Description

Furniture for video equipment.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a piece of furniture that It has been specially designed for its implementation in a video equipment of those used domestically, specifically a team consisting of a screen TV flat, and a pair of players / recorders, such as a magnetoscope, a DVD player, a video console, etc., with its Accessories such as remote controls.

The object of the invention is to achieve a piece of furniture that in addition to supporting and protecting the elements previously cited, determine a minimum occupancy of space in the passenger compartment in which it is installed.

Background of the invention

As is known, it is common at the domestic level have a television assisted by a video or magnetoscope, as well as for a DVD player, forming a video team that It is usually grouped in a piece of furniture, sometimes open frontally and in others closed.

Usually furniture of this type has a superior platform for setting up the television, and a series of superimposed receptacles, delimited by shelves or shelves, so that on each of them one of the aforementioned devices, in the classic position horizontal.

At present, the use of flat screen televisions, whose volumetry is considerably less than that of conventional televisions provided with a cathode ray tube, which is in principle a drastic reduction in terms of space occupation of said devices, but nevertheless in practice this results not very effective because the furniture on which they are arranged must continue to have the classic dimensions, when said television is assisted by the devices mentioned with anteriority.

The progressive rising cost of the soil and the Parallel construction cost, makes housing are increasingly smaller, so that on many occasions the up to date essential use of this type of furniture for video installations, it implies the occupation of a space which is vital for other uses and that in any case would be desirable to reduce.

Description of the invention

The furniture proposed by the invention has been conceived and structured in order to solve this problem of occupation of space, so that giving the same service as a conventional furniture of the aforementioned, reduces their dimensions in depth, which are the most important since the point of view of use of available space, in a magnitude that can be encrypted greater than 75%.

For this and more specifically the furniture that it is recommended it is constituted by a prismatic body rectangular, considerably flattened in the direction anteroposterior, specifically with a depth slightly higher than the height level that the current videos and DVD players, said body being compartmentalized by transverse and fixed shelves, to each of which hingedly joins a door that closes the compartment immediately above said shelf, being once the dimensions of said door are significantly greater than perimeter in plan of the mentioned devices.

Each of these doors incorporates in which it has If your inner face is in a closed situation, fittings for fixing one of the aforementioned devices, so that said apparatus adopts a vertical arrangement when the corresponding door is closed, and a horizontal layout when it is open, thanks to the existence for each of the doors of opening means 90 °, such as chains laterals, articulated arms, etc.

These shelves are equipped with at least one hole near its posterior or internal edge, dimensionally suitable to allow the passage of the plug plugs for the power of the different devices, and for interconnection signal between them, being able to count on reeds to pass said cables.

Preferably the furniture will be provided with two doors for receiving and fixing two devices, although this figure is not at all limiting and can usually incorporate a lower door, of considerably smaller height, intended for house a multi-plug base for different devices team participants

Logically the use of a television set flat screen allows to arrange it on the upper base of the furniture, despite the small dimensions of the latter.

This way you get a piece of furniture extraordinarily flattened, which occupies a minimum space in the floor of the cabin in which it is housed, and how it only requires the momentary tilting of some of its doors in those moments in which it is necessary to make any direct manipulation of the devices that participate in the equipment, such as turning them on / off, the insertion / removal of a disc or tape, etc.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a piece of furniture for video equipment made in accordance with the object of the present invention, which appears in a situation of Close and support a flat screen TV.

Figure 2.- Shows another perspective view of the furniture of the previous figure, now with all its doors open.

Figure 3.- Shows an enlarged detail of the previous figure, in which some details are observed in greater detail building elements of the furniture.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the furniture that is recommended presents a body prismatic-rectangular (1), considerably flattened anteroposteriorly and noticeably  elongated vertically, open frontally, in which through a pair of fixed and intermediate shelves (2) are established three superimposed compartments, one upper (4) another intermediate (5) and a lower one (6), assisted by corresponding doors (7), (8) and (9), with the particularity that each door (7) is related to the corresponding shelf (2) through its edge bottom and with the collaboration of hinges (10) that allow for said doors a tilting of 90º, between the limit situation of closure shown in figure 1 and the opening limit situation shown in figure 2, the latter also determined by chains lateral (11), articulated plates or any other system conventional that not only limits the opening of the door, but that also be able to support the weight to be applied to each of them.

As a complement to the structure described, the Doors (7) and (8) incorporate hardware (12) on their inner face that they allow the solid fixation to them, of a DVD (13) in the case of the upper door and of a magnetoscope (14) in the case of the lower door, although obviously the arrangement of these devices it can be inverted or such devices can be replaced by any others deemed convenient.

The dating shelves (2) incorporate in correspondence with its trailing edge and preferably in centered arrangement, a wide hole (15) that allows the passage of both power supply cables of the different devices like interconnection between them, finishing off the plug plugs of said power cables in the  lower compartment (6), of considerably smaller height and intended for the location of a multiple plug base (16) that allow simultaneous feeding of all the mentioned devices, including the flat screen TV (17) intended for be located on the upper base (18) of the furniture.

The body (1) may rest on the ground to through legs (19) or a socket, depending on the line of design intended for furniture, in the same way as doors (7), (8) and (9) will be equipped with knobs (20) that allow opening them against the weight of the devices that they tend to keep them stable in the closing situation, knobs also variable configuration depending on the design line chosen, and in any case and given the small dimensions in furniture depth, this will be fixed to the wall to prevent when your doors are open, as shown in figure 2, you can occur a frontal tilting of the same, with the consequent fall to the ground, by displacement in this sense of the center of gravity of the set

Also for stability reasons, the socket of the flat screen TV (17) will preferably be fixed to the upper base (18) of the furniture.
