Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for the assembly of wall panels, in particular panels with a vertical development.
  • the document DE202015008489 discloses a modular wall comprising at least one wall panel for attachment to a support system, the support system being attachable, directly or indirectly, to a wall of a room, building or rack, the support system being able to accommodate any number of wall panels.
  • the wall panels (2, 2a, 2b, 2n) can be suspended from the support system and detachably fastened.
  • the document US2001/011443 discloses a method for fastening a building board to the framework of a building.
  • a building board having a flat plate-like configuration and provided on the rear surface thereof with engaging protrusions and an elongated fixture which is adapted to be detachably engaged with the building board are employed, and the building board is assembled in advance together with the elongated fixture through an engagement between the engaging protrusions and the elongated fixture, and then the elongated fixture is fixed to the framework of a building, thereby fastening the building board to the framework of a building.
  • An extremely simple system is to arrange one or more wall supporting bars to which the wall panels should be hung. If, on the one hand, it is a simple and rapid system, on the other, it does not allow any kind of adj ustment and requires extreme precision in placing both the bar and the hooks on the rear wall of the panels .
  • Adjustable anchoring devices have been proposed in order to overcome these assembly drawbacks and difficulties which require precision and lengthy times for measuring, tests and installation.
  • Devices are also known, in some ways similar, which allow a plurality of adj ustments but which can only be used in the case of walls of wall cupboards intended to be hung on a wall . Said devices , in fact, cannot be used with panels intended to be mounted visibly on walls , as for example in the case of panels destined for producing "boiseries " .
  • the general objective of the present invention is therefore to provide a system for the assembly of wall panels, in particular panels with a vertical development, capable of solving the above-mentioned drawbacks of the known art, in an extremely simple, economical and particularly functional manner.
  • a further objective of the present invention is to provide a system for the assembly of wall panels, in particular panels with a vertical development, which is extremely functional and simple, without visible holes for positioning on the wall.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a system for the assembly of wall panels, in particular panels with a vertical development, in which it is extremely simple to obtain a perfect alignment between adjacent vertical panels.
  • Yet another objective of the invention is to provide a system for the assembly of wall panels, in particular panels with a vertical development, which can also be used in th of walls that are not perfectly vertical and smooth, even having an almost wavy pattern or having surface humps .
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views illustrating an upright to be used in a system for the assembly of wall panels, in particular panels with a vertical development, when the upright is positioned according to two different arrangements, i.e. it is in embodiments different from each other inverted;
  • FIG. 3 and 4 are two perspective views of enlarged details of figure 1 ;
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 are two perspective views of two successive fixing sequences of a system for the assembly of wall panels, in particular panels with a vertical development, with the uprights positioned according to figure 1 ;
  • figure 7 is a perspective view of a wall in which the panels are positioned and aligned using the system of the present invention in any of its embodiments shown;
  • figures 8, 9 and 10 are raised sectional views illustrating an enlarged detail of the system according to the embodiment of figure 1, in three subsequent positioning phases in the area close to a floor or supporting surface;
  • figures 11, 12 and 13 are raised sectional views illustrating a detail of the system according to the embodiment of figure 2, in three subsequent positioning phases also in the area close to a floor or supporting surface;
  • FIGS 14, 15 and 16 are cross-sectional plan views from above of three embodiments of the upright used in the system of the invention.
  • FIGS. 17 and 18 are enlarged sections showing, the first with elements exploded with respect to each other and the second in an operative assembled position, how a first embodiment of a screw is positioned on the rear wall of the panel, not visible, in a system according to the present invention
  • FIG. 19 and 20 are enlarged sections showing, the first with elements exploded with respect to each other and the second in an operative, assembled position, how a second embodiment of a screw is positioned on the rear wall of the panel, not visible, in a system according to the present invention.
  • figures 1 and 2 show how a single upright can be positioned according to two different arrangements .
  • a single upright 12 has a certain number of pairs of slots 13, spaced from each other in a vertical direction.
  • the upright 12 also provides fixing elements of the upright 12 to a vertical wall PV and a lower levelling group of the upright GLM.
  • At least two uprights 12 spaced from each other must be provided for the assembly of a single panel 11.
  • This arrangement is also almost identically used for a second positioning or embodiment shown in figure 2.
  • single slots 13 can be provided, spaced from each other in a vertical direction for each upright 12.
  • each slot 13 provides a narrow extension or slit 14 in a vertical direction of the upright 12 which, in the first form is positioned vertically above the slot 13 with respect to a floor P.
  • the slots 13 In an inverted manner according to the arrows F in the second form of figure 2 , the slots 13 have narrow extensions or slits 14 ' in a vertical direction which, this time, are positioned vertically below each slot 13, with respect to a floor P.
  • the levelling group GLM is positioned at a lower end of the upright 12, the group comprising a plate 15, integrally fixed inside the upright 12.
  • the plate 15 provides a threaded hole 16 into which it is screwed, with an adjustable position, a threaded rod 17 of a foot 18. It is evident how this levelling group GLM can be assembled after selecting the orientation of the single upright 12 according to one of the two embodiments of figure 1 or 2.
  • each upright 12 provides a housing 21 suitable for receiving a spacer 22.
  • This spacer 22, of the tubular type for example, has a threaded outer surface 23 which is housed in a complementary threaded hole 24 positioned in the housing 21 of the upright 12.
  • each panel with a vertical development 11 provides a series of supporting pins 25, 25' on its rear surface 26, facing the uprights 12 and the vertical wall PV. Said supporting pins 25, 25' protrude from said rear surface and are housed in the slots 13 and/or extensions or slits 14, 14' of the upright 12.
  • Each panel with a vertical development 11 also provides, in one of its lower ends, levelling groups of the panel GLP which allow an adjustment of its position in a vertical direction.
  • the levelling groups of the panel GLP advantageously act to find a stable housing of the supporting pins 25, 25' in the narrow extensions or slits 14, 14' of the uprights 12. In this way, the panels with a vertical development 11 are firmly blocked in a suspended position on the vertical wall .
  • Figure 5 shows how the uprights are positioned with respect to the vertical wall PV, spaced from each other according to a measurement slightly less than that of the panels 11 to be positioned on the same .
  • each upright 12 of a pair of slots 13 and relative extensions or slits 14 spaced apart, allows , for each upright 12 , the positioning of facing ends of two adj acent panels 11 , as can be clearly seen in figures 6 and 7.
  • Figure 6 in particular, shows how the supporting pins 25, 25' , protruding from the rear surface 26 of the single panel 11 , are engaged .
  • FIGS 8 to 10 show the stable positioning of a panel 12 with respect to the vertical wall PV or to the uprights 12 fixed to the same . These figures relate to the first arrangement or embodiment of the upright 12. As previously indicated, in fact, in the upright 12 , each eyelet 13 provides for the narrow extension or slit 14 to be in a vertical direction of the upright 12 , positioned vertically above the same slot 13 with respect to the floor P.
  • Figure 9 shows how the head of the pin 25 is inserted in the slot 13 (see specific detail ) so that the panel 11 is in contact with the outer surface of the uprights 12.
  • Figure 10 shows how the upward ascent of the panel 11 according to the arrow T is promoted by operating on the levelling group of the panel GLP by means of a specific tool UT, such as an Allen key .
  • Said tool UT can be introduced through a small hole 0 formed in the lower part of the panel 11.
  • each slot 13 in the upright 12 provides that the narrow extension or slit 14 be in a vertical direction of the upright 12 , positioned vertically below the same slot 13 with respect to the floor P.
  • the panel 11 carrying its supporting pins 25 (or 25' ) , protruding from the rear surface 26, is j uxtaposed towards the uprights 12 according to the arrow H of figure 11 bringing the head of the pin 25 towards the slot 13.
  • Figure 12 shows how the head of the pin 25 is inserted in the slot 13 (see specific detail ) so that the panel 11 comes into contact with the outer surface of the uprights 12.
  • the subsequent figure 13 shows how, by acting on the levelling group of the panel GLP using a specific tool UT, such as an Allen key, the downward descent of the panel 11 is promoted following the arrow S. In this way, the head of the pin 25, up until that moment positioned in the slot 13, moves into the narrow extension or slit 14. It has already been said and seen, in fact, that this narrow extension or slit 14 is formed in a vertical direction in the upright 12 , vertically below the slot 13 with respect to the floor P.
  • a specific tool UT such as an Allen key
  • the head of the pin 25 thus remains blocked in the slit 14 , consequently blocking the panel 11 with respect to the uprights 12.
  • the respective levelling group GLM is then assembled .
  • Figures 14 , 15 and 16 also show cross-sections in a plan view from above of three embodiments of upright used in the system of the invention .
  • Figure 14 shows an upright 12 with rectangular section and open profile with a housing 21 suitable for receiving the spacer 22.
  • Figure 15 shows an upright 12 with a flattened omega-shaped section, also provided with the housing 21 suitable for receiving the spacer 22.
  • Figure 16 shows an upright 12 with a rectangular section and closed profile with a housing 21 suitable for receiving the spacer 22.
  • the presence of the spacer 22 allows an adjustment in depth of the upright to be effected, adapting the position of the upright to a specific distance required by the vertical wall PV.
  • This adjustment is effected using a tool such as that previously indicated with UT and acting on the same spacer so as to cause the movement of the upright 12 towards or away from the vertical wall PV.
  • FIGS 17 and 18 illustrate a first of the possible embodiments of supporting pins of the panel 11 protruding from the rear surface of the same panel.
  • the pin 25 comprises a screw 27 with an enlarged head 30 that can be positioned in a bush 28 internally threaded in 29.
  • the bush 28 is positioned in a blind hole 31 formed in the rear surface 26 of the panel 11 of the system.
  • the screw 27 also provides an annular collar 32 having a width equal to that of the thickness of a wall of the upright 12.
  • said collar 32 defines, together with an annular projection 33 of the bush 28, a housing L for both the slot 13 and for its extension or slit 14, blocking the upright 12.
  • the pin 25' consists of a screw in a single piece which is positioned in a blind hole 31 formed in the rear surface 26 of the panel 11 of the system. In this case, it is directly the screw 25' that provides a lowered annular collar 32 having a width L substantially equal to that of the thickness of the wall of the upright 12.
  • a system for the assembly of wall panels, in particular panels with a vertical development, according to the present invention is extremely functional and simple, and above all lacks the numerous visible holes required for inserting the panel in the systems so far known .
  • a system is obtained for the assembly of wall panels, in particular panels with a vertical development, in which a perfect alignment between adjacent vertical panels can be easily obtained thanks to the provision of numerous adjustment arrangements. It has been seen that it is possible to adj ust the uprights both horizontally and vertically and also to adj ust the depth of the same with respect to the vertica1 wall on which they are arranged .
