Abstract

The hanger for adjustable wall-mounting of furniture is aimed at mounting wall furniture to the wall, while providing simple and precise three-dimensional adjustment of its position and thus compensation of irregularities of the holes for the fastening screws as well as wall smoothness. The hanger according to the invention consists of two basic parts: a wall part (1), steadfastly attached to the wall (4) and a furniture part (2), steadfastly attached to the furniture (3) along the external back so that it does not interfere with it and does not affect its interior. With the help of (at least) two furniture parts (2) the wall furniture can be attached to the corresponding wall parts (1) thus attaching furniture to the required location on the wall. The furniture part (2) includes a mechanism which enables a fine adjustment of its position and thus the position against the wall part (1) in the vertical direction as well as the direction perpendicular to the wall (3). The fine adjustment in the horizontal direction is provided by hanging the furniture part (2) to the wall part (1) hung movably in the horizontal direction.

Description

HANGER FOR ADJUSTABLE FITTING OF THE FURNITURE, IN PARTICULAR HIGHER, ON THE WALL AND PROCEDURE OF HANGING THE FURNITURE TO IT

The object of the invention is a hanger that serves to fasten furniture, especially hanging furniture, e.g. hanging kitchen elements on the walls. For this purpose, different versions of fasteners or hangers are used, and all of them have a screw, screwed into the wall or. more precisely into a plastic material insert plugged into a hole made in the wall. When installing said wall furniture, it is therefore necessary to first drill a sufficient number of holes into the wall, into which said plastic inserts are then inserted. Because drilling is generally done with manual electric drill bits, the accuracy of the positioning of the holes is problematic, since the drill bit can easily fall by a few millimeters during drilling. The consequence of such inaccuracy is that the wall furniture elements are mounted inaccurately, both in terms of horizontal, as well as in terms of lateral and lateral alignment. Due to these problems, fasteners have been introduced on the market to compensate for a certain degree of inaccuracy in the holes for plastic inserts. One such element is the furniture mounting bracket according to patent SE 408451 (Applicant IKEA SVENSKA AB, inventor of VEberg B.). However, most existing fasteners cannot compensate for the unevenness of the wall surface to which the furniture is fastened, so these elements do not allow the furniture to be adjusted in a direction perpendicular to the wall. Those who do, however, have complicated designs that are aesthetically pleasing, take up a great deal of space, and are expensive as such.

According to the invention, the hanger for fixing the furniture to the walls eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages, thus compensating for the inaccuracies of the holes for the fastening screws as well as the unevenness of the wall surface (three-dimensional, hereinafter referred to as 3D, adjusting the position of the furniture), which makes it compact in comparison. with existing hangers of significantly smaller dimensions, so that it is completely hidden between the furniture and the wall and does not interfere with the aesthetic appearance of the furniture. In addition, the 3D positioning of the furniture and its attachment to the wall are very easy and precise in a simple way.

The invention will be described in more detail in the embodiment and shown in the drawings showing:

The hanger according to the invention for adjustable mounting of furniture to the walls consists of two basic parts: a wall part (1) fixed to the wall (4) and a furniture part (2) fixed to the furniture (3), on the outside of its the back wall so that it does not interfere with or interfere with its interior. Using (at least) two pieces of furniture (2), we hang the wall furniture to the corresponding wall pieces (1) and secure it to the desired place on the wall. The furniture part (2) contains a mechanism which allows fine adjustment of its position - and thus the position of the furniture - against the wall part (1) in the vertical direction and in the direction perpendicular to the wall (3). Fine adjustment in the horizontal direction is made possible by hanging the furniture part (2) on the wall part (1) in a horizontal direction.

The wall part (1) is made of two sheets, side by side: the front panels (1.1) and the rear panels (1.2). The wall part (1) is fixed to the wall (3), preferably screwed so that the rear sheet (1.2) is placed flat against the wall. The front plate (1.1) has a vertically oriented groove (5) in its central part extending from the upper end to the upper edge (1.1.1) of the wall portion (1) and extending into the horizontal groove (6) with rounded ends with the lower end. (6.1) and (6.2). It is important that said sheets are spaced slightly apart at a few millimeters (3 mm in size), thus creating gaps (10) between them, which can be done in various ways, but most preferably by the front plate (1.1) is convex in this part. A shelf (9) is made below the horizontal groove (6) and parallel to its lower edge at the rear of the front sheet (1.1).

Fine adjustment of the position of the wall furniture in a vertical direction is enabled by the eccentric (7). The eccentric, preferably made of sheet steel, is rotatably mounted around the geometric axis (8) to the furniture part (2), which is attached to the back of the hanging cabinet, respectively. more precisely at one of its two upper corners, with another such element attached to the adjacent upper corner (as previously stated, two hangers according to the invention are required to secure one piece of suspended furniture). Attach the hanging cabinet to the wall by hanging it with the respective eccentric (7) on the appropriate hanger, which is attached to the appropriate place on the wall. The eccentric (7) thus falls into said slot (10) and drops down to the shelf (9) on which it rests and through which the weight of the wall furniture is transferred to the hanger. In this case, the vertical groove (5) allows passage of the spindle (11) of the eccentric (7), which is pivotally fixed in the furniture part (2). Twisting the spindle (11) and thus the eccentric (7) causes the furniture part (2) and the cabinet to be moved in the vertical direction, with the maximum displacement being equal to twice the eccentricity value (e). Twisting of the spindle (11) is easiest with the Allen wrench. For this purpose, the spindle (11) has a hexagonal cavity (11.1) at its free end (i.e., the end not connected to the eccentric (7)).

The fine adjustment of the position of the wall furniture in a horizontal direction parallel to the wall to which the furniture is attached allows the groove (6) on the front panel (1.1) of the hanger (1). Namely, the furniture part (2) can be moved freely along the entire groove mentioned, with the eccentric (7) sliding on the shelf (9), as already mentioned. In order that the groove (6) does not restrict the vertical adjustment described, its width, that is, the dimension in the vertical direction, is equal to or greater than the sum of the diameter of the spindle (11) and the maximum possible stroke in the vertical adjustment.

In order to allow fine adjustment of the position of the furniture also in the direction perpendicular to the wall, which compensates for its unevenness, the spindle (11) and with it the eccentric (7) move in the said direction towards the furniture part (2). To this end, the spindle (11) at its free end has an outer thread (11.2) which is screwed into the cylindrical nut (12). It is rotatably inserted between the sheets (13 and 14) forming the furniture part (2). Unlike standard nuts, the thread length (L) of the nut (12) is smaller than the height of the nut (H), so the thread (12.1) does not pass through the entire nut, and by the expiry of said thread the cavity passes from a circular cross section to the shape of the regular n- a hexagon, preferably a hexagon (12.2) whose height (S) is smaller than the minimum thread diameter (12.1). In this way, the depth of twist of the spindle (11) into the nut (12) is limited by the length (L) of the thread (12.1). Said hexagon nuts is used to use the Allen wrench to twist the nuts (12) to tighten or tighten the nuts. unscrews the spindle (11), which causes the drift cabinet to move towards the wall or. moving away from it, depending on the direction of rotation of the spindle, ie fine-tuning its position in the direction perpendicular to the wall.

In addition to fine-tuning the position of the wall furniture, the device according to the invention also offers the possibility of fixing the position of the furniture. Due to the fact that the exciter (7) can slide freely on the shelf (9) along the entire groove (6), the furniture must be fixed in the desired position after the fine adjustment of its position in the horizontal and vertical direction. To achieve this, the spindle (11) is hollow, and an internal thread (16) is provided in its cavity, into which a threaded pin (15) is wound. The latter has its end in the direction of the wall to which the wall furniture is attached, shaped into a sharp tip (15.1). The said fixing is carried out by screwing the threaded pin (15) against the back wall (1.2) of the hanger (1), so that it can be pressed firmly with the tip (15.1) or even slightly inserted into it.

The process of hanging wall furniture and fine-tuning its position using the device according to the invention is as follows:

1. Attach the wall part (1) to the wall and the furniture part (2) of the device according to the invention to the outside of the back wall of the cabinet to be mounted on the wall. The wall part (1) must be oriented with the back plate (1.2) towards the wall and the mouth of the groove (5) facing upwards. The furniture part (2), in which the spindle (11) with the eccentric (7) is already inserted, is oriented with the eccentric against the wall or. against the wall part (1). It is logical that two or more devices according to the invention are used for each furniture element, but the procedure, which is identical for each of them, will be described for the sake of simplicity only for one piece.

2. Hang the furniture element so that the eccentric (7) sits in the groove (5).

3. Fine adjustment of the furniture position in the vertical direction: Proceed by twisting the eccentric (7), with the furniture lifting or lowering until the desired height is reached.

4. To fine-tune the position of the furniture in the horizontal direction, parallel to the wall, by simply moving it in the desired position in this direction. The spindle (11) moves in a horizontal groove (6) and the eccentric (7) slides on the shelf (9).

5. When the furniture occupies the desired position as described in points 3 and 4, it must be fixed in this position, otherwise it could move horizontally along the wall along the entire length of the horizontal groove (6). The fixing is carried out by means of a threaded pin (15) by screwing it to the rear plate 1.2 of the hanger (1), the pin (15) with the tip (15.1) being slightly inserted into said sheet, thus preventing the furniture part (2) from moving in parallel with the sheet (1.2) and thus moving the furniture parallel to the wall.

6. Fine adjustment of the distance of the furniture from the wall: It is made by twisting the nut (12), which in its preferred embodiment requires an Allen key.

All operations described in points 3 to 6 are performed from the inside of the furniture through a hole in its back wall. As mentioned above, the furniture part (2) is attached to the outside of the back wall of the furniture, so that only a hole of 10 mm diameter is visible on the inside of the back wall, allowing access, otherwise the interior of the furniture is thus visually as well as physically completely intact, the device according to the invention, in addition to providing a very precise and easy 3D adjustment of the position of the furniture, also contributes to its better aesthetic appearance.
