Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cabinet suspending device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Cabinet suspending devices are used to ensure proper support and fixing of a piece of furniture to a wall, be it an actual cabinet closed at the front by one or more doors, an open cabinet or a shelf.
  • Cabinet suspending devices are intended to be fixed, built in or otherwise associated with the structure of a piece of furniture, generally at the rear portion/wall of the structure of the piece of furniture intended to be leant against a support wall.
  • Cabinet suspending devices must ensure a fast and stable attachment of the device to a hook or a support rail previously fixed to a wall.
  • the cabinet suspending devices are provided with adjustment means adapted to allow the adjustment of the cabinet suspending device position, and thus of the piece of furniture associated thereto, with respect to the hook or support rail both in vertical direction, i.e. in height, and in a direction perpendicular to the wall itself, i.e. away from or approaching such a wall.
  • the problem underlying the present invention is to devise a cabinet suspending device able to meet the above requirement while obviating the problems of the cabinet suspending devices of the prior art.
  • reference numerals 1 and 101 generally indicate a first embodiment and a second embodiment of a cabinet suspending device according to the invention.
  • the cabinet suspending device 1, 101 is intended to be applied to or integrated in the structure of a piece of furniture 2 and to engage with removable coupling a support rail 3 projecting from a wall for keeping the piece of furniture attached to the wall.
  • Said support rail 3 comprises an attachment portion 3a, intended to be attached to the wall that must support the piece of furniture 2, and an upper hooking portion 3b which cantilevers from the attachment portion 3a to be engaged in a reversible manner by the suspending device 1.
  • the above upper hooking portion 3b defines the upper end portion of the support rail 3 when such a rail is attached to the wall.
  • the above hooking portion 3b of the support rail 3 comprises a hook-shaped end portion to achieve a better engagement with the cabinet suspending device 1, 101.
  • the cabinet suspending device 1, 101 comprises
  • the above support structure 4 is contained in a box-shaped body 10 from the first side of which the free hooking end 7a of the hooking means 7 protrudes.
  • coupling means interposed between the hooking means 7 and the support structure 4 are not illustrated in the figure for simplicity of representation.
  • such coupling means provide for a series of horizontal guides formed inside the box-shaped body 4 along which the hooking means 7 are guided in the longitudinal/horizontal direction X-X like a slider, so that the free end 7a of the hooking means 7 slides to and from the above projecting position more distanced from the support structure 4.
  • the above attaching means 8 are tabs projecting from the box-shaped body of the support structure 4 for engaging corresponding holes formed in the inner side of the walls of the piece of furniture 2.
  • attaching means such as expansion bolts, screws, nuts, bolts, studs, pins and the like.
  • said hooking means 7 comprise a blocking tab 12 positioned in proximity of said lower opening of said inner seat 11. Said blocking tab 12 allows:
  • the above free passage is positioned at the portion of the lower opening of the inner seat 11 that is most distal from the support structure 4, i.e. at the portion of the lower opening of the the inner seat 11 that is closest to the front side of the head end 7a and to the wall when the cabinet suspending device 1, 101 is in use.
  • said adjustment means for adjusting the distance of the free hooking end 7a of the hooking means 7 towards or away from said first side 10 of the support structure 4 comprise a longitudinal adjustment screw 5 extending longitudinally in said support structure 4, said longitudinal adjustment screw 5 acting between the support structure 4 and the hooking means 7.
  • said longitudinal adjustment screw 5 is accessible from the back side of said structure opposite said first side 10.
  • said longitudinal adjustment screw 5 engages a threaded nut integral in translation with said hooking means 7, so that a rotation in one direction or in the opposite direction of said longitudinal adjustment screw 5 causes a relative displacement towards or away from the free end 7a of the hooking means 7 from the first side 10 of the support structure 4.
  • the cabinet suspending device 1, 101 further comprises a vertical adjustment screw 6 extending vertically in said support structure 4, such a vertical adjustment screw 6 acting between the support structure 4 and the hooking means 7 for vertically adjusting the height of the relative position of the hooking means 7 with respect to the support structure 4.
  • the hooking means 7 are supported and guided by the support structure 4 so as to be displaceable in an adjustable manner both in the longitudinal/horizontal direction and in the vertical direction with respect to the support structure 4 which is integrally attached to the piece of furniture 2, so as to allow an adjustment of the depth and in the vertical direction of the piece of furniture 2 attached to the wall by means of the cabinet suspending device 1, 101.
  • the hooking means 7 are guided and supported by the support structure 7 so as to be able to slide reversibly in both the longitudinal/horizontal direction and in the vertical direction.
  • the above blocking tab 12 is associated to said hooking means 7 so as to be displaceable in a relative manner with respect to the free hooking end 7a of said hooking means 7 to reversibly switch from:
  • the cabinet suspending device 1 further comprises actuating means which can be operated to move the blocking tab 12 towards and from the advanced position with respect to the free hooking end 7a of said the hooking means 7 when the cabinet suspending device 1 is in use.
  • the blocking tab 12 is coupled to the hooking means 7 to be reversibly guided and supported by the hooking means 7 in the relative displacement from and towards said advanced position.
  • said blocking tab 12 is slidably coupled to and supported by the hooking means 7 (preferably by the bottom side of the hooking means 7) by means of a guide-slider coupling adapted to allow to reversibly move the blocking tab 12 from and towards said advanced position with respect to the hooking means 7.
  • the cabinet suspending device 1 comprises elastic means 13 acting on the blocking tab 12 to push said blocking tab 12 with a predetermined elastic load towards said advanced position with respect to the hooking means 7.
  • the lower opening of the inner seat 11 of said hooking means 7 surpasses the blocking tab 12, thus being not obstructed when the hooking means 7 are in said projecting position most distanced from said support structure 4 and the blocking tab 12 is in said maximum advanced travel end position.
  • said stop means for limiting the maximum advanced travel end position reached by the blocking tab 12 comprises said vertical adjustment screw 6 against which said blocking tab 12 interferes in said maximum advanced travel end position, preferably said vertical adjustment screw 6 extends perpendicularly to said blocking tab 12 through a slot extended in said blocking tab 12 in the longitudinal direction in which said blocking tab 12 projects from said first side 10 of said support structure 4.
  • the lower opening of the inner seat 11 is not obstructed by the blocking tab 12, so that the relative insertion or removal movement of the hooking portion 3b of the support rail 3 in the inner seat 11 through the lower opening thereof is not hindered by the blocking tab 12.
  • the attachment portion 3b of the support rail 3 defines with the blocking tab 12, more specifically with the lower side of the blocking tab 12, a shape coupling between inclined planes such as to cause a reversible retraction of the blocking tab 12 from said advanced travel end position towards a distanced position during the insertion of said attachment portion 3b of the support rail 3 in the lower opening of the inner seat 11, as shown in figure 7 .
  • Such a retraction of the blocking tab 12 is useful to allow the attachment portion 3b of the support rail 3 to effectively fit into the inner seat 11 and is made possible by the presence of the elastic means 13 which, as a result of the thrust exerted by the end of the attachment portion 3b of the support rail 3 on the lower side of the blocking lug tab 12, allow the blocking tab 12 to retract momentarily towards the first side 10 of the support structure 4.
  • the elastic means 13 acting on the blocking tab 12 providing to bring such a tab to the position in which they partially obstruct the lower opening of the inner seat 11 (see figure 6 ).
  • the head of the attachment portion 3b of the support rail 3 should be larger than the remaining part of the body of the attachment portion 3b so as to determine:
  • the above head of the hooking portion 3b of the support rail 3 is preferably shaped as a hook or is folded, preferably away from said attachment portion 3a, i.e. in such a way that the hook or the folding are facing towards the first side 10 of the support structure when the suspending device is in use (see figures 6 , 7 and 8 ).
  • the effective retaining action exerted by the blocking tab 12 on the head of the attachment portion 3b of the support rail 3, so as to firmly hold it inside the inner seat 11, allows preventing the piece of furniture 2 from being inadvertently disengaged from the support rail 3 as a result of an accidental thrust from the bottom upwards.
  • the simplicity of the cabinet suspending device 1 is such as to determine the possibility of moving the blocking tab 12 from and towards said advanced position, in which it partially obstructs the lower opening of the inner seat 11, acting only on the usual adjustment screws, in particular on the longitudinal adjustment screw 5, without therefore causing any complication of use with respect to the cabinet suspending devices of the prior art.
  • the device is provided with a blocking tab 112, which is integral with the hooking means 7 in order to be integral with the free end 7a of the hooking means 7 towards or away from said first side 10 of the support structure 4.
  • Said blocking tab 112 is positioned at the lower opening of the inner seat 11 of the free end 7a of the hooking means 7, more precisely in spaced relation from said lower opening and outside the inner seat 11.
  • the above free passage of the retaining seat which is delimited and defined by the inner seat 11 and by the blocking tab 112, is oriented away from the first side 10 of the support structure 4, i.e. is oriented in such a way as to be directed at least partially towards the support rail 3 when device 101 is in use (see figure 11 ).
  • the side of the inner seat 11 closest to the free end 7a of said hooking means 7 is defined by a front inner wall 113 which forms an inclined plane with respect to the vertical, so as to be converging towards the first side 10 of the support structure 4 proceeding from the lower opening towards the bottom of the inner seat 11.
  • the cabinet suspending device 101 allows effectively preventing the piece of furniture 2 from inadvertently disengaging from the support rail 3 as a result of an accidental thrust from the bottom upwards.
  • the engagement or disengagement of the upper hooking portion 3b of the support rail 3 inside the inner seat 11 of the free hooking end 7a of the hooking means 7 is only possible by tilting upwards, by a predetermined angle ⁇ , the piece of furniture 2 and the cabinet suspending device 101 associated therewith with respect to the support wall to which the support rail 3 is attached, as shown in figure 12 .
  • This inclination allows aligning the above free passage of the retaining seat with the upper hooking portion 3b of the support rail 3, allowing such hooking portion 3b of the support rail 3 to fit all the way into the inner seat 11 formed in the free hooking end 7a of the hooking means 7.
  • the distance of the free hooking end 7a of the hooking means 7 from the first side 10 of the support structure 4 is such as to prevent the piece of furniture 2 from only assuming a rotated/tilted position by an angle much smaller than said angle ⁇ in figure 12 , it being impossible to disengage the hooking portion 3b of the support rail 3 from the inner seat 11 formed in the free hooking end 7a of the hooking means 7, as can be seen in figures 14 and 15 .
  • the cabinet suspending device according to the present invention meets the above need and overcomes the drawbacks which have been described in the introductory part of the present description with reference to the prior art.
  • the device is able to prevent the accidental disengagement of the cabinet suspending device attached to the cabinet from the support rail.
  • a further advantage of the cabinet suspending device according to the invention lies in that the same does not need further adjustment means with respect to those normally provided for adjusting the positioning in depth and the vertical positioning of the suspending device with respect to the support rail.
  • a support rail 3 As the use of support rails nowadays is the most widely used method of supporting cabinets on a wall.
  • other support means to be attached to the wall that are structurally and/or functionally equivalent, such as hooks, brackets or pins.
