4 Claims.
Our invention relates to model building structures and more particularly to walls of such structures such as those for use in building miniatures of kitchen or laundry rooms. It has been customary in the past to provide scale miniatures of furniture, cabinets, appliances and other articles used in the home and to use these miniatures in planning full-sized rooms. Of course, walls are necessary to complete the model room structures, and our invention involves improvements in such wall construction.
Ordinarily, rooms such as the kitchen and laundry have a dropped ceiling or sofiit over wall cabinets which runs around the top of the walls next to the ceiling, and overhangs the walls. Difiiculty has been experienced in the past in providing a realistic sofiit for use with kitchen or laundry miniatures. One object of our invention is to provide a wall for such miniatures including a simulated soifit.
Scale models of kitchen and laundry often include items such as doors, windows, pictures, wall shelves, wall cabinets and wall-hung appliances, all of which items may be classified as simulations of wall-associated articles. Another object is to incorporate in model building structures a concealed means for securing scale models of wall-associated articles to the wall section.
A still further object of our invention is to provide a convenient scale so that the walls of rooms may be laid out in proper dimensions for study and planning.
These objects and others are accomplished by combining the sofiit and wall into a single item, altering the soflit construction at certain points, providing means to hang wall-associated articles without making holes in the wall face, and providing a suitable scale applied directly on each section. Other objects and the details of that which we believe to be novel and our invention will be clear from the following description and claims taken with the accompanying drawing in which is illustrated an example of model building structure embodying the present invention and incorporating our novel wall construction.
In the drawing Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing two angularly abutted wall sections according to our invention, together with scale models of various articles with which a model kitchen might be built; Fig. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of the outside of the two joined walls of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a perspective rear view of a cabinet or other article which may be used with a'wall according to the present invention,
and Fig. 4 is a fragmentary section on an enlarged scale taken substantially on line 44 of Fig. 2.
Walls for miniature or model building structures have been made without soflits, or with soffits as a separate item to be applied to wall sections. According to our inventon we provide two or more similar wall sections or units which are movable relative to each other and each of which carries its own soffit. We have indicated these wall sections at l and each of these has a longitudinally extending, imperforate rectangular panel 2, preferably made of light gauge sheet steel for purposes which will appear later. In order to support this wall panel in an upstanding manner from a table or other surface on which the model is to be assembled, We provide an outturned base or bottom flange 3 which extends along the length of the bottom of the wall section. Rectangular end flanges 4 on the wall sections may also be provided for stiffening the sections and for giving them a more finished appearance.
Along the top of each wall is secured a sofiit 5 composed of a horizontal 'soffit base 6 overhanging the wall panel and a vertical soifit face I projecting upwardly from the soffit base. This soflit is secured to the top edge of the wall by means of an outturned flange 8 on the top of the wall to which the inner end of the soffit base 6 is brazed, welded or otherwise secured as at 9. Immediately next to the line where the upper wall flange and the soffit base are secured together, we provide a step portion ID for slightly spacing the soffit from the top edge of the wall. This is shown as a step in the soffit base although obviously the step might be made in the wall flange. With either method of manufacture a slot or groove ll between the top of the wall and the bottom of the sofiit is produced.
When it is desired to join one of the wall simulating sections in abutting angular relation to another similar wall section, the overhanging soflits would interfere with each other excepting that we discontinue or cut away the sofiit portions at the end of one of the wall sections. This means that the top wall flange 8 is cut away as at [2, the soflit base 6 is cut away as at l3 and the soilit face I is cut away as at M. The distance of this cut-away portion is equal to the distance of overhang of the somt of the similar wall section with which the section under consideration is to be used. Because the soffit at one end. is thus discontinued, this end of the wall section can be brought close to the face of an adjoining wall section at any point along its length as shown clearly in Figs. 1 and 2.
In order to provide a convenient scale for indicating the dimensions of a room built from the above described walls, we have shown a top edge or face IE on the soffit. This is generally parallel to the sofiit base and of a width or depth such that it extends back toward the extended vertical plane of the wall panel with its free edge 16 terminating in the plane of the extended wall panel. At the end where the soffit is discontinued, this top face I5 is preferably extended for'the full length of the wall face below it, as shown at [1, the end portion thereof being bent slightly upwards as indicated at [8 in order to slide easily over the sofiit which it overlaps.
A suitable scale [9 is provided along the free edge l6 so that measurements for layout of. sample rooms can be made easily. This scale starts at the end of the wall where the soflit is cut away, for convenience in laying out rooms according to known dimensions.
Adapted for use with the walls above described are models orminiatures of articles or appliances made on the same scale as the scale it at the top of the walls. We have shown models of a refrigerator 20, a range 2i, a sink 22 and various floorcabinets 23, 24, 25 and 26. These are typical articles of kitchen furniture, and other articles may be provided in like fashion as is customary, including such things as washers, driers, and ironers for use in building a model of a laundry. All'of theabove-described items rest on the table or other surface on which the wall simulating structure is placed and need not be secured or hung to the wall. However, if it is desired to add doors,windows,wall cabinets and other articles usually associated with the walls rather than with the floor of a room, some extra means should be provided for hanging these wall-associated articles. It is for this purpose that the groove H is provided at the top of the wall. It is also for this reason that the walls are made of sheet steel. We haveshown a door simulating panel 2 and a window simulating panel 28 both hung from the groove ll by means of a simple top flange 29. It should be clear that the cooperation of thefiange 29 with the groove H permits the removable location of either the door or the window at any point along the wall. Wall cabinets or otherarticles could also be hung in this fashion.
In some instances it might be desirable to locate the wall-associated articles at a distance spaced downwardly from the bottom of the soffit. For this reason, or in case the groove H is not provided, we may utilize the magnetic qualities of tne steel wall to hang the wall-associated articles thereon. For example, two'styles of wall cabinets 3t and 3! are shown. Referring to Fig. 3, the rear of these cabinets may be provided with aso'cket 32 in which a small but powerful permanent magnet 33 is moulded, cemented or otherwise suitably secured. The cabinet model itself is made of a suitable non-magnetic light material such as plastic, and when the cabinet is applied to the wall the magnet will hold it in place and yet permit manual shifting of the cabinet to any desired position on the wall. Preferably, and as shown, the magnet is located at the top of the cabinet so that gravity will simply aid in positioning the cabinet vertically. More than one magnet might be used if found necessary to support larger sizes of cabinets.
In'both forms of support for the wall-assolation of an actual room arrangement.
As will be evident from the foregoing description, certain'aspects of our invention are not limited to the particular details of construction of the example illustrated, and we contemplate that various and other modifications and applications of the invention will occur to those skilled in the art. It is therefore our intention that the appended claims shall cover such modifications and applications as do not depart from the true spirit and scope of our invention.
