtain a perfect alignment of the drawers. - This is not possible with the currently used supports for the production of drawers and, where different solutions are provided aiming to solve said problem, they are not very effective and not practical in the installation.
- For example, if the
bottom wall 4 and thefront wall 2 are secured one each other through joints or fixed anchoring means, such as screws, or if supports not allowing any relative movement of the parts are used, it would not be possible to obtain such tolerances and properly alignment of the drawers one each other. -
Figure 6 shows a sectional view of the coupling phase between thefront wall 2 and thebottom wall 4 of the drawer, whileFigure 7 shows a perspective view of the same coupling phase shown infigure 6 . - From
Figures 6 and 7 appears that theprotrusion 40, as represented in these embodiments by the substantiallycylindrical pin 40, cooperates with thesupport 1 up to couple with it. - During the joining of the
front wall 2 with thebottom wall 4 of the drawer, thepin 40 bends thesupport 1 and slides along its surface until reaching theslot 10. - The
support 1 presses on thepin 40 and the coupling of thepin 40 into theslot 10 is automatic; in fact, when thepin 40 enters theslot 10, thesupport 1, being flexible, is able to come back to its natural position thus realizing the coupling between the parts, as shown inFig. 8 and 9 . -
Figure 8 is a sectional view of the completed coupling between thefront wall 2 and thebottom wall 4 of the drawer, whileFigure 9 is a perspective view of the same completed coupling shown infigure 8 , wherein the protrusion is represented by thepin 40. - From
Figures 8 and 9 appears that thefront wall 2 is well secured to therear portion 3, in particular to thebottom wall 4 of the drawer. - In particular, there are no gaps or openings between the
bottom wall 4 of the drawer and saidfront wall 2, and thesupport 1 for thebottom wall 4 of the drawer, in addition to ensuring a correct joining between the parts, provides a support to thebottom wall 4 of the drawer avoiding that it bends under the weight of the objects that are stored in the drawer. -
Figure 10 is a perspective view of a further embodiment of theprotrusion 40 formed by the projectingpart 41 of a wedge shapedabutment element 42, whereby the surface of theabutment element 42 has a constant gradual slope. - Similarly to what has been disclosed with reference to
Figures 6 and 7 wherein theprotrusion 40 is constituted by thepin 40,Figure 11 shows the coupling phase between thefront wall 2 and thebottom wall 4 of the drawer in the case in which theprotrusion 40 is constituted by the protrudingpart 41 of the wedge shapedabutment element 42 offigure 10 . - From such
Figure 11 it appears that, during the joining and locking movement of thefront wall 2 with thebottom wall 4 of the drawer, thesupport 1 according to the present invention is able, first, to raise up theabutment element 42 in a gradual, smooth and progressive manner, and thereafter, to descend from theabutment element 42 itself to complete the coupling (Figure 12 ), obtaining the same result of a non-permanent joining obtained when theprotrusion 40 is represented by the pin, as shown inFigures 7 and9 . - Furthermore, by such an embodiment, wherein the
protrusion 40 is formed by the projectingpart 41 of the wedge shapedabutment element 42, a further advantage of a gradual impact with thesupport 1 during the coupling phase is obtained, thus reducing the wear that occurs in theprotrusion 40 for its constant rigid friction against thesupport 1, when the coupling is realized by means of thepin 40 ofFigures 7 and9 . - In this way, the possibility of both vertically and horizontally adjustment in the tooth of the wedge shaped
abutment element 42 is also obtained. Such an adjustment, while being only of the order of few millimetres, both in one direction or another, however, is able to achieve the purpose of tolerating the looseness and tolerances of the guide means, of the housings, and of all the components that contribute to realize the drawer.
