Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of furniture, in particular the field of furniture for kitchens.
  • the present invention relates to a furnishing component comprising a hooking system for compensating panels (preferably “baseboards”), and an installation method thereof.
  • the furnishing components used for arranging cabinets, drawers, built-in appliances and sinks are often equipped with compensating panels, such as skirting boards (commonly referred to as “baseboards”), placed at the lower part of the furnishing component to close the space between the floor and the furnishing component itself.
  • compensating panels such as skirting boards (commonly referred to as “baseboards")
  • the baseboard can be used for aesthetic reasons to offer visual continuity between the top of the kitchen and the floor itself and made to match the kitchen furniture, in contrasting colour (e.g. steel-like), or a similar colour to other furnishings present in the environment.
  • contrasting colour e.g. steel-like
  • the baseboard is generally made of plastic, aluminium or wood, or other materials not expressly indicated here, depending on customer requirements.
  • Closing the space below the furnishing component prevents the accumulation of dirt and dust under the furniture, moreover ensuring that liquids or other substances cannot be deposited in areas which are hard to reach or clean.
  • Some more modern baseboards are also equipped with a lower seal that can ensure a high sealing level against liquid spills on the floor below the furnishing component, thus avoiding possible problems of stagnation and bad odours.
  • connection or hooking element In order to guarantee the aesthetic, functional and hygienic functions of the baseboard, it is essential that the connection or hooking element is correctly positioned in relation to the feet and firmly anchored to them so that, following any possible blows inflicted by a broom or a cleaning appliance used during floor cleaning operations, or an accidental bump with feet, the baseboard remains in a vertical position and ensures the seal on the floor. Furthermore, hooking the baseboard to the foot of the furniture must also allow easily removing, without any effort or damage, the baseboard itself, in case the user would like to clean the area of the kitchen below the furniture.
  • the hooking systems known in the prior art have highlighted several drawbacks primarily related to the installation and removal of the baseboard.
  • centring of the baseboard must be performed both along the vertical direction so that the hook is almost at the midpoint of the foot, and horizontally, to avoid not being able to connect the hooks to the respective feet.
  • some hooking systems have been equipped with a "comb"-type plate that can be inserted into the rear connection seat of the baseboard, and a hook for the connection of the foot which has a barb on the opposite side.
  • the comb-type plate is equipped with a series of horizontal parallel guides inside which this barb can be hooked.
  • the plate allows to compensate an error in the positioning of the baseboard equal to the length of the parallel guides and at the height of the same, since the barb can engage in any position between the guides. Therefore, the installer has a margin within which he can move along the direction of extension of the guides to realise the connection with the hook.
  • the technical task underpinning the present invention is to provide a furnishing component comprising a hooking system for compensating panels according to claim 1, and an installation method thereof, which overcome at least some of the drawbacks of the prior art cited above.
  • the object of the present invention to provide a furnishing component comprising a hooking system for compensating panels, and an installation method thereof, able to allow a simpler, faster, easy and accurate connection of the compensating panels.
  • a hook for support feet is indicated with the number 100 and reference will be made to it in the following description with the shorthand notation "hook 100".
  • connection component 200 A connection component for compensating panels is indicated with the number 200 and reference will be made to it in the following description with the shorthand notation "connection component 200".
  • a compensating panel for furnishing components is indicated with the number 300 and reference will be made to it in the following description with the notation "compensating panel 300".
  • a support foot for furnishing components is indicated with the number 400 and reference will be made to it in the following description with the notation "support foot 400".
  • the support foot 400 can be connected to an item of furniture to define and adjust an elevation between this item of furniture and a floor and, in combination with other similar support feet 100, define and adjust the support base.
  • the support foot 400 has a stem 410, preferably cylindrical, and an adjusting element 420 equipped with a section greater than the stem 410 and connected to a terminal end of the stem 410 to be placed resting on the floor and adjust the elongation of the support foot 400.
  • the terminal portion of the stem 410 and a seat inside the adjusting element 420 are respectively threaded to adjust the height of the foot through rotation of the adjusting element 420.
  • the object of the present invention is a furnishing component comprising a hooking system for compensating panels, configured to connect a compensating panel 300 to a respective support foot 400.
