FR2756156A1 - Modular frame for furniture - Google Patents

Abstract

The furniture has at least two modular sections (A,B) each formed by a plate (1) fixed to a cheek at each side (2,'). The tables are pierced with at least one hole on each side (3,') in which slides an upright (4,') on each side. Each upright is of the same section and diameter as the holes. Each upright passes vertically through each module to assure the alignment of the assembly. The plate can be pierced with two holes or more on each side to receive the same number of uprights.

Description

 The present invention relates to an assembly device for the rapid assembly and disassembly of modular elements, furniture or other arrangements.

 This type of assembly traditionally, on the one hand, cannot be carried out without the assistance of various fittings involving the use of suitable tools, on the other hand, comprises a determined number of elements, as well as an original fixed height.

 The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.

 I1 is in fact made up of modules each composed of a shelf secured to a cheek on each side; the shelves are pierced with at least one hole on each side into which slide amounts of the same section as the holes thus pass through up and down the different modules placed on top of each other ensuring the rigidity of the assembly.

 According to a preferred and suitable embodiment, the device according to the invention comprises a number x of identical modules, each consisting of a shelf secured to a cheek on each side. The shelves are pierced with a hole on each side of round section. and of the same diameter. These modules rest on an identical module but whose cheeks are of reduced height to serve as a base for all the other modules. The assembly system resides in uprights of the same section and diameter as the holes and which cross along the cheeks and from top to bottom the different modules blocking them relative to each other.This assembly system ensures rigidity, squareness and stability to the whole without the help of any tool and allows you to modify the piece of furniture by adding or removing modules. This device is particularly suitable for making shelves.

According to particular embodiments, the characteristics of the uprights can vary: -de shape: section upright, cylindrical, conical, square,
rectangular, triangular and others.

- of thickness: by specifying that the shape and thickness of the uprights correspond to the shape and thickness of the holes made in the shelf.

-high: with in particular possibility of a height amount
variable by nesting of superimposed elements
the constituent.

-number: from two to n ...

- position: preferential position along the cheeks, possible
-bilted sliding inside the cheeks by
a grooving system of up to
full inclusion in the cheek of the amount and
possibility of sliding outside the cheeks
if the tablet overflows on either side of
play.

- of composition: wood, wood derivatives, plastics, iron,
aluminum and others.

 The characteristics of the cheeks can vary in shape, height, thickness, number, position, composition.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
The device of the invention is represented by two figures: Figure 1, front view and Figure 2, perspective view.

Figures 3 and 4 show in front view and in perspective -tive an appropriate application of the device of the invention.

The device shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a module (A) composed of a shelf (1) of variable length and width, secured to one cheek on each side (2, 2 ') of variable length and width. pierced with a hole on each side (3.3 ') of round section and of variable diameter, in which, by vertical pressure from the user, uprights (4.4') of the same section and diameter as the holes slide along the cheeks of the module (A) and thus blocks it on another module (B) identical to the module (A)
Figures 3 and 4 show a suitable application of the device according to the invention. It comprises five modules (A, B, C, D, E) identical but whose module (E) has cheeks (2,2 ') of a reduced height to serve as a base for all of the other modules. All these modules have their shelves pierced on each side with a cylindrical hole (3.3 ′) of the same diameter, into which once the superimposed modules slide from each side a bar (4,4 ') of the same section and diameter as the holes, which crosses from top to bottom the different modules, ensuring squaring and rigidity to the whole.

 The device according to the invention is particularly suitable for the production of furniture and in particular shelves, and can be made of wood, derived from wood, plastic material iron, aluminum or other materials.
