Description
- The present invention relates to a visible and adjustable hanging-bracket group for anchoring a wall cupboard to a wall, with perfected fixing means to the shoulder of the same wall cupboard.
- In particular, the hanging bracket, object of the invention, is of the "visible" type i.e. destined to be assembled inside a wall cupboard.
- Wall cupboards in which a hook is formed at the free end of an arm extending outwardly from a body or bearing structure made of plastic material, or metal, are known to skilled persons in the field.
- This box-shaped contains a mechanism for regulating the positions in depth and inclination (height) of said arm provided with a hook which is destined for being hooked to a wall support, shaped metal section, dowel, or the like.
- The hanging bracket thus structured is fixed to the shoulder of the wall cupboard by fixing means such as self-tapping screws, or plastic plugs yieldable with pressure, having a sawtooth profile, in correspondence with the upper edges of the cupboard, defined by the shoulder, the lining and the top.
- The screws are pass-through, i.e. they pass through the box-shaped body, and are screwed directly into the shoulder of the cupboard, whereas the plugs extend integrally laterally from the plastic box-shaped body and are pressure-inserted in a corresponding seat of the shoulder.
- A hanging bracket of the above type is described and illustrated, for example, in patents
EP 0033179 B1 andEP 0632979 A1 . - There are other types of hanging brackets that basically differ in the structure carrying the protruding arm provided with a hook, in the supports with which they are fixed to the wall cupboards, and also the means whereby the positions in depth and height (inclination) of the rear hook can be adjusted.
- These hanging brackets, as disclosed in patent
EP 1228720 B1 , for example, generally currently consist of a plate-element provided with a side flange which, in the assembly phase, is generally fixed by means of screws or expansion dowels inside holes provided on the shoulder of the wall cupboard. - As previously indicated and described in
EP 0632979 A1 andEP 1228720 B1 , the above known hanging brackets comprise a rear hook, protruding from a possible rear wall or lining of said wall cupboard, for hooking the wall cupboard to a support fixed on the wall, said hook being controlled by screw-and-nut mechanisms capable of allowing its position to be regulated, and consequently the position of the wall cupboard with respect to said support fixed to the wall. - Although these known hanging brackets are at present functional and correspond to the standards existing in the field of security of suspended furniture, in view of the current tendency to reduce the thicknesses of the panels forming the wall cupboards and increasing diffusion of this type of furniture, which is often also excessively loaded, it may unfortunately happen that this furniture/hanging bracket coupling is not always effective, long-lasting and above all safe.
- As the very stability of the wall cupboard is based on this constraint, unfortunately there may often be breakages of the hanging bracket itself and/or detachments of the hanging bracket from the wall cupboard, causing the wall cupboard to fall, due to the shear forces acting in the hanging bracket/cupboard coupling that are generated when the cupboard is loaded.

- Said hanging-
bracket group 10 comprises astructure 16 carrying a protrudingarm 14 equipped with ahook 15 suitable for being hooked to asupport 50 fixed to said wall, a first and asecond regulation mechanism 17, 17' of the position in depth and inclination, respectively, of said protrudingarm 14, and at least oneflange 18 which extends from said bearingstructure 16 for fixing said hangingbracket 10 to ashoulder 12 of saidwall cupboard 11, at least one hole for the passage of fixing means 19 of said hangingbracket 10 to saidshoulder 12 being provided in said at least oneflange 18. - As illustrated in the figures, said
flange 18 is a side flange. - Said at least one
flange 18 extends below and above said bearingstructure 16. - As illustrated, said
structure 16 carrying a protrudingarm 14 provided with ahook 15 can consist of a box-shaped body (figures 15-17 ) or a plate (figures 13 and 14 ). - The assembly phase with the couplings of the hanging
bracket 10, for example, by means ofscrews 19 that can be screwed into the side wall orshoulder 12 of thecupboard 11, is shown infigures 1,2 (known art) and 8,9 (invention), whereas infigures 3 (known art) and 10 (invention), thesame hanging brackets 10 can be seen, after assembly, with thehook 15 protruding to the rear, saidhook 15 can be provided protruding from a hole formed on a possible rear wall or lining, not illustrated, of thesame wall cupboard 11. - The hanging brackets of the type described above are then fixed to the
shoulder 12 of the wall cupboard 11 (according to the known art) by inserting the fixing means 19 inside respective seats in theshoulder 12, i.e. using, for example, a pair of self-tapping screws, as shown infigures 1 and 2 , or a pair of yieldable sawtooth-shaped plugs (not shown) pressure-inserted in a respective seat of theshoulder 12 of thecupboard 11. - Said fixing means 19 alone, however, are not capable of ensuring the stable and safe fixing of the hanging-
bracket group 10 to theshoulder 12 of thecupboard 11, with time: a system of vertical forces is in fact created, which thewall cupboard 11, as schematized for example infigure 4 , discharges on the hangingbracket 10. - As illustrated in
figure 3 , in fact, when thewall cupboard 11 is hung to the wall, the weight of the same generates a force on the hanging bracket that tends to rotate the hanging bracket 10: thescrew 19I acts as a fulcrum, whereas thesecond screw 19II is subjected to considerable stress and the material of which theshoulder 12 is produced is subjected to a greater force than that which can be sustained, with the consequent deformation of the insertion seats of thescrews 19 and yielding of the anchoring point (figure 4 ). The yielding causes the rotation of the hangingbracket 10 around thescrew 19I with the consequent risk of disengaging thewall cupboard 11 from the supportingelement 50 fixed to the wall. - According to the invention, said at least one
flange 18 also comprises at least oneelement 20 resistant to shear stress, which is generated when the hangingbracket 10 is assembled and when thewall cupboard 11 is loaded, protruding from said at least oneflange 18 towards saidshoulder 12 of saidwall cupboard 11, said at least oneelement 20 resistant to shear stress collaborating with one ormore fixing means 19, for a stable positioning of said hangingbracket 10 on saidshoulder 12 of saidwall cupboard 11. - According to an embodiment of the present invention, said hanging
bracket 10 comprises at least twoelements 20 resistant to shear stress that collaborate with at least two fixing means 19. - The
elements 20 resistant to shear stress, in addition to the fixing means 19, keep the hanging bracket firmly anchored to theshoulder 12 of the cupboard, in the correct position selected in the assembly phase (figure 8 ), with the consequent stable and safe fixing of the wall cupboard to the wall, as illustrated infigure 9 . - According to the invention, in fact, wherein the hanging
bracket 10 is fixed to the shoulder of the cupboard with a combination of fixing means 19 andelements 20 resistant to shear stress, there is a different system of forces that eliminates the rotation of the hangingbracket 10, as described above, thanks to the resistance offered by theelements 20 protruding from theflange 18, for example bushings, and inserted in theshoulder 12 of the cupboard.Figure 11a illustrates the resistance to shear stress offered by the bushings 20: saidbushings 20, by collaborating with thefixing means 19, for example screws, guarantee a stable positioning of the hangingbracket 10 on theshoulder 12 of thewall cupboard 11, in any case preventing misalignment of the hangingbracket 10 with respect to thecupboard 11. - According to the embodiment shown in the figures, said one or
more fixing means 19 are coupled with said at least oneflange 18, through the respective one ormore holes 44, in different positions with respect to said at least oneelement 20 resistant to shear stress. - According to the present invention, the alternation of an element resistant to
shear stress 20 with ahole 44 for the passage of the respective fixing means 19, is provided along said at least oneflange 18. - At least one pair, comprising an
element 20 resistant to shear stress and ahole 44 for the passage of therespective fixing means 19, is provided in correspondence with each of the ends of said at least one flange 18 (figure 10 ). - In an embodiment not according to the invention, said at least one
element 20 resistant to shear stress and said at least onefixing means 19 are aligned with each other, the axes X of said at least one fixing means 19 and said at least one element resistant toshear stress 20, being parallel to each other and perpendicular to thelongitudinal axis 18I of said at least one flange 18 (figures 11 and13 ). - According to the invention that said at least one element resistant to
shear stress 20 and/or said at least onefixing means 19 are not aligned with each other but are positioned offset with respect to each other, or with respect to the others, on said at least oneflange 18. - It can be provided, that the elements resistant to
shear stress 20 are positioned offset with respect to thefixing means 19, or that both the elements resistant toshear stress 20 and thefixing means 19 are not aligned with respect to each other. - The elements resistant to
shear stress 20 can be plug elements or, as illustrated in the figures, bushings, protruding from said at least oneflange 18 whose plugs or bushings are coupled, not necessarily forcibly, withrespective holes 41 formed in theshoulder 12 of thewall cupboard 11. - The elements resistant to
shear stress 20 can be formed directly on theflange 18 during the production of themetallic hanging bracket 10. - In an alternative embodiment, they can be produced separately and subsequently welded onto the
flange 18. - As illustrated in an embodiment, the
elements 20 are bushings or cylindrical plugs, having a circular section. - The smooth side surface of the bushing or plug ensures that the latter is not subject to tensile stress in the extraction direction.
- In an alternative embodiment, not illustrated, in relation to the type of cupboard with which the hanging
bracket 10 is to be coupled and the estimate of loads imposed, they can be hollow cylindrical plugs having a non-circular continuous section but with an arc circumference. - The fixing means 19 can comprise at least one
fixing screw 19 of said at least oneflange 18 to theshoulder 12 of thewall cupboard 11. - Said at least one
