Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assemblable drawer for furniture and a method for its assembly.
  • front connectors and corner connectors respectively are used, which have parts for coupling which can be inserted in corresponding end openings of the rear and side walls so as to enable a simple and rapid assembly of the parts that make up the drawer.
  • an object of the present invention is to devise an assemblable drawer for furniture that can be assembled in a simple and rapid manner.
  • Another object of the present invention is to devise an assemblable drawer for furniture that is highly reliable, easily and practically implemented and low cost.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an assemblable drawer according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a partially exploded perspective view of the assemblable drawer in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the drawer in FIGS. 1 and 2 ;
  • FIG. 4 is a detailed perspective view of a corner coupling element of the drawer according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a detailed perspective view of a further, front coupling element of the drawer according to the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the coupling of two corner elements of the drawer according to the invention.
  • FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the coupling of two front elements of the drawer according to the invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the two elements shown in FIG. 7 in a first position of insertion
  • FIG. 9 is a further perspective view of the two elements shown in FIG. 7 in a second position for coupling
  • FIG. 10 is a partially cross-sectional side view of the drawer according to the invention.
  • FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a side wall of the drawer according to the invention, with the moveable engagement means in the disengaged position;
  • FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the rear wall of the drawer according to the invention.
  • FIG. 13 is the cross-sectional view of FIG. 11 , with the engagement means in the rotated position for coupling.
  • the drawer according to the invention generally designated by the reference numeral 1 , comprises a pair of side walls 2 and 3 , a rear wall 4 , a bottom 5 and a front wall 6 .
  • the side walls are profiled walls made of metallic material that have hollow cross-sections that define end openings or cavities; the possibility is not ruled out however that the walls can instead be made of other materials, for example plastic materials, wood or the like.
  • the end openings are provided in the side walls 2 , 3 and in the rear wall 4 .
  • the end openings of the side walls are designated by the reference numeral 7
  • the end openings of the rear wall are designated by the reference numeral 8 .
  • the side walls 2 , 3 and the rear wall 4 have lateral surfaces that are extended according to a respective longitudinal axis, and according to the invention these surfaces have no openings and/or machining; in particular there is no opening or protrusion whose axis extends at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the walls proper.
  • coupling means are provided which are constituted by corner elements 10 which are provided at the coupling between the side walls 2 and 3 and the rear wall 4 , and front connectors 11 which are provided for coupling the side walls 2 and 3 with the front wall 6 .
  • the front connectors 11 are engaged by the front coupling means 12 which are arranged to be integral with the wall of the front panel 6 .
  • the side walls 2 and 3 have grooves 15 which are adapted to allow the coupling of the bottom 5 of the drawer.
  • corner connectors 10 are inserted in the end openings 7 of the side walls 2 and 3 on one side and in a central groove 20 of the rear wall 4 of the drawer according to the invention.
  • the drawer according to the invention has moveable engagement means which have a control element for example in the form of a slotted head for a screwdriver.
  • the moveable engagement means with control element preferably comprise eccentric engagement elements 25 which are rotatably moveable and, for the front connectors 11 and the parts of the corner connectors 10 that are to be inserted in the openings 7 of the side walls 2 , 3 , are in the form of screw means 25 ′, for example trilobular screws, which when they are tightened, among other things, generate a pull for a firmer coupling of the parts;
  • the head 26 is adapted to be rotated in an adapted seat defined in the corner connectors 10 (in this case designated by the reference numeral 27 ) and in the front connectors 11 (in this case the seat is designated by the reference numeral 28 ) and is conveniently shaped, for example with radial protrusions or beaks 26 ′, so as to define a stroke limiting stop for the rotation of the engagement means.
  • the head 26 is adapted to be rotated in such seats 27 and 28 and with their profile the screw means 25 ′ bite the inner profile of the end openings 7 with regard to the corner connectors 10 and the front connectors 11 .
  • the moveable engagement means 25 preferably comprise an eccentric engagement surface 30 , with or without threading, which can engage an upper surface 20 ′ of the central groove 20 of the rear wall 4 ; in this case also the head 26 is conveniently contoured, for example with a radial protrusion or beak 26 ′, to define a stroke limiting stop for the rotation of the engagement means.
  • the coupling means 12 of the front panel 6 are adapted to allow the coupling thereof in the front connectors 11 once these have been coupled to the side walls 2 and 3 .
  • the coupling elements 12 so as to retain in a longitudinal direction, have lateral grooves 12 ′ that extend vertically to engage with internal protrusions 11 ′ of the front connectors 11 by way of a sliding movement from the top downward shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 ; furthermore the coupling elements 12 have, on a rear side, an elastic retainer tooth 12 ′′ which can engage a transverse rib 11 ′′ in the front connector 11 , so as to firmly retain the parts and allow an uncoupling thereof only if a preset and significant upward stress is applied to the front panel 6 .
  • the assemblable drawer according to the invention is assembled as follows: firstly the operator arranges the side walls 2 , 3 , the rear panel or rear wall 4 , and the front panel 6 , together with the bottom 5 of the drawer. At this point the operator couples the coupling means, in the form of the rear corner connectors 10 and the front connectors 11 , within the side walls 2 , 3 , by tightening the coupling means within such walls with the moveable engagement means 25 ′ and 30 .
  • the moveable engagement means cause an engagement, with forced and/or shape coupling, in the end openings of the side walls 2 , 3 and in the central groove 20 of the rear wall 4 .
  • the operator applies the bottom panel 5 to the side walls by inserting it in the grooves 15 and finally he/she applies the front panel 6 by coupling the front coupling means 12 in the front connectors 11 .
  • the drawer according to the present invention fully achieves the set aim and objects, in that it makes it possible to be assembled in a simple and rapid manner, and it does not require lateral openings in the side walls of the drawer, making use instead of end openings that are substantially invisible to the user.
  • the materials used may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
