FURNITURE WITH INTEGRATED LEVELING SYSTEM

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as the title of the present specification establishes, is a furniture with integrated leveling system, which incorporates a remarkable innovation and advantages over the techniques known until now, and which will be described later.

More specifically, the present invention proposes the development of a furniture with integrated leveling system, in such a way that the furniture has a button on each leg so that if the user presses said button it releases the interior with which each leg has , thus causing said shaft to slide down the inside of the leg. When the user releases the button, the axis is fixed at the desired height, thus achieving leveling of the furniture and that it is not lame.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, the present invention is limited within the industry of furniture manufacturing.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The problem and discomfort that furniture “limps” represents is widely known because one of its legs rests on an area of the ground that is not level with the rest.

The common solution that users use is to place a block, or a filler object on the leg of the limping piece of furniture, in order to solve the problem. This solution is not valid since when the user moves the

furniture has to put back the block or the object of filling, which is a great discomfort, and also this solution has the disadvantage that the user has to lift the furniture to place the block, and can run the risk of being caught the fingers.

5 Certain systems are also known that allow to regulate the height of a leg of a piece of furniture by means of a thread system that has the leg at the lower end. This system has the great disadvantage that it is not hygienic that every time the user wants to regulate the height of a leg he has to touch the part of it that is in contact with the ground. In addition, 10 forces the user to have to bend down, which is an inconvenience for the elderly or people with disabilities.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to develop furniture with integrated leveling system to solve the problem presented above.

15 The existence of furniture with an integrated leveling system is currently unknown, which has the same or similar structural and constitutive technical characteristics as those described in this specification, as claimed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

twenty

The object of the present invention is a furniture with integrated leveling system, which provides a remarkable innovation within its field of application, since it provides a novel advantage for the users, being the characterizing details that make it possible conveniently collected in the claims. Finals that accompany this description.

For this, what the invention proposes as explained above is a furniture with integrated leveling system. The furniture has on each of its hollow legs an inner shaft that can slide inside. In turn at the top of the leg there is a button in such a way that

when the user presses said button the inner axis is free, thus allowing it to slide inside the leg. If the button is not pressed, the inner shaft is locked. The locking system has a block preferably made of rubber and a spring, so that when the button is not pressed the spring pushes the rubber block against the inner shaft, acting as a brake and preventing it from moving. When the button is pressed what we do is tighten the spring and make the block is not in contact with the inner shaft, allowing it to move by sliding inside the hollow leg.

That is why the furniture with integrated leveling system of the present invention presents an important innovation with respect to the traditional devices known so far, providing novel solutions to facilitate personal hygiene to bedridden people or with very reduced mobility.

EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

To complete the description that is being made and in order to help the best understanding of the features of the invention, the present specification is attached, as an integral part thereof, of a figure in which it is illustrative and not limiting, the device washes heads for beds has been represented.

Figure 1 corresponds to a general view of the furniture.

Figure 2 corresponds to a view of the locking system.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

In view of the single figure, a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the proposed invention is described below, which consists of furniture with integrated leveling system.

As shown in Figure 1, furniture with integrated leveling system, is essentially formed by a series of legs (2) that have an inner shaft (3) inside, so that it slides through the hollow leg. In turn at the top of each leg (2) there is a button (4). The button (4) activates or 5 deactivates the locking system (5). The locking system (5) is formed by a block (6) preferably made of rubber and a spring (7) such that when the button (4) is pressed the block (6) is no longer in contact with the shaft interior (3) thus allowing it to slide freely, and thus regulate the height that we want said end of the furniture that is in contact with the floor.

Described sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it is stated that, within its essentiality, it may be implemented in other embodiments that differ in detail from what is indicated by way of for example, and to which it will also achieve the protection that is sought, provided that it does not alter, change or modify its fundamental principle.
