Ya se conocen y emplean pies ajustables en altura de este tipo para muebles que requieren, después de su instalación, un apoyo en su parte central cuando comienzan a cargarse de productos. El ajuste en altura de los pies se efectúa para poner estas últimas en contacto con el suelo.They already know and use adjustable feet in height of this type for furniture that require, after its installation, a support in its central part when they begin to be loaded with products The height adjustment of the feet is made to put the latter in contact with the ground.
Para permitir dicho ajuste, los pies de mueble conocidos presentan, en su parte situada en el exterior del mueble, una zona que permite una rotación de la varilla por medio de una llave que debe manejar el operario destinado a efectuar la conexión.To allow such adjustment, the furniture feet known present, in their part located on the outside of the furniture, an area that allows a rotation of the rod by means of a key to be operated by the operator destined to carry out the Connection.
Esta operación de ajuste en altura mediante rotación de las varillas por medio de una llave es difícil de realizar debido a la escasa accesibilidad de los pies bajo las estructuras de los muebles, especialmente en el caso de los pies centrales, es decir situados en la parte central del mueble, donde el intercambiador y los ventiladores impiden asimismo el acceso a los pies por el interior del mueble.This height adjustment operation by Rotation of the rods by means of a wrench is difficult to perform due to poor accessibility of the feet under the furniture structures, especially in the case of feet central, that is to say located in the central part of the furniture, where the exchanger and fans also prevent access to the feet inside the furniture.
La presente invención tiene por objeto proponer una estructura de pie ajustable en altura, que palia el inconveniente que se acaba de enunciar y que es tanto más grave cuanto que el ajuste en altura durante el equilibrado del mueble frigorífico representa un tiempo importante en volumen de horas, con relación al tiempo total necesario para la instalación del mueble.The present invention aims to propose a height-adjustable foot structure, which palliates the inconvenience just stated and that is all the more serious as the height adjustment during furniture balancing refrigerator represents an important time in volume of hours, with relation to the total time required for the installation of the piece of furniture.
Para alcanzar dicho objetivo, un pie ajustable en altura según la invención se caracteriza porque está dotado de un dispositivo de mando a distancia de la rotación relativa de la varilla dentro del órgano mencionado de rosca interna.To achieve this goal, an adjustable foot in height according to the invention is characterized in that it is provided with a remote control device of the relative rotation of the rod inside the mentioned internal thread organ.
Según una característica de la invención, dicho órgano está realizado en forma de una tuerca que se monta giratoria en una parte fija del mueble, pero sin poder desplazarse axialmente, y porque la tuerca está dotada de medios para su rotación a distancia.According to a feature of the invention, said organ is made in the form of a nut that is mounted swivel in a fixed part of the furniture, but unable to move axially, and because the nut is equipped with means for its rotation to distance.
Según otra característica de la invención, los medios de rotación a distancia de la tuerca están formados por un elemento flexible filiforme, del que por lo menos un extremo es accesible desde el exterior del mueble y que está enrollado por otra parte en la cara exterior de la tuerca, de manera que una fuerza de tracción ejercida sobre el extremo accesible accione la rotación de la tuerca alrededor de su eje.According to another feature of the invention, the remote rotation means of the nut are formed by a flexible filiform element, of which at least one end is accessible from outside the furniture and that is rolled by another part on the outer face of the nut, so that a force of traction exerted on the accessible end drive the rotation of the nut around its axis.

A continuación se describe la invención en su aplicación a un mueble frigorífico como el representado de manera esquemática en la figura 1. Dicho mueble, del tipo vertical, incluye, de manera conocida en sí, una estructura de pared posterior 1, un tejado 2, una cuba 3 en la que está dispuesta una unidad de refrigeración 4, así como una pluralidad de bandejas o estanterías 5 de exposición de los productos (no representados) a proteger. Dichas bandejas son soportadas por la estructura de la pared posterior 1. Para proteger los productos, el mueble está dotado de una cortina de aire frío establecida en la parte anterior del mueble, entre el tejado 2 y la cuba 3. El origen del aire de la cortina se representa en 7. Este mueble, de un tamaño y un peso importantes, toma apoyo en el suelo por medio de una pluralidad de pies 9 que son ajustables en altura.The invention is described below in its application to a refrigerator as represented schematic in figure 1. Said furniture, of the vertical type, includes, in a manner known per se, a rear wall structure 1, a roof 2, a tank 3 in which a unit of refrigeration 4, as well as a plurality of trays or shelves 5 of exposure of the products (not represented) to be protected. These trays are supported by the structure of the rear wall 1. To protect the products, the furniture is equipped with a curtain of cold air established in the front part of the furniture, between the roof 2 and tank 3. The origin of the curtain air is represented at 7. This piece of furniture, of an important size and weight, takes support in the ground by means of a plurality of feet 9 that are adjustable in height.
Por supuesto, está previsto un par de pies en cada extremo longitudinal del mueble. Además, debido al tamaño y al peso importante del mueble, está dispuesto por lo menos otro par de pies 9 entre ambos extremos, en su caso en la parte central del mueble. En la figura 2, y con mayor detalle en las figuras 3 a 5, se indica un par de dichos pies difícilmente o en absoluto accesibles desde la parte anterior del mueble.Of course, a couple of feet is planned in each longitudinal end of the furniture. In addition, due to size and significant weight of the furniture, at least another pair of 9 feet between both ends, where appropriate in the central part of the piece of furniture. In Figure 2, and in greater detail in Figures 3 to 5, indicates a pair of said feet hard or not at all accessible from the front of the furniture.
Con referencia a dichas figuras, se comprueba que un pie 9 ajustable de la invención incluye esencialmente una varilla roscada 11 de la que un extremo incluye una parte que forma una cabeza 13 que constituye el órgano que toma apoyo en el suelo indicado en 15. La varilla 11 es incorporada en el interior de la base 17 del mueble. La varilla 11 lleva adjunto un órgano que forma una tuerca 19 cuya rosca es complementaria de la rosca de la varilla 10, de manera que un movimiento de rotación relativo de la varilla en la tuerca 19 ocasiona un desplazamiento axial de la varilla y, por lo tanto, de la cabeza de apoyo 13 del pie con relación a la tuerca. Dicha tuerca está dispuesta en el interior de una jaula 21 que es solidaria de una placa de fondo 23 de la base 17 del mueble. La jaula 21 está configurada de manera a permitir la rotación de la tuerca 19, pero impide cualquier movimiento lateral en traslación de la tuerca, es decir en dirección al eje de la varilla, con relación a la base 17.With reference to these figures, it is checked that an adjustable foot 9 of the invention essentially includes a threaded rod 11 of which one end includes a part that forms a head 13 that constitutes the organ that takes support on the ground indicated in 15. The rod 11 is incorporated into the interior of the base 17 of the furniture. The rod 11 has attached an organ that forms a nut 19 whose thread is complementary to the rod thread 10, so that a relative rotation movement of the rod in nut 19 it causes an axial displacement of the rod and, therefore, of the support head 13 of the foot in relation to the nut. Said nut is arranged inside a cage 21 which is integral with a bottom plate 23 of the base 17 of the furniture. The cage 21 is configured to allow rotation of the nut 19, but prevents any lateral movement in translation of the nut, that is in the direction of the rod axis, in relation to to base 17.
Según una característica básica de la invención, la superficie exterior periférica de la tuerca está configurada en superficie del bobinado 23, que permite el enrollamiento en dicha superficie de un elemento filiforme, es decir un hilo metálico o de plástico 25. El tramo enrollado 24 del hilo 25 está fijado por un extremo a la tuerca 19, mientras que su otro extremo continúa mediante un tramo no enrollado, representado en las figuras como rectilíneo y designado mediante la referencia 27, conducido a la parte anterior del mueble y terminado por un tramo de prensión 29 en forma de ojal.According to a basic feature of the invention, the outer peripheral surface of the nut is set to winding surface 23, which allows the winding in said surface of a filiform element, that is to say a metallic thread or plastic 25. The wound section 24 of the thread 25 is fixed by a end to nut 19, while its other end continues by a non-rolled section, represented in the figures as rectilinear and designated by reference 27, led to the front part of the furniture and finished by a stretch of grip 29 in eyelet shape.
Se entiende con facilidad que, ejerciendo una fuerza de tracción en la dirección de la flecha F, el hilo 25 arrastre en rotación la tuerca 19. Dado que ésta no puede desplazarse axialmente dentro de su jaula 21, su movimiento de rotación implica un desplazamiento axial de la varilla 11 y, por lo tanto, de la cabeza de apoyo 13, lo que modifica la posición en altura del mueble.It is easily understood that, exercising a tensile force in the direction of arrow F, thread 25 drag nut 19 in rotation. Since it cannot move axially inside its cage 21, its movement of rotation implies an axial displacement of the rod 11 and, therefore both, of the support head 13, which modifies the position in furniture height
Por lo tanto, un pie 9 según la invención puede ajustarse en altura gracias a un dispositivo de ajuste accionable a distancia, ventajosamente desde la parte anterior del mueble.Therefore, a foot 9 according to the invention can adjust in height thanks to an adjustment device operable to distance, advantageously from the front of the furniture.
El dispositivo de ajuste de la invención permite, después de la instalación del mueble, que reposa sobre el suelo mediante pies situados en los extremos del mueble, cuando se empieza a cargarlo de productos, "descender" los pies hasta que entran en contacto con el suelo.The adjustment device of the invention allows, after the installation of the furniture, to rest on the floor by feet located at the ends of the furniture, when start loading products, "lower" the feet until They come in contact with the ground.
Por supuesto, se podría plantear el desplazamiento hacia la parte anterior del mueble de los dos extremos del hilo 25, lo que permitiría el arrastre en rotación de la tuerca en ambos sentidos, con la condición por supuesto, de procurar que el hilo no se deslice sobre la tuerca.Of course, you could consider the displacement towards the front of the furniture of the two ends of the thread 25, which would allow the drag in rotation of the nut in both directions, with the condition of course, of ensure that the thread does not slide over the nut.
