Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a versatile support structure to make a furnishing component, such as a door or a panel, for wardrobes, sideboards, furniture pieces, closets, or suchlike. It is not excluded, however, that the present invention can also be used to make partition walls, door or window frames, shutters, shower stalls, or other.
  • the present invention also concerns the corresponding method to make a furnishing component.
  • Support structures to make furnishing components are known, such as panels or doors, generally defined by a frame, with a frame shape to which a panel is attached.
  • the frame is usually defined by the connection of profiled elements with oblong development and connected to each other.
  • Hinging and/or sliding elements are also associated with the support structure so the furnishing component can rotate around them and allow the panel to be opened/closed.
  • the panel is also provided with a gripping portion, which in some known solutions can be made along the entire longitudinal development of one edge of the panel. Solutions are known, for example, in which one of the profiled elements defining the support structure of the panel is suitably shaped so as to define the gripping portion.
  • the different positioning possibility, and the different configuration of the gripping portion therefore, require a manufacturer of panels to have available, on each occasion, a plurality of types of profiled elements that can be adapted, on each occasion, to the specific application requirements.
  • One purpose of the present invention is to provide a support structure for a furnishing component which is simple and economical to make.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a support structure for a furnishing component which can be adapted to a large number of configurations.
  • Another purpose is to perfect a method to produce a support structure that is easy and quick to carry out.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to provide support structures in which one or more flaps of the support structure are not visible following the application of the covering panel.
  • the Applicant has devised, tested and embodied the present invention to overcome the shortcomings of the state of the art and to obtain these and other purposes and advantages.
  • a support structure for a furnishing component comprises a first frame, with a frame shape and defined by first profiled elements connected to each other.
  • the first profiled elements are provided, in one of their walls that is internal during use, with at least a first longitudinal seating and with at least a second longitudinal seating distanced from each other in a direction transverse to the oblong development of the first profiled element.
  • the support structure comprises a second frame, connected to the first frame and comprising, in its turn, at least a second substantially plate-shaped profiled element and provided with a first surface positioned resting on at least part of the wall of the first profiled element and a second surface, opposite the first surface, on which a covering panel can be positioned.
  • At least a protruding portion is made in the first surface which can be positioned, alternatively, in a first position in which the protruding portion is disposed in the first longitudinal seating, or in a second position in which the protruding portion is disposed in the second longitudinal seating and part of the first surface defines a gripping portion for a user.
  • the second plate-shaped profiled element thanks to its particular conformation and to the particular conformation of the longitudinal seatings of the first profiled elements, can perform, as well as a function of containing the covering panel, also a gripping function, on one or more of the lateral edges of the support structure. Furthermore, the positioning of the protruding portion of the second profiled element in the first seating or in the second longitudinal seating of the first profiled element allows to position the gripping portion in a more or less protruding condition with respect to the first frame, thus obtaining a different application configuration.
  • support structures which are interchangeable and can be adapted to various requirements of shape, color, and/or material, even during production.
  • the support structures are also easy and quick to replace.
  • the second profiled element can be provided with a folded flap intended to cover, at least partly, a perimeter edge of the covering panel.
  • Embodiments of the present invention also concern a furnishing component comprising a support structure as described above and a covering panel connected to the support structure and positioned resting on the first surface of the first profiled elements.
  • Embodiments of the present invention also concern a method to make a versatile support structure as described above.
